@aral Exactly! I like the view that tolerance shouldn't be an absolute ethical value but a social contract: if you don't subscribe to it as a fascist, then you don't have to benefit from it. I think Popper theorised it much better than I did, but that's the idea. 🤔

You nailed it @AuthorJMac ! 🖖

I must admit that I love the #MiniRack project of @geerlingguy : (more) affordable and (especially) portable #rack builds for #network, #homelab and whatever you think of … in 10 inches wide 🤓

The links below give an example of a minirack designed for low power consumption and powered by solar panels.

In short, a whole host of possibilities ! 🖖😜

@_elena I understand completely and it's precisely the moment when you decide (or not) to switch that interests me in particular. In what you share, you have a pragmatic and user-friendly approach to free software, which is a refreshing point of view : you have the will so you acquire the technical varnish (and not the other way round) 🤓

@aral Is it possible to have a screenshot ? I block every Meta DNS 😳

@_elena Bonjour Elena ! 🤓 As an aside, I'd be very interested in your feedback on the hosting and use of GoToSocial (after a little time of use) : I also have a VPS under YunoHost and I'm seriously considering migrating my (French) Mastodon account to GTS and any feedback is valuable. Thank you in advance ! 🖖

OK, I had some paperwork to do and I needed to find a simple way to join #PDF files together. #PDFarranger (frontend to pikepdf) just saved my a** 🥳

@aral My gosh, there's even a French keyboard (something that never normally happens). I need some feedback after a bit of use 🤓
