I’ve been itching to try Gentoo again after being away for many years. I remember setting up portage overlays to get Wine running CS 1.6 back in the day. I had done a stage1 install one time for the hell of it and it was faster than it ever was on Windows. I’ve been wanting to chase that sweet performance… funrollloops or something. Haha
Having spent years on Gentoo and done several installs, installing Arch the other day was a wall in the park and felt natural. I had to learn the new tech stack (nmcli, pacman, arch-chroot) but after that it was basically easy mode. You mean I don’t have to define compiler flags and feature flags and I don’t have to wait for it to compile or set up a cross arch compiler farm?
Turning off Bluetooth on my phone then opening my AirPods and holding the white button until the led starts flashing white is what foes it for me. I’ve had a ton of trouble with getting it working and have had to completely remove from my phone then factory reset the AirPods then pair to phone, turn off Bluetooth then the steps above to get it to work.
I’ve been trying to get lemmy broken up to microservices for my Raspberry Pi k3s cluster. I have postgres running but I’m well outside my comfort zone trying to learn how kubernetes works. If I stand up the other microservices (pictrs and lemmy) do I just need to use the same namespace? How do I tell it the server url/fqdn/ip for postgres? Does metallb do that for me?
I used it to build a character.ai competitor that I got bored with and didn’t finish passed the proof of concept. React programming, typescript, AWS CDK, typescript APIs, helped me come up with the high level architecture with the CloudFront configuration etc etc etc. Took me about a month working on it after work to get the working prototype built including Cognito+Google login working and CICD pipeline running.
Windows has complete access to the WSL file system, so there’s zero privacy improvement. If you’re concerned with privacy, take a look at Arch Linux or Gentoo to install only the components you want, or if you are looking for extreme privacy, check out Tails or possibly QubesOS. Those are probably not the place to start learning about Linux but you mentioned privacy. Ubuntu, Fedora, etc. all have telemetry and crap built in so if you want privacy/anonymity you should look at other systems like the ones I mentioned. Have fun, good luck.
Imagine this technology is perfected and we can actually grow humans in the lab. At what point do we say, “That’s a person who has rights?” Will corporations spring up who grow your perfect child in the lab and delivers it to you? What if eventually they do what Monsanto has done with seeds and make them non-viable for offspring? What if military or corporations start mass producing slaves for their nefarious reasons?
They’re hosting on tor, they probably don’t want internet hosted fonts from Google. There are tons of CC licenses fonts available that are very useable.
You can physically isolate by running multiple independent switches, you could run different subnets on the same switches or you could VLAN separate but that would require a managed switch or setting up your topology that something tags the traffic with the proper vid before running on the unmanaged switches. All have their pros and cons but i would strongly recommend getting a managed switch (managed firewalls/routers/switches depending on features/port count can all fill that need) and doing VLAN separation if you don’t have a lot of equipment you’re starting out with.
Tailscale would take less than 30 minutes to set up including software install and login on server and any client device (phone, laptop, etc). It uses wireguard, it just hosts the public part for connection management.
Of the three, I vote C, but would prefer a simpler design, e.g. no stars in the background, maybe monochrome
