Its an exaggerated non-issue
Linux is not a uniform userbase. Many systems will be affected by this. Many users will be fine because they use a well used and maintained distro. Many servers and embedded systems will not be fine.
That raspi running your pihole that is never updated? Yeah that might just stop booting next time there is a poweroutage and you wouldn’t know what’s up.
You most likely pay for a maximum CPU capacity and your Server cant go above that no matter what you run. Your vps provider doesn’t care what that CPU power is used for.
However with limited resources, the tarpit might use up all CPU power and the rest of the webserver will crawl to a halt.
wg-quick creates a systemd service for each wireguard config you have. So if you set up a tunel called wg0, you should be able to run ‘sudo systemctl enable wg-quick@wg0’ This will make your tunnel connect on every boot. I have the same setup on my proxmox, so i can reach certain services of my homelab proxied through a root server (the other end of the wireguard tunnel)
Yeah with lossy compression the future is today!
Easy, just replace each byte of data with multiple bytes of metadata. I see no problem here
But you dont what the code of the assembly-style centered div in your codebase. Because nobody will be able to read it and understand what it even does. There are abstraction specific ways to solve problems and the right way to do something in assembly is not the right way to do it in CSS.
Decryption is not related to root permission.
If the ENCRYPTED drive is mounted to the container, then the container can decrypt it.
If the DECRYPTED drive is mounted to the container, then the container never knows it was encrypted in the first place.
Second case is easier BTW. Just mount the drive on your host, type in the encryption password and you get a new, unencrypted drive. Specify this new drive in your docker compose/docker file.
Generally, Linux Servers are best administered from a command line. At least in the beginning to set everything up. In turn they are faster on lower hardware as they dont even have a graphical desktop at all so need less resources. You could of course install a windows server OS. They can be fully administered through Remote Desktop and a GUI.
There are multiple projects to make self hosting more accessible (like casaOS). They automate many steps of the setup and then offer you a webUI for further steps. Maybe have a look here https://github.com/awesome-selfhosted/awesome-selfhosted?tab=readme-ov-file#self-hosting-solutions
“Power tripping bastard” = a mod abusing their power, usually by banning people they dont like personally instead of bans because of actuall rules violations
Off topic, but how do you do that on Lemmy? In jerboa there is no option (that I know off) to browse another instance. Do you open your home instance in one browser tab and the one you want to explore in another and once you find a community you like you switch to the other tab and subscribe to it there?
The system where someone monopolizes a essential good and leverages that to gain power is called anarcho-capitalism and is a whole different thing. In anarchy, ownership on that level does not exist. Neither a company nor a person can own a factory, or a farm, or the power grid. Employment doesn’t exist. People can band together and distribute tasks for a common goal (such as producing a certain good) but they all hold equal stake in all decisions.
Of course a group of people could use violence to oppress other people. But then you no longer have anarchy. The same way a democracy stops beeing a democracy once a group seizes power and doesn’t allow fair elections anymore.
It becomes a whole different thing when you yourself are a creator of any kind. Sure you can retorrent TBs of movies. But you can’t retake that video from 3 years ago. I have about 2 TB of photos I took. I classify that as media.
That is true for any fandom. Why is being a fan if flavour x software bad but being a fan of flavour x car or flavour x sports team is OK?
German here: in german all nouns have a gender. and virtually all nouns used to describe people in general are male (like user, human, citizen) and a majority of professions as well. As such using male pronouns in documentation is common as you refer to a user (and the word user has male gender). However there is a big debate in Germany about gender inclusive language that moves away from this “generic masculinity” of nouns. And of course the political left is pro inclusivity while the right is against it.
So if a (german) dev is actively defending the use of male-only pronouns they probably fall into the anti-invlusive-language camp in Germany as well. Its reasonable they would make the mistake when just translating from German, but starting a fight over changing it is sus.
