more like 1000:1.

you know these cats? because the site is joke; like, check out the faq. and says “we” a lot, who’s that? who’s moderating spam and scams and abuse and such? how are they financing the infra? the name, dios mio…

maybe open with what this is, first time I heard of it. to anyone similarly clueless, that’s a proxy for other people to use that can’t get at Signal’s servers because it’s blocked in their country or sumsuch.

in nginx you set up a proxy, like mysignalproxy.net:80 gets proxy_pass to your internal network’s 172.16.12.34:980 and the same for 443

the simplest config is thus:

server {
    listen 80 http;

    server_name mysignalproxy.net;

    proxy_pass http://172.16.12.34:980/;

    proxy_pass_request_headers on;
    proxy_set_header Host $host;
    etc

who’s “desperate”? I don’t wanna reboot to get new package updates. that’s a stupid concept that was done with in like Windows 98 days. I don’t reboot my desktop or my phone for weeks, that’s hella comfortable and I’m not going back from that.

if the crowd pushing the immutable stack would lead with that, or at very least mention it, I’d keep shtum.

I haven’t kept up with that clown but if that’s a reference to the time he attempted to switch, that was a top-gear-like slapstick show, consisting of making wrong turns at every fork and having outliers galore in the form of some hardware he and one other dude on the entire planet got. that show of his is infotainment, as in not a reliable source of information.

you go with the beginner-friendliest distro, with the widest distribution which is ubuntu. that ain’t the distro I’m running, but it’s something you need to go through to figure out how this shit runs. after you’ve been around the block a time or two and you start bumping your head at the ceiling, you’ll have enough experience to switch to something better.

you have an excellent path as you can truly appreciate fedora only if you’ve been through ubuntu’s abuse i.e. the snap crap. my contention is that fedora should never be the first distro, but the next step, after you’ve figured out what’s what with ubuntu or mint.

KDE don’t got “closer relations” with fedora, it’s just that you’ll get new shit sooner. and fedora is the antithesis of LTS.

the only issue hindering normal, everyday use is rectified by following the step-by-step instructions from rpmfusion (codecs and GPU drivers).

not this. you need to reboot every time to get new shit. that’s antithetical to how I’ve used desktopS (plural, yo) since the early aughts. my shit gets suspended in the evening and woken in the morning with all apps and windows how I left them. rebooting and breaking my flow makes this thing is a non-starter.

first off, every time you see any of them visionaries claiming they gonna build this and that, think musk bullshits “in two years yadda yadda yadaa” so take that with a bag of salt.

second, what no “nostromo” the size of a city where one can walk about, have leisurely meals and discuss the bonus situation anytime soon?!

thanks, this looks good, gonna try it out with my next build

in case you didn’t know, jellyfin has support for hosting your books, and if you install the OPDS plugin, any compatible reader (librera, moon+, etc.) can pull books directly off the server and open them for reading.

first time I heard of this, thanks. so running it thusly it’s no different than a copr or apt repo?

can someone who runs arch btw on weak hardware, like dual-core U-series i5 and such, tell me how they’re handling AUR and friends? every time I bring that up I get downvotes as if I’m some MICROS~1 agent paid to besmirch arch btw’s good name and whatnot…

the idea that I hafta build and compile shit on a puny dual-core in 2026 is fucking ludicrous to me, never mind the bloat and cruft from all the build tools and deps for every possible stack. so what obvious solution am I missing? like, how do you handle a full system upgrade, say you got like ten things from AUR in addition to regular packages, what does that look like?

you’re nowhere close to RAM exhaustion. I had similar mishaps on an all-AMD system a few gens back and it manifested itself as micro-stutters that occasionally grew to such manifestations. I think I remember it was fixed via a combination of kernel switches and progressively better performance as new versions of kernel and modules/drivers progressed.

no idea what KDE Neon is based on (Ubuntu LTS?), but I’m guessing you rock pretty old kernels and relatively modern hardware, which is a pain. also you don’t need a swapfile, use zram. or just switch to fedora or sumsuch that takes care of all them things for you.

you did what? I mean, dude, give with the pictures, wtf!

this is a problemXY type of deal. leave the work PC alone. metrolist on android has everything you mentioned, allows download so it’s even available offline, etc.

was about to add this. kinda sad that I had to give up my searxng instance because I can’t get ublacklist to work on it (works on some public instances)

the whole immutable distro idea is just ludicrous to me, in order to upgrade the software, i.e. the new image that got downloaded, I hafta reboot - what the fuck, is this windows 98? I reboot like never, close my laptop or suspend my desktop in the evening and resume in the morning with all my shit how I left it.

it feels like going the wrong way, wasn’t there some progress on hotswapping kernels after upgrade or sumsuch? that was what I thought we were going towards, this feels so awkward and bad on so many levels, nevermind the bloat of getting a whole new OS image because five packages changed… and the cruft and fluff of layering packages and adjacent voodoo, dios mio. basically, everything is way shittier because someone might fuck with /usr/bin or wherever…?

apple did this years ago, with little to no friction. but those fucks update the OS coupla times a year, so dealing with this once a quarter ain’t that big of a deal. apple also ships a stellar backup solution with the system that restores the system perfectly, system and user files, whereas no such thing exists over here.

what is with the downvotes, are you people delusional?

there’s supposed to be free stuff out there rivaling the vertically integrated multi-platform tech stack from a trillion dollar corporation, the one that that even they didn’t get right out of the gate, but evolved over almost two decades?

no, nothing close to that exists anywhere. and not only does it not exist, it’s not even being developed nor is it in a pipeline somewhere.
