is there a good comparison of the server resources required for running different #activitypub servers somewhere? i'm interested mostly in cpu, ram and network traffic
@nebulos
OMG, now them naming it FIDO makes a lot of sense! 😲
@catto
It's good until you get addicted and realise that not getting any sleep for five days straight probably isn't that much fun 😈
@Kancept
For both I have my own sets of patches to make them look… less like a blast from the past — with colour emojis you can spice up any UI! this is what tut looks like on an old ThinkPad of mine: https://social.librem.one/@m0xee/112988783753634643
And here is Bloat on my old Lumia: https://social.librem.one/@m0xee/112214024764622399
As tut doesn't display images — but you can invoke your favourite image view if you like, and Bloat is self hosted — so I can do whatever I want with CSS, I'm quite comfortable browsing the Fediverse at night!
@Kancept
Some of the computers I use are… I can of course call them retro to make it sound cooler, but in fact they are just old and anemic — so I mostly go for minimalism 😄
I like using tut — check it out if you like TUI software: https://github.com/RasmusLindroth/tut/
Or Bloat frontend: https://git.freesoftwareextremist.com/bloat/ — which uses basic HTML with optional and very minimal JavaScript, it even runs on my old Windows 10 Mobile phone!
@thatguyoverthere
I hope it does! At least that is what my plan was 😈

No one expects him to be particularly competent, I think he doesn't fully understand the situation yet — much less how to deal with it. But Trump is able to act unpredictably — something Pooteen expects only he himself can do.
Ordering the Tomahawk strike on Syria, or this drone strike killing top Iranian commander: https://www.cnn.com/2020/01/02/middleeast/baghdad-airport-rockets/index.html
Some, myself included — and I'm hardly a Trump sympathiser, expect him to do something like that again, something that would shake the table🤷
@Kancept
Ha-ha-ha, yeah — I'm mostly a desktop guy myself so I tend to forget about the "app" side of things.
Using a browser is an option, but last time I checked I didn't like Masto's mobile web UI — sidebar on the right taking too much screen space and other minor details like that. Again it's possible to fix with CSS injections, but using a dedicated app is more comfy for a lot of people and integrating proper "night more" would sure be welcome!
@gemlog
Yeah, I totally like your approach — computers are fun, but once you start doing that all day everyday, eventually you start hating it — at least that's how I usually ended up with: having a good job and making good money, but burning out — and taking to take an extensive break, which I could afford. It's fun, but I don't think this can go on indefinitely.
Being able to work outdoors, doing physical work, is good — but it's hard to maintain proper balance once you get a desk job.
@gemlog
It would certainly take time to adapt, but I'm open to learning whatever language I have to and culturally I'm quite openminded.
@gemlog
I have a few friends who moved to Germany and they like it there. Again, I wouldn't mind if I get a good job — having friends to hang out with is also a plus, but somehow this still doesn't sit right with me — probably due to German political establishment and their role in failing to act decisively and stopping this disaster.
I have friends in Spain too and they like the warmer climate, but I'm not a fan — but again, I probably wouldn't mind, I'm not picky 😅
@gemlog
Depend on where I would be able to secure a job — beggars can't be choosers😅
For me getting a job I would be comfortable with is more important than… location.
Originally I was aiming for Poland — culturally not too different, but now I doubt it would be possible, or in the foreseeable future, I don't expect everyone to be hostile, but it's still hard to avoid being prejudiced, especially for Poles. Same goes for Baltic states I think…
So Western Europe most probably 🤷
@gemlog
Nah! I'm currently unemployed and living in the city I don't have to go out much — unless I do it on my own volition. It's only raining here — it did snow a couple of times, but it fails to stick yet. This type of weather: neither raining, nor snowing, nor clear — botches my sleep schedule and I'm in this permanent state of half-asleep half-awake — not great, but I'll be fine.
Good luck with your routine!
@gemlog
Sounds nice! I'll check it out too — thanks again!
@gemlog
I mean sure, it adds an extra layer of security — as they (supposedly) do not store your messages in the clear, this makes using SMTP and IMAP impossible, but if you do need them, it's an extra hassle.
None
Just in case: DMs/PMs simply don't exist on this instance as concept — don't use them, use the other instance if you absolutely have to, or send an email to any address at m0xEE.Net or .Com or .Org, but I prefer keep most communication public.
