Commented

I have a suite of services exposed using a reverse proxy (npm) protected with passwords, but I’m always a bit nervous that username/passwords aren’t enough – is there a way to set up 2FA either on Nginx Proxy Manager side or on, e.g., the 'arr suite of apps?

This is a rant about dumb password policies enforced by some websites or apps. If you see these password rules forced to you, try to stay away if possible....

The recent post about what people are using for webmail got me thinking about a perhaps irrational policy I have with my own self-hosted software: I don’t install anything written in PHP, because I have this vague notion that PHP software is often insecure. I think I probably got this idea because years ago I saw all the...

I have an older i7 circa 2009, 16 gigs ram, and a gtx1060 with an ssd for os. I’m thinking either Pop!_Os or Nobara? Idea’s, what do yall think?

And which of them are a better alternative than subscribing to a specific community here at lemmy.world?

I’m trying to downsize from an aging gaming laptop to an ultrabook I can use for writing, web browsing, and JavaScript / Python web development. I understand an ultrabook will be a downgrade in the performance department, but I don’t need all the performance my current laptop offers....

I have been using a company computer running Ubuntu 22.04. There are frequent and unexplained problems, like segmentation faults, stack errors, files disappearing, computer freezing or not booting, or turning off immediately after I turn it on. I don’t know what to do. The IT staff came to my office to check the computer and...

I have a desktop and a steam deck. I would like to setup some old games I have on disc on the desktop. Then compress them and decompress on my Steam Deck without doing the full install again. I understand that with wine/proton prefixes they should be installed to a “fake c:/ windows hierarchy” can I just compress that and...

Whatcha all playing!...

Perhaps this is a weird question I have, but I’ve been watching some technotim videos lately and he seems to have local dns addresses for local services. Perhaps I’ve got this wrong, but if not: how would you go over doing this?...

Farting is an essential day to day activity. It helps maintain a healthy lifestyle and keeps bloating away. There are multiple types of farts, but the most common way to categorize them is by the loudness/stinkyness ratio. Essentially, the louder the fart, the less stinky (fully silent farts are the most nocive for surrounding...

I just bought a new computer. I’ll install fedora silverblue. Do I just need to copy the home directory? And crontab. What else do I need to move?

This is (lucky me) the first time I have seen such clear evidence of AI on a learning website and it really shocked me. I am scared of what lies ahead of the internet regarding AI enshittification…...

I have about 500GB of data (photos, documents, videos etc.) that I have accumulated over the years. Currently, I keep them on my computer and rsync all additions / changes once a month or so to an external hard drive. Do I need to be worried about data loss (sectors going bad, bit rot, bit flip, whatever it is called)?...
