Dude, yeah, some people NOT in a major city, pretty much everywhere else in the country, have firearms lmao.

It’s gotta be people commenting this shit who’ve grown up in a major metropolitan area and never traveled outside their safe zone (aka comfort zone), or in a very strict state in general, or outside the US entirely.

My wife is a self defense instructor, she teaches basic handgun safety, women’s defense, and conceal carry, and covers more too. We’ve both inherited some family heirloom pieces dating back too the late 1800s, WWII, etc. While many may not function and are just for safe keeping and some family history (or like Curios and Relics), 12 is definitely not unheard of and probably on the low side for many families.

It’s just that is not a subject you openly talk about with acquaintances or coworkers you aren’t comfortable around, so I’m sure that original commented would be in for a surprise to know how many people own and or carry one on a daily basis!

Not everyone wants to live in a densely populated area though, so not just cities. Many are stuck distance traveling for jobs that could be done remotely, too, with no real means of public transportation. Sure, it exists, but too many variables for too many people so its not convenient.

So many city-based people don’t understand how the rest of the country functions… Very close/narrow-minded to just assume everyone else should be able to adjust/adapt their lives to what works for them.

Exited to see more! Keep up the good work!

My next ‘system’ I’m eyeing is Peergos!

Do people not know about Quad9? DoH & Quic

Hell yeah, dude!!

I’m not a Dev, but how did this break the bank? How can we support your efforts?

There are a lot of comments about setups, which is fine and all.

2 things if you’re completely green:

1. Yunohost simplifies a lot of installs and gives you popular applications with ease. You can SSH into it later for more customizations too.
2. ZimaOS is a great NAS platform for basically any hardware. It’ll run Docker containers and gives you a little more control, but it’s a outlet more complicated for someone new. I see a lot of Synology references, just think of this like a free/cheap Synology. (Cheap bc they do have a “pro” version giving you unlimited disks whereas free is up to 4HDDs. I’m currently using 18 drives).

I just feel this is the most automated and complete way to get set up quickly, both have forums and community support too.

Oh dang I didn’t realize! Thank you!! I was just starting to look at those things myself and wanted to also avoid GH. Plus Gitea was available on Yunohost too. I’ve heard of Codeberg, I’ll see if I can host that instead. It’s too bad other companies don’t move away from GH…

Host a Gitea?

See reply comment below

You honestly could get a Lenovo tiny PC with 2 bay so-dimm RAM. I’ve got a i5-10500T and 32GB DDR 4 RAM with 2TB NVMe and 2x 2TB SSDs for various stuff. You can loaf A LOT on those since it’s not Windows. Maybe lol into Yunohost for apps, or ZimaOS.

This is a “trust me bro” vibe from Google. Guess sites will just have to deal with a drop in traffic. Cuz they’re not getting any more data from me if I can help it

My recommendation to many newcomers:

Setup Yunohost, which gives you a custom Debian-based OS that’s easy to deploy tested builds, like Rustdesk. You can configure your Domain info, DNS, etc pretty easily, and if you decide, a dynamic domain or Porkbun (cuz is cheap plus free private WHOIS and SSL certs).

Yes, a small learning curve, but easier than building from Docker when you know nothing about Docker nor have the time to learn. I can fumble through a UI, I can’t fumble with commands or code that I don’t instinctively know. Others who day “just take the time to learn Docker”… But I’ve got 2 jobs, kids and their activities, pets, and other hobbies, so not much time for other stuff.

Someone should do a write up for pihole vs adguard vs technitium vs eBlockerOS

https://eblocker.org/en/ (German product?) (BTW you’re all welcome that I showed you a new thing)

Edit May 7: eBlockerOS seems geared towards better packet* inspection, hidden trackers protection, and fingerprinting. You can install a HTTPS cert* on your current machine so it does MITM packet inspection where it can scan*, inspect, and reencrypt from the looks of it.

Im probably going to run this at work on my test environment to see how well it does overall. Maybe less granular control, but I like is more* than just an adblocker like pihole.

Do you have a reading mode button at the top? I just enable reading mode (But in Waterfox) and it starts to function without paywalls or popups.

Rough. I’m all for PC, but you’re about to find out how expensive PC gaming is with the “memory crisis”. I’ve been with Xbox myself for 20 years and my game library is so big I couldn’t imagine switching. My gaming PC was over 2500 a few years ago and it sits there collecting dust bc consoles are easier to fire up and play here and there. It was also easier to share licenses with games to play co-op with my kids. I’ll be ditching soon I feel cuz that falls to the wayside more and more, and GP keeps going up and up. No longer can i just pay $5/mo gold for online, its at least $10 for no good reason.

I guess I can’t blame you, of they do age / ID verification or whatever you wanna call it, I’ll probably ditch consoles too.

More war means less working class lives to pay wages to, which in turn means they can take even more from us!!

😱 mrw I see this is not the Onion link and instead is not the onion group.

Gotta have more data to mine and sell, too… Gotta make a few bucks for the trouble of getting citizenship. “The start of a beautiful relationship” aka the start of monetizing more new data for those AI and big tech.

Ohhh trust me I know it’s all about surveillance. I’m just meaning they’re going to negatively impact everyone everywhere without a second thought because they’ll get what they want in the end. Either more money or more reelections

My other biggest gripe: what happens to business computer users at the office? What about their admins? How much extra work is this going to create???
