virtualizing PFSense. What else works besides ESXi for virtual networking?

  • Admittedly I have not dug too deeply into Proxmox but its learning curve appears kinda steep.

    • New home server: what hypervisor/OS?

    Jump

  • Yeah I experimented with Truenas in a VM, it randomly dropped the pool. Do not do this.

    • Sign up on services without phone number? Is it possible?

    Jump

  • Lot of places don't accept Google Voice numbers any more (or VOIP in general). They straight up want your cell.

    • LineageOS is currently installed on 1.5 million Android devices

    Jump

  • Meanwhile, the OG OS has more vulnerabilities probably

  • Follow the guides, if you have a supported phone. It is really nice for supported devices. But do follow the instructions exactly.

    • A quick look back at Corel Linux OS, another attempt to make a competing Windows-like OS

  • I still have the inflatable penguin that came in the box

  • Plex is not great for privacy or ownership these days. Jellyfin or Kodi are much better.

    • SquareSpace dropping the ball.

    Jump

  • Try Zoneedit. I've had them for years and barely glanced at them.

    • What's your current favorite distro that isn't Arch, Debian or Fedora?

    Jump

  • Loool I'll leave it

  • OpenSUSe. Tumbleweed as a rolling bistro is amazingly stable, yast is nice, and it all just works great. Leap for the servers, and things are solid.

    • Weather app asking for permission to manage calls

    Jump

  • Some cheesier financial entities are also just forcing everyone to the app now. No web.

    • Microsoft is adding a new key to PC keyboards for the first time since 1994

    Jump

  • You download the image (usually a .iso file) from the distro site then you have to get it onto the stick with a disk image writing program. And be sure when you figure it out that you are writing the image to the right disk!

    Rufus was a good program I used, but search around. Windows may do it natively now.

    • YouTube isn't happy you're using ad blockers — and it's doing something about it

    Jump

  • only allow YouTube in app and in seriously locked down Web-Environtment-Integrity browsers

    This is exactly what they want. Remember their github with the OS integrity authentication service? They're already there with phones and Chromebooks,, now they have to control PCs.

    • I'm probably going to get a lot of explanations in the comments

    Jump

  • Yes, it is called Mint

    • I like the web app more.

    Jump

  • Connect is nice too. And I have Liftoff installed, seems good so far as well. I honestly don't get the fixation on Sync.

    • Incandescent light bulbs are officially banned in the U.S.

    Jump

  • I wish the LEDs weren't such crap. They don't even last as long as a 60W incandescent a lot of times. The old CFLs last years, I have a few over ten years old.

    • Samsung sees 95% drop in profits for a second consecutive quarter

    Jump

  • Not to mention things like Lineage can get even more life from old phones.

    • Little computers? Who do people like?

    Jump

  • I still use a couple of HP N40Ls for NAS. They're not fast but they hold up just fine and are as reliable as a brick. The newer models look pretty interesting if you can pick one up used.

    The Optiplex micro workstations are also pretty awesome for servers.

    • Ok, now I'm finally done with Reddit.

    Jump

  • It gets easier. I have diversified my sources now (which is exactly what Reddit, google, Facebook etc do NOT want you doing), so we all win.

    • Welcome to !selfhosted@lemmy.world - What do you selfhost?

  • A Lack Rack with VMWare and TrueNAS servers, pfsense, Jellyfin, Zoneminder, web/email, Nextcloud, Minecraft, LineageOS build machine, .....other stuff
