    Don’t run it on a raspberry pi, run it on the same computer you use to access the Google search you are happy to call “free”.

      I (rather obviously) am talking there about the Google search service, not a single query, as Google doesn’t disappear after a single query.

      I’m not sure what you’re pointing at though? Surely hosting Google search is more expensive than hosting Lemmy when you’re insinuating otherwise?

        You’ve got it backwards.

        How do I host Lemmy on my iPhone? How do I host it on a Library computer?

          You can host lemmy on an Android phone but not on an iPhone, which is pretty locked down - you’d have to convince Tim Cook to open the OS.

          You can install it fairly easily on a library computer as long as you get permission from the library. You can’t install things on computers you don’t have admin rights to; other examples of computers you can’t use to host Lemmy are an ATM on the street, a self checkout machine at the supermarket, or the cockpit computer of an Airbus A350.

            So I’d have to spend money on additional equipment, is what you’re saying.

            Which is not true of using Google.

            Get it yet?
