Sorry, I was mistaken! Somehow you post in a different time zone than me and I miss your posts, when I go to the community then I see there is quite a lot, but you have the same problem as me that it’s mostly only you who is posting ^^.

We already had [email protected] but it’s not much happening there.

There are more issues like language and culture which might be bigger issues, but yeah money can fix some of them.

I think I would like to live in a different country every couple of years, to experience many different ones.

For now I lived in:

• Poland 11 years
• Germany 15 years
• Sweden 15 years
• South Korea 5 years

And the most surprising thing is how little real difference there is between them.

When a bridge works like the discord and the Signal and WhatsApp ones it’s amazing not to need to log in to those services anymore just to see if someone wrote something to you.

Sadly most of the bridges are either broken like the Facebook one or straight out don’t work like she KakaoTalk and WeeChat ones because the services remove capabilities which before made it possible in a hacky way.

I run it on Ubuntu and installed it with apt about 7 years ago and had zero problems, it updates itself when I run apt upgrade, it turns itself off for a couple of seconds and then it’s back up.

One cool thing is that I had no idea that this happened until I just read it on their blog even though me, my friends and family use Matrix extensively.

But all my friends who are on Matrix host their own servers because it’s quite easy, and my family uses my own server, only my brother uses a matrix.org account, but he doesn’t write much.

This is decentralization working as it’s supposed too, when enough participants are federated and not centralized.

On Lemmy the lemmy.world and the piefed.social instances are similar to matrix.org and I think all of them, including mastodon.social should close new registrations. I mean the flagship instances have their place in the beginning, but once they become so big they should be locked. The teams behind them can open another instance if they want to keep growing, but they should be run on a separate infrastructure to prevent bringing them down at the same time.

Yes instances can be defederated, but on a single user instance you get defederated because of what you did, not because of some other people did.

What do you mean have no reach? I’m on a single user instance and can write to any community on any instance I want.

I’m lucky enough that Linux is one of the half official OS which are allowed and half supported at work.

I’m even more lucky that IT isn’t tech savy enough to be able to do to the Linux installations what they do to Windows and Mac where they preinstalled some rootkits and don’t give you admin rights.

Therefore I’m a Linux enjoyer without involvement of IT. I need to fix all my problems myself and do security and backups myself, but that’s a price I’m more than willing to pay.

On my birthday I took my practical exam in motorcycling and got my drivers license and the first drive I did was 800 km from Germany to Poland on vacation with a friend who didn’t have a drivers license yet. My family already went there a couple of days earlier but I wanted to drive myself.

Is it designed by Hugo Boss?

Sometimes more often sometimes less, but on average 4-5 times a year.

That’s literally wrong 🤦🏼‍♂️

Let’s be precise, I as a Atheist doe’t believe that a god doesn’t exist, instead I say that until any evidence is presented it would be as silly for me to believe a god exists as it is for me to believe that unicorns exist.

To me it does matter because I can’t upload pictures to comments.

You are on Lemmy, I’m on PieFed

Why is your wife’s best friend in bed with you and her?

That’s a thing the Koreans do, putting beans on everything and in everything:

• ice cream https://stellanspice.com/patbingsoo/
• bread https://kimkimcooking.com/korean-sweet-red-bean-bread/
  Etc.

That is interesting, I just checked and your image is indeed hosted by PieFed itself and not by any external service like I assumed that the 3rd party apps would implement as a workaround.
