So how would this work with the fediverse? Like we federate all content…its going to be VERY difficult to do anything if political content creators keep being told to take it down.

I’m not sure what you mean? I have voice, video and text working on my yunohost without any real issues. My wife and I use it all the time. Element (the client) could be a bit easier def on the initial experience, but to me that’s it.

The thing discord has is the people. When discord went down a couple of weeks ago, my tiny instance quadrupled in users. And the local city specific matrix got quite a few.

Most tape drives can do that but they are slow.

Someone can correct me but if I recall there’s many types. So it’s a complicated answer.

Tape drives are pretty good too. I worked at a few places where they still used them in case of disaster.

You are correct.

I’m just wondering as everyone likes to think of what they would do in a post-collapse society…when in reality these tiny drives will probably be much less useful than the knowledge on how to create electricity. Solar or otherwise. I like them though, and the article does an awesome job at stating what their purpose is. That’s great.

Solar has the issue that it’s hard to create the panels themselves, but there’s a plethora of ways to create and maintain electrical systems. A small wind generator could probably be easy to rig up as well.

Back when my state had power outages every other day for long periods of time, we found out what worked and what didn’t real quick.

Self hosting and open source to me is the most important part. Federation can come if the need arises. I was just curious.

I’m personally going to stay on my matrix channels as they seem more established. But it’s good to have options.

Right now discord seems fine but I’ve already lived through many de-platforming events. And one day it too will go the way of the dodo. People getting attached to nameless online services is funny.

Thanks!

So why not matrix?

Is revolt federated?

Thanks @helpcomputer0@mastodon.art !

Why are so many accusers dieing by suicide in the same day?

May they rest in peace.

I usually just go on new then see what people are posting. Then subscribe to communities.

Wrap em in foil. Boom protected. But kinda moot if there’s no power.

Kiwix is awesome. Many many years ago we made a sharepx from all of Gutenbergs library and creative commons works. We also added public maps.

Less end of the world, more entertainment and helping out the community.

There are also pirate boxes that do the same with not so free resources. And they work offline for hundreds of devices.

Other software like Piefed you actually do get private votes.

Just fyi, this only works on Lemmy but not Piefed or other software.

Looks awesome!

This is the same person on a podcast.

I believe he only owns 10%ish of the company now. And most of his investments are in spacex. So I’m honestly not sure what hes going to do.

oh no.
