USSEthernet, 1 year ago to selfhosted in Does anyone else harvest the magnets and platters from old drives as a monument to selfhosting history?

Both of my autistic kids love magents. I will pull them from old drives, car/pc speakers, or anything else that has them.

USSEthernet, 1 year ago to piracy in Visits to piracy websites have increased 12% in the past four years

People saw how successful Netflix was and wanted the same even though it was never going to happen. By doing this they’ve now made Netflix shit too.

USSEthernet, 1 year ago (edited 1 year ago) to piracy in Do you donate to FOSS projects?

Yes. I’ve donated multiple times to the Octoprint project because it’s free and an invaluable 3d printing tool. Speaking of this project, this dev is currently in dire need of donations. If you own a 3d printer and use this tool, consider donating. octoprint.org

Recently donated to Electronic Frontier Foundation because online privacy is under attack worldwide and I use privacy badger. eff.org

I’ve donated to signal a few times as well since it is my and my family’s primary messaging app. signal.org

I also live by a code that I don’t pirate indie games unless it’s for my younger son, who has an attention span of a goldfish so I don’t waste money buying him something he’ll play for 5 minutes (but leaves it open well past the 2 hour return window on steam) then never plays again. Or if that indie dev went exclusive only on a specific platform.

Nope, been browsing Lemmy since July 1 when I was no longer able to use RiF.
