The Wikipedia definition seems to indicate it has origins as a racist term and I’ve never understood why unix users have adopted this terms instead of something benign like “themes” or “theming” which I remember being in use long before I ever heard “rice”. So what gives? Why use “rice” instead of “theme”?
I recently came across a YouTube video that shed light on the detrimental effects of sitting for long hours and provided exercises and stretches to combat them. Unfortunately, I can’t seem to find that video now. I have a few tools at my disposal, including dumbbells, a pull-up bar, an elastic band, and a yoga mat. I was...

I’d like to swap my spinning disks with SSD drives. I have the new disks and they’re just larger than the old ones. My configuration is a RAID-5 with 3 disks (and one hot spare). Can I hot swap a single disk (HDD to SSD), wait for the new disk to rebuild, then repeat?...
Hello, I’m getting into self hosting and looking to setup a small home lab to play around with different technologies. I’m considering setting up a DMZ to keep my lab hardware separate from the rest of the network and other users. What is some of the minimal hardware required to do this on a small budget?

It could probably be as simple as serving a...
Can Lemmy really replace Reddit at a surtain time
I want to self-host lemmy and participate in federation. However, I wonder whether it’s possible to have a setup where only I, and trusted users, are allowed to browse federated-content....
I’m looking to replace the log book at work. I thought somebody must have made a simple docker container that allows someone to put in entries into a database for things like daily activities, guest logs, maybe even tracking fuel deliveries. Is there anything out there or and I going to need to remember how to make websites?...
I’m currently running an instance on Ubuntu but I’m wondering if it can be moved to my windows computer?
I am already self-hosting a lot of things for 15+ years now, including git, but I am looking for a solution like Github that is federalized (not Gitlab or the like)....
Exactly what the title says. I used to look at Reddit and spend 2+ hours minimum every single day, more on the weekends. Once the API changes were announced and the protest date hit, I decided I would stop using it regardless of what happened moving forward....
I’m looking to replace my failing phone. I don’t need fancy hardware in terms of camera, high storage, any crazy screen technology or the like. I don’t need a large sized phone, in fact I’d prefer something on the smaller side. I need it to be either bloatware/spyware-free on arrival, or easily de-bloated (permanently)....
