  • One of the biggest problems that has arisen with the internet is that it creates the illusion that anyone can do anything, even though that is absolutely not the case.

  • Maybe not better, but not much worse either. Fuel got more expensive when Americans started their dumb war against Iran (the people of which I feel sorry for), but on the flip side, Russian war efforts seem to be getting weaker.

    Besides, none of this matters at all to our discussion of tech getting worse, or not.

    Odyssey actually does not have historically accurate.

  • Athens were olive toned.

    Green or black? Or those huge, red and expensive ones?

  • is it true that linux cannot run on a laptop without any SSD ?

  • The 2GB of RAM are going to hit you harder than the HDD, if you intend to run a modern browser on it…

  • On the contrary, everything is better than ever!

    Internet connections are cheaper and more ubiquitous than ever. Second-hand junk is available for free or very cheap. It is common to keep a computer in your pocket, one which is faster and has more memory than seriously power-hungry and expensive equipment of yesteryear.

    Yes, there are more bastards around, but you needn't listen to them. Use the economy of scale that the thundering herds bring, then ignore them. Self-host private spaces for friends. Contribute to open source.

    Use AI to learn. Instead of wasting energy to generate silly junk, use them to debug and fix bugs in open-source software.

    Life is good.

  • A BYO-server VPN with no backend and nothing to log — smart per-destination routing, $2.99 once, no subscription

  • How's it compare to RethinkDNS?

  • Work wifi access

    Jump

  • Really? ISTR I had to wait until enough traffic accumulates, then run some aircrack-ng computation, to make it happen, on WEP, and WPA was crackproof. Oh well, I must be misremembering, or maybe times have moved on.

  • Work wifi access

    Jump

  • Nah, that used to work with WEP. Nowadays, anyone with half an axon is on something more secure.

    remote backup: push or pull?

    Jump

  • I don't trust my VPS with access to my backup box, so I pull.

  • I cloned some tomato plants today. With nothing but my fingers.

    Jump

  • This is so cool!Will the new tomato plant have enough time to bear fruit, though? It started its growing season late.

  • I can flash my Poco F1 in bootloader mode only through an ancient USB hub. The fastbootd in recovery works also without, so it must be a firmware bug.

  • In 2016, 67% of Americans agreed that most people can get ahead if they were willing to work hard. Today, it's 47%

    Jump

  • Ahead of whom, anyway?

  • How/what to start self-hosting?

    Jump

  • You'll need a public IP. CGNAT won't do, unless you'll also add Tailscale (or such) in all your client devices (which might actually be OK).

    Grab an old laptop from a junk heap. Ask around for discarded computers. Possibly get an old dead Android (possibly with a broken if barely functional screen) and install Termux. Buying stuff is not green. A laptop with a 5-second battery life, completely broken screen and nonfunctional keyboard will be perfectly good for self-hosting - temporarily plug in an external screen + keyboard, until you get SSH up and running. The rest of access will happen over SSH anyway.

    Install your favorite Linux distro (I like NixOS. Debian would be a good basic yet powerful choice).

    Set up a webserver (nginx is a solid choice). Serve some static files in LAN.Make your webserver accessible to the internet. Get a TLS certificate for it, for free, from Letsencrypt. Host a blog. Set up Vaultwarden and import existing passwords into it.

    At this moment, your possibilities widen up - many, many services are commonly set up behind a reverse proxy (nginx the webserver is going to decrypt the TLS, then proxy the plaintext connection to your services, so your actual service doesn't need the hassle of TLS encryption). For example Nextcloud.

    Set up a Snikket server and install Snikket app in your smartphone (Dino works well on Linux). Tell your significant other, or family, or the closest friend that this is a fallback communication channel in case your main one ever goes down. Set up a STUN/TURN server and start video calling each other.

    Email is a hassle. I self-host it, along with an authoritative DNS server and several other things, but it's not for the faint of the heart.

  • What is (one of) your favorite kind(s) of bread, and what context do you enjoy it in the most?

    Jump

  • I bake my own wholegrain rye sourdough. Context: butter or pate or cheese on top, or just eat it with any savory food.

  • Hosting a matrix server with synapse, how do you handle registration?

    Jump

  • I recently migrated my Synapse to MAS.The next night, I dreamed that my sleep is now modern, extensible, secure, and uses XML.

  • What does your IPv6 setup look like?

    Jump

  • set up ULA so you can access your local devices if the internet goes down

    your router should retain its address even if the external connection goes down.

    DHCPv6 is not well supported

    Androids get SLAAC, everybody else can have a nice, readable, stable, firewall-openable suffix.
