I adore VLC.
I’ve been using Linux Mint for almost a year and a half now: would recommend it to anyone ready to make a jump into Linux and away from Windows. It’s quite friendly.
I’m also quite enjoying Sonarr to keep track of some older television shows that I enjoy.
I enjoy that Mr. Torvalds is referred to as an “emperor penguin.”
That is all.
Followed!
Litigation in 3… 2… 1…
Alright! I picked up a pack, and two extra “Logo World Circles”. I’m looking forward to seeing the graphics I assisted with as stickers, @cheeseblintzes@lemmy.world! Not 100% where I’ll be putting them, but they’ll be placed somewhere…
Oh yeah.
This is going on the fridge…
My home server is a Ubuntu install on a 2017 laptop. A lot of guides have been very useful.
I installed several other tools, with Portainer, for a variety of imaged applications. With various containers I installed Jellyfin (for hosting old videos and converted media of mine), Calibre (for a digital library of textbooks from my history degree) and a few other tools. I’ve been half-tempted to host some WordPress sites, but I have yet to figure out nginx…
There is this guy who killed 40,000 elephants because he thought it’d improve the environment.
Anyways, it was a poor decision, which harmed the natural regrowth of grasses in Africa. And probably contributed to drought and poor soil conditions there. Sadly, he has been regarded as an expert and heralded as an environmentalist par excellance. So, less of a stupid prize for him than a poor prize for humanity writ-large.
Ah, it feels like home already.
Ah!
You have two options:
I go through Patreon, as I also contribute to a local news site and to the Mastodon developer team (… and so I can snoop in their Discord, which is Patreon only). I believe there is a preference for OpenCollective as a platform of choice.
Calckey has that. And so do other Fediverse alternatives.
It’d be nice to have some flair or a shiny object to showcase contributions to the funding effort. And something really simple would be excellent.
I’m already giving monthly through the Patreon for Lemmy.world / Mastodon.world. So, I’m fairly comfortable!
Agreed. It’s one of the reasons I enjoy being a monthly Patreon to Lemmy.world. Ruud and the admin team post updates to blog.mastodon.world, and through Open Collective highlight their outflows and inflows of cash.
It’s a best practice for building transparent communities. By sharing information, and showcasing where a person’s donations go, it builds confidence in a team of volunteers by a network. Also, for curious types like me, I can see what’s happening.
As a side benefit, it allows for teams to build resources and establish new projects, like Lemmy.world. Which is excellent.
Agreed! :lw: It’s such a cute critter!
