2·1 month agoHail TOR and I2P!
My problem isn’t the hardware, it’s that the place I’m moving to will have a bad internet connection. My current homeserver has stuff like a CI (currently being tested), a builder for software (compiling rust, C/C++, go, and whatever else), immich, nextcloud with an extension to download from youtube and other sources (basically to circumvent geoblocking of multiple friends and family), and it could be expanded to host other services e.g a seedbox. All that stuff needs good hardware and a good connection.
My problem is that I’m moving in the not so far future and I don’t know where to put my server. Physical security is important and if someone gets into my house, takes the computer and leaves, it’ll be worthless due to encryption. But if it’s in somebody’s datacenter (co-location or whatever), they could be forced to monitor my traffic, tamper with my system, and I’d have to entrust the key to somebody in order to boot the system and decrypt the drives should it restart for an update or for any other reason.
I’m considering asking a friend to host the homeserver and reimburse them for a better internet connection (fiber) + electricity costs. But I’m not sure they’d be up for it.
How would you solve the problem?
Hey! Another nixos user 😁 What are you using for your VPS? nixos-infect? nixos-everywhere?
As for mini PCs, a friend bought one from Minis Forum and quite likes it. But if you want to support the opensource ecosystem, there are tuxedo computers and slimbook. There’s also starlabs byte.
Take your pick :)
43·1 month agoSure, the anticapitalists won’t be anticapitalistic. That’s just an excuse not to vote “they’re both the same”, then wonder why right wingers keep driving countries closer to the cliff edge.
Don’t want this to happen? Vote for a left wing party in your area or nationally. Change won’t be immediate, but every vote counts. The right wingers are friends of business and unfettered capitalism. They will let this happen time and time again.
If it’s on peertube, I might follow it. On YouTube, even if I watched it, it’d be through yt-dlp and thus no views for you (at least not officially).
61·2 months agoHow does one get a job like this? This is great! I want to get a job in a school or university and infect it with linux. “Guys, look! It’s cheaper and we can set it up then pay for support which still makes it cheaper and students can learn how to use it on their computers too, since it’s freely available to them!”
Thanks for the response. So there’s a bunch of stuff to do myself but also surprisingly enough stuff for an editor.
I’ll take a deeper look at it.
After reading this, I’m kinda curious how it compares to JetBrains. It’s becoming more and more VSCode like and I’m not a fan.
Does Kate support or have plugins for renaming symbols, presenting documentation, formatting files, showing code diagnostics beyond syntax errors (for example code smells or so), have AI integration (explain this, rewrite this, replace this with prompt output, …), specific framework integrations (reactjs, django, actix, …), and stuff like expanding macros in C/C++ and Rust?
Interesting. But what’s the Wayland protocol have to do with it? Where does that come in?
I read the blog post and am still confused as to what this is. It’s something I never used in X11 (if X11 supported it), therefore it’s not possible for me to miss it.
Is this the “restart all applications you were running when you restart your computer” feature? Was it broken in Wayland? If so, why? I thought the desktop environment would take care of starting the processes, placing the windows, and so on.
Not entirely sure what the before and after of this are. The blog post and article are written as if people know what this feature is.
How does this compare to Notion? Can it be used as a knowledge management system? I ask because I see highlights and notes.
I don’t know of a tutorial, but most tools have to have support for I2P built in, otherwise they won’t work. A good torrent client that does is qBittorrent.
Browsing I2Ps network with HTTP happens over a SOCKS5 proxy, so if aria supports that, you can use it too. https://geti2p.net/ should have more information.
I would then encourage you to look up how those work and what proof of work actually is. Proof of work requires some work to be done by the client. If you want regular people to browse the internet normally and “do work”, that means JavaScript, otherwise it requires them to install an extra binary like TOR or something, which would lock out most of real users. I imagine that’s not the goal of site operators.
There must be a tool that allows you to build packages for multiple systems in multiple formats (deb, rpm, nix, flatpak, snap, etc.). Does that not exist? After 20 years of these systems existing, somebody must’ve tried…
Also, it’s clear that once again, open source needs some kind of funding model, because it’s a little crazy that a project like this can get so popular so fast, the dev flooded with praise, thanks, and issues but not money to maintain and develop it.
How would that work? And how easy would it be to circumvent? Anubis probably forces spinning up a browser or something that supports a JS runtime (again probably a browser), so it’s not as easily scriptable as just callling an HTTP endpoint. I’m curious how you would implement a system without JS.
I wish more pirates used I2P. But it seems like many cannot deal with waiting a day for their download to finish.
That just looks like an Apple clone. Why do people think that’s “user friendly”?
I’d say the problem is education. Porn is only an issue because people do not get proper sex ed. The reaction to seeing a dick sucked in front of a child shouldn’t be shame, disgust, or terror but allowing the inquisitive mind to ask what is happening.
Sex is a completely normal occurrence that is the reason we are all here. There shouldn’t be any shame or stigma in explaining to a child (or any person for that matter) what it is, what it involves, why it is done, how to safely do it, what consent is, why it is stigmatised.
Want to protect children? Educate them.
