I understand that people enter the world of self hosting for various reasons. I am trying to dip my toes in this ocean to try and get away from privacy-offending centralised services such as Google, Cloudflare, AWS, etc....
I feel like you have the wrong idea of what hacking acting a actually is... But yes, as long as you don't do anything too stupid line forwarding all of your ports or going without any sort of firewall, the chances of you getting hacked are very low...
As for DDOSing, you can get DDOSed with or without self hosting all the same, but I wouldn't worry about it.
I've been working on converting my gaming PC to Linux for a few weeks, but everything is running, but it all is just a little jankier than I would like....
If you're a beginner... or hate jank, don't use Arch. And make sure you're using a desktop environment that supports Wayland (GNOME or KDE). Gaming on X11 can be buggy, janky and inconsistent
That documentation is supposed to explain how a thing works to people who don't know how it works. I know, sounds extremely obvious, but you'd be surprised how much documentation out there is written in a way, expecting you to already know what it's talking about. No. I do not. It is the documentation's job to explain ME what IT is talking about...
I know, but a library or a piece of software should explain it's own functions. I might know my way around the tech stack, but if you don't explain what your library does, I have no way of knowing it...
This is sort of a follow-up to my previous post, asking about migrating ZFS pools to a new machine. Migration went smoothly and the new machine is quite the nice upgrade, if I may say so myself I went from:...
I've recently been looking at options to upgrade (completely replace) my current NAS, as it's currently more than a little bit jank and frankly kinda garbage. I have a few questions about that and about migrating my current TrueNAS scale installation or at least it's settings over....
I am not gonna be changing my drives, just the server itself and just wanna make sure I don't screw up my ZFS pools, as that does not sound fun. As for the hardware I'm looking at itself, it's not new ( a used server) but it's sure as hell better than what I have now I'm
I've been running TrueNAS scale for a while and my only issue with it has been having to create a virtual bridge so that my VMs can ping the host and vice versa, been a pretty smooth experience other than that. As for the performance overhead... my replacement server is VERY beefy, compared to my old one so I couldn't care less lol.
I mean, the title really says it all. It occurs seemingly at random, but not all the time and I've been unable to determine any pattern to it... I'm using the latest proton stable version and pipewire-pulse for audio. Any ideas on how to fix it?
I've never gotten the point of ultrawide. It's bigger and more expensive than 3 monitors, yet can fit as much as 1... Because yk, you can only have 1 fullscreen window per monitor.
At this point, making something that doesn't work using Wine or Proton is actually kind of an achievement, so congrats EA, you managed to fuck up both Origin and EA app. The actual game runs flawlessly, it's the launchers that are all kinds of broken.
Think of linux as desktop android... That's probably the best advice I can give you. Depending on which distro you choose, they'll have different app stores. GNOME Software for some, discover (yes, that's the name of the program) for others, Pop!Shop for Pop!OS. As for managing apps - avoid installing snaps. Other than that, don't worry about it.
Pretty much all cloud providers are supported on linux, most of them just don't have bespoke apps and get added directly to your file manager. Some distros have a step during the initial setup, where you can log into accounts and what not, which should setup stuff like OneDrive automatically. And if not, i don't think setting them up manually is too hard.
Do not install/uninstall stuff from the terminal. Most self-respecting user friendly distros have an app store which does all the things for you. Installing things from the terminal/the internet should be a last resort, only if the thing you want to install is not available anywhere else.
As for my distro recommendations... try Fedora KDE or Linux Mint.
Moths, especially the big ones... idk, they are just insanely terrifying to me. I know they cannot hurt me, I know they are harmless, they terrify the life out of me
Is it practically impossible for a newcomer selfhost without using centralised services, and get DDOSed or hacked?

Sorry I can't do it.

Who agrees that the Internet and social media are toxic?
Which do you prefer? A triple monitor setup? Or one single 32:9 ultrawide monitor?
I have a triple monitor setup right now, but am thinking of trying a single ultrawide monitor. What is your preference?
