I figured I could simply upload them on our webserver, so here you go:

• Sound of the cleaned keyboard: https://quantentoast.de/ibm-model-m-cleaned.mp4
• Sound with tapemod applied (no very noticeable on the video): https://quantentoast.de/ibm-model-m-tapemod.mp4

Thank you

I can’t imagine the sound of a room with like 20 pupils, each hammering on such a keyboard.

I’ll do that! Question is where to post it. Lemmy doesn’t support videos.

I thought this would be visible with my link. Specifically shared the “show changes” Link but that doesn’t seem to work.

That one was really difficult and IMO the solution wasn’t the best possible move…

Nice, thanks for sharing! Mine looks like this atm:

• HS: Mainly Docker containers and VMs
• VPS: Wireguard to relay traffic (NAT) to the HS (SSL termination on HS)
• UPS in case of power outage
• Pi4 for backups within the local network. It also has a disk station for regular air gapped backup.
• Pi3 for off site backup
• Fire extinguisher nearby in case of emergency ^^

I get your point. Then, why not start your own instance with rules that you approve? I know, easier said than done, but that’s the nice thing about the Fediverse. Next to the general purpose instances, there are many “themed” ones with focus groups such as musicians, journalists and so on.

You lying to yourself or have unfounded expectations.

Nobody mentioned any expectations hm…

Everything on Mastodon is in plain text, there is no encryption, and servers get mirrored.

That’s 100% correct, and I think it’s important to explain that to non-techy users.

It’s only the login info that stays with the instance […]

Technically yes, but I’d cut the “only” because login info includes the users email. So in case of a raid or data breach, I’d like to know about it.

The entire point of why Mastodon was ever started was censor evertbody that has the wrong opinion. Twitter wouldn’t delete people because of what they believe, so Mastodon was developed to ban IP address so only approved speech could exist on the internet as far as they are concerned and can avoid ackniwledging the real world. A high number of people on there, especially the admins, live in cult

I don’t know what places on Mastodon you’ve visited, but that’s not the point of Mastodon or the Fediverse in general at all. But we don’t have to start a discussion about that since you seem to already have made up your mind about it.
