You are. Lemmy is kinda the odd one out but mastodon/peertube/misskey/etc… all use activityhub to communicate.

Parts of the protocol for Lemmy kinda stopped working for Peertube stopped working 7ish months ago. And Lemmy treats posts/upvotes/down voted differently than the rest of the fediverse. Just some small changes to be aware of.

Hunting and pecking work. Also trying to do research on the actual chips on the hardware helps quite a bit.

In the case they put black blobs on their chips or rub everything off, you can go with throwing an oscilloscope and checking the readings coming in and out of the device. Ive had to do that a couple of times to make a “spec” out of chips that no longer have documentation.

Here is a great example: https://bookmanarchive.com/

Sometimes you get lucky and the company doesnt give a Fuck like wallmart and the kobos and the entire thing is the cheapest open source linux distro with next to open source hardware (because they couldnt be bothered).

I want the pine products but every time I see the reviews it seems like they are not the greatest at the more common tasks.

At some point I want to get an MST if/when my system76 dies. But it’s a easy to repair so it will probably be a while.
