I tend to just share lists, and if they can’t be bothered to look the song up then their loss




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.



Why is this whole platform obsessed with twitter. I thought people came here to get away from mainstream social media, not hang on every little detail of how a rich dude mismanages his latest purchase.


Easy solution don’t use it!

Honesty though aren’t there laws to prevent companies from behaving like this, or are they paying the law makers too well.


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.



Nextcloud, after setting it up it gives me everything I love about Google and Apple’s cloud services without the privacy invasion or any of the other cons. And I even find it more stable and less buggy. 10/10


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.
