Hey guys, I am quite new to the whole self-hosting world so I haven’t done too much. Before I dive in deeper though, I’d like to know how I should choose my domain name vendor.

I recently caught one on a gay dating website and have put together the entire chat session where he is trying to scam a gift card. Trouble is, there’s a lot of graphic sexual language.

In China, you can’t exist without a smartphone, because for all existential things you have to do (paying bills, buying tickets etc.) , you are forced to use the almighty wechat app. Smartphones are a tool to manipulate and to spy on the population. It is a tool utilized by the ruling class, to control the masses. I hate the...

I have a fedora but I’m curious about Red Hat Enterprise Linux because they say fedora is a community version of red hat.

After registering I should get a verification email. This one never comes. And because this verification email never comes, I can’t sign in.
