    Do you know any tricks to disenshittify a work computer?

    Jump

  • Parents opt kids out of school laptops, ask for pen-and-paper

    Jump

  • Kids are already coming out of school computer illiterate. They know how to use specific applications, but don't know things like directory hierarchy. Onboarding young people into working with general office productivity like SharePoint, or giving them a real grown up laptop instead of an ipad is like teaching boomers to open PDFs all over again. All the same old training and helpdesk calls.

    the solution is the same as it was 30 years ago: computer class where they deep dive into how the things work, not just how Microsoft and Apple decide the things are used.

  • Installing self-hostable services on a cloud server isn't self-hosting ???

    Jump

  • Woah TIL that because I'm admin, I'm self hosting an entire enterprise of nearly 50,000 users.

  • Is there a way to install Windows 11, somewhat bloatware/AI free? (It's for college.)

    Jump

  • The most correct answer so far is Win11 IoT. But there's a good chance it won't have enough "windows" for your school needs.

    If you're just trying to get work done and not trying to stick it to the man with the purity test that this thread seems to insist upon, you can install normally and force an offline user. (Microsoft keeps threatening to kill this capability, it still worked last time I tried early last year.)

    Then run Chris Titus debloat utility before you set up anything else.

    If you don't have a registration, you can activate it with massgrave.dev.

  • Securing traffic between a proxy and a backend over a VPN. How do you get a certificate for an internal domain?

    Jump

  • Self signed for this use case is fine. you know and trust both ends of your connection, and no one else needs to know or trust either end of the connection.

  • Tuvix - Self-Hosted RSS Aggregator

    Jump

  • lol I started to reply, suggesting a recommendation feature to help find non-algorithmic tech feeds but then realized that's exactly how all this started.

  • Tuvix - Self-Hosted RSS Aggregator

    Jump

  • While I support the idea of using RSS readers to break free from algorithmic and/or AI curated feeds, I've mostly stopped bothering, since all the content that gets into the feeds has become algorithmic, AI slop.

    There's just no escaping it these days.

  • Termix 1.8.0 has been released.

    Jump

  • missing a way to find out what they do without installing them

    At the very top of the project page it says:

    Termix is a web-based server management platform with SSH terminal, tunneling, and file editing capabilities.

    Now you know what it does without installing it

    Is self-hosting becoming too gatekept by power users?

    Jump

  • You're confusing a lack of handholding with gatekeeping.

    beginner friendly solution, something with a UI, fewer manual configs...

    First, you're not entirely right. you can get a ton of self hosting done with things like Synology or Home assistant, and never see the complexity. You might get owned by a botnet, but it "works."

    Self hosting securely has a steep learning curve, there's no way around that. What you're asking for is for someone to write programs that'll let you skip the learning curve.

    GitHub is littered with abandoned attempts at doing this. You bury your lede by mentioning "your project" at the end. It's your project going to be another well intentioned attempt that's eventually abandoned or causes more problems than it solves?

  • The PowerShell Manifesto Radicalized Me

    Jump

  • in Powershell, yes. the cmdlet naming convention is Verb-CamelCase.

    Only specific verbs are allowed as well. It works if the convention is broken, but it'll complain when you import them as a module.

  • Why Trump hijacked the .gov domain

    Jump

  • it does not.

    .gov.fr. is a subdomain of .fr., unrelated to .gov..

  • SearXNG doesn't load the settings ...

    Jump

  • At some point you had to learn all about debugging the overly-complicated and annoying OS that runs your full installs, didn't you?

  • SearXNG doesn't load the settings ...

    Jump

  • per the searxng container instructions:

    Understanding container architecture basics is essential for properly maintaining your SearXNG instance. This guide assumes familiarity with container concepts and provides deployment steps at a high level.

    The fact that you're logging into your container to manually edit your config hints that you need to read more about managing containers.

    Make sure you're editing the file that you're mounting on the host, and edit it from the host.

    Have you checked the actual log with podman logs? It'll tell you what it's doing about its config.

  • Tape drive backups

    Jump

  • Why do tape drives seen to be best? What's your use case? They're still used in enterprise environments because they're insanely dense compared to hard disks, and it's real easy to load a truck with a few petabytes to ship elsewhere. Is that what you need? Density? Seems like not for just a few gigs.

    If you want backups you need to ship your media, tapes or otherwise, off-site.

    Pop your files into a cloud service and call it done. If you're looking for long term archives and don't want to use other people's computers, burn some DVDs and store them at someone else's house.

  • Which would give me more opportunities, studying devops or networks?

    Jump

  • Devops will have more job openings, network will have a higher salary, especially as you become more senior.

    Devops people who don't know networking and/or general traditional sysadmin work are a crushing pain in the ass for those of us who have to support them though. Networking background will make you better at devops, but not necessarily vice versa.

  • Basic networking/subnetting question.

    Jump

  • no. Arp bridges layer 1 and 2. It's switch local. With a VLAN, it becomes VLAN local, in the sense that 802.1q creates a "virtual" switch.

  • Basic networking/subnetting question.

    Jump

  • Broadcast traffic (such as DHCP) doesn't cross subnets without a router configured to forward it. It's one of the reasons subnets exist.

    Anyone know of self-hostable security cameras?
