Idk. Yet, I have recently found out that some are able to measure Capacitance. I think those are useful, since many times a repair work is about replacing a fat capacitor. But I am quite a neophyte on regards to electronics… Take this with a grain of salt.

Hey hello, self-hosting noob here. I just want to know if anyone would know a good way to host my writing. Something akin to those webcomic sites, except for writing. Multiple stories with their own “sections” (?) and a chapter selection for each. Maybe a home page or profile page to just briefly detail myself or whatever, I...
This is good advice. Learn about markdown syntax, try Obsidian to write notes that can be interrelated in a network, add drawings, and export selected notes to HTML. You can further stylize all of them with some custom CSS. There are many “content management system” (CMS) like Obsidian does. I’d self host ghostwriter. But just search for a CMS on awesome self hosted list and find something popular that’s akin to you for whatever features or underlying tech (e.g. Wagtail for django web devs)
I’m just curious as I’ve permanently dedicated my laptop to torrenting. I’ve been too nervous to install anything but the VPN and Firefox on it. Now, I’m curious to mess around with Linux some more, which is what I use on it, but I can’t fully test out what all I can do with it without signing into accounts....
How about installing RustDesk server con the laptop? Have you heard about Docker and self-hosting? That’s a fun rollercoaster surrounded by rabbit holes ;P GL, HF.
Hi everybody! For my OPNsense router (on a VM on Proxmox) I need a 2,5Gbe card (to connect to the ONT of my provider); I only have 2 PCIe 3.0 x1 or 1 x4 because the only x16 is for a dual SFP+ fiber card....
I like the fact that my Android phone records my location timeline from Google Maps, but the fact that this is stored in Google servers creeps me out....
Been there, the issue I encountered is that most other apps would rely on active GPS and drain battery with it. Also, not many apps can access the GPS without a prompt, at least on xiaomi I had that… Maybe it’s something to do with their OS customization… Anyway, Ideally you’d like to access in intervals and only wake GPS if other means (e.g. WLAN passive scan of surrounding SSIDs, like google services does) lack certain accuracy.
Many people struggle with usability. It’s easy to set things up to get them started, and then you can showcase their use-case. Of course, they need to understand limitations (together with advantages, which you will showcase for sure). The issue is that you might end up providing long term support for them, and you can get tired of it. That’s why is good to do this kind of things in community, I have participated in a hacklab and we wrote zines too. This also helped homogenize what we shared and supported, because everyone has their own taste and FLOSS is all about flavors (which is great, but also brings complications)
Oh, one more thing I deem relevant. I have seen many people break this rule: don’t recommend software you never used. Go for stable apps that have been long established on whatever their use-case is. The bleeding edge (and hype) can be lethal to newcomers!
Discussion between fellow “expert” hackers about why the latest new distro bundling x, y, and z apps is so cool is one thing and should be differentiated from promoting the adoption of, say, Debian or MX Linux.
