Hello, recently I have started to see the limit’s of vps’s and have been thinking about getting a hetzner dedicated server from the auction. My question is are they worth it and if so what would be the best way to make use of them....
don’t shit on people who donate their free time to make a product you can use for free with no warranty whatsoever, unless they treat you like shit
many FOSS communities are toxic: I wholeheartedly agree. Fuck those that are. Ain’t nobody got time for that.
Still point 2 does not invalidate point 1.
I’ve had to deal with toxic ubuntu, debian, arch, nixos, rust, java, python, … communities. The ones that piss me off the most are linux communities that treat newcomers like gutter-filth, refuse to endorse GUIs, good documentation, and just a generally better newcomer experience, then wonder why there’s no “year of the linux desktop”. I hate those gatekeepers with a passion. “If you use Linux, you must learn to use the command line”, no how about you fuck off to whatever CLI cave you came from and learn to be a productive member of the community?
As I said, I get it. But again, writing an angry bug report, demanding a new feature be implemented, writing a tirade about “how bad opensource software is” or whatever? Nah. Not OK
Remember that joke? Ask for help and you get no response; Say linux sucks because you can’t do X and you get dozens of apologetic posts explaining step by step how to do stuff.
A great start to the week - @pop_os_official will collaborate with us to offer Slint as an alternative toolkit for application development on Cosmic Desktop.
Yeah, I disagree. It’s the least subjective resource I can find as nobody asks the questions on that questionnaire here. I’d much prefer it if people used distrochooser and then shared their answers (e.g distrochooser.de/en/d5b60b6e6134/), wrote some extra stuff e.g “I want NVIDIA support because I want CUDA” or something, and based on that, we recommend distros. Instead of the herd mentality of “duh, linux mint stoopeed”
That’s what bots are for: an automated response like “have you tried XXX? share the link to the results here with additional information if you think the questionnaire didn’t consider an aspect important to you”.
In search for free domain I got IPQuick. It gives a random domain for any IP4&6. I know not reliable for commercial use but I just want a domain for nextcloud,fediverse and mail....
Check whatismyipaddress.com to see your IP address once you’re connected to either network, but with a high likelihood, it’s almost certainly different IPs. In that case, Dynamic DNS is probably best.
But if you’re using your neighbor’s wifi, I doubt there’s a way for you to host stuff unless you have access to their routers, can open ports 80 (HTTP) and 443 (HTTPS), and forward them to your server. It’s best to use hardware you control (including the router).
So I was looking into getting port forwarding set up and I realized just how closed-off the internet has gotten since the early days. It’s concerning. It used to be you would buy your own router and connect it to the internet, and that router would control port-forwarding and what-have-you....
Hi, everybody Recently, a guy noticed that I was using it and asked why? For me it because in Linux many things are done through the terminal because Linux has many different desktop environments...
I’m not saying it as a source of pride. It’s incredibly annoying to me that I need to edit a file in order to manage my system instead of having a GUI like KDE’s to manage all the settings. On NixOS, there’s just no way around that at the moment.
Unfortunately, I don’t know another somewhat sane declarative distro. Do you? (No, not GUIX. That’s just NixOS with a ton more brackets and less packages).
That’s for the courts to decide. It’s difficult to escape modern life though. Also, banning ads completely is a near impossible task IMO. It would be like banning messaging. Nailing down the definition of an ad would always lead to people finding ways around that.
“An ad is a message aiming to sell a product or service” --> define selling, define product, define service. Once those are defined then there’ll be a way around that too. “I’m not aiming to sell a product or service, I’m just informing the public that it exists”. Where would you go from there? You can’t make the act of informing a person of a product’s existence a crime: “Hey bro, I bought this new product and -” “OMG, you’re such a criminal for telling me about a product”.

Hetzner Server auction worth it?

Could we add "Distrochooser" to the sidebar? (distrochooser.de)
Quite a few posts about selecting a distro to use. Maybe it’s time to make that link a little more prominent?
In search for free domain I got one but some questions

It’s a great place to find alternatives (including opensource alternatives) to services and software.
