  • I run Arch on my laptop, which is the machine I use most.

    My personal desktop runs Cachy at the moment because I felt like trying something new.

    The family desktop has Debian for its stability and ease of maintenance (I only have to update it like once a month).

    I installed Zorin on my mom’s ex’s computer (and set it to auto update) because he’s a bit technologically impaired.

    Edit: I use DietPi on my Raspberry Pi 3B. It was the easiest way to get Nextcloud running.

    Okay, so for some context .ml is run by the Lemmy devs and the devs are openly tankies (authoritarian communists). .ml, along with Lemmygrad (also run by the devs) and Hexbear are known as the Tankie Triad. While not as bad as the other two, .ml still has a lot of tankies compared to instances that aren’t part of the triad. Additionally, .ml used to be the recommended instance (until .world came along), making it one of the more populated instances. Most other instances defederate with Lemmygrad and Hexbear, but not necessarily .ml.

    Basically, there’s a lot of extremely opinionated and often combative people there and provoking them (intentionally or not) is very easy.

    That’s my understanding of the situation anyway.




  • You should look into Rockbox. It’s an open source alternative firmware for a variety of portable media players that adds features such as support for more file formats (and it runs Doom). As for which supported players I’d recommend then maybe a flash modded iPod or an AIGO Eros Q or K (also sold as the HIFI WALKER H2, Surfans F20, or AGPTek H3).
