Get your shortnames while the getting’s good.

I’ve been using Linux for decades, I’ve worked as a software engineer/architect/sre for around a decade, but networking has always been my biggest gap in knowledge.

I have a local server, I have caddy spun up, a glinet router running their version of openwrt, and I have a domain name purchased through porkbun.

I am looking to setup “local.domain.com” to point to my local server, ideally without exposing it publicly, and enable devices on my home network to be able to access it from that url. Id also like to be able to access containers running on that server by something like “searxng.local.domain.com” or “local.domain.com/searxng” aka without using the port suffix. Id also like to enable https.

I have read so many guides that have fragments of what I need, but nothing that ties enough together to get it working. And with all the options around different domain registers, let’s encrypt, reverse proxies, etc, im struggling just a bit.

Are their any guides (prefer text over YouTube, but beggars cant be choosers) that people recommend that encompass the whole process, instead of just pieces? Id like to understand it instead of just fumble through it.

Reinstall the os and forgot to install zram and I paid for it

its in most firefox based browser but i dont see it in tor (videos are blocked at school even on tor with bridge)

I’m fed up with websites that by default give priority to big tech platforms, like when did all of humanity agree that; Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, Twitter, Reddit, Twitch, Goodreads are the websites that everyone is expected to have an account on?!

And the custom links feature is completely treated as an after-thought!

so if you’re setting up your account on whatever service… like say Github or whatever… you probably noticed this special care for Big tech linking

All i want is for my page to look better, but I don’t wanna create an account on any of these shitty surveillance platforms, so let’s hit two birds with one stone, shall we!

I need your help! share resources you know… about Big tech… I’m especially looking for a dedicated website that document each company abuses, and I’ll use these links… so that:

1. my landing page looks populated (aesthetic)
2. Those who visit can learn something

(Now imagine if a lot of people started doing this!) lol xD … better than the clippy movement IMO

I already got a website for Facebook and I’m looking for others dedicated to IG, TK… etc…

still, if you have something better, do link it below… it’s preferable if it’s a dedicated website, and not some form of wiki or a social media post.

Thanks in advance

mmmh tasty.

the post is inspired by some baby food charts. certain charts called regular food “challenging” which i thought sounded like a difficulty mode.

i’m somewhat proud of how this looks. been playing some splatoon raiders which has really good UI. it’s fast to understand and use. wonderful.

it also has these “spicy” and “extra spicy” versions of levels where the enemies are literally displayed as having more salt on them. very funny. would have liked to see some other spices as well but oh well that’s hoping for too much i guess.

which one would you pick?

i wish you a wonderful day in which you get to pick the difficulty.

1Password faced immediate backlash from customers this week over a $300,000 pledge in support of a Linux distro created by David Heinemeier Hansson, who has regularly published overtly racist blog posts that include comments calling for deportation of ethnic minorities in Europe. The popular password manager is now a “distinguished corporate patron” of Omacom, the nonprofit foundation that oversees a popular Linux distribution known as Omarchy.

my package arrived. 40 pcs. horray.

i just got so excited that this thing arrived, i neeeeded to make it a post. also i’m at a bit of a loss for ideas which don’t go too far but also feel fun enough to actually post. i am in a maximally agitated and excited mood but have difficulties getting that out into pictures.

also i had to carry this huge heavy box with this chicken and a bomb on it aalllll the way through town, it was weird. reminds me of that one “lookie lookie i’ve got a cookie” post someone made some time ago. like - that box was LARGE… there was one, only one unprinted side. i put that to the front and went with it. gosh. scary. felt like i was carrying something peeps shouldn’t see…

i wish you a wonderful day in which you feel free to show others what you enjoy.

indeed very comfy.

was about time for some more purpleposts so here we are.

not sure if the “cloud border” looks good. i think the idea is good but maybe not the execution. maybe the first cloud border could have been inverted to show Whites senses being kinda filled. hmm maybe.

the whole “border” bit was kinda an afterthought really so eeeeeh-… i just didn’t like how the blankie was just cut off like that so ye.

i wish you a wonderful and comfortable day.

pulling you along and getting you a crêpe.

yes, a christmas special outside of winter, how nice. crêpes really are quite something. so very nice when it’s cold outside, so very easy to burn your mouth with.

while making this i thought of stardew valley winter music. very calming. i want winter to be here now. i want my hot chocolate while looking outside where it’s cold.

i wish you a wonderful day ~

so very patient. would wait longer if told to. but how long would it wait? at which point does the reward seem unreachable?

the more i post here, the more i can’t show this profile to friends anymore. it’s like reeeeeally direct with some stuff. not this post tho, this one is as tame as the bunny in the image. first time drawing a bunny… maybe ever.

i guess specifically because i only make oc stuff, it’s just a lot more personal. no matter how much i say “this is Lilac saying that, not me!”, i am still the one putting those words in the speech bubbles. oh well.

are you polite? do you apologize when you sneeze? i don’t, because i sneeze so quietly that peeps don’t even notice it most of the time.

i wish you a wonderful day where you don’t have to wait long for your reward.

i did this and slept in like 30 minutes. usually takes 3 hours. wowie, what a lifehack.

having something to hug onto or to just have besides you is surprisingly nice. when you pull back, blanket 1 moves your direction. when you lean in, you feel that movement from behind.

something something deep pressure maybe. it’s not that deep. i have weighted blankies but they are too exhausting to deal with and… they are okay but i usually remove them at somepoint.

but this!!! this is it, maybe. who knows.

i wish you a wonderful day and sweet dreams (for later… or now)

no need to ponder what happened. it’s okay.

wanted to make something like this. sometimes things just happen and that’s okay.

very open to interpretation, yesyes, very purposefully so. have fun.

i wish you a wonderful day in which you are able to forgive yourself <3

wanted to make one of these for a while. now i have. whatever.

• i took the energy drink image from here

thinking is fun but oh gosh can it get repetitive. the mind has no repetition_penalty built in, in fact: it usually rewards thinking similar things over and over again.

this is generic enough that i can just post it here right? yea this is fine. i am my own filer and that filter says “whatever, doesn’t matter, i got no secrets anyway, who cares. i don’t”. so i’m posting it.

next one is gonna be more fun, trust me. yeye this one is more or less “oh no i only got that much time before i need to sleep so this is what im gonna make” kinda thing. yes.

oh well, imma wait for “good time” now, whatever whatever.

i wish you a wonderful day in which you feel in control of yourself.

yes the sausage bits are vegan, don’t worry and no there is no cream or whatever in this. it’s all good ~ everyone can have this soup… okay besides if you are allergic to gluten. if so, i’m very sorry, we will also make another main dish so you don’t feel weird about it. everyone is served.

• the background image was taken from here

so i was on some matrix chat and yapped and then wrote something cuz goooosh i got such… energy in me and i just don’t know where to safely put it so i wrote the bit and i really gotta put more posts to catch up again (still gotta make one more) so now this is what you get. i postified version of a message i sent on matrix. i’m sorry for the stark quality decline buuuuut… maybe you’ll still enjoy this.

potato soup is really tasty, it’s reasonably healthy, it makes me go “aaaah yees i like this”, it’s a true feel-good-food and it makes you full!
and when you are full, it’s not the tummy ache type, but the wonderful nice warm “aaaaah this is nice” type of full. the one where petting ones tummy feels comforting <3

yea i … i really don’t know where to put this energy. i got A LOT of it, like - ooh gosh so much of it like oh no like way too much of it i can barely sleep but where to put --------- oh well. whenever i yap about ML stuff here peeps get mad so i shouldn’t.
yes you get to have first-class access into my chain-of-thought right now.
well what stuff is on my mind? it’s… hmm.

• mama energy, oh so much of that yea
• oh gosh hrt
• ~someone~ ~but~ ~that~ ~doesn’t~ ~matter~
• spicy noodles
• plant-based chili cheese tortillas from BK
• gosh i wanna get those burgers yasssss
• recent ML efficiency gains and sparse attention splatting paradigms
• the fact that i should probably continue playing splatoon raiders
• some really funky songs from rhythm heaven groove. see here and here
• idunno, voting stuff in Sachsen-Anhalt
• Robert Habeck <3

and like - i mean - these are almost sorted by intensity so like - idunno. i’m like… so warm. probably from the potato soup. no wait i didn’t actually have any today, at least not real potato soup like one can see in the post. yea no i wanna make posts but sometimes i’m like “gosh that almost doesn’t feel like it’s enough” aaaaaand then i write stories and scenarios and never actually post them anywhere.

so here i am, posting a scenario. horray. this better finally break my 100+ likes streak so i can post other stuff again.

i wish you a wonderful day in which you feel warm. not in the uncomfortable way but in the “aah this is nice” way.

Exit polls have the far-right AfD leading the Social Democrats in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania and the Left Party ahead in Berlin. Merz referred to the outcome as “a disaster”. DW has more.

Beware the Computerworld’s article 🙄 that’s about NATO Office 🙄🙄

Nextcloud wants to close the gap with Microsoft Office with the introduction of a new Euro-Office desktop client for Windows, macOS, and Linux — one of numerous updates to its Nextcloud Hub suite.

Nextcloud has developed a desktop app for its Euro-Office-based productivity applications, filling a gap in the software suite that it pitches as a sovereign alternative to Microsoft Office.

Nextcloud, one of the backers of the Euro-Office initiative, integrated the software into its Nextcloud Office suite in June. Until now, it’s been accessible via a web browser or mobile app.

The new desktop client lets users edit documents, spreadsheets, and presentations locally, and sync files online for collaborative editing. It will be available for Linux, macOS, and Windows in the coming weeks.

“For organizations and individuals who prefer a traditional desktop experience, this closes one of the last gaps between Euro-Office and Microsoft Office, without handing control of their data to a non-European vendor,” Nextcloud said in a press release.

Rather than a standalone application suite, Euro-Office is designed as an integration component that’s embedded into productivity applications, such as Nextcloud Hub. Euro-Office handles document editing, while other elements such as storage and permissions managed by the wider platform.

The open-source project, which is built on OnlyOffice’s codebase, is backed by Nextcloud as well as Eurostack, Ionos, Office.eu, Proton, XWiki, and others. More than 40 individuals have contributed code to Euro-Office, according to Nextcloud, with around 15% of contributions from outside of the organizations directly involved in project.

Euro-Office supports OOXML file formats for compatibility with Microsoft Office, as well as OpenDocument Format (ODF) files, including ODT, ODS and ODP. The Document Foundation, which is responsible for development of LibreOffice, another open-source productivity suite, has previously questioned the Euro-Office initiative’s preference for Microsoft file formats over ODF.

Organizations using Euro-Office include Germany’s Deutsche Telekom Security and Destek, a Turkish IT consultancy, according to Nextcloud. Other customers in countries such as France, Switzerland, and Philippines are currently evaluating the software.

But it’s still early days for Euro-Office. Open-source software initiatives often face a challenge in gaining traction among a broad enterprise audience, said Martha Bennett, VP and principal analyst at Forrester.

“Euro-Office hasn’t really proven itself at the kind of scale that large enterprises are looking for. That’s of course not unique to Euro-Office; all potential open-source alternatives face the same issue,” she said.

“Obviously, it’s a bit of a chicken-and-egg situation — without somebody taking the leap, it’s not possible to provide that proof.” Nextcloud Hub Summer 26 updates

Among the other announcements with the Summer 26 updates are changes to management of teams within Nextcloud Hub. An updated Nextcloud Teams app, which is now available in the app menu, provides users with an overview of the teams they belong to. Each team features a folder with shared resources such as files and tasks, which Nextcloud notes is similar to Microsoft’s approach with Teams and SharePoint.

Nextcloud now also enables the creation of team-owned files, starting with Nextcloud Collectives and Deck, with additional apps in future. The aim is to ensure that all team members can access a file, even if the creator leaves the team workspace. For admins, there are new tools to view and manage team folders, including configuring storage quotas.

Among the other announcements are updates to Nextcloud Text — a lightweight text editor available across several apps — with version comparisons, footnotes, and references available throughout a document, and inline comments. Nextcloud Tables, a database app, now has relational columns that link data in cells across multiple tables, and the ability to import and export table structure — such as columns, views, and table-based apps — without changing data.

With Nextcloud’s AI Assistant, users can now upload an image and ask questions about it or translate text, while the chatbot will also recall information across conversations.

UI improvements include a revamped search experience that displays results from across Nextcloud Hub files, messages, and events, with filter options such as date range and people. App menu icons have been updated to make apps easier to recognize, and new animations throughout the interface make navigation and interactions “feel more fluid and easier to follow,” said Nextcloud.

i wish you a wonderful day in which you eat something really tasty

For me, it’s Gintama. It’s iconic, easily identifiable, and makes sense on a musical level. On the last point, I’m not knowledgeable on the theory, but the Gintama soundtrack, in general, is enjoyable to listen too. If I have to pick one favorite song there, it’s Katsura’s theme.

• Songs of the Past is now available to wishlist ahead of its 2027 release. It will take players to the brand new realm of Letten — an idyllic land of rural tradition that hides a dark secret just below the surface.
• Remastered — a free upgrade for existing The Witcher 3 owners on qualifying platforms — brings a slew of upgrades and enhancements to visuals, performance, gameplay, and more when it launches on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.
• The Witcher 3 is coming to two brand new platforms. A native version of Remastered will be released on Nintendo Switch 2, and through a new partnership between CD PROJEKT RED and Blizzard Entertainment, Battle.net — both on September 29.
• All owners of The Witcher 3 can now play to two acclaimed expansions — Hearts of Stone and Blood and Wine — at no additional cost.

Firefox says it will keep supporting uBlock Origin even as Microsoft Edge and other Chromium browsers phase it out under Manifest V3.

What’s your favour American food?

I’ll preface this by saying I’m not an AI buff. I use it (unpaid) mostly for a search aid or assistance with setting up services in my homeserver (new to homelabbing) when I get stuck, as I don’t have an unlimited amount of time to devote to it due to life obligations.

My question is: Do you feel it is ethical and/or moral to use AI to develop FOSS?

I’m genuinely torn on this issue. Part of me feels it’s counterintuitive, yet the another part of me knows the probability of it going away are slim to none and using it to develop FOSS is a way to “use it against itself”, for lack of a better term.

This is my first post on Lemmy. I’m asking to please keep it cordial. I’m not looking for an elitist lecture. I genuinely want to know the community’s thoughts.

P.S. I’ve toyed with local models, but I don’t have the hardware to make them remotely useful. I’m still learning and tweaking to see what can be achieved on limited hardware.
