What's a good domain registrar to use? I'm currently on Namecheap right now which is fine but I kind of want to save some money on my renewals due this month. Porkbun looks good so far. Any other suggestions?

Open question for anyone with insight...

How are open source / local LLMs (like Ollama, OpenClaw, or llama.cpp) affecting life for average workers in China? Are people running local models anywhere? Or are they just using Chinese cloud services?

I'm curious if "uncensored models" from outside China are being used at all, or, does China have its own culture of clandestine abliteration? Xiexie in advance.

Is anyone aware of a Hugo like (or a Hugo template) that creates an #indieweb compatible static #website or #blog ? I'm not a web developer and editing html templates by hand is something I'd like to avoid... Any ideas? #askTheFediverse

@clickhere God no! It’s all so helpful! I can’t tell you how much it’s speeding up the process. I’m going to #askthefediverse first every time now!

I’m expanding my presence in the Fediverse!
You can now find my humble travel photos on Pixelfed:

Quick question though:
I’m still getting my head around how Fediverse connections work. When I visit my Pixelfed profile via Mastodon, I don’t see the photos, so I don't really see the point of this connection.
Am I missing something? 🤔

I remember a long time ago taking an aptitude test to sort out what career path I might choose.
The results indicated that music instructor or minister were likely to be the most fruitful paths for me.
Back then I couldn't read music, and I was an atheist, so I remained adrift.
Now that I still can't read music -- but love it in just about all of its forms -- and am willing to consider myself an agnostic, should I consider becoming a televangelist?
I even have a name picked out: The Reverend Oral Anal. (For those who remember Oral Roberts.)

Weird question for the fedi to answer:

Partner and I are thinking of making some 'platforms' for the patio to replace the current rotting ones. She came up with the idea that instead of 100% wood, which would make them as heavy and difficult to move for cleaning as the old ones, we could maybe use chicken wire in a sturdy frame. This will

a) make it lighter
b) easy to move & clean under
c) allow for water filtration
d) cheaper to make maybe?

My only concern is whether chicken wire can support the weight of peeps + patio furniture, plants and worm bin. My thinking is that smaller frames will allow for more even weight distribution, but I am not an engineer.

Question: would several roughly 0.5meter x 0.5 meter wood frames (maybe cedar) with chicken wire at its center, fulfill these requirements? Should I go smaller?

Oh, we would also put some of those ikea wood tiles on top for good measure.

More details: it is a patio on a roof, so there is torch underneath. It also rains a lot here.

For much of my young life, I used centralized platforms, for-profit platforms, etc.

I am trying to change all of that except my love for the Apple ecosystem of course.

What are the best open-source and private platforms I can switch to in general? What do people randomly recommend? #FOSS #OpenSource #NonProfit #Recommendations #AskMastodon #AskFediverse #AskTheFediverse

Since uBO is now blocked on Chrome, and Firefox has an uncertain future(??), I would like browser recommendations, pls.

Something with container tabs or equivalent, and add-on support. Even if your choice doesn't have it, I would like to know your thoughts!

Pre-answers to help along:
- General use case
- Threat model (and friends) need not apply
- I am not a researcher
- I am not a creator

Any input is welcome.

I thought I could have a #askTheFediverse #brainstorming exercise, feel free to jump in or boost.
My new task at hand: Create a visualization tool representing the state of a system throughout a time period. Something like hovering or clicking over the timeline should show a pop up window with a diagram of said system with boxes drawn around the active parts at the point in time.
Developer Background: #C #Cpp
Proposed Framework: #Qt
Ideas? Alternatives? links to resources? All welcome 😀

#UnofficialMirror profiles are really annoying me when I'm searching for accounts to follow, particularly accounts I liked to follow on the bird site. There seem to be loads of them, ie several for each well known Twit account I follow(ed). Should they be reported or is there a place for them? Genuinely interested. #AskTheFediverse #Fediverse #Technical
