I’ve been curious about going alone on the Fedi but I’ve always been concerned about data storage. How much drive space do you think is required? I presume it accumulates over time.

Cost per month or year?

Unfortunately people don’t see voting systems as a method to highlight the relavency of a contribution. They see it as a like/dislike system, and so I see as shut up signal used by most because downvoting a contribution buries it to the bottom where few people will see it.

If it was used for relevancy and quaility then communities would be self regulating by the users. I believe Reddit’s guidelines state(s/d) it’s voting system was meant to be for relevancy, even though most people use it as a like/dislike system.

How do you find seeders of rare content?

You could turn off the DHCP server on your router and let your server handle it. You can then tell your clients to use Pi hole via the DHCP running on your server

Who says the ISP isn’t blocking ports via a firewall?

I thought it was common practice for ISPs to block certain ports for residential connections?

I have a friend who’s in the computer repair business. He uses PNY drives because out of the hundreds he’s installed, he’s yet to see one come back with a faulty drive, unlike some of the other brands he’s tried like Kingston. He gets the base size and base speed drives as his customers tend not to use a lot of data.

I had a friend who had a SanDisk and it also failed. I also think SanDisk thumb drives suck.

I’ve seen many Kingston drives at work fail, which I think is interesting because their thumb drives are some of the best. Actual USB 3 speeds and built well.

I had one around 2012-2013 and it failed on me. I had issues with it throughout its life but I didn’t realise it was the drive until I upgraded to a Samsung.

Your OS doesn’t matter when picking a VPN provider.

Others have mentioned plenty of good options.

I wish he didn’t ramble as much as he does. Most of his videos could be a quarter of the length.

When I searched for a cheap VPS I settled on IONOS’s XS package (this 1€/month). It’s one of the cheapest out there. Bonus is that it’s a company we all recognise and can reasonably trust. And there are no weird gimmicks either; it’s just straight forward.

One thing missing from this XS package compared to their other packages from IONOS is that there is no resource monitor on their web panel, which can be useful if you don’t want to set up your own.

I thought I’d give you context just in case, as your question was vague. You might not have consumed YouTube and was blissfully unaware. :)

That’s because they asked the internet for those polls. The internet thinks they’re funny by picking the meme numbers. So I can understand why they chose to omit those numbers from their results.

YouTube STEM educator. 15 million subscribers. Probably in the top 5 STEM educators on the platform.

He released a video on the number 37 two weeks ago, with 6 million views.

Hello Veritasium enjoyer

Apparently the files were never deleted. The issue was something failed with a temp profile during the update process for some users. I don’t care enough to read on it further. That’s good enough in my opinion and not a reason to avoid Windows.

I haven’t experienced the missing files issue on any of the machines I use, nor have the people I know. I guess the missing files thing is when some people set up their directories in a specific unusual way.

On a couple of machines my personal directories are in the default locations and on one machine there on a separate drive.

This is what I was already comparing. Ugreen make thinner cables?

There was a submission made about how few people donate to the Devs. I asked about transparency and some links were given that show some things. I commented that it’s not as transparent as it seems at first glance and they responded that it’s fully transparent. I asked them to clarify but they decided to ignore me. I see why the Devs get criticism.
