Big city mandatory valet comes to my mind.

Sorry, but your questions are difficult to understand. Could you please clarify what you are researching? The fediverse isn’t some metaphysical thing.

What is your curiosity?

My lemmy.fan instance died. Something broke with federation and I’ve never been able to get it running again, even with a new database and a new subdomain. I gave up for now, at least until better error checking and recovery is implemented.

I would also take the features and integrity of the old mount into consideration. If it doesn’t articulate, for instance, or if it doesn’t have tilt adjust, then it might be worth upgrading the mount itself while it’s off the wall.

I would also check for smooth operation, cracks, bulges or dents, or severe corrosion (unlikely near a TV but you never know). If the mount shows any of these, recycle it and get a new one.

As the article mentions, keeping the TV on the wall successfully for the long haul is the ultimate goal here.

I’ve been using a pihole exclusively for years on my Ubiquiti network at home. Combined with Wireguard, it’s a stable, easy ad-blocking solution. I’ve never even considered moving from it, seeing how well pihole Just Works.

Amazing! I cannot wait.
