I'm new to networking and self-hosting and have no idea where to start.

I’ve been slowly working my way though a list of skills to learn, both to put on my resume and as personal growth. Networking is the next thing on this list. I am not sure what I am looking for, but I want to start another project. I have built many a personal computer, but the world of networking is a pretty foreign concept...

Whatever happened to DNA-based storage research?

It seems like 6 or 7 years ago there was research into new forms of storage, using crystals or DNA that promised ultra high density storage. I know the read/write speed was not very fast, but I thought by now there would be more progress in the area. Apparently in 2021 there was a team that got a 16GB file stored in DNA. In the...

Videos stuttering across all applications

For a little over a month now, when playing videos on firefox, VLC, or any other application, I get infrequent stutters. This is with or without hardware accelleration. It’s as if the video pauses briefly. If multiple videos are playing, even across different applications, each of them will be effected at the same time....

Secondhand item came with previous owner's files on the SD card, do I return the card or format it?

I bought a 3d printer off Ebay which got delivered not too long ago, and it came with 2 sd cards - one with a build video and some demo print files, but worryingly another card that has all the previous owner’s personal files on there....

Milo? What do you do with it?

I was gifted a 900 Gram bag of Milo (I assume that’s some shrinkflation crap). I love Malt and Cocoa, but this is bland and chalky. What do I do with it? So far I have tried it hot and cold on its own and mixed in coffee hot and cold. My next thought was using it in baked goods, something like an American Brownie....

Question on online play

Can someone who has a gog version of a game play with someone who has a steam version of the game in online games? There are lots of online games and online co-op games out there that are on steam and gog and I wonder if they can join each other’s lobbies and play each other and etc? Or does one need to have a steam copy to...

How do I change desktop environments on linux mint?

I am not a fan of cinnamon and i’d like to try gnome or kde plasma. i have heard great things about both and i tried gnome before, but i really hated how it worked with linux mint (particularly that it replaced the login screen with that of the ubuntu login). is there a way to avoid that? any other general tips? thank you...

How do I get the device number for TWRP on my Samsung Galaxy J3 2018 model number SM-J337W and root it?

I have a Samsung Galaxy J3 2018 (model number SM-J337W) on which I want to install my own custom AOSP ROM (because I don’t want Google or Samsung to spy on me, I’m stuck with my current phone, and my phone is not supported by LineageOS, GrapheneOS, or CalyxOS). I have managed to install ADB for Linux and unlock the...

Is there an app or way to set a start time and end time and totally simulate an automatic sunset with Hue lighting

I want to set a start time and end time and have my Hue lights slowly and very gradually over that timeframe shift from like yellow–> red or even white/blue at the start of the day–> red at end and have it automatically carry that out....

Mailu+Photoprism using Traefik, NGINX, & Cloudflare

Hello, I recently got into Photoprism and it’s now my one and only app that I care to spend time feeding. Except Google says I’m running out of space please buy more and I want to do badly but nah. So I found mailu to be a pretty simple docker. Photoprism was working so well initially as dynamic DNS and then I moved to...

Are there any third-party clients for Android that allow posting to both X and Mastodon?

I realize I may be out of luck here, because Twitter/X seems to have locked out third-party apps real good. Still, my line of work still has many folks on Twitter/X, which makes it difficult for me to fully switch over to Mastodon, and I would love a client that could ease the pains that this social media limbo currently imposes...
