EU OS: A Fedora-based distro 'for the public sector' (eu-os.gitlab.io)
 

It's only a proof of concept at the moment and I don't know if it will see mass adoption but it's a step in the right direction to ending reliance on US-based Big Tech.

Outer Worlds. Not exactly a bad game but fell just a tad short of being F:NV spiritual successor.

When building a home server, could a used/cheap PC do the job? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)
 

I've never done any sort of home networking or self-hosting of any kind but thanks to Jellyfin and Mastodon I've become interested in the idea. As I understand it, physical servers ("bare metal" correct?) are PCs intended for data storing and hosting services instead of being used as a daily driver like my desktop. From my (admittedly) limited research, dedicated servers are a bit expensive. However, it seems that you can convert an old PC and even laptop into a server (examples here and here). But should I use that or are there dedicated servers at "affordable" price points. Since is this is first experience with self-hosting, which would be a better route to take?

These corpos can keep playing tongo all they want but I'll just stick to my flouridated dihydrogen monoxide.

Is there any actual good content on PeerTube? in c/[email protected]

If you've got the storage and bandwith, there's nothing stopping you from "mirroring" your favorite content creator's videos.

Correct me if I'm wrong but extensions can still be installed manually correct?

European alternatives to Amazon that ship to the US? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)
 

I expect and even encourage multiple anwsers. My main concern is computer parts and other tech related products but other specialities welcomed.

Historically, Tiwana said, the US has been “considered the beacon of democracy and defense of fundamental freedoms”

What a fall from grace. Il Duce would've been glad.

Will a Fairphone 5 work in the US? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)
 

Only Fairphone 4 is currently available in the US via their US partner Murena. While I could get that one, I want to support Fairphone by boosting sales of their current model. If I were to buy one and put in a US SIM card, would I be able to make and receive calls?

No but like for real? They're just kinda cute in c/[email protected]
