  • Just saying: If you need a step for step tutorial to make something available worldwide, you shouldn’t.

    There is a reason why an apprenticeship for sysAdmin (not even going into software engeneering) is 3 years of school and work full time.

    Also, as someone who has actually gone into this kinda deep, it is simply not feasable to actively maintain your system for CVEs, hardware and software and still work AND have a social life.

    Also by hosting a social media site (its a peer after all) you need to abide by all kind of regulatory shit the moment you make it available for others to post there.



  • If you look at something like fedora images, its something like fedora Linux 7.13.1-201.x64.f44, And this only gets worse once you get to something like the surface kernel

    So probably it will shorten the names to something like Fedora Linux, but then you won’t know what you want to select if anything goes wrong

    What I mean is that boot managers are like static friction: it’s a theoretical thing that simply does not impact you as long as youre moving, until the moment you stop at which point it becomes real and starts pushing back as strongly as you configured them to be

    Just make your grub wait 3 secs before booting, it isn’t worth saving that one press on the enter key



  • I like being able to debug stuff.

    Windows nowadays does not provide any meaningful logs, so everyone in their forums and such is just guessing around why things won’t work.

    DirectSound libraries are missing? Install them via a sub menu of a sub menu of a really small text in the settings, wait 20 minutes for a „loading bar” telling you nothing, and guess what problem it had when it just told you no.

    Aside from all the bugs like the menu bar just not opening and preview updates being shown with the same size as regular updates (great because older people will just install those updates too)





  • I am indeed a gamer. I also prefer My software to not stop me from gaming.

    For example, 1/5 of my windows system is in Hungarian. This is a common problem when creating a windows iso. It is not possible to create one without leaving some trage of the last system behind. There is no fix to this.

    Here’s a list of the rest:

    • the N version without the stuff that would be illegal in Europe cannot install media codecs from windows itself (which I can’t game without)
    • the menu crashes and dosent return
    • their central repo is just as much a scam as simply using softonic or some other shady download site
    • Their Game Bar along with everything else can only be uninstalled via a shady script
    • I had to reinstall twice in a day because my system gets in a random.updating screen without me ever prompting it to update and never stopping until I force shut it down

    Or in your words: It can’t game if I install Windows (See point 1). Aren’t you a gamer??? How can’t you game without games?

    Or, to not kill the few remaining braincells of the people who still have some: I’d prefer to play 99% of my library without having an aneurism than 5 more games (like, fortnite, Arena Breakout Infinite, Tarkov (Delta force also, but that game is dead)



  • I have a multi monitor setup and regularly play helldivers, war thunder, etc on an rtx card on a display with gsync

    The games often have stuttering problems and behave generally unexpectedly when in full screen, and mouse capture dosent work, so 50% of the time I had to disable the monitor so it dosent go to the other screen and tab out of the game

    Tried on both endeavourOS and mint, so its probably a cinnamon thing

    I use it on my backup PC tho and never had a problem with normal applications, its great performance wise

    Fedora

    Used linux for 4 years now, I’ll list it and the reason why I switched

    • Ubuntu (snaps, etc)

    • arch (too much setup)

    • opensuse (nvidia drivers don’t get checked for size, broke my GUI many times

    • Gentoo (too much compile time)

    • bazzite (a bit boring)

    • fedora atomic (immutable, can’t get mullvad on it), still use on my htpc

    • mint (cinnamon DE is shit)

    • endeavour (its still arch)

    • fedora regular







  • People who sign these things know full well what they are doing

    FYI: tl;Dr version: there is a very good reason why System administration and integration is a 3 year long education, and trust me, from what I’ve seen you don’t meet that criteria.

    FYI: Long version. (Btw, I'm not working in the field, but I'm planning to, so please correct any misconceptions)

    The GDPR Exists, data protection laws exist, and it is your duty to inform other of what you are doing with that info, not the users. Premade docker images are shit for security, they are almost every time based on an old Version and such are vulnerable to Hacks like the SQL CVE just some Weeks ago. Your data will get leaked, your users data will get leaked, and you will be liable to all damage. If you want an alternative to the usual petition sites, you will also need to implement a working bot protection, trolls, etc, of which cloudflare or other CDNs will only do a fraction of. Your homelab needs to have a good uptime, regular sec updates, and competent security. Your own network will get ddosed as a result of the traffic, if you don’t have a good network plan. All of those are just a few things you have to think about when publishing to the internet, and which you apparently just don’t have the knowledge to do.




  • Just a heads up, you have apparently never helped any stranger.

    Once they know you can help for free, they will expect this of you all the time, for free.

    And the questions will be infuriating as ever. If you want to try it, just go to a beginners forum like gutefrage or your equivalent shitposting site and just answer every question on linux. No skipping.

    Trust me, or if you dont at least just get a second phone number for it so you dont have to migrate to a second one once you decided that it takes a way too big toll on your mental health
