Pop!_OS. I have always loved System76 and have one of their laptops, as well as an HP Dev One that I use as a daily driver. The convenience and tiling system of the DE is the simplest I've used so far and works perfectly. I used to run Arch but I just don't want to deal with it anymore, honestly.

I usually pre-order PC games that come with a pre-order bonus on Steam because I can just refund it in two hours or playtime/2 weeks in library if it sucks. If it doesn't, well, I was going to buy it anyway. I know game prices are ridiculous now and I'm buying far less than I used to but being able to just refund it is a game-changer.

Check out Jellyfin when you're looking at your options for something like Plex. I love it.

Diablo 4! I find it oddly relaxing in my current state of mind. At first I was adamant about listening to the soundtrack and all the voice acting but I've found I enjoy it way more by just reading the story and listening to my own music.

I've got a necromancer and a sorcerer. Necromancer is incredibly easier, to the point I haven't touched the sorcerer since I made it. I will probably make another character soon, not sure what.

It's true, though. I am very guilty of it. I have gotten better at it but 100% of the time I'd click the comments first no matter what. If it seemed worthy of my attention I'd click the link. If it seemed too far-fetched I'd click the link.

I'm realizing now that it's mostly because I don't want to wait the 0.5 seconds for another page to load (ridiculous on my part) and possibly deal with paywalls.

For the federation, I will give my life!

Glad to be of help! Let me know your experience with it.

I ended up using shreddit, a Rust remake of an unmaintained Python script (https://github.com/x89/Shreddit). I had to keep running it over and over, but, I think that was the Reddit API's fault. If you end up using it, I recommend running it in a loop unless you want to keep running the same command over and over.

Anyway, it deleted all posts and comments, but messages in my inbox are still there. I'm fine with that for now but eventually want to clear that out I think.

If you're thinking of doing this I'd recommend running it before the API changes since the script uses it.

Thanks, I'll take a look around. Redact looks good but I'd rather something FOSS if I can find it. If I find anything I'll post here.

Any suggestions on tools to use?

Sort of related follow-up question to @[email protected] - it seems like it links directly to that specific instance. If we wanted to subscribe to a community in a different instance, is the easiest way to search https://lemm.ee/communities ?

Truly appreciate you setting this up. I do have a question and readily admit I have not looked elsewhere, but, since you may be offering to answer: could I set up a "private" instance for me and a few friends that closes registration but is open to the rest of the fediverse? I assume so since a lot of the main sites seem to be slowing registration down but I am just curious how it all works. Would be a fun experiment for me.

Also, how difficult is it to manage from a sysadmin point of view?
