Does anybody know of a way past their paywall? thanks.

I was always on Linux since Varsity but two years ago when I bought a gaming Laptop, it had Windows 11 on and worked great. I thought I would give it a chance and it was great especially for gaming. Luckily a lot of the open source software I was used to were available on windows. I also liked some of the Linux tools like the...

I didn’t have much luck with iptv as it buffers a lot and it’s not because of my broadband speed, I already have a satellite dish on my house and was thinking about making the use of it but I don’t know where to start....

Hi! I’m swapping my daily android phone for the nth time today and going through my set-up “check-list”. As apps are updating/installing, I thought I’d check in with the hive-mind, what are you all doing to make the process easier? Maybe you know of a way to self-host some sort of android profile server? I’ll post my...

Hi. I’m thinking about switching to Linux on my smartphone. The only reason I can’t is because in my country WhatsApp is everywhere and I’m expected to have it for various school/sport things. I’d like to setup whatsapp on my laptop, but I don’t know how....

I recently switched from wireless to wired headphones (Samson SR-850, probably the best for the very reasonable price) and my chair’s wheels instantly started eating its cable. Right now I’m using a small plastic hook that came with a face mask to keep it off the floor, but I’d like to hear other solutions.

Up till now I’ve been running Debian on a 2008 Dell tower as my homeserver. I just got 2 1tb drives for it so I want to upgrade to an actual dedicated NAS software to simplify how I manage it. The problem is, I only have 4gb of RAM in it. Any recommendations?...

The manual mentions that by default you can pan by holding middle click but my tablet does not have one, so I would like to change it to left click. Anyone knows how to do it? Thanks.

I’ve just installed Arch on my laptop and I’ve noticed the WiFi card seems to be generating a load of errors. I’m also dual booting Ubuntu server and it looks like that’s been generating similar logs although I’ve only ever used Ethernet on there:...

I’m thinking of changing careers completely from marketing to psychology. I’ve worked in marketing for 15 years and studied it at university level for 6. I’ve reached the top, mastered it, and I’m ready for a career switch up. I’d like to look at becoming a clinical psychologist (general)....

Not sure why this doesn’t exist. I don’t need 12TB of storage. When I had a Google account I never even crossed 15GB. 1TB should be plenty for myself and my family. I want to use NVMe since it is quieter and smaller. 2230 drives would be ideal. But I want 1 boot drive and 2 x storage drives in RAID. I guess I could...

I go to my inbox. I click messages. Then I click the plus icon. It asks me for a user. I input the user and nothing happens. Then I search and find the user again nothing happens. Why can’t I send messages in Lemmy?

i installed tor to use z-lib cos the clearnet site got taken down. wondering what sites to use to find cool or interesting stuff, and which ones to avoid for the aforementioned horrid images

I’m currently using the blocklists included with unbound in opnsense on a mini PC and I have used pihole on a pi which now operates my 3d printers instead. I haven’t tried any of the other network wide options. Has anyone made any blog posts or similar detailing performance testing of different options?...

I selfhost some tools and use duckdns for names resolution but it does not seem to be working today. My ISP updated some things on there end last night and I updated my local unbound server so I’m not sure which if either of these is also playing a role but I cant seem to access duckdns. I have tried to connect to it on my...

I will probably be harassed for this but I feel like I need to act....

This is the first time that I’ve tried to start customizing my system - beyond using a global theme from the KDE store. There’s still a few things that I’m trying to figure out. For example, I’m not the biggest fan of the KDE panel I have at the top. I want it to look nice but also be practical and fit in my workflow....

I can get behind murder. I feel like this, to some extend, is a genuine part of human behaviour. Even the horrific aftermath of such. But genocide truly feels inhuman to me. So I can never fundamentally understand how in history, civilizations went from point A to point B to Point Genocide. Any thoughts on this?
