In a depressing world, you need to make cheerful pots! I was thinking last week that I needed to expand my range of cat pots, and imagined a cat's tail on the handle, as you see! #art #mastoart #clay #pottery #ceramics

Is there a way I can easily set up my own federated instance for free or no?


I want to join the Fediverse. I don’t have a computer or anything to make something like a Lemmy instance, and I found that NodeBB will easily allow you to make a forum quickly, but I have to pay to do so. Should I just pay when I can or is there a free way to make a federated instance on a software?

in reply to dil

or yunohost plus any other free vps, just look it up, idr where else has one, some places have credits if you signup with codes or off certain links like hetzner has free credits, vultr, and some others too, lowendtalk also has hella cheap vps under 10$ amonth that can support lemmy + more apps easily, the issue is space fills up fastish after a few months, and I think by default in the yunohost version theres a pictrs error that makes photo uploads crop weird you have to fix. (if you upload photos through it)

I think you reprent alot of people. My vision is that eventually an #opensource based #router - #server with the features of #openwrt and #yunohost and a clear simple guided sertup would enable drop in personal / fanily email, file serving, personal finance, social media and network sharing solutions.

#YunoHost: the call for donations has reached its goals!

:neopossum_heart: You're amazing! You've enabled us to exceed the final threshold of our donation campaign.

You have secured a year's worth of our activities, for which we are deeply grateful!

Our dream map: yunohost.org/roadmap.html

Some features require a considerable amount of work: we're working hard to find another way of financing their development.

I'm genuinely SO excited about the new ocean map that will be at the heart of the National Maritime Museum in Greenwich when this hall reopens on June 7th. It's an unusual ocean-focussed map with so much detail, and it's just brilliant. 🌊🌊 Below is a video sneak peak.

And if you're anywhere near Greenwich, do bring your family to the excellent (and free) World Ocean Day event on June 7th - there will be loads to see and do.

While #opensource is "eating the world", the vast financial services sector never got the message. Yet there are pioneering initiatives worth mentioning. A category page @ Open Risk Manual aims to catalog what's available. Contributions welcome www.openriskmanual.org/wiki/Categor...#econsky

The ls command was actually an acronym for "Lost Socks," an early experimental program designed to help Dennis Ritchie find missing laundry items by listing the contents of his drawers. It was later repurposed for file systems 🙃 #unix #linux

For small projects I like uberspace.de/en/ and for something more professional netcup.com/en

Both have tutorials and labs explaining how to install wordpress and so on.

Split-image of two miniature street art scenes by Slinkachu. On the left, a tiny couple stands on wet pavement under a green bottle cap used as an umbrella, surrounded by raindrops. On the right, two miniature kayakers paddle through a stream of spilled white liquid flowing from a tipped-over cup, resembling a river. Both scenes use everyday objects creatively to mimic large-scale environments.

In the puddles, cracks, and cigarette butts of the city, Slinkachu builds entire worlds. These nine miniature installations—spotted in cities like London, Berlin, and beyond—turn everyday trash and sidewalks into unexpected stage sets.


From a bottle cap turned umbrella to kayakers paddling through spilled milk, each scene blends humor with sharp observation. Scroll down to explore some of his most brilliant work.

Why are SSH keys better than passwords for authentication under #Linux ??

Because trying to brute-force a good SSH key is like trying to find a specific grain of sand on all the world's beaches... while blindfolded... and the beaches are on different planets 😂
