fuuko: Good afternoon #sdf, #tildeverse and #gopher users! Today I want to go out exercising, but it keeps lightning and raining a lot here. Anyways, I'm supposed to get my Raspberry Pi Zero Wireless tomorrow! I need to look up how to make it portable, so time to search for projects for it! Finally, with my roommate I'm going to go see a movie! DnD is unfortunately cancelled tomorrow due to the fact that the DM is sick.

fuuko: Good afternoon #sdf, #tildeverse and #fediverse! Today I wonder about how we can make self-hosting easy for the average person. Something they could learn in 5 min with a cheat sheet. Of course, it depends on what you want to self-host, and it also opens a can of security worms. Maybe peer-to-peer solutions are the way to go for now? Stuff like RetroShare, ZeroNet, I2P and the like are good examples I guess, but are there other good applications out there not listed on wikipedia?

fuuko: Good afternoon #sdf and others! Today it's been stormy here in Florida. I don't feel like working on anything today, just catching up on various things. I ordered the first volume of Battle Angel Alita since I want to see how bad Hollywood butchers it like they did Ghost in the Shell. I also ordered a Raspberry Pi Zero W(ireless) that I want to turn into something portable, but I have no idea where to begin with that.Also I plan to Linux on one of my old game consoles(the Wii) cuz I can :)

fuuko: Good afternoon #sdf, #fediverse and #phloggers! Today I plan to experiment with the #tomu, which, if you didn't know, is an ARM microcontroller that is super tiny! You plug it into the usb port of your computer, in fact! It also has 2 buttons and 2 LEDs. It doesn't have much storage space, but someone managed to put C64 BASIC onto it, which you can access via serial! Anyways, I'm also playing with a #opensolaris distro called Tribblix. It's apparently meant to be retro and uses SVR4 packages

fuuko: Good afternoon #sdf, #fediverse and #phloggers! Today Discord was down for 30 minutes(as far as I know). This isn't a rant about Discord, however. I just know that millions of people place their trust and their business(like streamers) onto proprietary networks like Twitch and Discord. What happens when proprietary software becomes too big to fail? I don't want to see my fav Twitch streamers lose their business, but I'm worried...

It's an intentional community like tilde.town. It runs on a freedombox. I want to promote free software, open hardware and more within it.

So I updated my phlog and today will update my homepage. The thing is, I want to completely revamp my site into one that's lynx friendly(Which it already kinda is) and is less messy with the links. So yeah, I need inspiration!

fuuko: Good evening #sdf and others! I wanted to show everyone that, with relative ease, one could make their own community using a #raspberrypi 3 and the #freedombox. So far I have #Matrix, #Mumble and #IRC working on it. For some reason #xmpp wouldn't work, even after re-installation.

fuuko: Good afternoon #sdf + #fediverse + #phloggers ! Still waiting for a distro to replace my Win10 machine! I'm thinking that until I can replace it, I'll use the #freebsd desktop I have.I'm also thinking that I won't be running a #tilde, #gopher, #irc or any other type of instance atm because in order people to want to come to it, it's gotta be advertised and most people just wind up going to either SDF or tilde.town. I still plan to use the #freedombox because it's amazing!

I am thinking of converting my #freedombox setup to a #tilde, and it should be rather easy to do so. As far as my #BBS goes, I am thinking of retiring that and just using that for a box that runs #syncthing and #gopher!

Do you ever see how many online accounts you have, and realize you've probably been data-mined since the beginning of whenever all that Web 2.0 stuff began?

fuuko: Good afternoon #sdf, #fediverse and #phloggers! Unfortunately, I am still tied down by proprietary services. I think I can get rid of twitter now, I just need to tell my friends about Mastodon! Next on the hit list is google! Then finally, the big one, facebook. It's been a long road, but I believe that I will become proof that nowadays you don't need to rely on such services and that, depending on your needs, there's a better solution out there just waiting to be used!

Also I got a #disroot account! It's awesome that they use #nextcloud, #xmpp and a host of other free software for their site! I would like a #riseup account too, but apparently you need an invite link or something.

On another note, my new laptop, the sound wasn't working right, and I figured out that it was driver issues. I fixed it! Sadly tho, I can't switch to Linux just yet because the wireless driver hasn't been integrated into the kernel. It's a Realtek 8723de card.On the DnD front, I found a campaign to DM! Woo!

It's running pretty smooth so far! As far as my #BBS goes, I'm thinking of also making a website that would advertise it and directs people on how to reach it.

It's easy to find newer used stuff like iPads and whatnot here, and I would have no problem getting those or old iMacs or PCs, but the stuff I'm really after is like 486's and Pentiums!

fuuko: I've realized something. It's hard to make something like #SDF or #tildetown and attract people. People still want ease of use, despite the fact that their privacy, liberty and so on is endangered when they use sites like #Birdsite and #Facebook. I suppose only a simple web interface is the real option for most of these cases, because otherwise 90% of people will scoff at it. We need something like the #freedombox . but "automatic" and instantly deployable to achieve true success I feel.

fuuko: Good evening #SDF and the wider #fediverse! Played some #Tekken today with friends and kicked butt with Kazuya, although shortly later I got my butt kicked by a Asuka player! Man I love #fighting games, always great fun to have tournaments with your buds. Anyways, today I saw an instance of #peertube setup and I thought that was awesome, eventually I'd like to setup my own instance of it. Lets keep fighting the good fight and not hand over our digital lives to #google and #facebook!

fuuko: Good afternoon #SDF, the #fediverse too! So I need to eventually make a one-shot for #dnd, and I heard there were several free one-shots available for free on the net? I dunno if I'd be any good at DMing, but I want to try it at least once! Hope everyone is doing well, and be sure to take care of yourself emotionally, physically and if you're religious, spiritually. I feel like I want to transform my SDF website, but I don't know what direction to take it in... anyways, later folks!

fuuko: Good evening #SDF and the wider #Fediverse! I'm still working on getting myself free from the clutches of #google and #comcast, but I feel like I'm 50% of the way there. I still use #twitter and #facebook, but feel bad about it. I can't give up facebook over night like I can twitter however, as it's the only way to really get in contact with family for now. How do you peeps deal with having to use a service you want no part of? Also, #MetaARPA is scheduled for next month at this rate :D

fuuko: Good evening #SDF and the wider #fediverse! Listening to classic #punk rock! So I tried the #Freedombox, but I ran into a snag. I already use a port for my #NextCloud that the Freedombox wants to use as well. The only option really is to take down my Nextcloud if I want to use the Freedombox. That's not really an option, so I'm considering what to do... if only Nextcloud and Freedombox could team up or something, that would be sweet. Then maybe both services could be integrated into one!

fuuko: Good evening #sdf and the wider #fediverse! What do y’all think of living in “constrained” environments with limited RAM, processor speed and hard drive space? I frequently use my raspberry pi(s) and I’ve gotten used to it. It’s weird, I still desire to have a maxed out rig but I’m strangely at peace with something “most” people would find infuriating.

fuuko: Good afternoon #SDF and the wider #fediverse! Recently my #backup (2tb)external drive has started to get loud, so that means it's probably time to get a new one. Problem is, I have another drive, but it can't hold as much as the other one(1tb). I think I honestly have a problem with "digital hoarding", because I like use 1% of the stuff I backup. I think I could keep all the stuff I care about on a 100-200GB usb #flash drive instead... what do you peeps do regarding backups?

fuuko: Good afternoon #SDF! So I got SIP working last night, and today I'll make some calls! I think next month I should have enough dough to do a yearly sub for MetaARPA. Also might install the Freedombox( https://freedombox.org/ ) onto a Raspberry Pi 3, but I need to buy an ethernet cable first, or look to see if I have any spare ones...

fuuko: Hi all! My 2018 #SDF aspirations have gone well so far, lets review them and see what else we need to accomplish!1. Meet an awesome #community:Done!2. Make a #homepage:Done!3. Make a #phlog:Done!4. Get #MetaARPA status:Not yet!5. Utilize all of SDF's features:Partial!I have much more to do than just the above, but I feel in SDF's case that's what is most important for me right now. SDF has really made a difference in my life, so I hope to spread the word about it to others!

fuuko: Good evening #sdf! What do you regularly do with your time on sdf? What kind of account do you hold with it and why? Do you plan to upgrade anytime soon? What do you feel sdf should do now and in the future?

fuuko: Good evening #SDF and the wider #fediverse! So I'm just wondering, for all the SDF users, what got you into the service? Were you there when it was still a #BBS? What do you hope for the future of #SDF and sites that provide #Unix environments? And, lastly, on a different note, do you think #Windows 10 will possibly be the last Windows MS releases because of the rumored 'S' feature being turned on permanently? Note: For those not in the know, the 'S' feature is for WIndows to only use store apps

fuuko: Good afternoon #SDF and the wider #fediverse! Today I'd like to talk about yourtilde.com! I recently joined there as a member and found the place to be really nice! I will be starting a blog to review "hidden" communities such as SDF, tilde and other ones soon. I will be sure to link the blog articles to this Mastdon. If you're interested in such things, or know of where to find more communities like the above, hit me up!
