I installed Mint in a cheap mini PC to self host, and have had problems with external USB storage drives.

They kept dismounting, until I realised you have to give them a permanent mount location (why?!).

And they kept losing power because Linux had a default setting that USB devices ‘auto suspend’ after some time. This took ages to diagnose, and command line stuff to fix 😔

Other than that it seems to be a solid distro.

Also - I think these distros should make it simpler to partition the SSD on install. I used to easily do that when building Windows PCs but it was not clear I was making the right choices with Mint, so I went with the default.

Oh… I thought it meant that those cookie banners were ‘false consent’ and therefore render the data collected to be illegal?

Please provide more info - I would like to learn more about this subject!

That is a great find. Thank you!

Oh wow, you’re right!

I wonder how they set that up? DDG has thousands of bangs but not one for Lemmy - probably because it is not at one single URL?

It would be cool if there was an operator that would force the search into Lemmy content. Are they called bangs? Like starting with !r

Totally. And that “legitimate interest” nonsense takes ages to click through 🤦

Damn, I hadn’t even thought about the environment impact! Is there any research quantifying that?

I do support them already 😊

But you’re right about this government - they just got exposed for being corrupt with big tech https://archive.is/DlUeE

Thank you! The Vivaldi team are great 😁

Great idea! Two things

• E2EE is a default in privacy by design so consider CryptPad for docs instead
• change the name. Inline Style is terrible (sorry but to a native English speaker it sounds lame). How about just Inline?

Totally. Never let a crisis go to waste.

And if there’s no crisis, invent one.

I thought that I would need Yunohost to take care of all the web hosting stuff in the back ground…? Are you saying to just push files into the VPS barebones, or into Yunohosts website app shell? (Sorry I’m new to VPS stuff).

And how would you push the files from Codeberg? what is the method?

really? It works with just http? that is weird.

It suggests to me that the web hosting company we are using don’t know what they’re doing. We’re going to change.

If I host a website on Yunohost can I push the files from Codeberg to it using git?

Does anyone know if you can deploy files to Yunohost using Git? Or via a url from a git repository?

I’d like to host a website using Yunohost, and push the files to it from Codeberg.

good points, well written.

On the conspiracy point: Would it help to distinguish between standard use of micro-targeting (flooding the zone with shit and targeting swing voters) and foreign gov interference?

I find both to be shocking, but perhaps the latter is more conspiracy like. And the latter requires the misuse of the RTB system (e.g. the Russian military paying to pose as advertisers to get access to the RTB data), whereas the former is just an ugly byproduct of using the RTB system legally.

The site is hosting by a hosting company - and they assure me that the cert is fine.

If I was self hosting I’d expect these problems, but not with a hosting company.

The only difference with this company is that they do not use any big tech infrastructure - they have their own servers. I wonder if big tech has something they don’t…?

Interesting!

And then Fuckerberg would gaslight us by declaring that “public health is dead”

Orgs have to wean themselves off big tech dollars. Painful, but has to happen. They’ll have to restructure and refocus. Maybe cut out the AI stuff and focus on core functionality?

lol you’re right up there with the person suggesting doxxing just to show them it can be done…!

Having said that I did read about someone who tried to locate themselves using publically findable information, and they managed it. It freaked them out a bit, so to do it to someone else would be wild.
