Sorry, it’s vegan cat food week. Beans are next.

@sunscream@lemmy.vg avatar

For me fediverse is largely useless because it lacks any viable size of a gay population. From LGBT+ people it has a huge trans community but not gay. If you’re gay and want to interact with other gay men you need to use a more mainstream platform.

Which is a pity because I only liked Mastodon’s UI and the big platforms lack quality of life implementations.

lorentz , to selfhosted in Port Forwarding/Redirecting

Yes, you can do it on your server with a simple iptable rule.

I’m a little rusted, but something like this should work.

iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -d [your IP] -p tcp --dport 11500 -j DNAT --to-destination [your IP:443]

You can find more information searching for “iptables dnat”. What you are saying here is: in the prerouting table (ie: before we decide what to do with this packet) tcp connections to my IP at the port 11500 must be forwarded to my IP at port 443.

ClassifiedPancake , to asklemmy in What is an achievement in life that you're proud of?

Many things. Stopped smoking, started eating healthier, cooking, doing sports, going to therapy, stopped hating myself, learning to handle my income appropriately so I don’t live credit to credit anymore, getting a dog (now my second) be nice to people and get nice back. All spread out over the last ten years since I had a breakdown when I turned 30.

Instead of just linking to the information, which may be removed in the future, you could have also pasted a snippet of a relevant section. Like:

If --force is specified twice, the operation is immediately executed without terminating any processes or unmounting any file systems. This may result in data loss. Note that when --force is specified twice the halt operation is executed by systemctl itself, and the system manager is not contacted. This means the command should succeed even when the system manager has crashed.

lorentz , to selfhosted in community hosted backups

A lot of technical aspects here, but IMHO the biggest drawback is liability. Do you offer free storage connected to internet to a group of “random tech nerds”. Do you trust all of them to use it properly? Are you really sure that none of them will store and distribute illegal stuff with it? Do you know them in person so you can forward the police to them in case they came knocking at your door?

Anonymouse OP ,

Perhaps I’ve been naieve.

hitwright , to linux in Can someone explain this command for me?

As per systemctl(1) manual:

If --force is specified twice, the operation is immediately executed without terminating any processes or unmounting any file systems. This may result in data loss. Note that when --force is specified twice the halt operation is executed by systemctl itself, and the system manager is not contacted. This means the command should succeed even when the system manager has crashed.

Ah, the --no-preserve-root flag equivalent for a reboot 😄

t0m5k1 , to linux in Can someone explain this command for me?
@t0m5k1@lemmy.world avatar

I’d never use it on a production server due to the implications of data loss associated with such a command.

You could say this is the same as sysreq trigger b where everything is ignored and just reboot with ignorance.

maniacalmanicmania , to asklemmy in Is federation that good?
@maniacalmanicmania@aussie.zone avatar

I can block instances on Voyager. I assume that only blocks them when I’m browsing on Voyager though and I have no idea how it handles votes/posts/comments for any blocked instance.

Best of luck with your endeavours to find a place you want to hang out in.

@viking@infosec.pub avatar

Blocking instances works with the OG Lemmy, but they didn’t build the function into the app, you’d have to go through the website (that one time only).

Or can you block all users of a specific instance with Voyager?

maniacalmanicmania ,
@maniacalmanicmania@aussie.zone avatar

In Voyager there is a setting to add instances you want to block.

It only blocks communities from that instance.

Ferris , to nostupidquestions in When I bite my nails while wearing sound cancelling earbuds, I can hear a moment of static as my skull absorbs the sound or whatever. What's going on here?

noise cancellation should be better at adjusting for sounds which occur for longer periods of time. it takes time to calculate the inversion, the amplitude, the frequency, the emission and line them up.

What does popcorn sound like?

AmidFuror ,

It goes "pop, pop, pop," then "crunch, crunch, crunch."

AlternatePersonMan , to linux in Noob Question Thread: Ask Any Questions About Linux!

With the recent Microsoft garbage, I’m giving Linux another try. I’ve been running a laptop for a while, no issues. My main rig, however can’t read all of my um…?hard drives

A live USB of Mint 21 reads 2 of 5 drives fine. The rest are recognized from GParted, but can’t access them. It looks like NTFS-3G is installed.

I’ve duck duck go’d (which apparently is just Bing) for a solution, but haven’t succeeded. Long term, I can probably pick up another drive, copy, and reformat everything to something Linux friendly. For now, I just want access.

I’m lazy and burned out. I don’t want to use the terminal- which I did try. I just want to make a few clicks and have access to all of my files.

If it matters, the drives (roughly) show up as: 500 gb, 4 TB NTFS (readable) 3, 12, 16 TB unknown (not readable)

Windows says they’re all NTFS.

Is there an easy way to easily mount my drives?

freeman ,

I think the disks could be Dynamic Disks on which it would not be a good idea to install a linux distro.

Unfortunately Microsoft’s own advice to change it to a basic disk (since it considers dynamic deprecated) WILL RESULT IN DATA LOSS.

Since you only want to access them it seem to be possible with ldmtool. While it is a cli tool there is a corresponding service that at least according to some askubuntu posts and arcwiki should make them behave like normal filesystems.

daniskarma , to fediverse in What made everyone move to Bluesky or Threads instead of Mastodon?

Instance picking can be overwhelming. Making people just not even try it.

I do think a big challenge for the fediverse is how to ease that. And make it like e-mail where @whocares is not that important and it’s easy to actually have a custom domain/instance.

And, of course, to achieve this instance admins should be really be responsible with defederations and bans. And only use it as last resort, probably only because of legal reasons. Not because “I don’t like that instance admins main political thesis”. Probably that kind of blocks are better to be left to the user.
