Consider this: you post a link to one of your photos, hosted on your #Raspberry_Pi. All of your 100 contacts' servers try to simultaneously download your picture, bringing your network connection to a halt.
We're going to need to redesign a lot of these sites, so they don't move so much data, and the data they do move isn't all moved at the same time.
Ubuntu MATE 18.04 Beta 1 for #RaspberryPi is now available 🎉 Images for ARMv7 and ARMv8, accelerated @videolan@twitter.com VLC and ffmpeg plus many other optimisations and features.

@moonman I'm not doing much crowdfunding stuff these days (I still pay almost all online things with single-use Visa/MC gift cards after a bad experience with #PayPal), but I did recently order another #Raspberry_Pi competitor board.
I'm looking at dropping google and have seen two interesting projects, #freedombox and #syncloud, both of which seem to be #raspberrypi distros.
Interestingly, syncloud comes with a disapora pod. (Small instances like this could help solve their moderation issues, tbh) And freedombox comes with a GNU Social instance.
I'm wondering which of these is the most suited to a lazy admin in a fairly tech-phobic household?
@solderpunk The UK #raspberrypi in education guide suggests(?) four stages: first scratch, then python and pygame, then networked applications and GPIOs, and then the linux command line. I'm sure each teacher or school has its own approach. I like the idea of eventually teaching everything - see #nand2tetris - but it makes sense to teach in stages, and at stage real-world motivation.
About that #raspberrypi@solderpunk - I do see a connection with the #BBCmicro - it's a hands-on and very personal machine. Swap SD cards and you've swapped projects - no wrestling with applications co-existing. And it's not (just) a linux machine - can program at bare metal, can run RISC OS, even booting rapidly to a Basic prompt. And it has I/O. We can wait and see - but I'm optimistic! @ginsterbusch@clacke@noyoushutthefuckupdad
@netmackan Maybe you can just solder a large enough capacitor to the 5V rail on the #RaspberryPi and hope it handles the drop? Maybe a 5V "supercap" would be a enough. Welcome to theoretical !elektronik :]
