  • Have you upgraded to WiFi 6 - 802.11.ax?

  • I have Starlink gen 2 which only supports WiFi 5. After getting the Ethernet adapter and putting up a WiFi 6 access point almost all of my WiFi problems went away. I dunno if the problems were because of the Starlink implementation, or the older WiFi version, but for me it was a huge difference.

  • Which OS do you use for your homeserver?

  • I came back to Gentoo after years of Kubuntu. Once they forced snap down our throats and started pulling other weird crap I knew it was time to make a change. I came back to Gentoo and it's been pretty great. Still a few things to iron out on my laptop installs, but it's great for my home server.

  • "chrome, Firefox, and edge as gods"

  • I was thinking FireChrome

  • Am I in over my head? Need some encouragement!

  • I've been doing Linux server administration for 20 years now. You'll always have to duckduckgo things. You'll never keep it all in your head, even just a single server with a handful of services. Docker and containers really isn't too hard. Just start small and build from there. If you can learn how the chroot command works, you've pretty much learned docker. It's just chroot with more features.

  • Cling 1.0 Released For Interactive C++ Interpreter

  • I love cling. It's super nice when you don't quite know the syntax for the thing you want to try, but you have a couple good guesses. It's also great for quickly iterating to figure out how to use libraries that have crappy or no documentation.

  • [seeking solution] self hosted search engine

  • Yacy is pretty great.

  • Did you know that 3.14% of all sailors

  • Pick some of our corn today

  • Looks good! What zone are you growing in?

  • GNU C Library 2.38

  • Finally getting the strl family functions. It really shouldn't have taken this long given how many problems are caused by strcat (or even strncat). Now getting people to use them is the next battle.

  • VPN Enabled Router

  • I would honestly recommend buying an old laptop with a broken screen (or an old netbook or something, make sure it has an Ethernet port), a decent DSL modem, a USB network adapter, and a switch if you need it. Now you've got everything you need to make a super capable router. Install a very basic Linux distribution and get NAT setup (it's like 4 or 5 commands), configure the firewall, and your VPN software of choice. I've run a setup like this for years and it's great, because any time a component is "out-of-date" you just update that component. For example, you need AX WiFi instead of AC, just upgrade the WiFi adapter).

  • A blog that is a single executable binary

  • I've been working on a similar project since about 2016. My goals were slightly different. I wanted to use C++ and focus on minimalism, but still have solid content and capabilities. I finished a working version that hosts a JSON API of weather data and a web app to manage email aliases for a self-hosted mail server. It's nothing fancy, but it generally works.

  • What's the best line from Ralph Wiggum?

  • I choo-choo choose you.

  • Permanently Deleted

  • Results are very hit-and-miss, but if you're into the whole distributed search engine thing you should give Yacy a try. https://yacy.net/ I ran a node for a long time and as long as you keep feeding the index you usually get decent results for the things you search for often.

    If Toddlers Had Lawyers

  • If Reddit has Redditors, Lemmy has what?

  • As a kid of the 90s who grew up playing a wonderful video game of the same name. I fully endorse Lemmings =)

  • so, which Big Tech company do you think is going to shit the bed next and popularize its Fediverse/FOSS equivalent in the process?

  • I knew about Lemmy, Mastadon, and PeerTube before this this latest mess with Reddit, but this finally gave me the push to come over as I'm sure it will for many.

  • Im kindof a noob but I love linux

  • Void seems to be surprisingly popular, I haven't tried it. I'm a Gentoo user, any particular reason to give Void a try?

  • Average Lemmy Active Users by Day after recent decision made by Reddit

  • I'm here from Reddit. The only thing keeping me there was the Reddit is Fun App, now that the API is going away, so is the only thing keeping me there. So, hello Lemmy =).

  • Welcome!

  • I had a section in university on binary exploitation. It was super fun. We got to do some buffer overflow attacks, dynamic linker exploits, and command injection. Reverse engineering is super frustrating for me, but very rewarding when you finally get it figured out. I admire those who can do it well.

  • which OS do you like the most?

  • Gentoo Linux here. I used Kubuntu for the longest time, but once they started forcing snapd down my throat, I jumped ship.
