In this video, I install Pleroma on a literal ewaste Dell Optiplex 780 as a throwback to the days when cool nerds on Skype/Discord would set up "servers" under their bed or in their messy bedroom or closet to host game servers or files. This video also serves as a tutorial on how to get a single user Pleroma instance going with the least amount of money possible.
