Oh the joys of Linux. The simplest things take the longest and you always end up learning some random ecosystem you never wanted to learn. Eventually you will find some weird set or circumstances that make everything work in which case you will never touch it again. Then 5-10 years from now you will finally realize all the mistakes you made when you no longer care about the problem you are trying to solve.

Linux@lemmy.ml•A big part of learning Linux is screwing up computers and starting over.English
1·1 year agoJust did a fresh install after attempting to migrate from a proxmox VM to baremetal (turns out my mobo only supports UEFI and after spending an hr trying to convert I just gave up and reinstalled)

Technology@lemmy.world•Amazon customer receives fake Ryzen 7 9800X3D, turns out to be decade-old AMD CPUEnglish
13·1 year agoWhat even is the purpose of pulling this scam on a site like amazon. 99% of the time the customer is going to return the item since it definitely won’t fit in the socket.

Technology@lemmy.world•Gaming chat platform Discord in early talks with banks about public listingEnglish
9·2 years agoThis is bad news for discord users. Making it a public company means that all their data will be up for sale when the company goes under

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•What's up, selfhosters? - The Sunday threadEnglish
2·2 years agoYea that is what I have been doing. Although it seems the smaller sizes are not a great deal anymore and I am hesitant to buy anything larger due to the long rebuild times

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•What's up, selfhosters? - The Sunday threadEnglish
9·2 years agoHad a hard drive fail my main zfs array. First time I have experienced a disk failure so it was a bit worrying. Thankfully I had added an additional drive to expand the array so I was able to quickly rebuild to that drive. Currently shopping for a replacement. From now on I think I will keep a cold spare just in case this happens again. I just wish hard drives would stop increasing in price.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Looking for a VPS. I don't know who to choose.English
10·2 years agoAlso if you do go this route and are concerned about privacy and security you can get a cheap vps then setup a VPN (wireguard probably) on the vps and have your home server connect to that. Then you can forward the vps ports to the VPN IP of your home server. This means that you don’t need to have port forwarding or even a dedicated IP at home and users don’t get your home IP. Keep in mind you need a vps that is relatively close to your house to keep the latency down as this setup will add twice the latency between home and the vps to the connection.

23·2 years agoJust an FYI getting a vps or dedicated server that is fast enough for Minecraft modpacks is going to be fairly expensive. It might be cheaper to get shared hosting for the MC server and a separate vps for the docker stuff.
I usually also backup the etc directory so if I had an issue I would at least have the config files from the old setup. This has already saved me a few times when I have really messed up configuration files.

Technology@lemmy.world•Microsoft Office support in Windows 10 ends in October too - what that really meansEnglish
8·2 years agoWindows 10 will become unsupported but I still anticipate it working fine even without updates. I suspect office will work the same on existing machines.

Technology@lemmy.world•Netflix wants programming for distracted viewersEnglish
4·2 years agoSometimes a show is bad. Sometimes some people just are not willing to put the effort into a show and therefore can’t really enjoy it that much. By far the greatest shows I have ever watched have been ones I have been highly invested in (watching episodes as they air). This is also why I still prefer to go to the movies since it forces you to completely focus on what you are watching.

Technology@lemmy.world•New Junior Developers Can’t Actually Code.English
1·2 years agoLately I have been using it for react code. It seems to be fairly decent at that. As a consequence when it does not work I get completely lost but despite this I think I have learned more with it then I would have without.
Not sure how many people would directly seek out a website like this but if it shows up in google searches its probably useful. You could also probably also source compose files from github automatically (obviously with a disclaimer) to help quickly get examples for containers.

This is the community fork that is still maintained. There are multiple instances like invidious and from what I understand it is relatively easy to self host. Since it is only for short term file storage and its E2EE I do not really mind using one of the public instances.
