Follow this GitHub rabbit hole, long story short it is no longer possible.

Growing up you’re told “If it don’t make dollars, it don’t make sense” and I think that sums up the answer to this question.

Stopped updating my iPhone 16 Pro in hopes of jailbreaking it one day, it would be nice to find a Linux phone as well someday with decent hardware.

Take that survey, express yourself

Hosting your own DNS resolver is quite simple. Suggest trying PiHole.

Oh I know, whenever he sends out an email for an update to the web-app I react with a “😢” in outlook every time because he’ll just push updates without having anyone test them.

This is not a software company at all, lately he decided to write his own PDF editor and switch out the one he found on GitHub for it, well the folks in the shop certainly weren’t happy to find out they couldn’t print drawings anymore or that mobile devices had poor compatibility with it.

I have been laughed out every time I’ve mentioned it for years.

I got approval from my managers and IT to install a Linux based OS on my work desktop, then a half-wit Windows-fanboy dev chimed in claiming our insurance would not cover the operating system if there were ever a security breach, data loss, etc. to say I was infuriated was an understatement.

All we use is a Web-App to accomplish our tasks, no in-house proprietary executables or anything along those lines, hell they claimed their Web-App wouldn’t work on Firefox browsers, which of course was a lie.

Only game I care about from Microsoft is Halo Wars 2. Shame it got released as a UWP application.

I also know there is a script you can set up which will handle the initial contact to federate automatically.

I tried finding such a script but had no luck. I was able to export my subscription list from sh.itjust.works and imported it on my instance.

I had to unsubscribe and resubscribe to the communities I follow as I was experiencing the ‘Subscribe Pending’ issue but after a little while things seemed to start evening out and becoming a bit more stable.

My instance has been online for about a month, the supplied docker-compose.yaml was quite straightforward, had a little headache with Nginx but nothing overly complicated.

The long-con so to speak is federation, you have to subscribe to each community manually to begin federating with them, i have noticed timing issues with other instances such as Lemmy.world and have not been able to resolve them.

Debian for everything.

Bought an Asus TUF laptop back in 2020? Maybe 2021, had a Ryzen 3750H and a 1660ti, at first it was great and was an improvement from my previous laptop but unfortunately barely lasted a year before the fan bearings started to give out and made terrible sounds, even after replacing the fans they barely lasted a month before going back to the horrid noises.

The thing struggles to keep itself cool. Doesn’t matter if it’s running Debian or Windows it was horrible to do literally anything without getting frustrated.

Eventually upgraded and gave it to a buddy who didn’t have a computer, thing still sucks as a daily driver and I definitely wouldn’t trust it in a server environment. The sounds of those fans still haunt me to this day.

Guess you won’t be making issues there for a while eh

I learned writing code for free, by looking at other code and reading online manuals.

I also learned how to play the piano by listening to people playing it and getting online sheet music for free.

Do you have a bot army that scrapes websites and repositories? Do you not give credit when credit is due? Do you poorly plagiarize work and claim it to be your own?

While I appreciate the learning aspect, the abuse of these LLM’s is blatantly clear.

Who cares?

The people who actually spent the time writing the code and documenting it, remember these LLM’s have to learn from somewhere.

A lot of repositories use the GPL license.

The GNU General Public Licenses are a series of widely used free software licenses. The GPL is a copyleft license, which means that it guarantees end users the freedom to run, study, share, or modify the software, but if you distribute a derivative work or modification, you must provide the source code to those recipients under the same or equivalent license terms — there is no requirement to publish anything to the public at large.

I doubt many LLM’s are sighting their sources or giving proper credit when they spit out code snippets.

What distro are you using? There are 3 big distro’s you need to keep in mind for, Debian, Arch and Fedora, every other distro typically bases themselves off of one of these big distro’s.

Documentation is your friend, if you’re using a Debian based distros the stress ng repository linked above has this in their documentation -

Debian packages for Ubuntu

Recent versions of stress-ng are available in the Ubuntu stress-ng ppa for various Ubuntu releases:

https://launchpad.net/~colin-king/+archive/ubuntu/stress-ng

(run the commands below to install the package)

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:colin-king/stress-ng
sudo apt update
sudo apt install stress-ng

Now that is installed, they have an examples section.

Examples

Run 8 CPU stressors for 60 seconds:

stress-ng --cpu 8 --timeout 60
stress-ng: info:  [184401] setting to a 1 min run per stressor
stress-ng: info:  [184401] dispatching hogs: 8 cpu
stress-ng: info:  [184401] skipped: 0
stress-ng: info:  [184401] passed: 8: cpu (8)
stress-ng: info:  [184401] failed: 0
stress-ng: info:  [184401] metrics untrustworthy: 0
stress-ng: info:  [184401] successful run completed in 1 min

Couple of definitions and examples that will help you along the way.

• Package = Software
• Dependencies = Xyz package depends on xyz package to function
• Package manager = The package used to install other packages (apt, yum, rpm, etc)
• Root user = User ID = 0 (UID) and Group ID = 0 (GID) otherwise known as the administrator account
• Root filesystem = the “/“ folder

If you really need to expose something to the internet set yourself up an SSO/OIDC provider and have it sit in front of the service and have a deny-first policy in place, whitelist the known few IP’s that need to connect regularly or alternatively geoblock.

Also suggest setting up some security headers, however headers can be confusing for beginners.
