Totally not setting up a loophole to dictate what gets researched and making sure no inconvenient things gets discovered that would contradict the provinceās agenda and local industries negatively.
NGINX is also available at a mere 1kb in size for the slim version, full version also available as well as HAproxy. Those will have you more than covered, and support SSL.
Looks like thereās also acme.sh support, with a matching LuCI app that can handle your SSL certificate situation as well.
No but it does solve people not wanting to bother making an account for your effectively single-user self-hosted instance just to open a PR. I could be up and running in like 10 minutes to install Forgejo or Gitea, but who wants to make an account on my server. But GitHub, practically everyone has an account.
Small projects tend to not want to spin up infrastructure, but on GitHub you know your code will still be there 10 years later after you disappear. The same cannot be said of my Cogs instance and whatever was on it.
And overall, GitHub has been pretty good to users. No ads, free, pretty speedy, and a huge community of users that already have an account where they can just PR your repo. Nobody wants to make an account on some random dudeās instance just to open a PR.
Most VoIP providers have either an HTTP API you can hit and/or email to/from text.
Additionally, some carriers do offer an email address that can be used to send a text to one of their users but due to spam itās usually pretty restricted.
Carrier that accepts texts by email: Bell Canada accepts emails at NUMBER@txt.bell.ca and deliver it as SMS or MMS to the number. Or at least they used to, I canāt find current documentation about it and that feels like something that would be way too exploitable for spam.
Hello, Iām relatively new to self-hosting and recently started using Unraid, which I find fantastic! Iām now considering upgrading my storage capacity by purchasing either an 8TB or 10TB hard drive.

The concern for the specific disk technology is usually around the use case. For example, surveillance drives you expect to be able to continuously write to 24/7 but not at crazy high speeds, maybe you can expect slow seek times or whatever. Gaming drives I would assume are disposable and just good value for storage size as you can just redownload your steam games. A NAS drive will be a little bit more expensive because itās assumed to be for backups and data storage.
That said in all cases if you use them with proper redundancy like RAIDZ or RAID1 (bleh) itās kind of whatever, you just replace them as they die. Theyāll all do the same, just not with quite the same performance profile.
Things you can check are seek times / latency, throughput both on sequential and random access, and estimated lifespan.
I keep hearing good things about decomissioned HGST enterprise drives on eBay, theyāre really cheap.
This isnāt me asking for help or anything, I already replaced it with fedora kinoite. I just felt like talking about this ridiculous venture of mine....
EndeavourOS is an Arch-based distro that provides an Arch experience without the hassle of installing it manually for x86_64 machines. After installation, youāre provided with a lightweight and almost bare-bones environment ready to be explored with your terminal, along with our home-built Welcome App as a powerful guide to help you along.
If you want Arch with actual training wheels you probably want Manjaro or at least a SteamOS fork like Chimera/HoloISO.
It probably would have been much smoother with an actual beginner friendly distro like Nobara and Bazzite, or possibly Mint/Pop for a more classic desktop experience.
Itās not perfect and still has woes but OP fell for Arch with a fancy graphical installer, it still comes with the expectation of the user being able to maintain an Arch install.
EndeavourOS isnāt a gaming distro itās just an Arch installer with some defaults. Itās still Arch and comes with Archās woes. Itās not a beginner friendly just works kind of distro.
Coming from kionite, youād probably want Bazzite if you want a gaming distro: itās also Fedora atomic with all the gaming stuff added.
It would be nice if theyād make āwebā search the good old keyword search we used to have that made Google good, now that normies will just use the AI search and it doesnāt have to care about natural language anymore.

Arch. That leads me to believe itās possibly a configuration issue. Mine is pretty barebones, itās literally just that one file.
AFAIK the ones in sddm.conf.d are for useful because the GUI can focus on just one file without nuking other userās configurations. But they all get loaded so it shouldnāt matter.
The linked bug report seems to blame PAM modules, kwallet in particular which I donāt think Iāve got configured for unlock at login since thereās no password to that account in the first place.
ActivityPub makes this impossible. Everything on the fediverse is completely public, including votes, subscriptions and usernames. Even if Lemmy did offer the option, other servers wouldnāt necessarily.
And honestly this is a system that would be mainly used for spam and hate speech anyway. Just make a throwaway like everywhere else.
Kbin is an example. But just due to the nature of the protocol, it has to be stored somewhere but Lemmy also just lets admins view all the individual votes directly in the UI.
I like how the low cost airlines known for charging for everything like Southwest arenāt listed there. Itās almost like people are okay with fees when theyāre clearly outlined and have a clear choice.

Still report as well, it sends emails to the mods and the admins. Just make sure itās identifiable at a glance, like just type āCSAMā or whatever 1-2 words makes sense. You can add details after to explain but it needs to be obvious at a glance, and also mods/admins can send those to a special priority inbox to address it as fast as possible. Having those reports show up directly in Lemmy makes it quicker to action or do bulk actions when thereās a lot of spam.
Itās also good to report it directly into the Lemmy admin chat on Matrix as well afterwards, because in case of CSAM, everyone wants to delete it from their instance ASAP in case it takes time for the originating instance to delete it.
I got in some hot water a while back for admitting I was relatively unconcerned with Republican villainy these days compared to other worries. This Canada Online Harms Act, whose details I missed earlier (apologies to Public and Yuri Bezmenov!), perfectly embodies the kind of thing that keeps me up at night now....
Genuine political dissent would become logistically impossible, and virtual mob rule a certainty.
Thereās a major difference between political dissent and hate speech.
You can say: āI donāt think transgender people should be allowed to choose which bathroom they go toā, that just makes you a shitty person with no compassion. But if you say āIf I see a trans women in the mens bathroom Iāll beat them up out of thereā, that is very clearly hate speech and threats of violence.
Itās not like itās hard to treat people with basic respect. You can disagree without resorting to hateful comments and threats and name calling. If you donāt see the hate speech problem youāre probably part of the problem because surprise, itās only conservatives you see online constantly spewing FUD and hate speech.
Yāa pas mal de gens qui passent beaucoup plus de temps sur Internet quāils le devraient, depuis la COVID. Et ce sont effectivement beaucoup de gens qui ne pensent quāĆ leur nombril.
I would argue Ubuntu kinda sucks, but it sucks in a familiar windows-y kind of way where pretty much everyone knows how to fix it or make it work usually by blindly executing stuff. Not great, but it works, and it doesnāt require much thinking. Ubuntu is pretty much the only distro you can find your way without caring what a distro is just by the pile of tutorials for Ubuntu or assuming Ubuntu. Case in point: Linus from LTT when he tried to apt install steam on Manjaro, after nuking his entire DE on Pop_OS using the same command. Itās entirely his fault, but thatās still a common and frustrating experience and they add up.
Same reason sometimes I just tell people honestly, just stick with Windows. Linux would be a good fit, it would be way better, but theyāre not willing or accepting of the learning curve. Sometimes youāre just better sticking with what most people use, so everyone knows how to fix your problems.

Check the logs, but itās probably related to the deprecation of compression. OpenVPN 2.6 now requires a flag client-side to enable it as it is known to be the cause of too many vulnerabilities.
