I presume they mean pointing their cloudflare tunnel to direct lemmy.example.com to http://localhost/:[port], and I don’t think there’s any special rules about that port from cloudflares site.
I use tunnels and ports in about that range for all my sites, and don’t have any problems.
You probably don’t need me to tell you, but keep good backups. Friend of mine recently had his account nuked without any reason given, and without the possibility of recourse.
Hasn’t Rutte always been known for being able to handle Trump well? I’m pretty sure the only way to do that is kiss his ass in a way he understands, so this doesn’t seem too surprising.
Why are you using a recording app with ads/tracking when there’s free alternatives that don’t do that?
Like, if you really wanna have transcripts, Google’s recording app works even if you deny it network access. Found that out because I was too lazy to look for a proper FOSS solution.
I actually kinda did that. Sent a preconfigured thinkcentre to my mum that boots into the jellyfin media player, connects to my server via tailscale. Just had to plug it into power, lan, hdmi. Immutable, atomic system that looks for updates on boot, applies them on next reboot, and does a rollback and ping me if the update fails.
I have ssh access, and my brother lives nearby in case everything fails, that makes things easier.
I kinda get it with “soft” targets (e.g. Let’s see what we can do in a day/weekend). “Hard” targets (you gotta do x in x Minutes) pretty much guarantee I’ll get nothing good done.
Yes, I hated every coding exam I’ve been in.
I don’t think it’s necessarily worth it for anyone currently on Linux, but if they provide support and a warranty, it might be helpful for some folks who aren’t that computer savvy, but still sick of Windows.
Yeah, OK, I was thinking of my sister, also around that age, but I guess I have a bit of a “cool older brother” bonus, that her mother might not necessarily have.
Did manage to get her into Linux, though, so I see that as a win.
I guess you could install cockpit (via Terminal, sorry, but it’s pretty straightforward and there are good guides). After that, you could use the cockpit web interface to deploy docker/podman containers. It’s a bit clunky sometimes, but it does the job purely in UI.
You can also manage updates, backups, etc via cockpit if you install the required modules.
As base, I’d use any stable Linux distro that’s reccomended for server use.
Edit: Comment was in wrong place, refiled as op level comment.
Uh, if he’s your son, you might be able to teach him? Like, without my parents encouraging it, I don’t think I’d have learned half as much about computers as I did in my childhood/teens.
Really depends early GenZ was born in the late 90s/early 00s, and I can Attest that there’s quite a few who’re pretty good with computers. Mostly depends on what you got in touch with at home.
Now, Gen Alpha, I’d say, is on average proper fucked regarding computer knowledge.
Or, more to the point, the generational blocks don’t really matter much for this, but there’s certainly a declining aclemation with basic OS concepts.
I use atomic distros on my server and a media centre, but don’t see any reason to do it on my main systems. Stability is fine, and atomic distros make said tinkering more difficult.
Apartment person here. I use electric. An electric train, that is.
First SanDisk, then Samsung. The Samsung ones usually lasted a bit longer.
I think the Card that has held up the longest (still in use, currently in some Raspberry Pi) is one from SiliconPower. Also, some Samsung 128 and 256 cards (from their Endurance Series I think) that I gave away to a friend who uses them in her camera.
I gotta admit I don’t really care. Back when I used MicroSD Cards in my phone, they kept dying, and even midrange phones now have more internal storage then I need.
I can see why people want the option, but I personally haven’t missed it.
Recently needed to set up a Win11 VM. It worked after removing the network adaptor from the VM setup, and then using the bypassnro command.
Fucking Microsoft.
OK, as a result of this, I went on a bit of a research trip, and found out that
a) Setzer is apparently just what you people call carbonated water, and, b) that that is because of fucking Selters, a brand of mineral water I could go out and buy in any random-ass supermarket. (Sure, if you wanna go into it, it’s because that source has a kinda funky mineral mix, and because water from there has been bottled forever, but whatever.)
There isn’t really any point or punchline here, I just think our world is very silly.
I don’t think the average user thinks much about the platform they’re on, and about who controls it. I think they go to wherever most of their family/friends are.
Also, those platforms are firmly in the mainstream, the alternatives aren’t really - you’d have to actively go search for them. People just aren’t likely to do that, I don’t think.
Yeah, I feel like we’re missing some info here.
I have to admit that I have no experience with yuno. Always seemed interesting, but not like something that fits into my work flow.
If they’re self-hosting at home (which I’m also doing for some services), I’d presume they’re probably running their stuff on a single machine, so I’m not sure where their router would come Into it. The data the cloudflare tunnel process receives should look the same to the router no matter the port it is ultimately sent to, and when it is sent to an address internal to the machine, shouldn’t pass through the router again.
