Most desktop environments you just hit alt+f2 to activate the launcher which lets you run any command you want

I mean it is possible to run your own authoritative nameservers on a server you own with a static IP. It’s a pretty irresponsible thing to self host, but it is possible :)

The biggest reason they’ve been tightly coupled historically has been event notifications and invitations. It’s a lot easier for one email client to both create the event in the calendar, and send the event metadata (.ics file) to the invitees.

Nowadays, it’s honestly much simpler to have them entirely separate, at least for personal use. My partner and I use a shared NextCloud calendar which works well on both iOS and Android using CalDAV. Much simpler than Google/microsoft/icloud’s sharing options.

You can use pretty much any camera with ZoneMinder as long as it supports ONVIF or RTSP and has the right connectivity and power inputs for you. I did something similar with some cheap TP-link cameras with pretty good results. With motion activated recording, I have just shy of 12 month of recordings stored on a 500G SSD.

I use plain old bash with the plain old .bashrc that ships with Debian. I’ll bolt on a git-branch-aware function into the prompt here and there, but that’s about it.

Why? I ssh into a few dozen machines most days and my shitty little lizard brain can’t deal with everything being different on each box. So as much as I appreciate zsh, powerline plug-ins, all that glitzy stuff, I’ll be a late adopter when it comes to plain old Debian stable…

Or, hear me out, maybe we don’t expose network management interfaces to untrusted networks? Sure, shit can still get breached by very deep intrusions, but at least you don’t show up on shodan!?

I’ll never participate in one of the “master race” communities because of the chronically icky association with fash shit. I get it, it’s an old reddit-ey joke from like 2011, but it’s undeniable that the name has a very strong undertone of white supremacy.

Moving away from the incumbent social networks is our chance to create a new culture without that baggage.

Bioweapons are essentially a solved problem already, “AI” or not. In the mid 20th century the USSR had enough weapons manufacturing capability through Biopreparat to kill every human on the planet in less than 30 days. In the 1920s France had enough poison gasses to kill every inhabitant of Europe at the time. America and Russia each still have enough thermonuclear warheads to kill 95% of the earth’s population in under 30 minutes. None of these are new technologies, literally all of this technology is 50-75 years old and hasn’t developed much since because you can’t do any better than “total annihilation”.

The modern stuff uses signed bootloaders, ie secureboot. Afaik there’s no custom OS’s for C9k or Nexus gear.

SPAN port on the switch, send it all into a server running Suricata which can analyze, classify, and log all the traffic. Don’t run it in IPS mode online unless you’re willing to suffer a little…

Device sync to nextcloud -> rsync data & db onto NAS -> nightly backup to rsync.net and quarterly offsite/offline HDD swaps.

I also copy Zoneminder recordings, configs, some server logs, and my main machine’s ~/ onto the NAS.

The offsite HDD is just a bog standard USB 4TB drive with one big LUKS2 volume on it.

It’s all relatively simple. It’s easy to complicate your backups to the point where you rely on Veeam checkpointing your ESXI disks and replicating incrementals to another device that puts them all back together… but it’s much better to have a system that’s simple and just works.

Yeah it works surprisingly well. I installed Gentoo on a 2005 era laptop a few years ago and had to keep adding zswap until Rust could compile for Firefox. Iirc it took about 12G of zswap to get it working, but it wasn’t too bad overall.

Yeah, this has nothing to do with encryption, it’s because they refuse to have a support division that would be able to get people back into their accounts.

Honestly, you’re not going to have a lot of luck with recent games. The sandybridge i5’s were great back in the day but their time has come. I had a 2600 for a looong time but it’s been out to pasture for a couple years now.

Check out the “patientgamers” communities, they like to play older games that would run a lot smoother on your hardware.

Best bet would be to setup postfix or opensmtpd as an open relay. Just make sure it is only accessible in trusted networks though!!

You’d want to set the listen address to 0.0.0.0 and use a non-loop back interface.

Heh, people from 50 years ago hearing that my job is terraforming using Hashicorp equipment would be very disappointed.

Not sure about this, the lighting is very different from the ones taken of the guys who got booked yesterday.

Isn’t that the entire point of pre-trial detention?

If it was installed with tasksel that would be a good way to remove any dependancies like lightdm as well.
