    Speaking of #crystal-lang, it requires an already existing installation to compile itself, so that is not going on the #Orange_Pi. As far as I can see, there’s not a public release in AArch64 elf format to use for compilation.

    If you use #invidious, be aware that they have received a legal threat from #youtube. FYI, the source code is at https://github.com/iv-org/invidious and at https://gitea.invidious.io/iv-org

    I have long suspected that the PeerTube model was better. Make “the main show” independently hosted content, and then if you want, you can bridge to youtube as a side show. I think it is and was totally predictable that lawyer letters would eventually come to Invidious. If you’re not dependent upon accessing videos from YT, you can shut that down if necessary without losing the reason your video site exists.

    Thor from #Norway was talking about his tight financial situation and the costs of operating his #Mastodon instance being too high for him. Someone suggested that he make his members aware of the situation. There's no guarantee they'll fund it, but they may.

    I know he's uncomfortable with #e-begging, but it doesn't have to be #Wikipedia level annoying, just enough to let them know the situation and the option to keep it going via member support.

    1. The Iron Sheik
      Hossein Khosrow Ali Vaziri (Persian: حسین خسرو علی وزیری, romanized: Hossein Xosrô 'Ali Vaziri; March 15, 1942 – June 7, 2023), better known by his ring name The Iron Sheik, was an Iranian-American professional wrestler, amateur wrestler, and actor. He was the only Iranian champion in WWE history, having won the WWF World Heavyweight Championship in 1983. This villainous character peaked during the 1980s WWF wrestling boom and his rivalry with Hulk Hogan turned Hogan into one of the greatest television heroes of the decade. He later formed a tag team with Nikolai Volkoff, which won the WWF Tag Team Championship at the inaugural WrestleMania event. In 2005, he was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame. A heel throughout the 1980s, Sheik later gained popularity on Kidd Chris, The Howard Stern Show, and the Internet due to his shoot interviews, vulgar language, and apparent intense dislike for some of his fellow professional wrestlers, particularly Hogan and Brian Blair; however, the true nature of his relationship with Hogan has been a subject of debate. ...

    1. Asilidae
      The Asilidae are the robber fly family, also called assassin flies. They are powerfully built, bristly flies with a short, stout proboscis enclosing the sharp, sucking hypopharynx. The name "robber flies" reflects their expert predatory habits; they feed mainly or exclusively on other insects and, as a rule, they wait in ambush and catch their prey in flight. Overview The Asilidae are a family in the order Diptera, the true flies. The common name for members of the family is the robber flies. The Asilidae are cosmopolitan, with over 7000 described species. Latreille was the authority for establishing the family in 1802. The Asilidae, together with Bombyliidae and Therevidae, are the most representative families of the superfamily of Asiloidea and they form one of the most characteristic groups of the lower Brachycera. Robber flies have stout, spiny legs and three simple eyes (ocelli) in a characteristic depression on the tops of their head between their two large compound eyes. They also have a usually dense moustache of stiff bristles on the face; this is called...
