I'm not sure how soon you need this, but if you can wait sipeed has a $20 kvm with ATX control that should be out soon https://lunar.computer/news/sipeed-announces-new-20-risc-v-kvm-device/

What was the reason?

Education is a good one. Fortunately at this stage in my life it's no longer an issue for me. I cannot think of anything else I would need google for. Never needed Google to dial emergency services as this is available on dumb phones as well as land lines. Public service apps just need an email of phone number, email I host myself.

One thing that should be discussed is major email providers shutting out self-hosters so that they only accept emails originating from one of the big tech companies. You can receive emails, but having them accepted by others is another story. I'm usually not in favor of heavy handed legislation, but this is an area I would have no issue with the feds interfering as this is essentially a way to create a monopoly.

At least they've published the source this time. They mentioned they're working now to get Triductor into mainline. Whether that happens or not remains to be seen.

If you're on 18.5 or under, I wouldn't recommend upgrading anyway as federation is currently broken on 19.0, 19.1

I agree it sucks but at least you have that option considering the nature of the Lemmy project.

There is none, except for server mirrors. But most admins don't bother with that. The ultimate solution is to host your own instance. You can do that because the source is available.

But what's the solution to investors dumping reddit, Elon running X into the ground, etc? Not only is there not one, but Reddit hasn't been open source for years, and the only thing that's been opened with X is its recommendation algorithm.

I have been running my own PT instance for about 3 years now. I only post videos of things that interest me, plus a videocast of a The Linux Lugcast podcast we do. I don't post video after video like that. It's very sporadic. PT is not YouTube, you will not find that level of engagement. If you are looking for lots of eyes on your content, PT is not the route to take. If you are interested in federation and want to move away from centralized platforms, it is good for that.

You didn't mention if you were joining an existing instance or hosting your own. That will determine whether your current PC is adequate or not.

Funkwhale is federated. I have discovered lots of good stuff on there via other servers. Not algorithmic, but once you find a server that appeals to you, there's a lot to dig into.
