I’ll be fine, i love to tinker, and i also heard of many people using gentoo on server so hopefully it won’t be terrible lol

I get it, honestly i just find weird the fact that they’d include age verification in the first place, and aside from that i don’t like most things about systemd anyway like the large codebase and the incredible amount of extra services they offer

Thanks! I’m curious tho: what could there possibly be that introduces problems with using something like Gentoo as a server OS? The only thing that comes to mind is the fact that some software might not be available on portage or some software might be assuming systemd, but can’t that all be worked around by compiling manually or creating custom init scripts?

Thanks, my beef with systemd isn’t really about usability but i have problems with the philosophy and the age verification ground work. I could use it no problem, i just don’t want to

 

As title says, i want to start self hosting but i have a lot of questions about it. For more context, i want to self host XMPP, matrix, Immich, an email, forgejo and a minimal website. i want to ask you:

  1. Where should i buy my domain and are there any things i should be careful about?

  2. does the end of my domain (idk the specific name but .XYZ) matter at all?

  3. I get that i should use a used PC (i have none lying around), but how old?

  4. Am i willing to self host too much stuff?

  5. Can i use Gentoo, Devuan, or other non-systemd distros as an OS?

Sorry for the noob questions but i struggle to find answers online, feel free to tell me to RTFM ~_~;
Also, i have experience with Linux as a desktop OS, more specifically 3 years, one of which mostly in gentoo, but i’ve daily driven Arch, Artix, Debian, Void among others

 

I have always done some kind of work out in my life, however, as of the last two years i’ve stopped caring about it and had no interest in it. I did swimming from 4 to 14 years old, and from 14 to 16 i went to the gym pretty constantly, but now as an 18 year old i don’t do anything. I’ve found myself missing swimming, but mostly just giving up on the gym because i stopped finding enjoyment in it. However i am well aware that i should probably do something, it’s just very hard to want to do it in the first place. I don’t really care about being strong or handsome, but i’ve always been overweight since i was a little kid and even tho i’m on a diet, i struggle with losing weight and the advice is always “go to the gym”. How do YOU manage to find motivation to work out?

How are you liking bspwm? I’ve been eyeing it out too

Yeah but AI actively makes the learning itself worse, unlike writing did. AI in learning only serves the purpose of being faster and easier, but it’s just unreliable data scraped from infos you could’ve checked yourself. Researching things yourself is inherently better, it gives you more knowledge, the knowledge is more complete, and the chance of there being straight hallucination's is basically zero. It has value, but not right now, where it’s just a fancy translator that acts as some know-it-all

Wow, i will check it out, thanks

Sounds like a skill issue to me. Look at what caused the error and learn from it, don’t put it in a slop grinder and get the ready solution. If you want hand holding you’ll be using a distro that will not cause you those issues, if you’re not, you have to accept that you gotta put work in

To be fair, i think the language is a non-issue. sure, not everyone speaks english as a first language, but many people speak it as a second and the Arch Wiki specifically but also others are indeed translated in other languages.

Thanks, i just got tired of people yelling “communist” at anyone who’s progressive in any way (probably a thing of the place i live in lol)

[–] curious_beetle@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 week ago

Of course, but i feel that knowing the premise and where those countries took their ideals from would be ideal to have a better view

 

I am interested in politics, and even tho i am not a communist, i am interested in what can be learned from it and i also want to learn more about political ideologies as a whole, instead of speaking out of my ass whenever someone mentions communism and potentially say some bullshit. What do you think?

Edit: thanks for all the answers! I swear i read them all, i just don’t know how to answer to each of them, but thanks for all the recommendations!
