      I was curious and looked up the origins of ‘ham’. Apparently it originates from “ham-fisted” describing second-rate morse-code skills of telegraphists before radio was a thing

    I hate googling things and just being lead back to reddit… Where my account was permabanned for “Report Abuse”, something literally not even discussed in their TOS

    And they’re not every clear on if I’m allowed to use an alternate account, they just said “If you go onto another account and continue this misbehavior it’ll be banned”, which sounds like I’m allowed to use an alt, but… only if it plays by the rules, but else where I’m seeing that “Ban Evasion” is against the rules, so which is it Jim Jam?

      Reminds me of early days of Linux.

      You should ditch windows and switch to Linux! It has everything!

      What I can I do on it?

      You can compile your own kernel!

    Image Transcription:

    A one-panel XKCD-style comic with the title “The Self-Hoster” One character is seated at a computer, talking to a second character standing behind their chair. Character one says: “It took all weekend, but now that I have a Mastodon instance running in Docker behind a reverse proxy with cloud-provided media storage, I can enjoy interacting with a federated network of other users without compromising on privacy or content moderation.” Character two replies: “Cool, what kinds of topics does your network discuss?” Character one replies: “Our experiences self-hosting Mastodon instances, mostly.”
