Ayyyy, congrats! 🎉🎉🎉
You should be able to change your DNS server in your router too so that any new devices don't run into similar issues. Plus it helps with your privacy.
Anyway, glad it all worked out.
Accessing these sites on my phone still works (though it didn't until I accessed them through mobile data and switched back to wifi)
Try running dig deb.debian.org then dig @9.9.9.9 deb.debian.org. If the first one fails, it might be your DNS. The second one uses an alternative DNS server.
Here are two articles on how to set a DNS server on mint:
Try setting your DNS server to that of quad9: 9.9.9.9 (literally four nines). They are a privacy-respecting DNS server.
Is it a crime to voluntarily join a DDoS attack? I remember 4chan using such a tool (ion canon or something?). Maybe that would be a way to contribute to the war?
The less diversity you have in any ecosystem, the more vulnerable you become, and there's zero diversity at the top of the internet supply chain. You can pick any core area of the internet and you'll find a very short list of companies in control.
That natural conclusion of an absolutely free market is a monopoly. With no regulation, one company will end up dominating everything. I can only hope that over time we will have technologies that allow citizens to make big mesh networks.
CrowdStrike is the closest we've come to a full-blown internet shutdown. Even with its unprecedented scale, however, the consequences lasted just a few days.
Indeed. I bet you nothing important will come of this. Crowdstrike will survive, maybe with a scrape or two, but will continue to enjoy unfettered access to critical systems world-wide.
Literally "it's a feature, not a bug". Absolutely hilarious that they don't think this is an issue. I can only hope that other sourceforges don't just copy this behavior "beCaUSe GiTHuB dOeS iTT!!!".
If companies were really treated like people, they'd be in jail right now - at least in the US. But they wouldn't come out reformed, just beaten and bruised, ready to commit more crimes.
I see. Thanks for the information. A few communities have been subscribed to now.
Cheers!
🤔 there must be a way to make users aware that subscribing is necessary. Indeed, after subbing I can now see posts, but as a user, I'm unaware which communities requiring subbing to have content shown and which ones just aren't working. Having to sub to a community in order to find out is an insider trick.
Quite the ride you had there. I rarely reinstall even if my system is borked and just fight through everything until it's fixed. I can understand not having that kind of time though.
This is when I realised I can’t recommend nixos to normal people. If for any reason you need to install sth. that is not in the packages you are fucked.
💯
After thinking about installing it on a friend's laptop, I too ran into the issue of not finding some software and realised it would be me playing packager and package maintainer. It's simple to install Debian and call it a day.
However once I managed to get the update working i wasn’t able to login into x11 anymore and Wayland seems inperformant in gaming.
This is definitely a reason I don't want to use wayland yet. Maybe in a year or more it might become my main, but until then X11 it'll have to be.
However, why do you need to boot with NVIDIA? Does GPU passthrough not work if you don't? What type of VM are you using? KVM?
Our shareholders can't buy another private jet to pollute the environment, so fuck off. Jake, you can stay though. You've been promoted to hold every job with a 5% raise.
And people will keep buying their games 🤷
!bbc@rss.ponder.cat is also broken. So is !hackaday@rss.ponder.cat, !scientificamerica@rss.ponder.cat and pretty much every other community I accessed.
All these communities fall under the realm of things I hide from the main feeds
Do you manually hide them?
iOS is probably the most locked down option you can pick. The EU even told Malus to open it up and Malus tried to fuck around. Now they might be in for some monetary justice, but that might take a year or two. Emulation was even only recently allowed, but only of old shit like Windows XP.
Android is still the most open, mainstream, phone OS out there. Get yourself a phone that can run a ROM like LineageOS, eOS, FairPhone or (if you want to give Google more money for surveillance) a Pixel to put GrapheneOS on it (easy process, you just need a browser and USB-C cable). That'll get you more freedom to keep the phone alive longer and optionally become more private (if you can learn to live without Google).
To save money, you don't even need to buy a new one. Get a refurbished phone. They are often 100-200€ cheaper than new phones and are sometimes as good as new.
iOS will lock you in, give you less options, and cost you loads to boot.
A few thoughts:
- Most "popular" programming language should probably be "most used". Whether people like it is a different metric
- Microsoft SQL Server is #4 in used SQL servers? I can only imagine it's because their are so many windows computers
- jQuery is still used? I thought it was dead 😮
- CMake is on the "embedded technologies" list along with gcc, clang, and cargo. how are those "embedded technologies"? they can be used for anything...
- .NET is the most used framework? Wat? Was this mostly shared by Microsoft engineers and game devs?
- Linux is split into distros - why not group them as "linux"? By the numbers that'd make nearly 40% of devs using Linux...
- GDscript is now at 65% admired - dunno if it was even on the list last year?
- Admired vs Desired feels like wrong terminology? I kind of get what they want to say, but not really. I was expecting Used vs Desired
In total, this survey doesn't seem representative, but maybe it's because I work with backend engineers and have friends who avoid frontend and mostly use Linux. Something just seem very questionable (like all the microsoft technologies being so high up). Seems to me like respondents are a specific type of person who would answer such a survey. I also wasn't aware of the survey at all and wonder how people even know about it.
You can look at the code (it's open source), but the extension seems unmaintained and local only. It only launches the debugger locally and communicates with the debugger per socket with a random name. The extension itself would have to be modified...
It's an RSS feed per community. A dude wrote his own scripts. Discussion is here.
This seems like a VS Code question. Maybe it's possible. Have you tried using dev containers? It wouldn't surprise me if VSCode installed a debugging server in the container and talked to it in order to run scripts and hook into them.
Which extension are you using?
Federation issue with rss.ponder.cat?
I tried accessing !nytimes@rss.ponder.cat from programming.dev and there's nothing there, but https://rss.ponder.cat/c/nytimes sure has a bunch.
Is there another federation issue in lemmy again?
I have to wonder if we’ll see an FTX-style inquiry in the coming months.
I wouldn't hold my breath. Companies like that are so involved with governments that they probably are bullet-proof. Microsoft has had appalling security practices (money over everything) and IIRC hackers got access to virtually every Outlook account, and all that Microsoft did was issue a statement of "we're sorry and take immediate action". That placated politicians and they moved on.
Crowdstrike is most likely in the same boat.
Which DNS would you recommend?
ISPs are forced to block DNS request to certain hosts, they also monitor your DNS requests, and sometimes aren't updated that or are slow.
Which DNS servers do you use or would recommend to others?
Planes have been grounded as several airports are hit by a global IT outage, with Windows PCs shutting down and broadcasters and businesses also taken offline.
Caused by security firm CrowdStrike that issued an update.
What are your experiences with mono repos?
I just finished watching Why Google Stores Billions of Lines of Code in a Single Repository and honestly, while it looks intriguing, it also looks horrible.
Have you run into issues? Did you love it? How was it/
Does anybody understand how to use diva.exchange and what it is?
Schütze deine Privatsphäre: deine Identität ist dank DIVA.EXCHANGE von deinen Transaktionsdaten getrennt. Sicher und ganz ohne zentrale Infrastruktur.
I'm having trouble understanding what it is and how to use it. The project website seems to be filled with buzzwords but no actual usecase.
The name hints at a being a DEX, but that doesn't seem to be it. They talk about banking for everyone, but they don't have a coin. What exactly is it and how can one use it? Is it usable by laymen?
Maybe @social@social.diva.exchange can answer or anybody else who understands it...
The European Union must keep funding free software (open letter)
The largest governmental fund for opensource is in danger of being cut by the EU in 2025!
Gitlab is not willing to make a team around federation
Note: I think this is a duplicate but I can't find the other issue where this was previously discussed. It is related to other discussions on federation. I think useful to have a discussion where notes on how ActivityPub is progressing in GitLab can be recorded. --- @oelmekki started work to in...
The external developer who started the work and was highly praised by Gitlab offered to work for them if they made a team around federation --> nothing.
A group of French universities are now considering making a group in order to work on it themselves and contribute back to Gitlab.
Gitlab will most likely use it as a big selling point once all the work has been done by externals with little to no cost to Gitlab.
Why haven't we figured out monetisation for peertube?
The only real attempt at monetisation that I've seen is https://beetoons.tv/, but they use their own crypto - making it like Odysee. Why is that?
Edit: Please, before you answer consider this monetisation doesn't mean ads!
While a move to Arm promises users with lighter and more efficient PC hardware, the state of PC gaming on Arm has a lot of catching up to do as the developer ecosystem remains in infancy.

After reading this post about Rust having a "supply chain problem" and @declination@programming.dev's response linking to the blog post "I'm not a supplier", I couldn't help but think of this talk (opensource conference hosting exclusively on youtube, make that make sense).

> If you think about productivity, you can't help but think that having the default state of your computer being an image with a few icons on it is less than stellar. For opening files, it will never be tidy enough to give you access to all you need, you need a launcher or a folder structure, meaning the desktop is bad at this. For opening apps, having visual shortcuts on the desktop is a duplicate of whatever panel or launcher you have.
Is this the electron-alternative we've been waiting for?

Solved: How can containers be forced to use a VPN?
I'd basically like to run some containers within a VPN and some outside of it. The containers running within the VPN should not be able to send or receive any traffic from outside the VPN (except localhost maybe).
The container could be docker, podman, or even a qemu VM or some other solution if need be.
Is that possible? Dunno if this is the right place to ask.
---Resolution-------

Resolved: Is there something that can update /etc/hosts from feeds?
Pi-Hole and similar DNS adblockers just seem like a hassle. I can't tell my parents to buy a raspi, flash it, install and configure pi-hole, configure their routers or devices to point to the raspi, and do all of that from another city. Also personally, there's no time for that in my house.
Is there a program or systemd service I can run that pulls blocklists from somewhere (git, http, ...) and updates /etc/hosts? Before I go off and write a python script, systemd unit file, and shell script to install it on the linux systems of friends of family, does this exist?
How could one implement a linux installer that runs on windows?
From another comment I made
> A linux installer for windows that works just like a normal installer on windows. You download the .exe, double click it, it opens a wizard you can walk though, and by the end of the process, after it reboots, you're in a linux distro.
How could something like this be implemented?
My idea:
Best case scenario where multiple data partitions exist and can accommodate the user data stored on C:/ + there's a swap partition -->
- download a linux iso
- deactivate swap
- replace swap partition with ISO contents
- modify contents to auto install linux with settings from wizard
- add boot entry to boot from old swap / modified ISO
- reboot
- install linux with a nice progress animation
- move user data from C:/ to other partition
- replace C:/ with linux
- install alternatives to programs found on windows (firefox for edge, gimp for paint, inkscape for ..., libreoffice for MS office, etc.)
- move user data to
/home/$username - configure DE with theme (gnome for macos look, kde with theme for windows look)
- other customisations
- reboot into linux
Dunno if this is feasible in the best case scenario.
