Prebuilt like a traditional server? I personally use an orange pi and it's pretty good. Just make sure to use the open source arm OS.

Honestly this is valid. I wouldn't take this immediately. I would wait a few years to see if there are any side effects, too much money to be made.

Senate passes TikTok ban bill, sending it to Biden, who has already committed to signing it in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

It's because TikTok needs to be under better control for the upcoming election and in the future. We already know big tech all work in concert to conceal topics for the US.
