It's just a computer. You can do whatever you need a computer for. Browse Lemmy on it. Play video games on it. Use it as a server. Make it run an ad video on the TV in your store window.

Whatever you need a PC for. If you don't need a PC for something, you don't need a Raspberry Pi.

The entire point of the Raspberry Pi was that it was a very very cheap PC, and it's no longer cheap, so nowadays there is definitely less reason to buy one.

    Any VPS provider just gives you an SSH IP and port. So that's the default state, until you do something else, which I imagine many don't, since key based authentication was always considered secure.

    So I don't know the reason, but that's the standard practice with most providers, like Digital Ocean or Linode or whatever. You can call them maniacs but you shouldn't be surprised at something so ubiquitous.

    Hmm, I'm at the server limit (in 50 Discords) and none of them were marked in that way. Some of them have NSFW channels that I can't access anymore, but I don't care about that.

    Maybe I'm in different kinds of communities.

    No, your emails are still sent from your providers servers and are signed by Proton/Tuta/Gmail/whatever you choose to use. Your domain is the from: field but it was sent by the actual email provider with all the trust behind it.

    I never ran into something requiring a Google/Apple address. Some may require a Google account, but you can create a Google account with any email address. You don't actually need to use Gmail on your Google account.

    The only reasonably future proof solution is to get your own domain, and redirect emails sent to @yourdomain.com to your email provider.

    Then you can freely change providers in the future but your email addresses stay the same. Doing that costs very little and doesn't require any self hosting, just buying a domain. Looks professional too.

    The idea, yes. But why is this website written by AI? I don't mean the code, write all the code with AI, sure, but why is all the text AI? Someone wants to start a movement and they can't even write a basic one page about it?

    How dedicated are they really if they can't say anything about it in their own words?

    Replace your text editor with AI, why not, but don't replace your own thinking. That's when it becomes mindless slop instead of a tool to bring your own ideas to life faster.
