Here’s a specific question:

A friend has an autistic son about age 11. One of his special interests is building his own computers from parts. But he’s just hit the upper limit of what he can figure out on his own.

Where would you look for support? Ideally like a computer hobbyist / maker / nerd who could consult with this child and help him along? Like a build-your-own-PC tutor?

Back in the day there were “computer clubs” like the famous Homebrew Computer Club. I’m not even sure if groups like that exist anymore. 🤷‍♂️

Thank you!

Gibt es in Österreich (am besten Wien) irgendeinen Verein/eine Organisation, die noch was mit älteren Computern anfangen kann?

Bitte nicht "PCsFürAlle" sagen, die installieren weiterhin nur Windows, soweit ich weiß, das ist sinnlos wegen Windows 11.

Falls wer was weiß, würde ich mich über Hinweise freuen!

ActivityPub and Diaspora Enabled

When we set up a new server for Hubzilla.org, we configured some new channels, including this one. Originally they were only available over Zot protocol, which meant that only Hubzilla and (streams) users could interact with these channels.

As of today, we have activated both ActivityPub and Diaspora for the @Hubzilla channel (info@hubzilla.org) and the @Hubzilla Support Forum (adminsforum@hubzilla.org).

This will allow people on other platforms to follow what is going on with the Hubzilla Project, as well as interact with the Support Forum regarding compatibility issues with other software.

Other channels, such as the Documentation Forum and Association Forum will remain Zot protocol only, since these are used almost exclusively by Hubzilla software users.

If you know someone outside of Hubzilla who is interested in our software, feel free to invite them to follow info@hubzilla.org. If we can get coverage by fediverse-related blogs & publications, and collaborate with other fediverse projects, that would benefit the project.

Thank you. Scott M. Stolz

I wish my big chunky work laptop would ever spin the fan down. Maybe it's because it's charging and that heats it up more than if it were on battery power? But I'm not going to plug and unplug my computer throughout the work day...

I even put it into "best power efficiency" mode in the system settings.

Probably some super heavy security bloatware running in the background
