I mostly post about fediverse, privacy, and gaming. With a smidge of random crap.
I used to boost more than I post, but I'm trying to be more active. Very occasionally blog. Relevant links pinned

Oh, PeerTube (an open, self-hostable, decentralized video platform) is still accepting crowdfunding donations for their mobile app, and sadly is still missing quite a bit:
https://support.joinpeertube.org/en/
I'd love for it to become more popular. To me, personally, the lack of a mobile, but especially an AndroidTV app that can follow submissions on multiple instances, was always kinda a dealbreaker for me to use it regularly.
BUT I love the project and want it to succeed so we have a better YouTube alternative!
So, maybe you can also chip in, or just spread the word that it exists. ❤️
This is exactly the type of car I've been looking for for several years. Cheap, modular, no built in spyware or smarts. 😍

I'm seeing a lot of articles for "how to pre-order a Nintendo Switch 2" and I don't think the writers realize that basically no one wants one.
So what's FIRES? It's this project of mine: https://fires.fedimod.org — essentially a tool to enable groups of people to share moderation decisions, and is designed in a way that encourages people to review those decisions and apply as they see fit.
It's also a reasonably immutable changelog of those decisions, which means you can see when a decision was added and hopefully why.
The PineNote is here! I'm planning on making a hands on video to share my experience. Let me know if you have any questions you want me to try and answer. I don't plan to do technical tests but open to collaborating on it.
First impression, feels like a quality and sturdy device. Feels good in the hand, the texture is a kinda soft grippy plastic. Pen felt good, the writing friction seems ok, I don't want to make any software qualifications until I update the device but still happy with the out-of-box experience. The wake from sleep time is essentially instant.
@PINE64 great work on the PineNote, I'm very impressed with the hardware!
Edit 2: there's renewed interest in this post, feel free to check out the first impressions video (~6 mins, which has a good bit of usage footage), in case that post isn't visible to you.
Edit: Link to blog post with thoughts after day one. Since I'm on a single user instance most people may not see the thread with info that hasn't been boosted, the post has all of it.
So I lost my jingpad when I moved in 2022. I just found it. Does anyone know if there is an aftermarket is I can put on it? Ideally I'd like it to be Linux, not Android. It's starting to look like my options are cybersecurity nightmare, or paperweight.
Boosts appreciated!
