There is a massive amount of operating systems already. List of operating systems.

Why would you like to create a new one? A lot of the existing systems are specialized for use case and or hardware.

If you want something for general PC use then you have the software problem afterwards, an OS is useless without software support. You need a critical mass of supported software before it takes off. Means money and time.

If you want to make it windows compatible you have the copyright problem, if you are flying to close to the sun it will burn you before you get to your destination .

TL:DR to high effort, low outcome.

What's a good phone now that doesn't force ads on me?

I’m using a Pixel 6 Pro right now, and I’m looking around to see if there are any good phones. However, I have heard that there are ads in the newer flagship phones (Samsung, Xiaomi). I am willing to spend around USD$750 on a new phone, but I just don’t want any crazy ads or preinstalled apps like Facebook. Are there...

Fairphone 5 is still on my list but unfortunate it does not support QI charging.

Fermiverse , (edited )

Not sure if this is a good thing. My 21+ still going strong and to be honest I have no clue what to pick next if it fails. Long update and security support is a must so it makes decision even harder.

Edit: Fairphone 5 would be an option but I like to have QI charging capabilities.

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol ) is a communication protocol that is used to coordinate a network via a server. The server in most home cases is your internet router. It coordinates the network.

Think of your network as a town with streets, every street has a unique name aka network address. So when a new device gets into the town it gets a unique address in a certain format, when requested by the clients. Mostly IPv4 i.e. 192.168.178.20.

Second there are ports. Ports are the house numbers of the streets. So if two devices use the same IP they still can be differentiated by using different ports. To address a specific port you write it behind the IP, in our example 192.168.178.20:80. So we use port 80.

To come back to the beginning the router coordinates the IP addresses and the ports from your internal network via DHCP and makes sure every device is accessible and no doubles.

There is a lot more but very briefly this is it.

Fermiverse ,

You are correct, there is a lot more to dive in like NAT, IPv6, static or dynamic address, UPnP, MAC address, subnet space etc.

But I wanted to keep it simple.

Fermiverse ,

Here is an article that explains what you are thinking about.

In short, you can’t.

A bit longer, while in quantum dimentions it is meanwhile obvious that superposition exists. As shown by many experiments. In the marco world it seems that there is a threshold of factors still to be determined what makes reality happen even if nobody experience it on a conscious level.

You could als checkout some Kurzgesagt videos.

Fermiverse ,

Uhh, this seems like a completely new rabbit hole to dive in.

To report back, my system is up and running. Used my spare odroid xu4 with dietpi for it. Put it all in a case and attached a cheap Nooelec stick. Waiting for my antenna today and to decide where to put it under the roof.

Fine tuning for best reception location will be taking a while to be honest.

Soap, beside giving a good smell, has one job. It breaks up the water surface tension to enable it cleaning of the skin surface. Normally the water would not reach the wrinkels of the skin and would not take the contamination off it.

So any soap is good to go. The other stuff in soap like smell and moisture effects don’t matter that much in general and are overrated imoho.

For all Proxmox users it looks like the new ZFS kernel module with the patch is included in the opt-in kernel 6.5.11-6-pve for now.

The kernel 6.5 actually became the default in Proxmox 8.1, so a regular dist-upgrade should bring it in. Run “zpool --version” after rebooting and double check you get this:

zfs-2.2.0-pve4 zfs-kmod-2.2.0-pve4

As this versions are patched for bug.

Fermiverse ,

This seems to affect ZFS >=2.2.0. Ubuntu 22.04 LTS is on ZFS 2.1.5

Nope!

OpenZFS through 2.1.13 and 2.2.x through 2.2.1 contain this bug.

This issue occurs less often in version 2.2.1, and in versions before 2.1.4, because of the default configuration in those versions.

From here

Jep, it seems like Damocles Sword was hanging above us the whole time (⊙_⊙)

This comes with the Hamas having no interest to do any favour in Israel’s direction even sacrifice Palestinians if it supports their plan.

This is war don’t trust anyone, no news no pictures from both sides.

I had/have modded PS1, xbox 360, wii, ps2, 3ds and switch. Modded them all myself

I used/use all of them a lot but not the switch. To much hassle in my opinion. Keep it and play exclusives if you really want them. Safe some money and do the rest on a steamdeck oled. No hassle and play all the backups you want.

Fermiverse ,

I know I modded mine already. But the constant fear of getting a ban because you forgot to block something or boot into the wrong nand. Its a lot more relaxed when you don’t have to watch every step.

The latest announcements regarding windows also brings me to the linux route again.

While I use it in the home environment I still have some software that must work. I will test drive on an older laptop first and will see how far it goes.

For server / network I already use linux a lot, for desktop I am still not conviced, yet.

Fermiverse ,

Interesting, as I know proton from the gaming side.

Syncthing.

App on the phone and host on the server.

Fermiverse ,

Ignore delete is a folder feature that you can set on the receiving folder.

TIL about this tool, the *Reinigungsschaber* ! (lemmy.world)

I had lost hope with my electric cooking plates. The white circles where completely hidden under a layer of diamond-grade burn residue that no amount of scrubbing with chemicals could even begin to remove. I found this 3€ scrapping tool and it’s amazing !!! Sorry, but I don’t have the before picture, believe me after 6...

Fermiverse ,

So since the LXC route is promoted here take a look into these Helper Scripts they make the use of LXC very easy.

That said you could still adjust parameters afterwards and when you feel comfortable with.

…who wrote code without stack overflow

I know and wrote for both of them.

Jeez I am old.

Calibre Server to host.

KOreader to install on my favorite reader and direct connect to calibre.

Pocketbook as my favorite reader.

Server Hardware?

Hey, I want to dip my feet into self-hosting, but i find the hardware side of things very daunting. I want to self host a Minecraft server (shocking, i know), and i’ve actually done this before both on my own PC and through server hosts. I’d like to run a Plex server as well (Jellyfin is champ now it sounds like? So maybe...

This is a repost from my suggestion some weeks ago:

I went for the ASRock J5040 board, 16gb ram a 500gb m.2 as system using a PCI adapter , 2x4tb ironwolf as ZFS mirror pool, 350 W power supply all in the node 304 fractal case for 550 euro alltogether.

Runs proxmox as hypervisor for VM or Container. 6 LXC running motioneye, plex, pyload with openvpn, syncthing, rclone cloud backup and openbookshelf.

Typical power usage is around 20W

That said it could also run on PicoPSU

Jep, low carb, no added sugars.

Not yet. All of the LXC containers run on 2 cores of the 4 and 2gb of RAM and 512MB swap where reserved. I can address more power if needed.

As none of my services run constant on full power the low power of the CPU is not a problem. I serve only my home with it.

I use a pocketbook since years now.

  • crisp display
  • eats every format you throw at it
  • also bluetooth on board for listening to audiobooks or music. Means no mobile necesarry when going to the beach
  • water resistant models, read in the bathtube
  • send to pocketbook to receive ebooks via mail
  • KOReader compatible with calibre to connect to your selfhosted server
  • connection to onleihe or libby
Fermiverse ,

We (3) use Touch HD 3 since several years now. As an upgrade (larger screen and side holding) we just ordered one Era in silver (16gb).

I started with a pocketbook 360, a 5 inch side holding reader. It is nice to see that they go back to another side holder version again, the 360 was, because of this, my favourite.

After all thats Reddi… oh wait,. … never mind
