Very cool. Wireshark is one of those things that has been around for so long it’s easy to take for granted, so it is nice to be reminded that it took a huge cooperative effort over more than two decades to get where it is. One of the really great examples of what open source can do.

Yeah, I like having a few isos on Ventoy for live booting from random PCs for troubleshooting. Very convenient being able to have multiple architectures, DEs, versions of distros to boot from on one drive.

It is well established, if niche, software. I think your sketchometer needs calibration.

Also came here to mention Termux. It can be useful being able to ssh into devices and control them from my phone.

Because then we are just a cheap reddit clone. I’d rather see Lemmy continue developing on its own terms.

Odd that you’ve had so much trouble with Linux. My experience generally had been that it requires more time on initial config, then it just keeps working unless you change something.

I figure anything important I will either hear about or see on _reddit Lemmy.

The post is not about prisoners.

Wtf? Its a ridiculous BS situation that support is dropped so fast, but if you do anything remotely sensitive on your phone you should absolutely use a device receiving security support.

There’s no game I don’t eventually get tired of, but here are three that are fantastic and I can recommend playing for hours and hours:

• FTL
• Slay the Spire
• Darkest Dungeon

All indie titles, none of them new, still fantastic and well worth it if you haven’t played any on this list. Also all challenging roguelikes, so be warned. =P

I’ve thought about it, but I prefer to install things from fdroid so I can get updates without having to check for it on their repository. If no alternatives pop up there soon I may just grab the apk.

I like it a lot, but it has a lot of bugs that drive me crazy. Particularly with the Jerboa app, but also on the web. That’s part of the early days for any software, though, especially one undergoing an explosion in its userbase. I’m happy to stick it out, and Lemmy is already a ~90% replacement for what reddit has been to me for the last 10+ years (feels weird to say that).

I would recommend Mint for an easier transition, its what I jumped to from Ubuntu due to Canonical’s behavior and I’ve been happy. It is definitely simpler to use than Debian - which is not to say anything bad about Debian. It’s just less hand-holdy. I like it for servers.

Possible yes, but does that really seem like reality to you in this situation? It doesn’t to me.

I don’t understand why there is so much defense for this in the comments. Amazon is a huge company with professional design teams, if part of their checkout process is even a little misleading in favor of an upsell it is definitely intentional.

Emphasis on “a bit,” it truly is a simple task to automate. I don’t think that anyone who has need for dynamic DNS should realistically have much trouble tackling that problem.

For anyone who might attempt this and isn’t sure how, here’s what you need. You need a service controlling your domain with API support for updating your DNS records - some have been mentioned here, I just use gandi.net. You need to enable the API for your account/domain. Figure out how to run the command you need against the API from a scripting language of your choice - there should be documentation for the API, and it should be a single API call. Figure out how to determine your server IP from within the same scripting language. Then, write your simple script that determines the right IP and updates the record if it doesn’t match.

All you need to do then is automate running the script - on Linux, a cron job or a systemd service and timer.

I am on Mint, but I have a GPU accelerated VM running Windows 10 for gaming. It performs very well, but you run into the occasional game that detects VMs and will refuse to run.
