My daily driver laptop, home servers, media center, NAS, etc are all Linux.

My gaming computer isn’t – as much as I would like it to be. There are certain things (particularly VR) that don’t want to work well in Linux.

Theft, rape, and murder are “natural” too.

Netbooks need to come back with modern hardware.

If I need an ultra-portable computer one in a usable form factor would be amazing.

Normally when you’re on a VPN all the network traffic to and from your device is going through the connection to the VPN server, e.g. browsing the internet, online games, etc. It can cause issues with other online services and uses bandwidth (cheap as it is) many VPS provider charges for.

A split tunnel tells the VPN client to only send certain traffic through the tunnel. My wireguard setup assigns IP addresses for the VPN interfaces in the subnet 192.168.2.x, so only traffic addressed to IPs on that subnet get sent through the tunnel. In wireguard it’s a single line in the config file:

AllowedIPs = 192.168.2.0/24

I’m in the same situation.

Fortunately there’s a million companies that offer VPS with a static IP address for only few bucks a month. I set one up to run a wireguard VPN server which all my devices and home servers connect to as clients. I also configured everything to use a split tunnel to save bandwidth.

It’s an added layer of security too.

They almost certainly have in house legal teams and those lawyers are salaried.

You know it’s bad when you recognize the user name.

Even if there were no bots and it was only “real” content from Threads … is that the sort of content we want to have Lemmy flooded with?

Another mirror has the original comments. They’re exactly what you’d expect from 2001.

… I thought Lunix was invented by the infamous Soviet computer hacker Linyos Torovoltos.

Like my distro?

So a tiara, duster jacket, kilt, one “stiletto pump” shoe, one wellington boot – and a roll’s worth of duck tape. Got it.

I have a question for the group. I do run Linux on a ThinkPad, but it’s Mint/KDE on an X1 carbon I bought new.

My question is: what’s the dress code here? Do I actually need to buy programming socks and a skirt? Can I get away with just wearing ribbed, white athletic socks and cargo shorts? Business casual?

Defense in depth – maybe I’m paranoid, but just because something is unlikely doesn’t mean an extra layer of security isn’t advantageous. Particularly when I already have a VPN, so there’s little reason not to use it.

Plus, my logs are easily checked as a side effect.

I don’t get why people leave interfaces the public doesn’t need access to open to the public – especially SSH.

Use a VPN if you need access to those interfaces from the “outside”. They’re stupidly easy to set up these days, particularly with Wireguard.

I was working with a buddy on a “startup” that was more of a hobby than anything (and didn’t go anywhere). The early prototypes were controlled by Arduino and Pis early on – ease of software development was key as we experimented with and dialed in the hardware. The later prototypes used an ESP32 though, because we’re aren’t idiots.

I’m a hobbyist at best: it kills me that there are well paid “professional embedded software engineers” out there that can’t work with actual embedded hardware. All I could think of was this article on electrical engineers that can’t solder. The complete lack of real world, hands on experience with the hardware blows my mind.

I wouldn’t go that far, but he does make great indie music
