If The Wire and The Shield have taught me anything - it’s that all the stats are cooked.

Wireguard works best for private traffic, but you can’t host a public site with that.

Of course you can! Nginx and wireguard on a VPS and actual services wherever you want.

If you can dedicate some time to constant keep up - pick a rolling distro. Doing major version upgrades has never not had problems for me. Every major distro has one.

My choice is Gentoo, but I’m weird like that. Having said that - my email server has been running happily on Arch for just over 5 years now.

The lemmy instance I host is on Debian testing - Gentoo was not available on DO - no issues so far.

Even when it’s mostly containers - why waste time every n years doing the big upgrade? Small change is always safer.

Is this the repo of the tool?

Don’t really have anything to add, but wanted to boost the activity on this post.

A subscription for surge protection is fucking stupid - that’s insurance renamed; but you, OP, clearly do not understand how electricity works.

@[email protected] has already answered, but in general - you can see [de]federated instances at an <instance url>/instances. In my case that would be lemmy.cafe/instances

If not for an occasional comment like yours - I would never remember I’ve defederated them. Thanks!

That’s not what I meant.

Never had a chance to give syncthing a shot, but nextcloud works very well. On top of that, if you ever want to ditch apple/google - it will also happily sync your contacts, calendar, etc, as well as more niche stuff like bike rides. It can become chonky, but that really depends on how much stuff you’re asking it to do.

So… it’s a hack, but it’s not been hacked?

Come the fuck on, BBC, you can do better.

It’s kinda funny how we think the 100 watts of a desktop P4 was insane when now the TDP of a high end laptop CPU is more than that.

It really isn’t. Modern mobile cpus barely sip power.

Precision guesswork here, but I’ve had nginx (not on opnsense) redirecting me to the default host quite a few times recently - all times it was me cocking up its config. It could be that nginx is waiting for the actual target until it times out and then just gives a your opnsense gui as the most reasonable response.

I’d start checking its config. Or pasting it here, after removing secrets, it any.

The link does not load for some reason, but tar itself does not compress anything. Compression can (and usually is) applied afterwards, but that’s an additional integration that is not part of Tape ARchive, as such.

tar was nearly and adult when zip was born.

I’ll consider it. Need to manage the available resources a bit first.

I haven’t announced it, yet, but I’ve been testing ph.lemmy.cafe for some time now if that’s your cup of tea.

I think this is a legitimate email. What it’s saying is that your google password is compromised. Google blocked the login attempt for other reasons, but please change your password.

I’ve been occasionally giving Linux a shot since bubuntu 5.04 and it would never stick. I guess many things aligned at some point in 2017-18 when I just gave up on windows and microsoft in general. I’ve been sticking to my beloved gnome, fighting it to do things it wasn’t built to.

And then came 2019 and sway 1.0 got released. It felt like reddit imploded. Decided to finally give this “tiling nonsense” a try. A week or so later it finally clicked and I’ve not been fighting my system anymore.

Fast forward a few years and I’m now a Gentoo, OpenRC, OpenRC-init and Hyprland nutter :)

TIL!

Edit: actually - it will. Not the image itself, but the representation of it on any reasonable screen.
