  • what is lemmy basically ?

    Jump

  • From a user experience its a social media site, like reddit.

    And an ELI5 for the technical parts:

    • It is decentralized which means that no single company owns the whole thing. Anyone can set up a server.
    • it is also federated which means that servers can communicate with each other. I am able to see your post even though my server is programming.dev, your server is floss.social, and you posted on lemmy.ml.

  • 17,000,000 GrubHub passwords and other data exposed, hackers claim

    Jump

  • Even if it was github, they have mandatory 2fa now which would help. Still some risks for people who reuse passwords on other services or if their 2fa got compromised (sim swaps), etc but wouldn't be full blown catastrophic

  • What bios settings do I need to change before installing Linux?

    Jump

  • Nope. They are separate security features so you can use them independently or together. LUKS does disk encryption whereas secure boot verifies the digital signatures of boot loaders/kernels

  • Radicle is an open source, peer-to-peer code collaboration stack built on Git

    Jump

  • What is the relationship between Radicle and the Radworks ($RAD) token?

    Radicle is a true peer-to-peer protocol. It doesn’t use nor depend on any blockchain or cryptocurrency.

    Radworks, the organization that has been financing Radicle is organized around the RAD token which is a governance token on Ethereum.

    From the FAQ in case it's relevant to anyone

  • Definitely didn't waste half an hour making this

  • Is there a FOSS Linkedin alternative?

    Jump

  • This is what i did. There are many static website generators that can help. I use Hugo which let's me write in markdown, download themes (modify if i want), and it builds the site which can be hosted for free on codeberg/cloudflare/gitlab/github 'pages' feature. All support letting you use custom domain if you have one.

  • Is there a FOSS Linkedin alternative?

    Jump

  • Codeberg pages comes to mind (for a simple personal site anyway)

  • A collaborative note taking, wiki and documentation that scales. Built with Django and React. Opensource alternative to Notion or Outline.

    Jump

  • Looks fairly impressive, including live collaboration

  • What projects does the opensource world lack

    Jump

  • I use hyprland and can bind stuff through their config, whether that is some library functions or executing a script i wrote. I'm sure there are other ways to do similar with different desktop environments.

  • Liberapay might interest you. Not quite the same but maybe close enough

  • It you're looking for ideas-- Something you're passionate about. Find a problem you're having, fix it, and make it open source. That's the best way to make sure whatever you do doesn't get abandoned. Good luck

  • Info on quitting Github (owned by Microsoft)

    Jump

  • Any nice playbook or tutorial to host a static website from home?

    Jump

  • This is something that doesn't really need to be self hosted unless you're wanting the experience. You just need:

    1. Static website builder. I use hugo but there's a few others like jekyll, astro
    2. Use a git forge (github, gitlab, codeberg).
    3. Use your forges Pages feature, there's also cloudflare pages. Stay away from netlify imo. Each of these you can set up to use your own domain

    So for my website i just write new content, push to my forge, and then a pipeline builds and releases the update on my website.

    Where self hosting comes into play is that it could make some things with static websites easier, like some comment systems, contact forms, etc. But you can still do all of this without self hosting. Comments can be handled through git issues (utteranc.es) and for a contact form i use 'hero tofu' free tier. In the end i don't have to worry about opening access to my ports and can still have a static website with a contact form. All for free outside of cost of domain.

  • Immich: opinion revised

    Jump

  • Im not familiar with doku wiki but here's a few thoughts

    • privacy policy is good to have regardless of what you do with rest of my comments
    • your site is creating a cookie "dokuwiki" for user tracking.
    • cookie is created regardless of user agreement, rather than waiting for acceptance (implied or explicit agreement). As in i visit the page, i click nothing and i already have the dokuwiki cookie.
    • i like umami analytics for a cookieless google analytics alternative. They have a generous free cloud option for hobby users and umami is also self hostable. Then you can get rid of any banner.

  • On Linux, what's the best way to convert a onenote.zip notebook to markdown or html?

    Jump

  • The best way i found was obsidians import which was what i was trying to avoid. I was making standalone markdown files and after the import i needed to do some cleaning since obsidian or onenote did OCR on the images to create alt text but quotes in the alt text broke image links.

  • Difference between Github, Gitlab, Forgejo ?

  • Manjaro Linux 25.0 Coming Along With Updated Desktops, Btrfs Filesystem By Default

    Jump

  • What is the point in being Archbased and only now supporting Btrfs out the box?

    It sounds like ext4 is still an option during install, the change is just that the default filesystem is btrfs.

  • Can we please, PLEASE for gods sake just all agree that arch is not and will never be a good beginner distro no matter how many times you fork it?

    Jump

  • Is Arch Linux the right fit for a newbie to Linux? The right answer is "it depends", not "never". Would I recommend Arch to my mom? No. Would I recommend it to my programmer colleague who already lives in the Powershell? Sure, why not.

    Yup, i had a lot of people tell me that arch wasn't a good beginner distribution, and had some friends try to talk me out of it. But i was planning to move to Linux for over a year and had set up Linux servers in the past. Just hadn't used one for my main PC. I've been on arch for over a month and it's been fine. I still wouldn't recommend it to every beginner but I'm not going to say it's never appropriate.
