subtext,

They own the domain instead of you. They can then act as a middle man between any inquiries and you, and as a company, they’re able to shield you from many 3rd parties.

subtext,

Yeah tbh if I’m already going to be using Cloudflare for DNS, might as well use them for their registrar as well. One fewer entity to trust.

Pedantic, but for carbon dioxide or oxygen (or most other molecules you’ll write out) it’s a subscript for the number. Wikipedia

So it would be CO2~ or H2O or O~2~~

Seems my markdown is rusty, however you make subscripts I guess for CO<sub>2</sub>

subtext,

Although in the subscription version, SSO is not available unless you purchase the “Contact Us” version. sso.tax would like a word.

subtext,

Definitely a fair point, always good to see that in a project

subtext,

Pretty sure the maintainer is in Germany so that wouldn’t help (unless you meant something else by your comment)

subtext,

I’m still so upset about Chamberlain disabling my smart garage with all that (I’m not about to use their damn app).

Thankfully the open source community have reverse engineered something but still, now I have to spend $40 because Chamberlain got butt hurt that people didn’t want to use their app.

subtext,

I think end-to-end refers to the “open source”, not the GPU acceleration. I know GPUs have always been a black magic to get working and so you often have to use proprietary, closed-source blobs from the manufacturer to get them to work.

The revolution that this is bringing seems to be that all that black magic has been able to be implemented in open-source software.

Could be wrong though, that’s just how I interpreted the article.

Self-hosted or personal email solutions?

I have a unique name, think John Doe, and I’m hoping to create a unique and “professional” looking email account like johndoe@gmail.com or john@doe.com. Since my name is common, all reasonable permutations are taken. I was considering purchasing a domain with something unique, then making personal family email accounts for...

subtext,

I use Fastmail.

My domain has me plus the wife, and she’s not willing to tolerate any amount of fiddling or bugs or anything, so we needed something that would Just Work™, and Fastmail fits the bill quite well.

Their features are great, I actually prefer their app over the native iOS app, and they’ve been rock solid since I signed up. I can also have any amount of aliased and I can put all three of my domains on there. Plus they’re not Google which was the biggest thing I needed them to be.

subtext,

I think they’re referring to Framework’s support for full Linux compatibility for at least Ubuntu, and making sure that the parts they use have first class Linux support and drivers and kernel integration.

subtext,

I appreciate your attention to leap year

subtext,

My problem is that I only need to use the VPN, but I get pop ups all the time asking if I want to subscribe to their all in one plan or buy their black Friday deal. When all I want to do is connect to the VPN.

So yes, even when you subscribe you still get pop ups (and in their apps too so you can’t even use ublock origin to block them).

subtext,

I was on Mullvad before but moved to proton when Mullvad stopped offering port forwarding :/

subtext,

Yeah they ended forwarded ports on 2023-07-01. I was pretty sad when they did so and I had to move because I loved what they were doing and was extremely happy with my subscription.

subtext,

Love / hate how it’s always the easiest answer. For me it’s always fucking DNS.

subtext,

To this day my friends know not to call a melt a grilled cheese around me or they’re going to hear my shitty retelling of this.

Proton VPN on Linux looks very different from Windows. How do you select one of their P2P options for faster torrenting?

Pretty much what the title says. I noticed that ProtonVPN Linux has an EXTREMELY limited interface compared to their program on Windows. I also do not appear to have the option to bind qBittorrent to ProtonVPN the same way that I did with MullvadVPN. Has anybody experienced ProtonVPN on Linux and successfully used it for...

subtext,

I don’t have a great answer for you, but hopefully I can provide some ideas that I hope can get your ideas flowing

  1. Use a config file and use the built-in VPN configuration. Not very flexible, but you can be pretty confident it should work.
  2. Use some containers (with docker or podman) to set up a qbit and a gluetun container.
  3. Use the new version of the app for linux if you’re not already.

Whatever you do, I hope you look into the option in advanced settings in qbit to a specific network interface so it only works through the VPN. Unfortunately you definitely right that the Linux app is a second class citizen :/

subtext,

Yep, and if you’re using docker, gluetun can make it fairly easy to set up portforwarding, then you can call the API from the qbit container to update the port forwarded setting.

Hardware question

Hello! This might not be the right community but I’m looking at building a new server and you operate in similar areas and might have experience with this. I’ve got a GPU without video outputs, can I combine that with a CPU without integrated graphics and still get video output from the HDMI located on the motherboard?

subtext,

Without specific experience, my assumption would be no. Much like when plugging into a desktop computer’s motherboard HDMI port instead of the GPU HDMI port.

subtext,

I switched to Proton VPN and the gluetun docker container for port forwarding.

subtext,

Curious what it is about those countries that would cause you to advise against using them?

subtext, (edited )

I’m not entirely sure on the absolute best, but I always use Switzerland. I believe they have extremely strong privacy laws that protect individual privacy and I believe they have a relaxed view on downloading so long as it is solely for personal use, though uploading / sharing torrenting is still very much disallowed.

subtext,

Yeah it’s definitely way past the line where it becomes worthwhile to go after you and there’s even a money trail somewhere to trace it back. IMO definitely not worth any potential legal headaches to buy or sell a service like this.

subtext,

You joke, but I think I remember it being called Whisparr
