Imagine if some big influencers like him switched to peertube, that would be quiet a thing indeed.

I did something very similar via netcup tiny vps, nginx and wireguard. I could post my setup notes tomorrow if someone needs them.

Your story reminds me of diving a French car for the first time. No knob or lever can be found in the usual spaces and in the end you always end up giving a turn signal when you try to use the windscreen wiper.

I am using the German QWERTZ most of the time and found the layout rather reasonable. I once tried to learn the neo layout which had the most used letters on the middle row, but you really only can use that at home so I stopped after a week or two as it did not really seemed worth the effort.

You forgot the number one rule about the usenet: you don’t talk about the usenet.

It’s true there are a lot of better alternatives to jami when it comes to privacy/security: Here’s a good comparison table:

I saw your conversation on the simracing-channel and there seems to be some progress. I just realized from my notes that my handbrake does not cause any issues under linux even if it looks the same as yours. (They must have implemented the software differently on mine). I had to make some adjustments for the pedals and H-shifter but not the handbrake and just misremembered, sorry. Protopedal is what I used to get around the bug in proton, though. I think proton does not recognize a usb device as controller, if it does not have a certain number of buttons and/or axes.

I am glad to hear you got it to work! I think I took notes on how I got it to work. But I remember having also added a similar rule as you did at some point. I may be able to find my notes tomorrow.

I am pretty sure you need to configure more (fake) buttons for the handbrake, I had the same problem. Otherwise it does not get recognized as a gaming device.

I can look up later how I solved this or you can ask the simracing linux community, which helped me with a couple of similar pronlems before:

Yeah, a sff mini pc draws below 10 W on idle, so the math is about right, even if a gaming PC can also draw as low as 40 Watt on idle if you buy a reasonably powered gpu.

Matrix seems a bit overkill. I think they would be better off with something like gotify.

Take a look at dontkillmyapp.com to see if your phone provider hinders your messages.

There is unified push as Google alternative as well, which works with the schildichat matrix client.

I would think it moral to download the discs you own as rips. Get a vpn for a month and download away. This would be a lot less time and electrical energy consuming compared to ripping them yourself. Also somebody else has already dealt with drm bullshit.

I did not find any instruction on the source page on how to actually deploy this. That would be a nice touch imho.

Roblox can also be installed via lutris on Linux.

Popos also has specific guides for these common errors:

I’ve been with 1984.is for a couple of years now. I think my domains cost around 12 Euros a year each. Their web GUI works fine and I’ve never needed to contact their customer service, so I cannot comment on that.

Openwrt generally works great on x64 PCs. Thiss machine will most likely be more beefy than your home router and could become your main firewall. It can handle adblocking and vpn client for all PCs on the network as well or whatever your need, as openwrt can do many nice things no commercial router can do out of the box. Install openwrt on your home router as well and use that as access point (connected via cable). You will improve your wifi signal as well. If your machine does not come with rj45 lan ports, install usb3 to rj45 adapters to the usb3.0 ports. They will give you the full 1000 mbit speeds.

You need to change the nginx config (for the website you will be hosting your services at. /etc/nginx/sites-available/yourdomain.com

You can reroute all http requests to https in that config.

Watch a video on how nginx works and how to set it up, and then look for example nginx configs for your services. It’s a pretty standard setting nowadays so the syntax should be easy to find.

I think nginx can be setup to work locally only, but do you even need it for that? It’s primary use is to proxy http requests to the different websites running on your server, enable https via letsencryt and so on, I think.

Dawn sounds very interesting. It seems to need 802.11k and 802.11v on all AP-nodes, I am not sure they are supported by my hardware though. I’ve never heard of those standards, so it seems unlikely.

I also just read about a user complaining about crashes related to dawn. Does it run stable and does it also switch to the 5ghz band or does it seem to prefer 2,4ghz, as another user noted three years ago.

Do linkwarden instances federate, so that it can act as a decentralised way-back-machine?
