Mastodon is a great platform. I have an account there, and I have been using it as a twitter replacement for several months. I have been using nostr for around two months. I have also read fairly deeply into how Mastodon and Nostr work. I think nostr is better. Here’s why....

I'm at a roulette table. I only bet on red. When I lose I triple my bet, when I win I restart. Is this a roulette strategy?

As a normal, boring user that does nothing special other than browse the internet and the occasional "casual coding" -- what am I supposed to do with 32GiB of ram?
Title. Besides setting tmpfs to use 10GiB of it to store downloads.

Is there a way to see user likes and dislikes on lemmy?
One of my many admirers just went through literally every single post or comment I’ve ever made to downvote. Is there a way to see who it is and save them from having to see my posts in the future?...

What are the pros and cons of modifying a Nintendo Switch?
Just found out the Switch I got a while back is a V1 model, meaning that it’s one of the Switches that’s able to be modified. I’m thinking of modifying it, but I’d like to know the upsides and issues first.

Many communities here are too empty, and if there are not enough people to make original threads maybe doing that for a while could help?

Don’t dox yourself btw. It’s the storytellers prerogative to take a bit of creative license.

XBPS has spoiled me - advice needed.
One of the few things that differentiates the major distros is the package manager. I’ve been running void on my laptop for the last 3 years and love it. XBPS is super fast and easy to use. It has never left me with a broken system either. That said, I’ve got the itch to switch....
