What was your public school infamous for? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

We had shootings and my locker-mate died in a motorcycle accident. This was in the 90s, so.. the usual by today's standards?

What search engine should I use? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago

All of them at once: SearXNG.

It aggregates results from whichever you select.

What side hustles have you personally seen work pretty well? in c/[email protected]

This is not a good side hustle. This is pain. Pure, unadulterated, pain.

If you're familiar with Fittrackee and/or Wanderer, any comparisons?

Yup. No-one (non techie) needs a specific Linux distro. They're all easy to use for normie activities once installed.

Pretty sure YouTube's beat scientists to this.

It's about the changes in microgravity, extreme G and light. Pure guess, but it's perhaps testing for travel as much as inhabitant.

What distro do you use and why? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

Debian. Used to use others but realized they all just added crap I didn't want, or could add myself with a simple script.

I was a Slackware then Fedora, then Ubuntu as my daily drivers (whipe trying other distros, or Kali for specific purposes) before settling here.

StreetComplete: A fun way to contribute to OpenStreetMap in c/[email protected]

Take the location limit off. Way too annoying for common OSM updates.

What's the most "set and forget" Linux distro that's still flexible these days? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 days ago

Same. I can barely even tell what "good" Ubuntu brings to the table other than the task bar icons, which I just add in with am extension.

Lemmy Defederation Sync (LDS) to keep your block list up to date (github.com)
 

Hi all, I'm a Lemmy FOSS app contributor that's made a couple of tools for people starting small instances including Lemmy Community Seeder (LCS) for building content on new server's All Feeds and Lemmy Post Purger (LPP) for clearing old posts on smaller instances.

Today I'm releasing Lemmy Defederation Sync (LDS). When launching a new Lemmy instance, administrators may not understand the necessity of defederation with problem instances. Using LDS, you can sync your instance's "blocked instance" list with that of another server(s) whose admins you trust.

Why doesn't Ubuntu support encrypted hibernate out of the box? (lemmy.nowsci.com)
 

I've never had an issue once its set up. Just a 16GB LUKS partition alongside my normal LUKS partition, a small edit to /etc/crontab so I only have to enter the password once, set the RESUME variable, add to fstab, and rebuild init. This method even works with suspend-then-hibernate on every laptop I've used it with.

This would take 5 seconds at install time, but instead you have to install, reboot to the live USB, shrink LV, shrink PV, shrink LUKS, shrink partition, repartition, grow LUKS, grow PV, grow LV, and finally set up the swap partition as above.

Am I the only one? Does anyone else use encrypted drives and hibernate?

Lemmy Community Seeder (LCS) - For pre-populating the "All" feed (github.com)
 

When launching a new Lemmy instance, your All feed will have very little populated. Also as a small instance, new communities that crop up may never make their way to you. LCS is a tool to seed communities, so your users have something in their All feed, right from the start. It tells your instance to pull the top communities and the communities with the top posts from your favorite instances.

How to run manually and in docker is included in the repo.

Let me know if there's anything anyone needs it to do and I'll see if I can fit it in. I'm going to work on a "purge old posts that are unsaved and not commented on by local users" first, since small instances are sure to run out of disk space.
