Super Mega Ultra Edition DX Unleashed 64

At this point, if I didn’t build it and install the OS, it isn’t secure enough for my home.

I give the warning before I’m handed the laptop. I’ve done three in the family, all Linux Mint XFCE, I never hear any complaints. Shit just works.

A dns server knows what and where things are. That’s its only real job, to tell who’s asking where say, http://eff.org/ is.

“Ay homie, where’s https://eff.org/?”

over here - 173.239.79.200

“thanks, bud!”

The issue is, the dns server you use by default is under the control of whoever your provider is, and as a result, they get all of your dns lookups like the example above as well as every porn site, every piracy site, everywhere.

Installing your own, or simply moving to one your provider has no business with like 9.9.9.9 can help keep your dns queries more private, go a step further and use encrypted dns, as many providers supply, and you’ll be even further covered.

Installing your own, however, comes with the added perk of being able to apply your own dns entries. Suddenly local addresses can have custom names without ever touching a hosts file. Neat! Use DNS certs and you’ve got local SSL!

I would go find something applicable to feed you for a dns 101, but my old resources don’t exist. I just know stuff from years of doing it and failing over and over until things work.

It opened the door to pihole and unbound, then dns certs, man… everything’s so nice now lol

I hosted shit for about ten years before really understanding how local dns worked.

Imagine a primitive society that discovered literally every major modern scientific achievement, but somehow missed the wheel. That’s basically how my first setup went lol.

car revs like a V10

<_< solar my ass

I’d be careful not to stomp on any hospitals, schools, or daycares, I’d hate to sink to their level.

Here I thought I blocked telemetry.

If this never happened, my day would’ve been 2% better.

Still, though. I frowned for at least two or three minutes.

I don’t expect the majority to do anything, but I also don’t think Lemmy needs them to validate its existence. We validate it just fine already.

People need to change their ideas about what the fedi/threadiverse is in relation to social media. It is an international forum of everything.

The lemmy.ml situation is heavily offset by instances that either limit them or block them enitrely, as well as Piefed acting as a direct foil.

The *iverse cannot be unified entirely. Lemmy/Piefed/Mastodon and Pixelfed should be seen as a platform unto themselves where one may find likeminded people. It is not tailored to anyone’s particular personal taste, and is open to anyone of literally any personal taste.

Lemmy does have a bit of a reputation for being the Fight Club of the fediverse… which is tbh, kinda fair but it kinda comes with the territory - literally. We’re all here and we aren’t all going to agree.

I have messed with it as a notebook, and yeah there’s no palm protection, I did have some luck plopping a thin notebook under my palm to keep it from triggering it while writing but the novelty worn off.

linux-surface works well enough for me to turn comics pages and giggle like a kid using OpenComic, but I haven’t extensively tested Krita, no, not much of an artist.

We’re all mad here

I have a 7 with Cachy KDE on it. It’s my usual go-to for “I need a screen”.

Camping? Instant movie. Bored? Instant comics/manga. Surface tablets rock Linux.

A high 7 or 8, not quite full-blown lolcow but just barely.

Awesome!

Real Time Strategy

Alright lemmy, tell me how vibecoded this is and whether I should or shouldn’t use it.
