hi there

he/they, 19, musician, huge freaking tech nerd with bees in my headmy other socials~

  • Cloudflare or Tailscale?

    Jump

  • Something like 10TB. I’m an incredibly heavy user and I’d have to quadruple all of my usage, including home, to hit it.

  • This Week in Plasma: Per-Screen Virtual Desktops and Wayland Session Restore

    Jump

  • Yep, it’s one of the biggest things I miss when going from Mac to either Linux or Winbloats. Might confuse people who aren’t used to it, but I use it so much it feels very weird when the workspace is shared across all screens

  • On KDE, kwin Window Rules will allow you to force windows onto screens, and a ton of other stuff. It’s one of the best features on Plasma that I now miss on Windows

    You can just force it forever, or do “apply initially” so it just starts in a particular configuration - size, position, screen, virtual desktop, etc.

chromium-browser --enable-blink-features=MiddleClickAutoscroll

    Works on anything Chromium, including Electron shitware like Discord

  • Meta Is Using The Linux Scheduler Designed For Valve's Steam Deck On Its Servers

  • Contribution is a strong word for React, I prefer “eternal damnation”, as in Meta has eternally damned us all to use the abominable React.

  • Hosting your own authenticated, secure, NextDNS-style DNS filter accessible over the internet with Caddy and AdGuard Home

    Jump

  • They’re not selfhosted, and are commercial. While they’re okay now they can rug pull at any moment, it’s nice to have alternatives ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

  • Selfhosted @lemmy.world

  • Pihole vs AdGuard Home

    Jump

  • It can also run directly on lower powered machines. GL.iNet routers are a good example, they’re based on OpenWrt and come with AdGuard Home support out of the box, so no need for a whole external computer to handle DNS stuff. Sure it’s limited by ram about how many lists you can have, but still. Pihole is much more “substantial”

  • almost correct but no trash and vr headset is in a drawer

  • Maximum ghetto home server

    Jump

  • How is that ghetto lol. Now, I’d understand if you were like me with a crusty ass laptop in the corner of my room 2500km away from me, running some Linux and 4 external hard drives, but Xeon and ghetto?

  • [Question] about the security basics

    Jump

  • Docker is the way to go. More often than not self-hosted stuff already has docker instructions, and by design it doesn’t mount your entire drive or give access to really anything on your system unless defined explicitly, even networks are isolated iirc. OP, get educated on what docker is and what flags it has so you can easily see what has access to what before even spinning something up.

  • Hosting provider advice for a Telegram bot?

    Jump

  • I can confirm, I’m running the exact same scenario OP described (GPT-4 Telegram bot), on Oracle Cloud, and it works great. I found this implementation to be robust, easy to spin up, and easy enough to patch changes in.

  • Homemade sushi dinner night

    Jump

  • Pardon the overly curious question, but how much did that cost you? It looks stunning but I can’t help but wonder how many legs I’d have to sell to make something like that haha

  • My Selfhosted Homepage

    Jump

  • A friend of mine has something like 64% blocked. That’s what blocking telemetry does to ya! Every piece of tech, especially Samsung phones, Google TVs and various game clients phones home with such persistence that you’d think they’re DDoSing themselves.

  • My Strained Journey Through Diagnosis in The Worst Country in The World

    Jump

  • No offense but I find the "worse than the US" statement kind of insensitive, and I hear it all too often. Not to delve into politics, but let's just say the US at least HAS meds, like, at all. If you're filthy rich, you can get it, and ADHD is a recognized and treated disorder. Back home it's just illegal and unrecognized...

  • They’ve been failing for a while. It’s capitalism failing, not some magic tech entity concept like AI.

  • Any VPNs comparable to IVPN and Mullvad by privacy, but also have port forwarding?

    Jump

  • Sure, shoot. I’ll research anything. Just that everything so far has either been a privacy disaster or “oh don’t worry they only leak your entire data when you break the law! it’s your bad opsec!”

  • Any VPNs comparable to IVPN and Mullvad by privacy, but also have port forwarding?

    Jump

  • Bad opsec? It’s a bad VPN if it needs an email at all. Look at what IVPN does, they don’t even have a requirement for emails to register. I’m pretty sure Mullvad just recently was raided by authorities seize whatever they want they said, won’t find any user data they said. And they didn’t. Also proton redirects or used to redirect from onion to clearnet when you signed in. It simply isn’t up to par with IVPN and Mullvad. What’s the point of a VPN where a government can just request them to leak your data? No matter how, AT ALL! What constitutes a big enough crime for them? What if next day it’s downloading Frozen II.mkv?

  • Any VPNs comparable to IVPN and Mullvad by privacy, but also have port forwarding?

    Jump

  • Can’t they just log your account? You have to have an account with Proton to use their VPN. They can absolutely log your activity such as logging in, when you connected/disconnected, to which servers, and, more importantly, where from exactly (your original IP address)
