SysOp, Gamer, Nerd. In no particular order.
To give you an idea how poor this makes them, the largest municipality in my country, São Paulo, has a GDP of $170B. Yes, that’s right, one city in Brazil has more than 3X North Korea’s GDP.
Hell, Microsoft paid more than that for ActiBlizzard… North Korea is pathetic, the only reason it still exists is China, that wants them there as a buffer between them and US allies South Korea and Japan.
That site is likely written by AI, so is no surprise that it makes such stupid mistakes.
In that case, without encryption, your safety is zero. That’s the exact scenario that full-drive encryption was designed for.
Safe in what context ?
If the drive is mounted and data accessible, in case your computer is compromised by some kind of malware, well, the data will be easy to exfiltrate. Now, if the computer is turned off or the drive unmounted, that’s what encryption comes in to protect it.
So, basically, encryption will protect the data in case of physical theft of the drive or in case of remote hacking if the drive is un-mounted.
If India is anything like my country (Brazil), corruption is rampant and enforcement outside business environments is pretty much non-existent, so, no, no one is afraid of piracy for domestic use. We used to have street vendors and booths on strip malls selling all kinds of warez on CD/DVD. The only reason they’re not around anymore is because internet speeds here are already good enough that downloading is easier. And no, no one will cut you connection because of it, our congress already approved laws saying that access to digital communication is a civic right.
Here in Brazil, people can vote while still in jail serving sentence. On top of that, asking any job candidate for their criminal records is illegal, unless the job is on a financial institution, like a bank. Third parties (like an HR department) can’t access criminal records due to privacy protections contained in out constitution and laws.
It’s clear the original was made before all those sites enshittified into their current forms. That’s why it mentions Vine instead of TikTok, which is notable for having been enshittified from day 1.
To dislodge an incumbent, a product needs to have an enormous advantage, a killer feature that makes the hassle of changing worth it. Up until now, Linux didn’t have it. Well, it did, but Windows had it too, but Microsoft dropped it: lack of ads baked on the OS.
Now that Windows is turning into yet another Ad delivery system, people are looking for an escape. Many are going to Macs, some are coming to Linux.
You can run with your own reverse proxy Nginx if:
You’ll still need 3 DNS names and a SSL certificate to cover all three.
TO configure your Nginx, you can use the template I provided on the config/ directory as a base.
Privacy conscious Interface for Youtube, with a much cleaner and faster interface. You can try a public instance from this list: https://github.com/TeamPiped/Piped/wiki/Instances
One thing that was making the boot taking too long on my LXC containers systemd-networkd-wait-online.service, a service that waits for every link to be up. After I figured this, I added that service to the list of stuff I turn off, even on bare-metal installs.
first is to have a second graphics card - it can be an integrated one, like on Ryzen 7xxx or Intel CPUS - or a second computer that can SSH into the gaming box, just in case you need to open a terminal to fix stuff that broke. Then hit the Level1Tech forums, there’s a lot of knowledge there about the stuff.
On the Radeon camp, it’s just “apt dist-upgrade; systemctl reboot”
Done.
The only time I had issues with the open source AMD drivers was when I was doing GPU pass through to play Elite: Dangerous, the drivers really didn’t like the state Windows left the card in when it was time to reattach it to Linux.

Those look nice. I don’t need a dedicated desktop client, since I always have Firefox open anyways, but I’ll give Libretube a try on my phone. Bonus, Libretube’s Mastodon account is on the same instance that I use :-)
Games from my childhood. Moon Patrol, Galaga, Zaxxon, Twin Bee, Xevious, Gradius, etc.
Yup. I’m that old.
Since this is /c/selfhosted, it would be a good idea to add “HA - HomeAssistant, a popular automation software” to the list. Another one id “LXC - Linux Containers”
When the owner themself doesn’t hide what kind of PoS they are, this is what you get. I have no love for Zuckerberg, but if I can criticize him based on what he does and how he does it and the effects his decisions have on society, any one with brains could without having to resort to low brow insults of measuring contests. That’s basically the difference, one service is managed by someone who, despite all his flaws, is an adult, the other isn’t.
BTW, I used neutral pronouns for the “chief twitt” and not for Zuck just to spite him and make the point that one doesn’t have to lower the level bellow a certain threshold to provoke, all considering how they hate “woke” stuff…
No matter how much FaceMeta disgusts me, at least Threads has some semblance of moderation to keep the MAGA fascists under control. I rather have to deal with idiots than with the far-right cesspool that Twitter is turning into.
Thankfully, we have Mastodon, so I don’t have to deal with either. They’re both blocked on my PiHole, so I just get a DNS error when I accidentally click on links.
Even if it was fully operational, Western artillery used by Ukraine is more precise with longer range than Russian, so they can target the ruskies with less risk.
