On windows 10 notepad is just plain old notepad, the same since ever. When did it got all those extra features in the last 10 years?

But see, we are debating notepad and not recommending Linux, at least…

(Indeed you ate right, I was referring to something I only thought and didn’t wrote: that there would be somebody fretting over how notepad had to have text correction capabilities, and you did, but I didn’t write that, so my answer did not make sense. Probably I am not making sense either now, whatever)

Yep, exactly what i said!

“Ju u- Lin”

A bit less that half reply

/s

Let’s discuss instead why would be good to replace such a solid and no frills tool like notepad at all?

So that people can just shit on windows… Would that be better than use Linux?

… On notepad?

Oh come on, use some word editor if you need autocorrect. Notepad is a quick fast text editor that is mostly used for script editing and small stuff, its supposed to be just a plain text editor.

Having said that, I will shut up but still think that notepad never needed a rehaul.

Domains are cheap, shop around and get the cheapest 1st level you find, and buy a second level under that one.

For example, mylemmy.eu since .eu are by far the cheapest I can buy over here. It can go from 1 buck to 20 Buck per year, even more for special 1st levels (like .love)

The issue here is the USB stick, not the router. Use WiFi no problem but self hosting on a 32gb stick is a disaster waiting to happen, specially with a write intensive task as lemmy.

Edit: go on and experiment. Even with an USB stick… Then after you make experience try with something more stable, like a small pi is well enough or an older PC too is fine.

Get a switch, a cheap 5 ports gigabit one is only like 10 bucks or 20 if you want a reputable brand (not needed).

Or just use WiFi…

See here https://wiki.gardiol.org/doku.php?id=services%3Alemmy for specific lemmy instructions and here https://wiki.gardiol.org/doku.php?id=networking%3Aexternal_access for how to remote access stuff.

While Ethernet is recommended, WiFi will work as well.

The above links are my personal experience only and indeed YEMV.

100% agree.

One point: use an SSO like authelia or authentic. Way better than basic auth and you get the fancy login form too preserving all the benefits, and you can also use OIDC with those services that require more complex setup for proper auth

Yes. The fearmongering of the security freaks is not necessarily true. We selfhosters are not big targets and nobody cares about our files or our devices.

Of course, until you get hacked.

But beside SMTP and ssh and known services like WordPress or PrestaShop there is little actual brute force bots trying hard.

Thank you! This is exactly why I do my wiki, so that people can use and benefit from the work I did before.

Mmm as for the admin console, I will add that, it had slipped from my wiki it seems!

Would it make a difference?

Its not an English speaking country and its in Europe.

My point stand true for all major European languages like French, German, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese and many more.

My native language is directly derived from Latin and we have a very interleaved history with all Eu countries.

I am using English here because this is an English community.

This thread is full of people who think English is the only language in the world. Its not, every language calls places with their own fashion, often different from how they are called natively. Its just how stuff works when in a country people simply don’t speak the “other” language and don’t share the same sounds either.

Calling the places with their original spelling will only create confusion because in that language, that place has a different name.

Its called translations and its how languages work, get over it.

Its not respect or lack of it.

Its just human culture and how it works. If a place is so common that its names very often, it gets a local name, or it got it in the past.

Changing that would bear no consequence on how we see that country/culture/place at all.

What?

In my language we use our names for places. Like London or Paris, we have local language names. For less known places we use the original name, like New York or Birsbane.

Most important is when the name has historical importance for our culture, we most probably have a localized name for it, otherwise we don’t.

And no, we don’t use the “american” names at all

Its cultural, nothing regarding respect.

My personal experience with conduwuit is very positive.

Everything worked including sliding sync for Element X.

Bridges works fine. Threads too (limited to client support ofc), session verification works fine, element call never tried, you need to install a dedicated server anyway, but that’s true also for synapse.

I have 600mq of “lawn”. Its actually native grass that I need to keep trimming 6 months per year. I only water some flowers and plants I added to a specific area for the wife, and only like two months every year if it doesn’t rain.

I was replying to the links post, must have got it wrong :)

So yes, I ended up thanking myself. Well, I always thanks myself anyway for not having screwed up too badly anyway so… ;)

Currently just setup conduwuit, tuwunel will require some more time to be up and ready, but they promised full compatibility upgrade.

See my wiki https://wiki.gardiol.org/doku.php?id=matrix%3Aconduwuit

There are also instructions for all main bridges.

Synapse is meant for heavy duty and is a pretty resource intensive python implementation.

Conduwuit and derivate is in rust and blazing fast on small footprint.
