Why something that old? WiFi standards move on and so does security.

However, if it isn't Broadcom you probably can get OpenWRT running

possiblylinux127 ,
@possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip avatar

Not for WiFi. You can get a cheap WiFi 5 device that will work way better. Just flash Openwrt to a supported device and you are golden.

Is it practically impossible for a newcomer selfhost without using centralised services, and get DDOSed or hacked?

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....

If you do it right you shouldn't get hacked. Even if you do you can keep good immutable backups so you can restore. Also make sure you monitor everything for bad behavior or red flags.

People who ho get compromised are the ones who expose a password authentication service with a short memorable password

possiblylinux127 ,
@possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip avatar

This is honestly true. Just follow good security practices

@possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip avatar

Then block them there are tools that restrict abuse

Don't drink soda and especially don't trash talk a soda flavor while drinking another equally artificially sweetened drink. Soda is bad for you end of story. If you choose to drink it you are limiting your life span and quality of life. Its your call but don't do marketing for a massive industry.

They are both pure sugar

possiblylinux127 ,
@possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip avatar

Do you even eat anything that isn't pure sweet? I don't eat a lot of sugary things so when I do it all gets overwhelmed by intense sweetness

possiblylinux127 ,
@possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip avatar

It isn't

possiblylinux127 ,
@possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip avatar

You don't need soda to enjoy life

possiblylinux127 ,
@possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip avatar

I mean, you are not wrong

possiblylinux127 ,
@possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip avatar

I just drink water

possiblylinux127 ,
@possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip avatar

I don't drink soda very often but they kind of do to me. Not entirely the same but the same theme. Those "sugar free" beverages are awful though

Water and sometimes coffee for me

possiblylinux127 ,
@possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip avatar

It is a problem because it is very high in sugar. Also the carbonation is bad for your bones.

A little sugar isn't bad but we are talking something that is pure sugar in a form that can be consumed easily. This makes soda bad as you can easily exceed health limits.

kde , to KDE

Phone Link is Microsoft's late and closed source alternative to KDE Connect. It requires you sign in to a Microsoft Account for it to work.

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/phone-link-requirements-and-setup-cd2a1ee7-75a7-66a6-9d4e-bf22e735f9e3

This means all the transactions between your phone and your PC are monitored and sucked up by Microsoft.

@kde

@possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip avatar

Audio and video sharing would be really handy. I wonder if KDE connect might do this at some point

possiblylinux127 ,
@possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip avatar

On Windows you need audio drivers. Why? We will never know

possiblylinux127 ,
@possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip avatar

Why? Also isn't that a PCI card not a PCIe card? I don't do much audio but it seems like on board would be easier

possiblylinux127 ,
@possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip avatar

I doubt it. Unless your motherboard is really old I think it won't matter. Sound is easy to do these days.

Get used

@possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip avatar

Can't you just use a barrel jack?

possiblylinux127 ,
@possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip avatar

I haven't had that in well over 10 years

possiblylinux127 ,
@possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip avatar

Why can't you just bake them into the kernel? Windows doesn't need a separate keyboard driver.

possiblylinux127 ,
@possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip avatar

That feels like a myth from the 90s

@possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip avatar

Take a look at your board. How many sources of interference do you see? Historically a lot of the board was analog. Now they are digital. Unless your board is a fire hazard that shouldn't happen. It just isn't how it works. If USB affects audio you machine is probably toast and fuses should of blown.

When you realize Obi-Wan Kenobi was a civil war general

possiblylinux127 OP ,
@possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip avatar

Not because he had slaves or anything

possiblylinux127 OP ,
@possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip avatar

Calling it Lee anything is pretty dark. The name comes from slavery and and discrimination. It is tied to white supremacy groups that go around and hang African Americans they don't like. Black Americans were dragged out of houses by a mob and then beaten heavily before finally being hung on a tree branch. (The KKK is the group I'm referring to)

Of course this was not all of America and this kind of behavior has since stopped and we now we aim to stop racism not promote it.

Here are the lyrics to a Billie Holiday song called "strange fruit" (it is in reference to lynchings)

[Verse 1]

Southern trees bear a strange fruit
Blood on the leaves and blood at the root
Black bodies swinging in the Southern breeze
Strange fruit hanging from the poplar trees

[Verse 2]

Pastoral scene of the gallant south
The bulging eyes and the twisted mouth
Scent of magnolias, sweet and fresh
Then the sudden smell of burning flesh

[Verse 3]

Here is a fruit for the crows to pluck
For the rain to gather, for the wind to suck
For the sun to rot, for the tree to drop
Here is a strange and bitter crop

possiblylinux127 OP ,
@possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip avatar

I don't think Lee is Chinese only

The word for mother is very similar across languages which is wild. It isn't even the only similar word.
