At home I use two Toshiba MG09ACA18TE’s and they work like a charm. I’ve bought them at around US$20/TB and it was the best price/TB offer at that time.

At work we use Exos X18’s and Exos X20’s without any problem at all.

I hope it’s not the start of the decline of the Xperia 5 series.

wired.bluemarch.art runs on the cheapest Hetzner VPS, so €4.18 per month plus yearly domain cost. Right now there is only one active user on this instance so the price for an active user is a bit high, but I don’t really care because I would pay for a VPS even when I don’t run a Lemmy instance on it.

This method seems to not work reliably with Brother-HL-L2370DN-series printers right now. At least after a quick search I’ve found a bug report about an infinite loop problem in certain circumstances and sadly with my HL-L2372DN I was unable to print at all (infinite loop with occasional ! USB[0]: zero-size read error; CUPS 2.4.10 and ipp-usb 0.9.27).

For Brother HL-L2372DN it is possible to use Gutenprint with the supplied Generic PCL 6 Printer wide margin printer driver but two sided printing is quirky sometimes if you print odd number of pages.

Anyway, thanks for your post!

Debian with Docker containers works well for my needs.

I don’t think so. As I see it in the Lemmyverse there are threads without comments (image posts for example) but if there’s a topic with a question or where opinions can made you can find activity there.

Yeah, it’s not a million subscriber reddit community level activity, but it’s still activity.

I use Xfce on my computers except my Pi where I use Window Maker. Window Maker with its lower resource needs really helps when the Pi is used with resolutions over 1080p.

I think people sometime think they deserve the same experience on a different environment just because they are used to one behavior pattern. As more and more people sign up for a Fediverse instance there is a chance the number of people who thinks like that will increase.

For them I recommend to think twice before they become impatient. Fediverse is for people, by people. Who usually work on their instance in their free time.

As a conclude I would like to thank most of the Fediverse instance operators and users for what they are doing. Without them the Fediverse would be a deserted place.
