Like most people, I entered COVID as a normal hobby geek with a Linux server I played around with and a healthy hardware habit with a side of home automation and DD-WRT. I emerged from COVID enrolled in college, now with two servers (one new build, one rebuilt from my first one), two Pi, multiple instances of Home Assistant (one...
Beagleboards are great. Good Support and nice community. Nearly as good as Pi. I used BBB because it was the only open hardware SBC available in my area.
BTW: Please recommend me other good Open Hardware/Open Firmware SBCs. I am always looking for something new. Maybe for a Router or Selfmade-NAS.
I don’t mean system files, but your personal and work files. I have been using Mint for a few years, I use Timeshift for system backups, but archived my personal files by hand. This got me curious to see what other people use. When you daily drive Linux what are your preferred tools to keep backups? I have thousands of...
i would go for the most used routers because they have the best support. look at the download statistics to get an idea of which ones are the most popular routers atm.
I just bought a used Archer C7 v2 because its popular and i could get it cheap in my area.
I have an old Subnotebook (at least 10 years old I think) which runs Windows 7 atm. I would like to run Linux on it. I‘m a Linux noob, but would like to try and learn a few things. Any recommendations?
Nach dem Reddit aus (für mich) hat es mich interessiert, wie es mittlerweile auf 9GAG aussieht. Damals habe ich 9GAG gelöscht, weil es zuviele Überschneidungen mit Reddit gab. Heute sieht es aus den ersten Blick ähnlich aus, 9GAG ähnelt stark dem Reddit Popular Feed, aber wenn man die Kommentare öffnet wird man zu 90% mit...
DNSCrypt is a pretty solid solution. The next best thing would be dns-over-https. You could use dnscrypt-proxy with any non-logging dnscrypt or dns-over-https server. Here is a list of Public servers.
when you are used to reddit its not easy to make yourself feel at home in fediverse. The Lemmy themes dont look to good on widescreens.
I can recommend kbin with rounded corners + Stylus add-on with "kbin-it theme" activated.
I'm currently on Win11 but I'm getting that familiar Linux itch and want to dual boot a while again. I tend to gravitate towards Ubuntu simply because it's so big and well supported by most things....
For me flair is probably the most important. I follow a lot of organized sports and being able to quickly identify which team someone supports helps the conversation move along without having to write "as a fan of..." in every single comment. And this isn't a like talking shit, sports guy thing. It's genuinely extremely useful...
Das Problem haben sehr viele Einsteiger. Es liegt m. E. daran das Linux-Einsteigern so häufig "Rolling Release" Distributionen empfohlen werden.
Die Perfekte Distro gibt es nicht, aber probiere mal Debian Stable (derzeit Releasename "Bookworm") oder Ubuntu LTS. Einmal eingerichtet laufen diese Systeme ewig und völlig zuverlässig.
Die dt. Community von Ubuntuusers Wiki hat mir am Anfang sehr geholfen.
The RedReader app has been given accessibility status by the graciousness of reddit and will not have to shut down. The dev is not particularly happy about how fellow devs were treated though and still plans on adding lemmy in future. Read the announcement here
I've noticed a minor issue when trying to subscribe to a Lemmy community. On the Lemmy instance, the link format for a Community starts with an exclamation mark ("!"), instead of the "@" used here and across other services like Mastodon....
Some communitys even cant be found when changing "!" with "@". For example "privatelife@lemmy.ml" or "libreboot@sopuli.xyz". Looks like a bug in kbin. I opened an Issue here: https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core/issues/45
I have tried them all. The one wo never let me down was Debian stable. I use it for 8 years now on desktop, gaming rig and server.
The ones that come close are Alpine Linux and Ubuntu LTS.
I’m a firm believer that inching towards a more private life and future is a good thing in and of itself. However, I also believe that striving for a healthy social life and finding individual happiness is very important....
For a while now I've been quite happy running LibreWolf, with Bitwarden and some other privacy extensions. I've also switched over from Google to Kagi as a search engine; doesn't keep me anonymous, but I do love not being the product for once.

So far, for me, liftoff and connect seems the most complete.

Best DNS for privacy?
I read a bit about using a different DNS for Privacy and I think the best one should be quad9? Or is there anything better except self hosting a DNS?
I don’t understand people who say they can’t figure out Lemmy or KBin
Does federation have a bit of a learning curve? No doubt....

What KDE or QT apps do you love that aren't well known?
My personal favorite is Strawberry Music Player. Especially if it's compiled using QT5 (for KDE 5).
I got a lemmy account and a kbin account while deciding what i like best. Since I'm new to this i'm having trouble searching and "subscribing" lemmy communities while on kbin and viceversa. Can someone please help me with this issue?
Second time doing this because I made a "post" the first time, I feel kinda lost to be honest.
