In time,

I hope to set up a tiny self hosted instance running on a Raspberry Pi. Containing my personal bubble of interests. In other words it will be my virtual cyber essence.

My cyber-sole/soul if you like, the best bits. Calling my Lemmy/Fediverse instance, Operation Horcrux.

IT is a dream. Expecto Patronum …

This morning, I tried to get into Sopuli, using Firefox on Puppy Linux.

Could I? No! It was rustating. I would say frustrating but I feel ironed out.

I do move between input hardware, so difficult to say what the issue was.

Sadly don't have the interest to chase it down. Just venting. Sorry!

Examples:

• Mastodon could use the up down reddit style boost/like buttons
• Just giving stylistic differences to services is less important (but end users love it) as it is easier to implement …
• Certain aspects are a nightmare of complexity for end users, for example taking followers to new instances should be automatic, then give users the option to unsubscribe, downvote etc
• User simplicity is the strength of the centralised twitter, reddit etc … until the content pushing/commercial payback of bubble bursting overvaluations …

who has sent invites?

I was thinking of sending out invites to my old Puppys (Puppy users) but I use Raspbian, Manjaro and [shield your eyes] even BSD derivative IOS … ☺️

Is we St Ignatius of GNU compatible? 🤔

Never been much for ribbit/rabbit/read it so don't ever remember registering. I like fediverse mentality and extreme ad-minning but which lemmy lemming to jump off the cliff with?

No haters … and liked the Beaver.

Here I iz and likes it

Lots! ☑️💕❣️

Dear Friends,

went to our local cemetery to tend an ancient ancestor, well just my gran actually. The grave was full of earth, few months ago seeded with meadow wild flowers. Now cornflowers and others are blooming. Sadly much of the high grassland they will spread to was being mowed with petrol strimmers.

Find the corners of earth, I live in a metro area and will continue seeding as the wind blows …

Many years ago when I was a baby distro-hopping penguin, I new so little. And many distros were full of watered down unix illuminati. Very condescending/dismissive/unkind advisory know it alls. Boo! Hiss!

A rather intriguing Linux, not even on version one had a kind user; knowledgeable, patient and willing to answer my noob questions. I had that distro on the back burner, valuing its incredible speed and efficient programs but its screen scrolling was s l o w on my hardware …

And then … I was helped with making use of my very old graphic card. Whoosh, all of a sudden Puppy Linux was viable and still very different, experimental and well … just small, efficient, ran from RAM as root. Basically the way Linux for a desktop could be …

I was hooked in …

I was not much for programming but could support in a variety of other ways. Daily news-letters, youtube talks, curating the wiki, posts on the forum. Testing every release and reporting back etc. etc.

I am no longer active but remember …

… support your distro … My very first act was starting this page … grown a bit since then https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puppy_Linux
