Version 256 of systemd boasts '42% less Unix philosophy' ( www.theregister.com )
What's the most basic thing you can't do?
Is there any closed source android app that you wish had a good open source alternative?
I'm currently looking to develop an open source app that can help somebody. I'm currently out of ideas, so I'd like to heard if from you guys....
What's something weird and mostly useless that you can do with your body?
What you wish had an active community here on the lemmyverse?
Your favorite movie, series, or anything else really that you can't find a community here (or maybe it just doesn't exist)

r/sysadmin and the size of this community
So I have been a part of this community for a while and it seems pretty quiet. I know Lemmy is not as big as Reddit so this community will always be much smaller but I kind of miss the activity on r/sysadmin. Infinity for Reddit still works for view only so I have been scrolling though posts on Reddit as some of the stories and...
Nextcloud appreciation post
After months of waiting, I finally got myself an instance with Libre Cloud. I was expecting basic file storage with a few goodies but boy, this is soooo much more. I am amaze by how complete this is!!! Apps let me configure my instance to fit everything I need, my workflow is now crazy fast and I can finally say goodbye to...
What's the draw of watching/following streamers?
I've watched some here and there, but having to try to catch them when they stream has put me too much in the mind of old tv and catching shows when they air. Watching the recording afterward is maybe good for some white noise, but it's clearly not the intended experience I think.
Self Host Pen Testing
Anyone have any good external pen testing tools that you've used on your self hosted setup? Mine is pretty secure overall but I would like to be able to scan the WAN for vulnerabilities or misconfigurations just to make sure I haven't missed anything.
Any Ways to Block Twitch Ads?
Twitch has gotten insufferable with ads lately. Sometimes I'm getting 3mins straight of ads....
Video editor with the ability to filter out only a single person's voice?
I've recently done some talks for my schools cybersecurity club, and now I want to edit them....
How can I bypass CGNAT by using a VPS with a public IPv4 address?
I want to move away from Cloudflare tunnels, so I rented a cheap VPS from Hetzner and tried to follow this guide. Unfortunately, the WireGuard setup didn't work. I'm trying to forward all traffic from the VPS to my homeserver and vice versa. Are there any other ways to solve this issue?...

Linux distro for selfhosting server
So I have been running a fair amount of selfhosted services over the last decade or so. I have always been running this on a Ubuntu LTS distribution running on a intel NUC machine. Most, if not all of my services run in a docker container, and using a docker compose file that brings everything up. The server is headless. I...
Outlook (new) ( jlai.lu )
PSA: Docker nukes your firewall rules and replaces them with its own.
I use nftables to set my firewall rules. I typically manually configure the rules myself. Recently, I just happened to dump the ruleset, and, much to my surprise, my config was gone, and it was replaced with an enourmous amount of extremely cryptic firewall rules. After a quick examination of the rules, I found that it was...
Cloudflare Alternative
What do you guys use to expose private IP addresses to the web? I was using the npm proxy manager with Cloudflare CDN. However, it stopped working after I changed my router (I keep getting error 521). Looking for an alternative to Cloudflare cdn so I can access my media server/self-hosted services away from LAN....
NixOS As a replacement for active directory?
I have always been exposed to windows active directory with server controlled logins, server based "home" directories, etc. With the nature of NixOS it seems like it might be easy to deploy something similar by just setting up the configuration.nix as some sort of symlink to one stored on a central server. The only issue would...
zoom alternatives
are there any alternatives to zoom that have alot of features out of the box like live streaming to youtube support plus doesnt make you pay money to get extra features?
self-hosted/FOSS remote-access support gateway
One of the problems with having switched over a number of relatives to Linux is that I'm "the guy" when they have issues, and I can't always get over to help them in a timely manner. A lot of the time most stuff is working just fine and it's just a matter of popping into the desktop and fixing a bad link or a naughty plugin...
Why is jdownloader not available in most software managers?
Despite it being one of the most popular and feature rich download managers out there and it being foss, it seems that most repos don't have it ( except for flahub iirc)...
Microsoft Says VS Code Will Work With Ubuntu 18.04 ( www.linux-magazine.com )

Mozilla says Apple’s new browser rules are “as painful as possible” for Firefox ( www.theverge.com )
Mozilla is unhappy because the use of browser engines other than WebKit will be restricted to the EU, forcing them to develop two different apps....

Tailchat - The next-generation noIM Application in your own workspace ( tailchat.msgbyte.com )
Haven't seen much of this around, but I've spun my own instance up and suffice to say it fits my needs.
How was the Snowflake proxy used in 2023? ( forum.torproject.org )
We can also break down users by country. The largest contingent of Snowflake users are in Iran, which has been the case since the Mahsa Amini protests in 2022 1. The graph shows also a large number of users apparently from the United States, but we believe that may be partly the result of geolocation errors, and many of them are...
(Constructively) What is your least favorite distro & why?
I’ve been distrohopping for a while now, and eventually I landed on Arch. Part of the reason I have stuck with it is I think I had a balanced introduction, since I was exposed to both praise and criticism. We often discuss our favorite distros, but I think it’s equally important to talk about the ones that didn’t quite hit...
TIL about the existence of Wikipedia's Nearby page, a list of pages tagged with coordinates nearby where you are ( en.m.wikipedia.org )
Are there alternatives to google scholar and google patents?
Due to my line of work, I find myself having to use both these services frequently, despite avoiding google as much as I can. I see a lot of alternatives out there for internet searching, but when it comes to specific fields, alternatives tend to be scarce.
