    Not really. As mentioned earlier, the screen size is too small to comfortably read manga on, and I don't feel comfortable using it for anything important because it's from China.

    Should I be saying the words out loud when doing Anki?

    I've been doing it since day one, but I fear that if I don't do it carefully enough, it might cripple my accent later on. Also, saying the words out loud kind of demotivates me from doing anki as it's a lot more work and gets stressful since I don't want to pick up bad speaking habits, so not saying words out loud would actually be a relief, but I want to do what is most optimal for learning.

    Best distro to turn my old laptop into a server?

    I have an old laptop that I want to turn into a server, but I want it to be as seamless as possible. I don't have any knowledge in web hosting, so I'll use whatever distribution makes it easiest. Also willing to venture outside of Linux territory to try those NAS-like operating systems. I just want things to work. I called it old, but the laptop in question actually has decent specs. I want to host a personal searx instance, a forum, nextcloud, and, well, I'd also like to run single-user fediverse instances but I heard that they're very hard to manage and update so I'm still not sure about that.

    Can the fediverse scale up indefinitely?

    The tech giants make enough money that they could keep on growing forever, from my understanding. But the fediverse? Sure the main instances that get enough funding are going to be okay, but what about the single-user instances 10 years from now on when there's a lot more content to download? Won't they go bankrupt just by trying to annex the big instances? And I have the impression that the lemmy giants are going to change over time: does that mean that 50 years from now on, the posts I'm posting here today might get lost in time because the instances that annex it will have shut down by then? I probably misunderstand how the fediverse works, but my worry is that the small instances won't be able to hold an ever-growing amount of data forever. I spoke in absolutes for the sake of readability, but I'm as in-the-dark as can be.
