He should just rename it to elon.social instead. That’s what I think of it nowadays and especially since the name change.

If you’re mainly gonna read pdfs, an ereader is probably too small to use comfortably.
Look into eink note taking devices instead. They’re basically similar to a kindle, but also usually have a wacom layer to use their pens to annotate pdfs. Also they’re usually bigger (at least letter format) which makes them way better for that stuff. Most support epubs too.
I used a reMarkable for some time. It has a cool homebrew community, since the creators are pretty open and just give you the root password. They also have their own sync apps and subscribtion stuff if you prefer that.
At least Sony and Boox have some similar devices. Some come with Android which might be handy for you.
Probably depends. There are some services which I know are rock solid and have never failed me when auto-updating in 2+ years now.
However you are right that it can cause issues. I forgot to mention monitoring totally. My bad. A service like uptime kuma is really worth having for that reason. For a few services that really saved me a few times tbh. I set it up to broadcast status changes to a telegram channel and a special mail inbox. But it can seemingly use any and all services under the sun.
If you only have a handful of services, manual updating is good for learning and can prevent problems by seeing them immediately. However once you have so many services that you can’t possibly update them all or have the motivation to, it’s better to let them auto-update and have a service like uptime kuma notifiy you if something goes wrong imo.
As with all things in the world, it’s matter of striking the right balance of tradeoffs.
I welcome this change actually. Now users can clearly see what others have been saying forever: If you don’t pay for the product, you ARE the product.
Seems people are already making great recommentations.
Personally I also use docker-compose, a WireGuard VPN and an Nginx-Server to proxy/ssl-terminate all my services to my VPN or the Internet.
Just host whatever you like/need. Something like Nextcloud is probably a solid start.
Btw, I have not seen it mentioned here, but awesome-Lists are a thing on github where people collect various gems for certain categories. Here is the one for self-hosting which I have used extensively and really like: https://github.com/awesome-selfhosted/awesome-selfhosted
Also, when you start hosting more than 2-3 services, keeping them up-to-date might become a hassle which you can forget. For docker-based hosting I’d recommend you setup watchtower, which can keep your servives up-to-date for you.
So does that mean, that this time DAN will come pre-installed?
I have personally been very happy with FreshRSS. Nowadays I use Nextcloud News (just a Nextcloud) app for it. So if you already have Nextcloud you don’t even need to selfhost something extra.
They both have WebApps. FreshRSS has a few themes to fit your taste and Nextcloud News will obviously follow your Nextcloud theming.
As far as apps go, FreshRSS has (probably) more than Nextcloud News. I personally like Feeder (only in PlayStore but worth it imo). For Nextcloud there is an App with the same name. Also good imo, but FreshRSS/Feeder has more customization options.
EDIT: Here is a nice list of a lot of Feed Readers: https://github.com/awesome-selfhosted/awesome-selfhosted#feed-readers
GrapheneOS does this by default as well.
Stupid guess: Maybe the changed mac is written to e.g. an EEPROM and it ran out of write cycles and bugged out then.
I feel you.
But considering that the majority of instances have already blocked threads, there would not be much of a fediverse to federate with anyway once/if they do.
Exact same lamo!
True!
