Automate Generating WireGuard Config without Managing Existing Installation
  • Sure, it's possible. I could do it by hand, but the more clients you want to add, the more cumbersome the process. What I'd like is a tool to automate what is mostly a templating process.

  • Is there an open-source tool to bulk-generate wireguard configurations without managing the wireguard installation itself?

    I have an existing server set up with a special wireguard configuration that I created manually. I want to add a standard VPN server configuration to that machine without affecting the existing configuration. I've used tools for this in the past, but they all work on the premise that wireguard isn't already installed and that only said tool is used to managed the installation. I'm worried this might break my existing config, so what I want is something to automate generating keys and writing configuration files, without interacting with the existing wireguard installation. Does this exist?

    Lag/stuttering on Google Maps?
  • For me, this has been the case for years, at least on Windows and Linux. It happens mostly on Maps, but also on Docs/Sheets, and to a lesser extent on GMail.

    I use Firefox, but I have never had the same experience with it as those who claim it's just as fast as Chrome.

    Windows mail app other than Thunderbird?
  • There was a Linux client I saw a while ago—Spring Mail or something like that?—which first downloaded your email from your provider onto their own servers, then your local client got them from their server. This additional cloud step is what I want to avoid.

  • Besides Thunderbird, is there any good desktop mail client for Windows that doesn't involve uploading mail to a cloud first?

    Microsoft Finally Realizes Nobody Wants Its Windows 11 Preinstalled Bloatware
  • Yeah, having the option is not a bad thing. Nothing changes for those who use the apps or want them there, but it lets people remove them if that's what they want.

  • Please add an option to show downvotes separate from upvotes. I find that information much more useful than just the total score.

    9to5mac.com iPhone 15 Pro spec leak reveals RAM, performance changes - 9to5Mac

    As has been reported many times, the iPhone 15 Pro is expected to be equipped with a new A17 Bionic...

    We have been on 6 GB RAM since the 12 Pro, so for those hoping for an increase this year, it looks like it won’t happen.

    Currently, Memmy works ok, even though it doesn't have a tablet-specific UI. Mlem only works on the iPhone aspect ratio.

    I was assigned to MLM project in work, have some questions
  • Thank you for sharing this story. I've recently watched this video on MLMs and it describes exactly the kind of situations your mom found herself in. I thought these MLM schemes were bad before, but I had no idea just how horrible they actually are...

    Which privacy-focused search engine are you using?
  • Do you find DDG to be slower than Bing or Google? A few years ago I thought there was a noticeable delay with DDG, but not with Google.

    Connect 1.0.113 Released
  • Hi. Thanks for the release. It's excellent and I'm really enjoying using Connect!

    Here are a couple of small requests from a compact layout user:

    • Would it be possible to add dividers between posts in compact layout? Currently there is a lot of text and little visual separation.
    • Would you consider adding an option to move the thumbnails to the right?

    And here are a couple of minor issues I've noticed:

    Thanks again for your work.

    Where should I store my Backup/Recovery codes
  • Just keep in mind that sd cards can also stop working. I would encourage you to keep at least two separate copies, ideally one on a different medium than an SD card, and check regularly that you can still access the codes. A backup is only as useful as it is easy to restore.

    How can I convert my music?
  • If you have access to a Mac, use the Apple AAC encoder. It will give you better results than libfdk_aac, which itself is much better than the ffmpeg built-in aac encoder.

    not seeing any non negligible difference between 60 and 120 Hz, am I weird?
  • In fact, scrolling is the main difference to me. App opening/closing animations also appear smoother, but I find you get used to those much easier if you go back to 60 Hz after having used 120 Hz. Scrolling, however, isn't the same...

    Are NUC hardware good for self hosting?
  • In general, I'd say it's good enough. i5 might have more cores if you need them, but then i7 only gets you slightly higher frequency, which may not be worth the price.

  • lemmy.world Lemmy.world (and some others) were hacked - Lemmy.world

    While I was asleep, apparently the site was hacked. Luckily, (big) part of the lemmy.world team is in US, and some early birds in EU also helped mitigate this. As I am told, this was the issue: - There is an vulnerability which was exploited - Several people had their JWT cookies leaked, including a...

    It looks like several Lemmy instances were exploited last night. It doesn't appear that much damage has been done, but users may have to log out and back in if they use mobile apps.

    @Illecors@lemmy.cafe have you found any indication that lemmy.cafe may have been targeted too?
