Avatar is a lemming in bed because this account wasn’t intended to be used except for creating communities… and then my instance announced it was closing.

  • I don’t always, but when I do it’s mostly to do with character customisation. If I’m playing a game where my character is constantly visible I’d rather it was something I wanted to look at, and male clothing is boring. OK, some games don’t restrict clothes but many do. So I tend to create a character which is a female version of me, except in the cases where I prefer a male character (which isn’t often if I have the choice!)

    Platform Name: Mastodon

    • Accounts: Lots, Main one on oldbytes.space

    • Apps: Tusky

    • Uses: Mostly following retrocomputing folk, and running friendly bots.


    Platform Name: Lemmy

    • Accounts: This one is my main, a few bot accounts and others just for creating communities

    • Apps: Connect

    • Uses: You all know what this is! I also run a few posting bots


    Platform Name: Mbin

    • Accounts: Fedia.io

    • Apps: None, was testing Artemis until it went AWOL

    • Uses: Hosting a few communities still. Was my main Lemmyesque account but Kbin was horribly unreliable. Mbin seems much better but waiting for app support as I like Connect more than the mobile web interface.


    Platform Name: Bookwyrm

    • Accounts: wyrms.de

    • Apps: None

    • Uses: Logging and reviewing books I’ve read, keeping track of what is on my pile of books still to read.


    Platform Name: Takahē

    • Accounts: Technically one, but it supports multiple profiles

    • Apps: Tusky

    • Uses: Mostly testing, run a few minor accounts there because the multiple profiles feature is ace.


    Platform Name: Funkwhale

    • Accounts: One (can’t remember domain offhand)

    • Apps: None

    • Uses: My bots also post here, I’ve never managed to get federation working on it though.


    I think that’s it. I did have a PeerTube account but the instance it was on closed down, and I haven’t bothered to make a new one elsewhere.


  • I had to buy an adapter. I much prefer wired earphones, as somebody else commented, it’s much easier to switch wired ones between devices. With wireless you also have the issue of disconnecting them if you want audio through the phone speaker. I hate Bluetooth anyway.

    I also prefer the earphones which sit just in the ear, rather than the current style of ones that need to be forced inside. I don’t think you can get wireless earphones like that, probably because they would be lost easily. I like proper headphones too (so that’s an option for wireless), but they are quite bulky so not always convenient.









  • I use f2fs on my Raspberry Pis, it’s designed for flash storage and appears to have much better performance than ext4 on the same device. I’m not sure whether it’s suitable for SSDs, or just SD cards and USB (these devices are optimised for FAT and f2fs utilises that optimisation). When I tried to use f2fs on a proper laptop it was too early and the distro didn’t support booting from it. I assume that has changed now.

    As for the others, I usually stick with ext4 as I’ve never seen a compelling reason not to.
