sebsch, in The last few weeks in KDE: It’s coming… it’s coming… it’s coming

I already installed it at my private workstation and it’s bonkers.

Some bugs left, but all in all it is working super already.

Kudos to the people from kde. This one will clearly a superb product

I’m pretty sure that most people won’t be able to tell the difference between 5 and 6.

Seems like minor changes to me.

I once did enjoy KDE but always hated the font, icons and everything in the UI is lines. Makes it hard to comprehend things quickly.

In the end I realised the Gnome-based UI is far better for legibility and comprehension. I’m on Linux Mint Debian Edition with Cinnamon and it’s great.

UNY0N, in Your favorite linux projects for weekend

I’m learning about i3 and xfce on arch (my daily driver). I’m not linux expert, but I’ve been really enjoying figuring things out after switching from ubuntu to arch. This weekend I’m getting the icons for network manager applet and clipman working on the whisker panel, and then removing the i3bar.

Well, at least that’s rhe goal. I don’t have much free time, so tbis will mkst likely be a month project, not a weekend. :P

abominable_panda, in [Question] Unable to access someof my LAN servers from WAN

Does your nginx config know how to handle a direct IP address request? Seems like its set up for domain name only?

Weslee, (edited )

To be honest I think the wordpress install handled all that, or maybe wordpress handles it inheritly, I’m not sure. I simply pointed a domain to my static ip and forwarded http/https to the correct LAN ports and it just worked on its’ own.

I probably shouldn’t have mentioned Wordpress, I’m mostly focused on the Gogs server right now, I just added it for more context on the issue

abominable_panda, (edited )

Oh yeah my mistake. Ill give it some thought but in the meantime you might find more help in the selfhosted community

Weslee, (edited )

Thank you, I will try there, I was trying to install PiVPN since I can connect to the Gogs server on my local network, if I could just get a VPN server running it should work, but of course more issues with that. The cause could well be some config I might have changed and forgotten about, reimaging and starting fresh might be the easiest solution.

Though, I did just upgrade to FTTP - which added a modem or some kind of device between my router and the internet, so maybe there could be some extra config surrounding that I’m just not aware of

abominable_panda,

Looking at the config have you set up the domain name and everything for WAN?

abominable_panda,

Generally if youre selfhosting a vpn is better from a cyber security perspective anyway.

haui_lemmy, (edited )

This. I was getting fits when I read the post. Fiber is actually great for selfhosting a service but the security side is very dangerous for uninformed individuals.

If configuring an nginx server is already stretching it, its only a matter of time until your stuff is encrypted and ransomed. Same goes for all data in your network. If the pi is not in its own zone, it has now become a door to your network with barely a lock, let alone a good one.

I would highly recommend reading up on network security and probably prioritize isolating the pi and making at least daily backups.

You router is going to be scanned for open ports every couple minutes. If the wordpress doesnt have a strong password, you‘re in for a bad time.

This is a text post, so the OP wrote text corresponding to the title. You should be able to see it at the top of the post. (Spoiler, OP is basically asking the community why NixOS is better, because they don’t quite understand the advantages of using NixOS.)

onlinepersona, in NixOS is better because...

Better in some ways, but it has the worst documentation of any distro I’ve seen so far. nixlang.wiki is trying to improve that

pmk, in COSMIC: The Road to Alpha

Just curious, on a scale from cowsay to MS Word, how difficult would it be to port COSMIC to the BSDs, assuming wayland support?

mmstick,
@mmstick@lemmy.world avatar

As long as you have access to the latest version of Rust, porting would be somewhere near cowsay.

pmk,

Nice! I know that OpenBSD people have been working on a wayland compatible thing which takes into account Linux-specific things (libinput?), but last I heard it’s not ready. I have my hopes up though! Could be the year of desktop BSD if they port COSMIC.

mmstick,
@mmstick@lemmy.world avatar

It would certainly be easier for them to port COSMIC because there are very few dependencies on shared C libraries. Cargo links all Rust libraries statically, so it’s easier to maintain and update components. This will depend how open they are to accepting Cargo and Rust into their ecosystems.

pmk,

OpenBSD -release seems to be at rust 1.72, but -current has 1.75.

The thin piece of electronics in my hand that I’m typing this on

Dehydrated, in What are some interesting devices powered by Linux?

All 3 billion Android devices in the world. It’s pretty crazy when you think about it. Also 96% of the top 1 million web servers and all of the 500 fastest super computers (excluding quantum) in the world.

69420,

What are the quantum computers running? Also, please tell me they can run Doom.

@Rozauhtuno@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

afaik quantum computers don’t run operative systems, they are programmed to do exactly one thing.

And no, they can’t run Doom.

Dehydrated, (edited )

If Doom can run on pregnancy tests and IKEA light bulbs, it must be possible to run it on the most advanced kind of computer known to mankind I guess

merc,

Quantum computers aren’t fast, they’re very slow.

Eventually, if things keep progressing, they’ll be able to do certain things like factoring primes faster than conventional computers. But, the clock rate will probably always be abysmal.

ScottE, in What are some interesting devices powered by Linux?

Pretty much everything that’s running on a microprocessor (i.e. larger than a microcontroller) and not from Microsoft or Apple.
