Question to whoever here uses Mastodon and is technically-inclined:
How reasonable an idea is it to run your own mastodon instance for solo purposes? (eg. as one would run their own email server, or at least point a host's mx to their own domain)
How much would this cost, and is it possible to reliably secure an instance to run as a one-person federated instance easily?
I guess how much it costs would scale based on how many individual accounts follow the one account on the instance, yes?

Which buzzwords, used in marketing to techies, are the biggest turnoffs?
I'll start:
- Accelerate innovation
- Single pane of glass
- End-to-end
- Best practices
- The developer experience
There are valid reasons to use all of these, but 90% of the time... nope.
If I get enough response to this, I'm thinking of turning into a listicle of "N Buzzwords That Developers Hate."

I am looking to buy a new laptop soon because of the holiday deals.
I am looking for a laptop with:
-
high performance (most important)
-
high battery life (i dont mind carrying a charger around, but I would like not to).
-
does not overheat too much (not much of a problem since I will be living in basically a tundra for the next few months, but it might be a problem around summer).
My current laptop is a Macbook. I don't mind buying another one but I prefer Windows so I can game. My one problem with Windows is that every time I buy a Windows laptop, it gets slow as fuck for no reason after a month of use, which isn't a problem I've had with my Mac.
Cost isn't much of an issue. And feel free to get into the nerdy details. I don't know much about hardware and would like to learn.
Thanks!
EDIT: If you have any recs for cool accessories, let me know about those as well.
