What to use as DHCP server?
Hello everyone,...
Who else watched BBC News at 10 just to see who'd be presenting it?
It seems like rumours and suspicions have solidified today. So I was genuinely interested to see who was presenting the 10 o’clock news this evening – and how the current BBC-related story was covered.
If these were your only choices, what would you do?
You are serving yourself pasta and you have zero access to tomato sauce. All you have in your pantry is ketchup (catsup.) Would you eat the plain pasta, or add ketchup for flavor?...
Why does smoked salmon look 'raw'? And why does it taste so different from a cooked fillet?
I don’t tend to eat much fish, but in the supermarket earlier I saw some smoked salmon which didn’t need cooking, and some salmon fillets which did. They looked the same really - both ‘raw’. I decided to buy some of the fillet. It was nice, but a very different flavour from when I’ve tried smoked salmon in the past....
SSD - redundand storage, or not?
With SSD storage, what what your thoughts on redundant storage devices (e.g RAID1), is it a waste, a nice to have or a must?...
How does an app like Threads get access to financial, political, health, religious or browsing info through your phone's OS. What is the actual source of that data?
I’m trying to understand how an app would even get that info in the first place, how that’s classified and why a mobile operating system even has a way to provide that data....
What was the historical science debate that seems silliest in hind sight?
I’m thinking of things like heliocentrism where there was some modern discovery or revelation by science that invalidated a common assumption prior....

What's to prevent someone from hijacking my username?
Since usernames are only unique to the instance it’s created on, what’s to stop someone from creating a copycat username in order to impersonate another user?
How would Threads federate with Lemmy in the first place since they’re a microblogging thing and we’re not?
I don’t understand how ActivityPub works that well and I haven’t used Threads so maybe I just doing get it....
Setting up selfhosting without a terminal
Every single time I talk to my friends, whom also want an *arr/Plex/VPN/Home Assistant setup like I’ve got, I can see the fear in their eyes when I mention Debian, Docker, and the terminal. It could be a case of “git gud”, but I want to help them out with a setup like this, but with as low friction as possible. Ideally...
Nobody alive has a kill/death ratio IRL, since you can't divide by zero.
I keep closing my browser tabs by accident with Ctrl + W
While editing in an input field, I’m so used to going for Ctrl+W instead of Ctrl+Backspace because it’s more ergonomic. But almost all modern browsers use Ctrl + W to close tabs. Since when was this a convention? I’d love to go back in time and git revert this change. Incredibly frustrating....
Why is copy and paste so difficult for Linux to solve?
It seems like for at least a decade every application/framework has had their own paste buffer, and honestly I’m surprised this isn’t “just working” out of the box by now....
Every time I turn around, there's another damn Linux fanboy crawling out from under a rock

Hello
Hello
Why is it called Lemmy?
Sorry if someone has already asked this. This is my first post on Lemmy. I mean, I guess you could ask the same question about Reddit but I’m pretty sure it’s supposed to be Read-It. But what does Lemmy mean? Is it a cute word for a small lemon?
ELI5: If you're a Christian, why do you have to be good if Jesus will forgive you no matter what?
I grew up going to church but I'm not religious now and I never really understood this part....
Do you think that Lemmy will last or will it die in a few weeks?
Podman is awesome—and totally frustrating
So Podman is an open source container engine like Docker—with “full”^1^ Docker compatibility. IMO Podman’s main benefit over Docker is security. But how is it more secure? Keep reading…...
Vaultwarden has such a steep learning curve
But I want it so badly! All i need to figure out is:...
Vampires are evil because they're incapable of self-reflection.
I just finish to see all TNG movies.
What I can say? They all are great! Some are better than others, but still is very enjoyable, why there is so mixed reviews about it? I can understand some specific complains, but that dosen’t make it bad.
Is a bong an instrument? It has been featured in many songs even having credits for bong solo.
How could I make my town a little less lame
I just moved into a new area, well in area that I used to live in and I remembered how lame it is. Most shops close at like 9:00 or 10:00. No nightlife to speak of, super family friendly and squeaky clean. Picturesque suburbs but I feel like I’m honestly trapped. But then it occurred to me. There might actually be something I...
