First Dolly, then Tim Curry :( we are losing too many legends too fast

This is the first genuinely operational littleFedi instance.

It has been online since 1st July, is single-user (just me), and runs on a Raspberry Pi Zero W powered by NetBSD, directly on its SD card.

It consumes just under 1W.

Its database is this size:

-rw------- 1 little wheel 109289472 Aug 26 15:14 littlefedi.db

That is, just a little over 100 MB. Yes, MB.

Its average CPU load is extremely low.

It is perfectly usable both from the web interface and from Mastodon API apps.

I have 401 followers and 169 followings, and it doesn't bat an eye.

I promise myself to use it more, and I will.

You don't need Big Tech to communicate with others.

You don't need an expensive data center to exist online.

Because we are people, and the bits are just extensions of our voice.

EDIT: littleFedi allows to transform posts into blog posts, having its own SSG (Static Site Generator). The one generated by this post is reachable by clicking here.

godspeed you wonderful human

Someone needs to get The Reaper a new claw machine, this one is clearly broken/rigged.

Dear Reaper Man: I appreciate your efforts to snag a particular 80-year-old --

"Robot beats Usain Bolt"
So?
'Hot air balloon ascends higher than Olympic high jumper Gale Lark'
'Submarine can stay underwater longer than Karen Fish of Guildford'
'Lawn mower cuts grass quicker than Herbie Vorr when he's on all fours nibbling'
It's a *robot*. False equivalence.

Afternoon!

I know that Elon Musk gets a lot of hate on here, but hear me out.

I think we could hate him more. We have the capacity, we all just need to put in a little more effort.

For the past almost a year, I’ve been building a fully working, 1:1 scale Tune Thumper Bike from Mario Kart World!

Full build video: https://youtu.be/vbM31wagyRg

The bike is fully functional. The cassette tape door is also a Nintendo switch 2 dock, so when you put the switch in and plug in hdmi to tv, it outputs without any other power source needed.

Specs:
~65mph top speed
~70lb
Fully functioning buttons, speakers, lights, antenna, nintendo switch 2 dock
wood, steel, and a ton of 3d printing

Hi blog writers: You don’t have to attach a unique image to every blog post, and you *certainly* don’t need to use #AI to generate an image for every blog post. You may think AI-generated images make your posts more attractive, but you are mistaken; they are doing the opposite: they make your posts more *repulsive* to a good number of potential readers. If I see an AI-generated image in the preview, I won’t click through to read your post, I won’t boost the post that mentions your post, and I certainly won’t read the rest of your blog.

Edit: I cataloged some places that offer free images you can use instead: https://sfba.social/@drahardja/117177553434931602

So @robinince wrote about @emf in the Big Issue and gave us a new tagline. #emfcamp
