Any second-hand business class laptop that fits your budget, i.e. HP Elitebook/Probook/Zbook, Dell Inspiron/Latitude/XPS, or Lenovo Thinkpad.
Businesses tend to get rid of them after 4 years, even if they’re still in good condition. Great bang for your buck and easily repairable if something does end up breaking.
You’ll have to install Linux yourself, but generally support for older hardware is OK.
IMPORTANT: make sure the BIOS isn’t locked before buying.
Glad you all are back!

That and without an income source, you can’t pay content creators, so you can’t attract them to the platform in the first place. People dislike YouTube for running ads, but the ads are what pays for the videos.
In WordPress, one blog can have many authors, so it does make sense to consider it a group

Don’t really know about the US, sorry. eBay might be a good place though.

I think Hackernews (sans the occasional edgy political take) and Tildes might be worth learning from. Let’s make it a goal to contribute content that others may learn from and do away with the copy-paste doom-and-gloom comments.
So HN is quite heavily moderated (just turn on showdead if you want to see the graveyard), and Tildes tries to keep the community cohesive with their invite-only policy (limiting growth).
Lemmy, on the other hand, allows open sign-ups and does not have a strong (HN-like) moderation culture. If anything, it has more of a Reddit-like moderation style, with a bunch of separate communities ruled by their own mods.
Therefore, it remains to be seen whether appeals to the userbase will prove effective as Lemmy grows. Note that as Reddits userbase grew, the quality of the discourse went down, Eternal September-style.
There are, though, still a couple of big differences between Reddit and Lemmy. The latter probably won’t try to attract users by running big campaigns in mainstream media, like Reddit did in later years. On the other hand, there’s the risk that Meta’s Threads or other (future) big tech platforms might end up federating with Lemmy.
Here in the Netherlands my level of German is widely called “steenkolen Duits” (coal German) because it’s course, harsh, hard and dirty)
That’s actually not the etymology. Steenkolenduits (spelled without a space) is a riff on steenkolenengels, which was the basic/broken English spoken by dockworkers with sailors on incoming British coal ships (steenkolenboten).
AFAIK you don’t have to use it as a router. If you configure all the interfaces to LAN it should just act as a switch/AP combo.
I think OP is referring to NAT hairpinning though.
We’re still doing this toxicity in 2023? Really?
Hm, the community sidebar is in Dutch and English though, and I tried to create the post in English, so one would think it’s allowed.

Not anymore, right (if the announcement is to be believed)?
The instance list doesn’t show them as defederated either.
You really just need, like, a screwdriver set to get into most laptops. Maybe you can search online (e.g. on YouTube) for tutorials for your model. Then you can buy a replacement fan and also replace the thermal paste, because 13-year-old thermal paste surely isn’t doing you any favors in the performance department. Altogether it shouldn’t cost more than €50 (if you’re careful not to break any internals).
BTW, if you want to watch YouTube videos with less resources, you can also copy the video URL into VLC
