For many people, the #Linux vs #Windows vs #Mac debate is a privilege — it assumes you can choose. But working with the Computer Upcycle Project, I've seen the real choice is often Linux vs no computer at all.

~95% of donated computers are "too old" for Windows 11 or macOS. Linux installs on them anyway, adding 10+ years of life to machines #Microsoft and #Apple called trash.

This isn't Linux vs Windows. It's Linux vs e-waste.

I turned a tiny #Mac mini into my own #Mastodon server—secure, low‑maintenance, and running like a dream. Here’s the full build, from #Docker to #Cloudflare Tunnel, and why #SelfHosting doesn’t have to be a headache.

The Linux project continues.

Bonus learning: you'd think older machines would struggle, but I've seen no post-install h/w issues on my 13-year-old MacBook Pro: wifi, bluetooth, ethernet, screen, touchpad, keyboard, speakers...

I suspect age is a benefit to a point, the Linux community having had more time to solve things, subverting Apple's planned obsolescence and urge to sell more regardless of environmental impact.

Here's a pic to celebrate.

#Macstodon now runs in the latest bleeding-edge build of the Snow emulator! And if you use Snow's built-in HTTPS stripping, then you don't have to configure WebOne or another proxy, just install Macstodon and start using it 😎

Thanks @twvd for the FPU fixes and all the other hard work you put into Snow! This is the kick-in-the-pants I need to get the next version of Macstodon out the door 🙂

🗨️ Meu ID no GNU #Jami, o comunicador livre e distribuído (P2P), ou seja, que não depende de servidores intermediando as comunicações, é simplesmente daltux. Aliás, isso não é muito mais fácil que números telefônicos?

💡 Não dependa de mais ninguém além de quem quer conversar com você por texto, voz e vídeo, individualmente ou em grupo: para instalar Jami nas diversas plataformas para as quais está disponível, confira https://jami.net 📱💻🖥️📺

Já o tinha colocado em tornozeleiras eletrônicas de bolso (📴), mas, enfim, o instalei direito também no 💻️ #GNU/Linux. ⚠️ Deixo a dica: evitar pegar o Flatpak do Flathub por não ser mantido pelo próprio projeto e estar defasado. Há repositórios próprios de pacotes binários para várias distribuições, seguindo a documentação. O Snap também é oficial. Nesses casos, sim, funciona melhor. 🤙

⚖️ Jami segue a Licença Pública Geral GNU ( #GPLv3+ #Copyleft ) e o projeto é gerenciado em https://git.jami.net/ 🧑‍💻
