#AskFedi #AskFediverse Because of poor videoconference performance throughout the day at home, I'm looking to replace my Wi-Fi router. The last time I bought one was in 2012 and I went for an Apple Airport Extreme as I had no reason to doubt the Apple ecosystem at the time.
Right now the AirPort Extreme has been discontinued and there are a dizzying array of new Wi-Fi features I have to take in quickly. 6GHz, Mesh, Wi-Fi 6E, Wi-Fi 7? I just want to ensure a strong signal throughout a Brooklyn apartment and maybe have a PiHole somewhere in between the Internet and my home network. Do you have any pointers?
PCMag tells me the TP-Link Archer AXE75 could cheaply fit the bill, anything I should be on the lookout for regarding budget models?
As of today at 1:11pm EDT, I'm on the market for a 50" Mini-LED/OLED dumb TV in the US. I remember a while back that people were talking about commercial displays or hospitality displays to avoid the built-in spyware of "Smart" TVs, but in 2026, both of these also seem to have built-in spyware (although business-oriented). I just need 3 HDMI + RCA inputs, and an Optical Audio output, don't need any software on the TV itself.
Do you have any pointer? Or should I just take the L and get any smart TV, never set up network and hope for the best?
#AskFedi #AskFediverse Iām trying to find the name of a video game I played on PC before 2012 where you build a heaven/hell/purgatory city for dearly departed in isometric view, and guano (from birds of paradise?) was a game mechanics requiring maintenance or covered buildings would stop working.
None of my searches on Moby Games have yielded anything and Iām starting to believe I entirely made up this game in my mind.
Trunk is an opt-in directory of people on Mastodon and the Fediverse looking for followers, organised into a large range of topics:
https://communitywiki.org/trunk
Anyone can ask to be added, and the admins of Trunk check the account (to screen out spam etc) and add them.
However, due to the need to check the contents of accounts, this Trunk only includes people who post mainly in English. It means they have to turn away a lot of non-English accounts.
The Trunk admins want to fix this situation.
Do you use a language other than English? Do you want to help make a version of Trunk in your own language?
The English Trunk admins can help you with the technical side, but they need people who speak other languages to moderate Trunks in those other languages.
ā”ļø Can you help? If so, get in touch with @kensanata who leads the Trunk project.
(There is a Spanish Trunk at https://trunkesp.chilemasto.casa but so far no other languages.)

I am looking for something that is easy to use for non-tech people, self-hosted and free-software. Preferably something like discord but ethical.

I'm looking for an e-mail archiving software with following specs:
- free (as in freedom) if possible
- archived e-mails should be indexed
- support for various e-mail formats (mbox, pst, eml(x), ...)
- portable or server-side does not matter
- index searchable
- e-mails should be readable from within the software (or web interface, or whatever)
- like Mailstore, but NOT Mailstore
- NO internet connection available!!
Boosts appreciated!
