Just why.
Seriously why does it seem over the last 15 years public toilets are becoming rarer it’s a mystery to me. Like the world population is growing a lot and we pay more taxes then ever, but it’s harder to relieve yourself in public then ever.
And now businesses are trying to monetize the few toilets in public we still have.
The difference is twitter is just another big social media platform. Elon Musk isn’t potentially trying to ruin an open source federated alternative that fixes a lot of the problems with social media. He’s just messing around with and tanking a big corpo social media site.
So I honesty don’t really care about twitter as it will get us more users if he burns it down, if the Zuck doesn’t ruin us first.
Basically twitter isn’t a threat to us and could actually be a big help.
Threads could ruin everything we’ve worked for.
As someone who is also looking at building a server for different things then you( mainly nextcloud and a few other self hosted services). if you don’t need more then 2tb of storage look into a used HP mini office PC.
They are cheap at less then £200 for an older model or even sub £100
They are a lot more powerful then an SBC like a raspberry pi but without being an electricity consumption monster like a lot of servers
Some have a 60W PSU so they are dirt cheap to run
Newer ones have a 2.5 SATA slot and a M.2 slot( including the 60W model I’m looking at getting used). So you can have dual drives for a fast main drive and a backup drive or RAID depending on how you set it up
They are small and don’t take up much room in your house like a raspberry pi
If you need more space and it doesn’t have to be super fast you could get a USB NAS for it
So overall they are a really good option if you want something small and you don’t have a ton of money for hardware or electricity but a raspberry pi doesn’t fulfil your performance needs.
I tend to just share lists, and if they can’t be bothered to look the song up then their loss
