I was going to add a lemmy and bluesky node but when I discovered they were only libtard echo chambers like the old Twitter was and anyone with opposing views wasn't welcome, I abandoned those projects because my take is the fediverse is about free speech and free speech has no value if you aren't allowed to disagree.

I don't know how well it would work on a tablet, but I've got a laptop with a touchscreen and it functions very well with Ubuntu-Mate.

Intel has been making CPUs with integrated GPUs for ages, i7-6700K with UHD630 graphics for example, the thing is they contain a very small number of shaders, etc, because there is only so much real-estate on a single die and these weren't really intended for gaming, just providing enough GPU for a basic display, watch videos, etc.

@aasatru @ALostInquirer @TheLugal I got kicked off of Farcebook three years ago for not going along with the Covid-19 Vax agenda. I started a friendica at that time because of all the fediverse software available at the time, it looked the most like facebook. My intent was to provide an alternative platform where you were free to say what you wanted.

Since that time I've also put up a Misskey, a Hubzilla, and a Mastodon. I personally don't like the micro-blogging format, thus I don't use Misskey or Mastodon much, just enough to make sure they are working. I prefer long format macroblogging because they make actual intelligent discussions possible (even if it is a capability people rarely use), where as microblogging isn't good for much beyond an occasional snarky remark.

Of the two macroblogging applications, friendica and hubzilla, I prefer friendica because it displays full photos by default and it also makes better use of a wide display (I have a 2560 x 1440 monitor) so I find it more readable.

I also like it's support for bbcode, which while not 100% complete is still better than most other platforms. The only downside to Friendica is that it is relatively resource intensive. Originally I had it on a six core 3.6 Ghz i7-3850 with 128GB of RAM, but it had a hard time keeping up and responsiveness wasn't great. Now it is running on a 4.4 Ghz 18 core 36 thread i9-10980xe (the machine will run at 4.8Ghz but not 100% stable) with 256GB of RAM.

Friendica is not that hard on the database however, averaging around 300 tps, and I've tested MariaDB and found it, on this hardware, to be capable of almost 14,000 tps, so not straining. Seems the PHP code is just not particularly efficient.

Hubzilla, in spite of supporting more protocols, is quite a bit less resource intensive, and Mastodon and Misskey are very resource light.

@TheLugal @ALostInquirer If you want an old facebook look, take a look at friendica. friendica.eskimo.com/

It is reliable, reasonably light weight, and has connectors for a number of protocols. I've been running one for a couple of years now. Very low maintenance compared to other social media software I am running. Feel free to check it out, hubzilla.eskimo.com/

@jbloggs777 @LifeLemons While it's true distributions tend to choose apparmor or selinux by default (apparmor in the case of debian derived OS's and selinux in the case of Redhat derived OS's), all four are actually supported by the kernel and most distros include all in their repositories it's just that those come installed by default.

You can limit what a given package has access to with kernel based security package profiles for packages like apparmor, selinux, smack or tomoyo. Someone with root access can change this but it can be helpful at preventing someone from gaining that access in the first place.

@eugenia @drascus I'm running 6.12.1, everything still works fine, so no indication of dropped support.

@anytimesoon I'm a bit at a loss then. I do have a Comcast router that is weird in that ARP only works at boot time so if I plug a new device into it, it won't route for that device unless I reboot it.

@anytimesoon With that different router, now try a traceroute 1.1.1.1, if you get a response from the first hop, 192.168.1.1, then something is wrong with the NAT on the router or your cable service or fiber or whatever it is, is not working.

Did you try to ping the router IP, 192.168.1.1 and see if it responded?
