my first NAS was a synology and it sucked so hard I moved to QNAP, which sucked less but still was bad, so I learned to just make and use my own same mini server.
I still remember their support to open the SSH port to the public internet for their support team to look at it. fucking clowns.
Hmm, I’m still new to Lemmy. How do I block an instance?
I can’t remember exactly why I hate SUSE, but I remember it never worked right when I tried it. Weird layers of abstraction, terrible ARM support, blegh.
Snaps promise to do some really cool things. They just are a bitch to use and they are slow and tied too heavily to canonical.
Weren’t use supposed to be able to snap in and out a kernel by now? Like, not even needing a reboot?
Dude if you could convince MAGA of that…
Open up the tv, de soldier the led.
That’s increasingly difficult to do.
Android has been doing shit like this for years. It’s a marketing tool more than anything. But there’s a weird tribalism around Android so everyone just forgives it. But when windows does it people suddenly care about privacy.
I’m tired.
Honestly the new base mini is a good buy. Until fairly recently in the Mac timeline, the minis had slow hard drives holding them back.
Can confirm, Intel minis run Linux just fine.
That’s a good point. Better get a giant ass hard drive array going and connect it to something disposable, like an pi.
When they were protesting here in Akron, some asshole put out giant pallets of bricks all along the protest route. Fuckheads.
Division by zero in my ass?
That’s not because the registry is important or powerful. It’s the opposite. Microsoft designs their shitty operating systems to always assume the registry is perfect. Question nothing. Everything is literal. There is no sanity checking or error handling. So if something is off about the registry, the OS will just shrug and blue screen.
Stop using windows. It’s for children.
The windows registry is not a magical thing. That’s really all that dangerous. It’s just a giant central config file that you can store binary data in if you know what you’re doing. Malware can hide there too.
Tools that claim to lighten windows are almost always riddled with malware. You should never ever trust them. Those project build a base of loyal users, then change and add in malware later, compromising the system.
Windows is not a system you modify like that. It’s actually surprisingly Mac like in how you have to handle it. Be responsible. Build an OS up and out, bow down and back.
There are 3 movie files that have bad checksums but are still readable for some reason. Literally everything else is fine.
valid, fast and private OS wut?
Microsoft turns things back on all the time though. It doesn't matter what you set if they can unset it whenever they want.
You think windows updates are bad?

DHT dies in podman?
I'm trying to move over from transmission on my laptop to qbittorrent on my NAS. I have it running rootlessly in a podman container. I wanted the stats to show up on my heimdall webUI so I put both containers into the same network with a Network=heimdallnet line in their quadlets and fired them up again. It worked, except DHTs are dead and the qbittorrent stays firewalled.
After spending too much time on this issue, I asked chatgpt for advice. It suggested I do an iptables rule to allow for nat from the bridge network to the outside world. That did resolve the firewall status but DHTs stayed dead. I gave up and removed the Network=heimdallnet line.
I'm sure this is doable, but I'm not quite smart enough to understand what I did wrong.

I have been banging my head against the desk over this. I can use u-boot on the SD card to boot alpine off a flash drive. I cannot get the entire thing running off SD card though. It keeps doing this. What am I missing?
looking to flee the red states below you
I'm looking over my options in fleeing for safety as things get worse down here. I am considering joining friends in Oregon but that might not safe enough. I'm gay, atheist, have a college degree (not in anything useful, however), and am everything the nazi's down here hate.
I need to get out.
I know you guys are justifiably pissed at us Americans right now, but if I were to try and move to Canada (and I have no idea how I could possibly do such a thing in time) would I be welcomed there? Would I be safe? Or would I be seen as an aggressor or threat of some sort?
I need to get out of here but if it means going somewhere everyone will hate me I might not be any better off.
What's the nerd culture like in Oregon?
I’m considering fleeing my red state and moving to Oregon. But I noticed you guys don’t have a single microcenter anywhere! Where do the makers all go for filament, resin, ram, diodes, etc? I read you guys used to have fry’s but that went under. Did nothing take its place?
I’d like to be able to bring my hobby with me. Where do the DIY nerds shop?
debt consolidation fucked me, now what?
a bit over a year ago, I went through debt consolidation. I signed up with a company that offers me a monthly payment to kill my credit cards and provide me legal representation should I need it. It's been about a year since and they have only shut down some of them. There are 1 or 2 still left open.
I was told not to make any payments on the cards. Let them complain and threaten with collections. This will let the debt consolidators buy the debt for cheap if the credit card companies refuse to close the cards. They have been tanking my credit for months and they aren't closing my cards.
Now I'm in a bad place financially. I lost the job I had at the time I went into consolidation and the current one isn't paying as much. I'm not missing any payments but it's trapping me.
I may need to leave my state for some place safer soon. But I have such a poor credit score now that I cant imagine anyone renting to me now.
Debt consolidation feels like it was a scam.
Should I declare ba
I probably won't be around much longer
I don’t know why I’m posting this. Maybe I’m hoping for some epiphany or for someone to point to a way out I’ve missed though I’m certain that’s not going to happen.
I’m watching the Nazis rise again in my country. I never supported them. Not now, not in earlier incarnations that lead to this. They rose anyway.
I got out of homelessness. I got a college education, though admittedly not in anything useful. I’ve never committed a crime aside from speeding. I’ve always played by the rules, even when they were unfair to me. I believed we had to cooperate with eachother, debate, struggle along to arrive at something more honest, a compromise that would better serve more people in the long run. But that only works if both sides are playing the same game by the same rules. The Nazis aren’t. I bettered myself as best I could. They didn’t. And they are winning.
I know what’s coming next. I understand that great violence is coming. I fear I will not survive. I fear my friends will not surv
