Previously had some good experience with this store selling refurbished hardware: https://www.computerstoreberlin.de/

Old DDR3 ECC is actually cheaper than regular DDR3 RAM, and it generally works with AMD CPUs (who unlike Intel don’t artificially restrict ECC support to their enterprise offerings).

But tbh, ECC is generally not needed and I wouldn’t bother designing a system around it. Use a file system with checksums and regularly scrub the drives and you should not have any major issues with random bit flips that ECC protects against.

A divorce could be seen as not a moral issue, but as bad for the kids for example.

No, typically you use the DNS server of the domain provider.

Hosting your own DNS server is possible, but if you don’t have a static IP address the other DNS servers will have no idea which server to ask when your IP changes, so in this specific scenario it wouldn’t work. And in general it isn’t really worth it as you get a DNS server with your domain included.

DynDNS short for dynamic DNS is what you want. But IPv6 only websites are unfortunately even in 2026 still not accessible by many people due to their ISP only supporting IPv4.

ionos.de has VPS for 1€/month, which are not that bad. Server locations are Spain or Germany afaik.

Was this something that came over after some migration?

This basically. Most of the European population descends from a more recent immigration wave from the middle east.

Well other than sending money and free laptops to a racist multi-millionaire and excusing it with a “big tent” approach when asked why the fuck they do that…

Have fun with the next round of enshittification then 🤷

XMPP and the Fediverse works just fine as far as I am concerned.

Is Matrix technically part of the fediverse? I noticed it does not appear on fedidb.com.

Depends on your definition of Fediverse, but I think most people would say no, even though it is a federated protocol.

On a related note, what is the active userbase size?

The company behind Matrix it is known to vastly inflate user-numbers for scamming investors, but a somewhat realistic estimate for the openly federated Matrix network is 200-300k MAU (as shared by the Element CEO when pressed on a realistic number).

Who is the developer/team and do they have an active presence on the fediverse?

It is mostly developed by Element / New Vector Inc., but they have a non-profit front with the Matrix Foundation.

You didn’t ask, but conceptually Matrix is closer to Bluesky than to the Fediverse. If you want a Fediverse equivalent for chat, look into XMPP/Jabber, which is based on an truly open standard and is democratically governed by an independent community organization.

Wero has always been about discuraging the European central bank from persuing the digital Euro project earnestly. The banks are perfectly fine depending on Visa and Mastercard as they just pass through the fees.

Because you usually don’t want to do automatic upgrades across major versions. There is a “latest” equivalent for each major version release though.

Install a newer Linux distro on it and run a Luanti server for the kids to play on.

I am not sure if Loops mirrors content like that, but probably not (since video content is much larger).

Mastodon for example does mirror images, but it only really lowers the bandwidth use from users on your instance, hence a single user instance causes the same miniscule one time download of the image as a single client connected to the original instance.

Overall if you want to help the Fediverse network with load balancing you need to take on additional users on your instance, with all the responsibilities that entails.

Single user instance are nice for other reason like data ownership and being able to decide your own defederation policies and such.

No, just the accounts are integrated, not the UI. It wouldn’t be a huge issue to add some basic webclient to the UI, but I don’t think anyone would use that when there are much better dedicated clients.

I have been experimentally hosting it a bit and it seems like nice software. But I kinda lack a usecase for it… which is I guess common for 3D printing stuff 😅

Funny how you first ignore Wikipedia when it doesn’t fit your propaganda story and now claim it as a source 😅

Let me introduce you to this.

Hey kiddo, stop listening to PRC propaganda 🤦

Threatening to attack and occupy their self-ruled neighbors is pretty much the textbook definition of imperialist 🤦
