I had to get a new number a couple of years ago. That “fixed” the issue for a long while.

I was able to get some cheap numbers on VOIP so now I give those out to businesses that require a phone number, so that I can kill them if the spam calls start up again. It helps quite a bit. I know some people also use Google Voice to emulate what im talking about.

Honestly, most people dont even call me anymore, they just txt or video call.

How many people do you want on it? If not so many manual registration might be the way.

I use it for coding templates. Like build a basic mvc crud then I’ll fill in the blanks.

None of the models are very good at the whole picture, but they save me time. I’ve tried to do more but it just lies about libraries that dont exist.

Neither, deleted my 13+ year account.

You may like the book “the perfect run”. It’s on royal road.

It goes over quite a few scenarios like what you are talking about about. Plays out like a hero story though.

I bought an ouya. I remember just about everything sucked. It’s the thing that came into mind.

Hackaday is pretty good

Theres quite a few on [email protected]. Check it out

I have a couple of hundred RSS feeds. It has worked well past 15+ years.

The internet comes to me rather than the other way around.

Some RSS feeds that are fun:

https://questionablecontent.net/ - very long running comic.

https://hackaday.com/

https://www.kevinandkell.com/ - one of the most consistent oldest webcomic.

Royal road also has RSS feed support.

What I use: https://freshrss.org/ it’s kinda like Google reader back in the day.

Yes I have a couple friends that can’t live without it, so we have had convos. It’s better to go to Walmart and get the very cheap stuff, but your going to die without it…

Remember your local community is one of the most valuable resources. Get to know your neighbors, invest in your social capital.

I remember coming across post in a /r/collapse on reddit that poked fun at a lot of peoples plans. He stated he was in a war torn country and found a lot of plans revolve around personal survivorship instead of community based. And the immediate local community is the one that most people fall back on and the one that often times helps out the most.

I’m hesitant to recommend but https://fed.brid.gy/ makes feeds from websites that may or may not have RSS feeds. It works well with Tumblr for example.

One thing is that kbin/mbin/piefed/etc…etc… interact with lemmy all the time. Its getting a bit hazy if “lemmy” the platform is growing or if the entirety of the fediverse is growing and others are communicating with the software. We are now seeing quite a few accounts from all over the web interacting with lemmy communities. Is that a new “user” according to the stats? Or is that person a one off from mastodon?

What I a seeing is a general increase in discussion on the platform and increase in posts from all over the fediverse. Which is awesome!

2 in my local area. It’s how I found out about it. We have been slowly growing the community.

sure

California could just not pay the US gov that much easily. They get MUCH more from Cali than Cali gets from them…I hope it doesnt come to that though.

I personally think that as long as our data has value to someone it will stay. Unfortunately(?) I think a vast majority of it will go the way of the void.

Space has cost.

Ironically that means platforms that cannot produce value from old messages will probably delete them. All these bytes are on storage media that probably wont last 10 years let alone 100+. Also never mind that the data itself will have to be on a media that other systems can use…so the html of today may not be used in 50 years or so, so reduces its value further. “Value” is subjective, but for most commercial platforms, its literally the amount of $$ they can get for the data. As soon as the data reaches 0$, it gets deleted. And as things get older and people die, these messages/data/etc… get lost, deleted, corrupted, or incompatible with the technology of the day.

But short term, everyone is pulling our data because it has a VERY high value. So dont say anything on the internet you would not want your parents finding out :)

I do like how it “looks” the most on topics. I wish mastodon had something similar revolving around their posts/hashtags.

I got everything but the image support working without any real effort. Just pip install toot.
