Same, it's super simple with Docker and you don't even need to fiddle with ports or anything. I should probably try running it at my work PC now that I think of it.. Anyway, duckduckgo has been good to me for all these years.

anzo OP ,

FOSS thrives in options, and that's just great. There's a compromise between security (i.e. anonymity) and convenience (i.e. speed). This tool focus on the security side. Meanwhile, seedboxes strike a good balance to both. That's the current scenario, there are many ways to share. That diversity provides resilience to the communities ;)

anzo ,

Expected. Iirc the Russian assets confiscated by EU were in the order of billions and not millions.

anzo ,

Ah, you're right. The news that I recall were about using the assets' revenue to fund Ukraine

anzo ,

RedditStreams changed domain, right? That's what I recall from a recent post at torrentfreak.com

PS. I love how that piece was written to share the important bits without directly linking to the websites' URL

I don't know if it's what you want but on Linux I had guiscrcpy to open my phone screen as a window and control it with my keyboard and mouse seamlessly. Nowadays I have switched to kdeconnect (there's gsconnect for gtk desktops environments)

anzo ,

No, but there are key steps in the installation process that are different. Guiscrcpy uses a binary blob, I'm unsure on how safe it is. Meanwhile, kdeconnect is open source and has many interesting features of their own. (Sending links to open a website between devices, using it in combination with openvpn, and so on..)

anzo ,

Depends on contents. Open source books exist. "The Carpentries" come to mind. Freecodecamp, Zines, etc too.

anzo ,

Winnie the Pooh, the obvious icon for all complex international relationships...

anzo ,

HTTP/2 is used by 35.3% of all the websites.

anzo ,

This is what OP looks for. It exists! Other repos only cover partially (e.g. either ollama or tts)

Self-hosted website for posting web novel/fiction

Hey hello, self-hosting noob here. I just want to know if anyone would know a good way to host my writing. Something akin to those webcomic sites, except for writing. Multiple stories with their own "sections" (?) and a chapter selection for each. Maybe a home page or profile page to just briefly detail myself or whatever, I...

anzo ,

This is good advice. Learn about markdown syntax, try Obsidian to write notes that can be interrelated in a network, add drawings, and export selected notes to HTML. You can further stylize all of them with some custom CSS. There are many "content management system" (CMS) like Obsidian does. I'd self host ghostwriter. But just search for a CMS on awesome self hosted list and find something popular that's akin to you for whatever features or underlying tech (e.g. Wagtail for django web devs)

Do you use the device you torrent on for personal things as well?

I'm just curious as I've permanently dedicated my laptop to torrenting. I've been too nervous to install anything but the VPN and Firefox on it. Now, I'm curious to mess around with Linux some more, which is what I use on it, but I can't fully test out what all I can do with it without signing into accounts....

anzo ,

How about installing RustDesk server con the laptop? Have you heard about Docker and self-hosting? That's a fun rollercoaster surrounded by rabbit holes ;P GL, HF.

anzo ,

Good use of acrylic. AFAIK you can't get such fluorescent colors with oils.

anzo ,

Can you name an example of such app? I thought you meant old adobe photoshop versions.

anzo ,

Been there, the issue I encountered is that most other apps would rely on active GPS and drain battery with it. Also, not many apps can access the GPS without a prompt, at least on xiaomi I had that... Maybe it's something to do with their OS customization... Anyway, Ideally you'd like to access in intervals and only wake GPS if other means (e.g. WLAN passive scan of surrounding SSIDs, like google services does) lack certain accuracy.

Many people struggle with usability. It's easy to set things up to get them started, and then you can showcase their use-case. Of course, they need to understand limitations (together with advantages, which you will showcase for sure). The issue is that you might end up providing long term support for them, and you can get tired of it. That's why is good to do this kind of things in community, I have participated in a hacklab and we wrote zines too. This also helped homogenize what we shared and supported, because everyone has their own taste and FLOSS is all about flavors (which is great, but also brings complications)

anzo ,

Oh, one more thing I deem relevant. I have seen many people break this rule: don't recommend software you never used. Go for stable apps that have been long established on whatever their use-case is. The bleeding edge (and hype) can be lethal to newcomers!

Discussion between fellow "expert" hackers about why the latest new distro bundling x, y, and z apps is so cool is one thing and should be differentiated from promoting the adoption of, say, Debian or MX Linux.

anzo ,

Aren't premiunize and realdebrid mentioned in the wiki? I heard of them so many times... Never used them tho. They should work with VPN, or so I thought. And you can pay with paysafecard to be safe about scammers.

anzo ,

There's also PhotoPrism which is nice. The comparison between the two is evolving with every release.

anzo ,

That's not entirely correct. PhotoPrism offers WebDAV and SAMBA protocols, and their docs state that clearly: https://docs.photoprism.app/user-guide/sync/mobile-devices/#other-apps Furthermore, you can always sync files to the server via other means (e.g. SyncThing).

anzo ,

videogist.co will come handy then

anzo ,

Yeah, AI has limits. Here's another one stepify.tech

anzo ,

There’s a reason why most providers don’t allow that feature anymore. It’s said that port forwarding is a security risk. Also, qBitTorrent works just fine without it.

anzo ,

This is the first time I enjoy a meme of this format / situation.

anzo ,

Another project that does a very similar thing is around for a couple of years already, uutils.github.io/coreutils/

anzo ,

Best IDE ever, help pages with references to statistics journal articles, and the most useful feature: pipe()

Why is Matrix mentioned more often than XMPP in self hosted forums?

I’m looking into hosting one of these for the first time. From my limited research, XMPP seems to win in every way, which makes me think I must be missing something. Matrix is almost always mentioned as the de-facto standard, but I rarely saw arguments why it is better than XMPP?...

anzo ,

Tinode and Snikket should be discussed too. They’re server and clients, built upon XMPP and including the many extensions, “XEPs” that an admin would want in order to give their users a modern experience.

anzo ,

True, but… First, they get way less data because most JavaScript was cleared out and that cuts tracking by 95% (just to put some figure). Secondly, the idea with those frontend is to have some control (e.g. recommendation algorithm is cleared, or you get to access content without an account, etc.) so, overall there are advantages. Of course, it’s a compromise situation.

anzo ,

Did you run the update grub command to “compile” the config? And make sure you’re using grub2

anzo ,

The default setting is probably showing the menu, up to a duration of some seconds, so that you can choose other OS (e.g. windows as dual boot). Then you probably need to edit a text file and run Update-Grube. Here’s an example set of instructions doing the exact opposite (turning off the hiding); hope it helps… askubuntu.com/a/1187104

Julia Evans has great articles on everything about Internet. Recently, she started to blog about git. I don’t think those are great for beginners but they are great quality. For beginners I would recommend other texts like Atlassian guides (the company behind bitbucket, alternative to GitHub), www.atlassian.com/git/tutorials or the Game ohmygit.org

anzo ,

Or Inkscape as an alternative to Adobe Illustrator/ Corel Draw/ vectorial design. (The KDE alt would be Karbon, I haven’t tried it tho.)

anzo ,

The most concerning e-waste of any renewable source is the chemicals within the battery!

anzo ,

My favorite piece of software, together with KeePass. I have been relying on 'em for over a decade probably!

anzo ,

Can you share what would be a concrete example of the risk taken by running a RM program with a memory leak or dangling pointers? I fail to see, by my own ignorance, the benefit of memory safety everywhere. But I do enjoy the rust rewrites of shell tools because of the ergonomics, speed, and new functionalities. I’m asking because the first thing you mentioned as a benefit was memory safety.
