You can blow out a candle

but you can't blow out a fire.

Once the flames begin to catch

the wind will blow it higher.

.... And the eyes of the world are watching now.

They are the last lyrics of Biko, by Peter Gabriel. The way he sings those lyrics as the song builds toward the end hits me every time I hear it. The last line is sung after a slight pause, and it sounds like a veiled threat to the leaders of South Africa that killed Stephen Biko. Also, it didn't take a long time for change to happen in South Africa after the event, but when he wrote the song it was still several years away. So at the time it was still wishful thinking that "the wind would blow the flames higher".

I ran a few things on an Odroid for years, which is like a Pi, and I wanted to upgrade. I shopped for an SBC with more RAM and found the prices getting high pretty quickly. I went with a mini PC made by Beelink- and have been very happy. There are many price points, based on RAM and drive: https://www.amazon.com/s?k=bee+link+pc

Aside from getting much more memory and storage for your money, I much prefer this hardware over an SBC because I can use any normal distro. With the Odroid I was stuck with the distros provided by the vendor.

Can you mention the community name? I would actually be interested in a community that shows just highly upvoted, as opposed to everything.

Bob and Doug Mackenzie thought me to roughly convert C to F by taking the temperature in Celsius, doubling it and then adding 30. It gets you in the ballpark.

I was using one of the various publicly-hosted teddit sites (like https://teddit.privacytools.io/, which is currently rate-limited). It is pretty easy to import your Reddit subscriptions into one of these instances and have it show just your normal subscription content. You can't comment, but it was nice for lurking while Lemmy content was still coming up to speed.

I was able to easily launch a Teddit instance on my Linux server yesterday for my own usage using the Docker instructions on this site. It's not rate limited because I'm the only person using it.

https://codeberg.org/teddit/teddit

I just saved that example into a file called "teddit.yml", and made the changes that they mention for non production usage:

Change ports: - "127.0.0.1:8080:8080" to ports: - "8080:8080" Remove DOMAIN=teddit.net, USE_HELMET=true, USE_HELMET_HSTS=true, TRUST_PROXY=true

Then I just ran this command and I can use it on my home network.

sudo docker-compose -f ~/docker/compose/teddit.yml up -d

I just access it with a browser at http://192.168.1.6:8080

For getting your Reddit subscriptions loaded into it, there is a trick to get a text list of your list of Reddit subscriptions, which you then just paste into a .json file and import into any teddit instance from the webpage. See the bottom of this post.

The .json file just contains this, with your list of subscriptions in a comma-separated string with double quotes: {"subbed_subreddits":["AskReddit","LifeProTips","Music"],"theme":"dark","flairs":"true","nsfw_enabled":"true","highlight_controversial":"true","post_media_max_height":"medium","collapse_child_comments":"false","show_upvoted_percentage":"true","show_upvotes":"true","videos_muted":"true","domain_twitter":"","domain_youtube":"","domain_instagram":"undefined","domain_quora":"","domain_imgur":"","prefer_frontpage":"true","show_large_gallery_images":"false","default_comment_sort":"best"}

----------- Downloading your Reddit subscriptions as a text string ---------

1.) Visit this site in a desktop browser while logged into your account: https://www.reddit.com/subreddits

2.) Paste this into the address bar, but don't press enter yet.

javascript:$('body').replaceWith(''+$('.subscription-box').find('li').find('a.title').map((_, d) => $(d).text()).get().join("\",\"")+'');javascript.void()

{I'm not sure if the formatting of that command always displays properly on Lemmy or your app. The part in the join() section is: doublequote backslash doublequote comma backslash doublequote doublequote}

3.) You might have to manually type the "javascript" text at the beginning of that command in the address bar because I found that Windows or the browser ignores that part when you paste.

4.) Press enter, and you should get a text list of your subscriptions displayed in your browser that you can copy and paste into any text document, like the above-mentioned.json file. Just manually add a leading and trailing double quote to make it work with that teddit.json format.

That's an interesting website. I didn't realize there were do many predictions websites that an aggregate website was possible.
