Well, from a technical standpoint I am more prepared as an instance admin compared to Summer 2023. We’re running on powerful dedicated hardware after all.

Brighter than ever, thanks to Steam Deck and Microsoft’s general idiocy.

Germany’s user count is nice.

Let’s get normies aboard the Linux train by creating more distros with celebrity branding: imagine Taylor Switft Linux or BTS Linux.

Sopuli is hosted on Hetzner, so no problems whatsoever.

Perhaps the spammer got tired and many admins stepped up their game. As an instance admin I remember having to remove helluva many posts featuring Nicole. Hopefully anything like that will not happen again for a long time.

Got Pop OS with Nvidia’s driver packages and it worked like a charm. And of course updating can be done through the package manager. No problems whatsoever, at least for me.

Thanks for all the hard work!

Pies? Rather simple.

Sopuli’s there also! This sucks, but hopefully Anubis protects against Meta.

Wait until he discovers the Fediverse…

Dang it! Lemm.ee was formed in summer 2023 alongside the other instances that became the Lemmyverse’s biggest, sad to see it go. Thank you for everything!

This motivated me to donate 3 € per month. Not a big one but I am doing my part! I could also make a post at !meta@sopuli.xyz about the subject.

There’s WriteFreely for example. There’s also Plume, but looks like it’s not actively maintained anymore.

Thanks for showing me that, fixed!

He’s getting really well into the Linux and FOSS rabbit hole. And he’s also serving as a “celebrity role model” for people interested in switching to Linux. This can have lots of potential!
