@ickplant i wonder if they are also afraid that something will grab their leg.

@fediverse_report Awesome! looking forward for the completed implementation.

What do you do for a calendar? New to selfhosting/homelab.

Hey All, I am just getting started in my journey. Part of my goals is to de-google my life and am looking to start with my calendar. I want to to sync with my laptop and my phone. I was going to start reading about nextcould because it seems like it would have the stuff I need and more. My question is what does the community...

My first installed Linux distro was Ubuntu 5.10. I started experimenting with Linux because my neighbour at the time said good things about Linux. He used windows himself but he also heard good things about Linux and spread the word in curiousity. Eventually I was the one of us who made the jump.

And now I'm on fedora 39 kinoite because I like the immutable image-based features such as being able to build my own images in the cloud and being able to roll back to any previous version if something messes up in an upgrade. And also I have more control over what software is installed on the host system because it's all written in my Dockerfile so if I want to uninstall something and all of its dependencies, I'm just gonna remove it from the Dockerfile.

Android has great backwards compatibility.
Targeting above that level isn't too much to ask.

Yes haha. This way we can get back to the times where 4 characters passwords were sufficient 😃

Yeah I agree.

Yes exactly 😂

@Pacmanlives
Couldn't you just disable root login in the sshd config?

anders OP ,

@Pacmanlives
So it was a fake root prompt which tricked the bots into believing that they logged in successfully but in reality the prompt could do nothing on the system?

Stupid people always say no

Indeed. 😄 You're the first to catch it 😄

@ahal yes true :D

@tourist im sorry to hear :(

did you manage to recover it?

@tourist
😅 Time is critical in such situation

Enterprise Linux on desktop?

Anyone using enterprise Linux on their desktop such as RHEL, Alma, Rocky, CentOS etc.?

I'm curious if it's easy to use for this purpose or if the older packages are a pain.

@linux

anders OP ,

@zenharbinger
Okay cool. I don't game so for me that's not a problem neither if games don't work.

anders OP ,

@ulterno
For which cases did you need cake for example?

My base OS is Fedora Kinoite and I'm considering have AlmaLinux in a podman container for some applications and tools. Replacing it every year because fedora is eol is too often in my opinion.

Hasn't Kate been replaced by an upgraded Kwrite or is Kate still maintained?

anders OP ,

@ulterno
Haha. Typo. I meant cmake 😂

Ah i see. I think Alma has KDE available

anders OP ,

@Pantherina
There is a free subscription for RHEL for individuals.

And I think it's less of an issue nowadays with old packages since we have extra layers such as podman containers over distrobox, flatpak, snap, Nix etc.
Then you can have a solid base OS with less solid layers on top where things are allowed to break but don't mess with the rest of the system. I use Fedora Kinoite as my base for this exact reason.

anders OP ,

@Shareni
With bootleg RHELs you mean Alma and Rocky?

anders OP ,

@mfat and with Distrobox containers.

anders OP ,

@GnomeComedy ansible sounds cool. i don't know anything about it, but it seems like this is a bit of the same as i'm doing with Dockerfiles for my Fedora Kinoite. building my own custom OS image with github actions and then every 3rd day the new image gets pulled by my pc from the cloud.

anders OP ,

@Shareni alma started to take sources from centos stream. so yeah upstream in a way.

@possiblylinux127
What do you mean with other way around?

anders OP ,

@possiblylinux127
And then enterprise Linux on your home desktop?

anders OP ,

@possiblylinux127 Fedora FTW 🙏

True 😄

I'm not saying Linux is better than Windows.

@Cold_Brew_Enema
Lol. I don't hate Windows 😂 I'm just joking.

Use whatever you want 😄

anders OP ,

@foggy
I agree. In terms of features 11 is better than 10.

anders OP ,

@Cold_Brew_Enema @Shard
Yeah why do we have so big egos 😟

anders OP ,

@Xttweaponttx
Yeah i agree. The ad stuff is really bad. Having ads in the browser is enough. I don't want it in my OS. But even all the way back in Windows 7 some people busted Windows in "calling home" when something was entered in the search field in the Start menu. This was caught using the ZoneAlarm firewall.

anders OP ,

@Lucidlethargy

I had for about 2 years. Went back to Linux about a year ago and sold the MacBook recently.

anders OP ,

@TrickDacy

Indeed. Linux nowadays works out of the box if you choose a distro such as Ubuntu or Fedora.

The Wifi issue thing is an old story which was a reality back in 2005 when I started using Linux.

What have I done?! My abomination of an idea of bridging my email and ActivityPub progresses. If you see this message, something is working! Comments replies are welcome as it's a good test of this system :) People keep saying ActivityPub is a lot like email. If it's so similar to email, could I use my email client to interact with the fediverse? Previously I did this by writing a SMTP interface to the Mastodon HTTP API. That worked. But as we probably know, the fediverse is not Mastodon; it's really ActivityPub. The real deal would be working with ActivityPub directly, not the Mastodon HTTP API. And that's now (mostly?) working! In shonky diagram form, sending looks like this: laptop --SMTP--> my_server --ActivityPub--> fediverse Replies look like this: fediverse --ActivityPub--> my_server --SMTP--> mailbox <--IMAP-- laptop my_server translates back and forth between ActivityPub messages and mail messages. For example given the message: Date: Wed, 6 Mar 2024 16:37:59 +1100 From: Oliver Lowe To: [email protected] Subject: test 2 test hello world! The following ActivityPub message is created: { "@context": "https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams", "id":"https://apubtest2.srcbeat.com/outbox/1709703480070628170", "type":"Note", "name":"test 2", "to": ["https://aussie.zone/c/localtesting","https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams#Public"], "cc": ["https://aussie.zone/c/localtesting"], "published":"2024-03-06T16:37:59+11:00", "attributedTo":"https://apubtest2.srcbeat.com/actor.json", "content":"test hello world!", "mediaType":"text/markdown" } There's still a lot of bugs (of course) and unimplemented bits (of course). I can't call this a proper fediverse service yet. I'm going to roll with this for a bit and see how it holds up.

@otl well done!

You're welcome! Great that it works :)
