I am starting to get frustrated with lemmy.world. The downtime and stability was one thing but now they cloudf****ed it, the stability has not significantly improved and cloud flare can now see everything we do here. Once there is account migration I plan on self hosting an instance.




I used it on an Apple M1 Macbook Air 2020. https://arvanta.net/alpine/install-alpine-m1/ It worked mostly ok but I ended up going back to archlinux on that machine because the graphics driver was not packaged for alpine.



Alpine Linux. I use it on all my computer and servers. I also maintain a few packages for it.


Yes, this bookmarklet javascript:(function () { var newLocation = function () { var url; Array.prototype.slice.call(document.getElementsByTagName('link')).forEach(function (element) { if (element.getAttribute('type') === 'application/rss+xml') { console.log('Found direct feed link'); url = element.getAttribute('href'); } }); if (!url) { Array.prototype.slice.call(document.getElementsByTagName('meta')).forEach(function (element) { if (element.getAttribute('itemprop') === 'channelId') { console.log('Found channel ID'); url = 'https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=' + element.getAttribute('content'); } }); } return url; }(); if (newLocation === undefined) { console.log('Could not find a channel RSS feed from ' + location.href); } else { location.href = newLocation; } })(); Will convert a youtube channel page to a rss feed. I watch the videos using photon and mpv but that is probably too advanced for your kid but a simpler app might work.


I use a Password manager and only have free software on main laptop computer. Fake emails, phone numbers, names wherever possible. Noscript in firefox based browsers. Self hosting services at home. For services I do not want my identity attached to shuf -n1 /usr/share/dict/words for usernames. I avoid all non-fediverse social media platforms with no free front end whenever possible. I use rss feeds and mpv for playing youtube videos. I use libredirect with free software frontends. I do not run proprietary software on my main laptop, I use a second laptop, a virtual machine or don’t run the software (for example when I need to use zoom I might run it on a second laptop and use a capture card.). I seperate different online activities with different browsers with different firefox colorways to prevent confusion (for example Firefox ESR for normal personal browsing, Normal firefox for vpn browsing, Firefox Dev Edition for school and college).
