Part of it is just the network effect. If the people they want to follow are on twitter then they do not really have a choice. Also part of it is the algorithms. For some needing to manually select communities or individuals is an inconvenience. Finally I feel like fedi communities have a very distinct atmosphere simply because very few people use it. This can all change in the future but the majority of the issues stem from just not having enough creators and users as well as the additional effort required to use these platforms.

I try to avoid it as much as possible since I think its a good habit. I don't have any issue with people who swear I just choose not to. It does become an issue occasionally since there just is not always good replacements for a lot of swear words meaning it can be difficult to express the emotion you are trying to say. I don't think there is anything wrong with choosing to do this but I still find it odd that we as a society just kinda accept that a certain set of words are special and can't always be said.

This article is ridiculous. It just says the theatrical cut is available on a pirate app on roku. The theatrical cut has been available in various forms to pirates for years now. It does not even mention which version of the theatrical cut was put in the app so it could just be a crappy laser disc copy that released 30 years ago.

Had a hard drive fail my main zfs array. First time I have experienced a disk failure so it was a bit worrying. Thankfully I had added an additional drive to expand the array so I was able to quickly rebuild to that drive. Currently shopping for a replacement. From now on I think I will keep a cold spare just in case this happens again. I just wish hard drives would stop increasing in price.

I have honestly been considering this but less for protection but more for preservation. I feel like the best way to capture what its like to live in the world of today is to just walk around and start recording mundane things. Sure this is much more prevalent than it used to be but oftentimes I find myself wishing I just had more photos of the places I used to frequent that are simply no longer in existance.

Also if you do go this route and are concerned about privacy and security you can get a cheap vps then setup a VPN (wireguard probably) on the vps and have your home server connect to that. Then you can forward the vps ports to the VPN IP of your home server. This means that you don't need to have port forwarding or even a dedicated IP at home and users don't get your home IP. Keep in mind you need a vps that is relatively close to your house to keep the latency down as this setup will add twice the latency between home and the vps to the connection.

Just an FYI getting a vps or dedicated server that is fast enough for Minecraft modpacks is going to be fairly expensive. It might be cheaper to get shared hosting for the MC server and a separate vps for the docker stuff.
