Omg I forgot Hugh Jeffreys was a thing. Haven't watched him in about 4 years!

Interesting. I very briefly ran a test Lemmy instance off a raspberry pi I had laying around, but shut it down because I was worried about having an open port on my network and exposing my IP to the world. Then I tried to run an actual Lemmy instance on a proper VPS and ironically had more issues with that than running it at home!
What on earth is your instance name?
I tried to sign up for a Facebook account (hate it, but market place seemed like my only option for something I was after) and had my account automatically banned on creation. Twice. They demanded photos of my face, which I begrudgingly gave them, and still never approved my account.
I signed up for a new one with the exact same information from my mobile data plan instead and it worked fine, and I never got banned
Unfortunately most banks in my area don't offer cheques on personal accounts anymore. You can still cash them, but my bank hasn't offered cheque books on personal accounts in a good few years (and I think that's the same case for other banks in my area, too)
Likewise.
It's also only just now dawning on me /bin is short for /binaries. I always thought it was like... A bin. like a junk drawer hidden in a cupboard
I've been on the fediverse for over a year dude, but people from Mastodon don't generally end up on /all thankfully, so I don't generally have to deal with it.
Oh. Fair enough. I always forget Mastodonians are allowed to interact with Lemmy from Masto
For any Mastodonians wondering why I asked, this is how it looks from Lemmy:
#Why #are #we #doing #hashtags #on #lemmy #now?
One helpful thing I found is that it can skip "non music sections", ie those cringey silent scenes they put in YouTube videos. If that'd existed a couple of years ago, I probably wouldn't have switched to Spotify. I mainly switched because I was sick of random 10 second pauses for dramatic effect in the middle of songs, often right before the chorus

I paid $1.80 for my first domain (which was a .lol TLD, a little obscure but worked for me). It's now renewing at $26, though. The more well known ones are a fair bit more expensive though, and rarely have introductory sales. There are a lot of random weird domains nobody's ever heard of that only renew for a few bucks a year on going though.
It wouldn't work for a Lemmy instance, unless you don't mind changing instances every year, but you could theoretically get domains for less than a dollar for at least a few decades by constantly changing domains every time you're due for a renewal, to make the most of the introductory discounts lots of them have
