You really only need Storage. Backblaze B2/Wasabi/Cloudflare R2 if you can afford it, or just get a Hetzner storage box, attach it to the VM, run Minio and off you go.

Does feddit.org work without JS? Does this depend on the front-end that the instance uses?

Yeah

Configure the TOR Duckduckgo and Brave search engines and only search over TOR. Switch circuits every x hours.

You should do it on a VPS so that even if it gets infected your home network is not compromised

Took a while but glad that they are back

Which is why I’d like to see a third player. I don’t use Chrome except for ungoogled chromium when the other browsers are tied up

This one is completely on Mozilla. TBH I’m not very happy with their governance either. Stop spending money on bullshit and start working on the damn browser. Stop hassling devs like him who have had an immense contribution to not only open source, but your fucking browser’s usage metrics.

I wish another browser standard comes up and we can say goodbye to this google-infested shit-bucket that is mozilla.

Thanks, if most of them already have the 5.10 kernel I think KernelSU should work.

I’m afraid I do not follow. TrueNAS scale has support for kubernetes: install containers on top, maybe different containers for different fileshares/uses (one container for VM images, one for media etc).

Mount said network volumes on the compute boxes.

Just give him LMDE

Systemd is no longer just an init system, but the project began with Poettering’s dislike of other init systems. I use systemd and I do not like its performance (too slow in some cases).

The tragedy is that being an end-user, it is ridiculously hard to replace systemd on “regular” distros. Admittedly, Debian can be moved back to sysVinit without backbreaking work, but the fact is that distros don’t seem to have any intention of providing choice, making applications assume that systemd exists wherever they will be installed. That is the complaint I have against the Linux community

Why would you need a GUI for the init?

Explain how other init systems are necessarily worse than systemd

I’ve heard of s6 and runit alongside OpenRC as alternatives. I believe distros should make the init system agnostic of the rest of the software and not force users to stick with what they force them to do. Systemd is really slow.

What infuriates me more than distros playing the heavy hand in adopting it, are applications depending on it (I’M LOOKING AT YOU GNOME). This is completely unacceptable. If I find an application that doesn’t work without systemd, I either compile it to see if it will work otherwise or give up on it.

Maybe my view of systemd will change if I delete all of the other binaries and just use the init module. Who the fuck decided to put a fucking log in manager with the init system??? This is the feature bloat that I’m talking about and I hate it

I found this but it’s from a while back: https://h-mdm.com/advanced-web-panel-installation/

Not too many out there TBH. If I had a daughter she’d be getting a Pixel with Grapehene and a DNS server on it (different user) if she really didn’t have any self control

Create a new user and give explicit permissions via doas + SELinux (corporate style lockdown). And deal with network policies with a DNS filter on your LAN (or maybe run an unbound service on her device with a different user without a login so she can’t change the config). Easy

For Android, use a FOSS MDM

You’ve brought a strawman into the conversation, but in short, uBlock is best maintained and tends to be the most robust. Your solution works too

If I say it here I might dox myself. I’d like for it to be a PGP conversation but I’m not quite there yet either (due to personal reasons). Sorry

Well, you’re right. If the provider I have in mind evaporates one day I’ll probably have to do that.
