Somewhere between Linux woes, gaming, open source, 3D printing, recreational coding, and occasional ranting.

🔗 Me, but elsewhere

  • Only fascist regimes ban books.

  • selfhost.eu offers dynamic DNS which works perfectly fine with my router, using their API access as documented by them. It also works perfectly well with Let’s Encrypt integrated in Nginx Proxy Manager.

    • can handle .at domains
    • is not Cloudflare
    • is registrar and name server
    • is European (Germany)
    • supports Nginx Proxy Manager

    They’re in the market since 2001, I use them since ca. 2010 and never had any issues. Their website looks ancient, almost historic. But it’s functional.

  • If it is stored in a cloud you cannot control this data is not safe at all.

  • You can easily remap it to something useful.

  • At this point I wonder if the last few months of systematically destructing the rest of Microsoft’s reputation is a false-flag action by Linux users who infiltrated the company.

  • AI bro’s “won” again.

  • My server's uptime is roughly the time between two kernel updates. On my desktop PC it's mostly 4-10 hours depending on what I do during the day.

  • Well—that is certainly a meticulous observation! 🔍

  • Someone else will continue selling RAM and making money.

  • The URLs mentioned in their blog article all have a wrong certificate (different host name).

    I am sure if they fix it Google’s system would reclassify the sites as safe.

  • has led to a lot of the same moderation rot on Lemmy

    Almost as if the platform wasn't the problem.

  • I have no problem with mid-tier hardware or even on the lower end. I had a Pixel 3 till it broke, and replaced it with a Pixel 7 Pro. My Laptop is 7, my desktop 10 years old.

    But I would not re-buy a Pixel 3 for the price of a Pixel 10 Pro, no matter how open the system is.

    (Which is funny, because the Google phones are best for running de-googled Android.)

  • All free phones I know so far are mid-to-low tier devices with a high-tier price tag. I hope the FSF will be able to either ramp up the specs to current standard (whenever “current” will be) or having a reasonable price.

  • FreeCAD: Pros: free, open source. Cons: workflow as rough as sandpaper, constantly crashes.

    It has a learning curve (like all software), yes. But I cannot confirm the crashes.

    • Mail with all the bells and whistles (been there, done that – but I just want this to work and not care about details).
    • Dynamic DNS because I just need to tell someone my non-static IP so they can connect that with my domain name.
  • Thanks! I just prefer simple UIs.

    Here’s a small one of how a website would look like.

    Here’s a larger one of how my new tab page looks like (including multiple tabs to show how the tab bar looks like).
