  • Owncast Stream whatever you want on your own platform and announce natively to the Fediverse!

    IDK why but tons of folks think it’s not feasible as they need million dollar computers. I’ve streamed to 70+ open streams, albeit as a test, on a like $5/month VPS. The key is that the resources needed are how many qualities you’re transcoding, not how many folks are viewing. Yes bandwidth is needed for each viewer, but that’s significantly less than people imagine.

    Full transparency I run the !owncast@lemmy.world community, but I’m in no way affiliated with the project. I just love open platforms and open source.



  • I’ve been on Proton for years and I’ve had a Visionary account for years. Proton’s price doesn’t really go up, but the quality and features does immensely. They give me extra storage every year. I get more VPNs, more password managers, more and more and more. IMO they have a track that shows they care about privacy and want to make things better.





















  • libreddit is the Reddit front end. Reddit did something, it seems they blocked IP addresses. There are ways around it and folks do have some instances, but there’s sitll a lot out there that don’t work. You can rung your own libreddit and put it through Cloudflare’s bridge thing and then point libredirect to your own libreddit for stability.







  • Their design was more mobile type wherr you don’t minimize windows, you just switch between them or between spaces. I’ve used Gnome forever, including the rough times on Gnome 3.0, and I’ve always used a system tray as well. Never liked leaving clutter everywhere and imo it goes against the minimal design. But thankfully easily extendible.


  • Tunic, The Typing of the Dead, Pitfall, Worms Reloaded, Cassette Beasts, Legend of Zelda, TMNT Aracde, Bluey, SMB2 USA, TASBot, Shovel Knight Treasure Trove, Kirby, Castlevania 3, Celeste, Super Mario Maker 2, SMB Wonder, Mario Kart 64, SMB Lost Levels, Lies of P, BG3.

    And I plan on waking up early for tbcr’s Fort BOyard: The Challenge. Former coworker of mine and just enjoy his runs and the silliness it brings. Yourself?
