All of them. Let's make Danny DeVito the next Jeffrey Combs.

Glad my instance isn't either :)

Though it's pretty quiet with .world and quite a few others being down.

It's pretty great and mostly holds up.

How dare they not screw over their customers?

Gawd. Damned if you do, damned if you don't around here.

I'm pretty sure it's that Dwazoup bot (?) and they're just spraying out posts.

Is that the plugin that blocks the increasingly unfunny clock memes in c/ProgrammerHumor?

You've got a payphone you're trying to setup? That's awesome! I've always wanted something like that, but I would have to be able to make it actually work.

Currently I got hold of an old 1950's wall-mounted rotary phone and it's hooked to a Bluetooth adapter that makes it work via my cell phone.

The "Romulan Comfort Zone" sounds like a Romulan spa that's also a Romulan black site.

Only if it's the "no sugar added" BBQ sauce lol. Otherwise it's just spicy ketchup.

I think most people would refuse apple pie covered in ranch dressing, too.

I did phrase that poorly, lol, but I know people who probably would consider that a delicacy 🤮

 
 
 

I realize this is Raspberry Pi community, but considering the overlap, I hope Pi-adjacent is acceptable.

Looking at the Orange Pi Zero W2 for a project since it's available with a lot more RAM than the Pi ZeroW2 (1-4 GB vs 512 MB). I'm not doing anything complex with it (no GPIO, USB gadget, etc), and it'll basically just be a tiny server running Kiwix and possibly some light groupware and/or file share. Maybe even CodeServer if I go with the 4 GB model.

Essentially my requirements for it are:

  • Wifi AP support so devices can connect to it. Preferably AP+STA so it can also provide internet and PiHole services.
  • Runs a supported distro (e.g. not the one-and-done version from the manufacturer that's never updated)
  • Fairly stable
  • Supports 256 to 512 GB SD card

According to what I've read, Armbian seems to be the go-to distro for these boards. It also seems to be supported by DietPi.

I've got a handful of Pi Zero's (both 1 and 2) and they work well, but even with zram enabled, I'm limited by the 512 MB of memory, so these "fruit clone" ones are tempting. Anyone have hands-on experience with them? Is there a better distro besides Armbian? Should I just stick with Raspberry Pi and manage with the limited RAM?

 
 

As a general rule, I will never click a link unless it clearly states where it's taking me. Except I needed to see what the error meant, so I clicked open on it. Yay interstitial ads! 😠

 

Noticed yesterday that a post to a community on programming.dev wasn't getting any traction. Not even the single downvote every post gets. Same for a post to crazypeople. Looked at the communities on their respective home instances, and neither were there. So I pulled up the federation stats, and both were 6,000-ish behind and now that's up to 8,000-some on both.

We're getting posts from those instances but nothing from here seems to be making it to those instances for the last few days. Both seem to have stopped receiving content from us (which I also assume means votes/comments as well) since 9/27/2025 at 12:21 AM
