I use Heimdall too, with a bunch of other things. One of them is Pihole.

Pihole will not only help blocking ads at DNS level, it will also work as DHCP server and resolve localy configured addresses, like homepage.ourhome.

Put it on your network and disable the DHCP feature in your WiFi router/firewall (you may need to explicitly set it to forward DHCP to Pihole).

One warning, do not set up names like host.local. the TLD .local is reserved it will cause issues.

Shift+Ins was the default paste on Windows 3.0, before Apple sued Microsoft for copying their OS (back in then it was still called just “System”), so MS added Ctrl+C for Windows 3.1, but the old one still work.

Same thing for Xorg. Ctrl+Ins for copy, Ctrl+Del for paste and Ctrl+Ins for paste.

I could say the same about Microsoft.

That might be true inside Russia, but not in the rest of the world. F5 could sue in the US and force the registrar responsible for the .org TLD to hand the domain to them.

In his place, I would chosen something related but different enough to avoid trademark infringement, like “Freeginx”. IANAL, but I believe sometimes all it takes is one letter to keep lawyers away.

Being even more pedantic, KVM is the hypervisor, QEMU is a wrapper around it and Proxmox provides a management interface to it.

Any Linux distro running KVM/QEMU - Add Cockpit if you need a web interface, or use Virt-Manager, either directly or over X-forwarding

No need for X forwarding, you can connect Virt-Manager to a remote system that has libvirt,

For my private repos, hosted on my home server, I moved from Gitlab to Forgejo (Git, artifacts and containers images) and Woodpecker for CI builds. Woodpecker is not as powerful and feature complete as Gitlab, but for simpler needs it gets the job done.

In that case, without encryption, your safety is zero. That’s the exact scenario that full-drive encryption was designed for.

Safe in what context ?

If the drive is mounted and data accessible, in case your computer is compromised by some kind of malware, well, the data will be easy to exfiltrate. Now, if the computer is turned off or the drive unmounted, that’s what encryption comes in to protect it.

So, basically, encryption will protect the data in case of physical theft of the drive or in case of remote hacking if the drive is un-mounted.

If India is anything like my country (Brazil), corruption is rampant and enforcement outside business environments is pretty much non-existent, so, no, no one is afraid of piracy for domestic use. We used to have street vendors and booths on strip malls selling all kinds of warez on CD/DVD. The only reason they’re not around anymore is because internet speeds here are already good enough that downloading is easier. And no, no one will cut you connection because of it, our congress already approved laws saying that access to digital communication is a civic right.

It’s clear the original was made before all those sites enshittified into their current forms. That’s why it mentions Vine instead of TikTok, which is notable for having been enshittified from day 1.

To dislodge an incumbent, a product needs to have an enormous advantage, a killer feature that makes the hassle of changing worth it. Up until now, Linux didn’t have it. Well, it did, but Windows had it too, but Microsoft dropped it: lack of ads baked on the OS.

Now that Windows is turning into yet another Ad delivery system, people are looking for an escape. Many are going to Macs, some are coming to Linux.

You can run with your own reverse proxy Nginx if:

• You expose the port used by the backend/API with a “ports:” setting on the compose file
• Expose the socket used by the ytproxy container using a volume that points to a directory in the host

You’ll still need 3 DNS names and a SSL certificate to cover all three.

TO configure your Nginx, you can use the template I provided on the config/ directory as a base.

One thing that was making the boot taking too long on my LXC containers systemd-networkd-wait-online.service, a service that waits for every link to be up. After I figured this, I added that service to the list of stuff I turn off, even on bare-metal installs.

first is to have a second graphics card - it can be an integrated one, like on Ryzen 7xxx or Intel CPUS - or a second computer that can SSH into the gaming box, just in case you need to open a terminal to fix stuff that broke. Then hit the Level1Tech forums, there’s a lot of knowledge there about the stuff.

On the Radeon camp, it’s just “apt dist-upgrade; systemctl reboot”

Done.

The only time I had issues with the open source AMD drivers was when I was doing GPU pass through to play Elite: Dangerous, the drivers really didn’t like the state Windows left the card in when it was time to reattach it to Linux.

Those look nice. I don’t need a dedicated desktop client, since I always have Firefox open anyways, but I’ll give Libretube a try on my phone. Bonus, Libretube’s Mastodon account is on the same instance that I use :-)
