I F*cked up and I need help.
  • If there is docker image for what you need, use docker image.

    If not I would recommend systemd-nspawn, it's chroot but can run systemd init, with efforts you can run GUI applications from it too., wiping that is just sudo rm -rf.

    What's a good alternative to Gmail?
  • Also using PurelyMail, tt's the cheapest non-free email service I can find.

    It passes email delivery tests, setup SPF, DKIM and DMARC easily without issue.

    The downside is that it's basically one man handling whole this service, but I assume this service has been fully automated because the margin of profit is so low.

    What helps people get comfortable on the command line?
  • I am using ZSH, that function that allows you to type part of the command and then do UP key to find previous command starts with same prefix is killer function for me.

    (I don't know if this function is added by oh-my-zsh or not.)

    How to figure out the exact driver needed for the WiFi card to install it on Linux?
  • On Ubuntu 22.04 based distro, you can try install HWE (hardware enablement) kernels but you need a phone that can share WIFI/mobile connection through USB cable.

    sudo apt update; sudo apt install linux-generic-hwe-22.04

    As requested: https://old.lemmy.world (MLMYM)
  • Don't know if this bug is reported upstream or not.

    My default listing is "subscribed", if I go to "Top All" and click next page button, I get "Top Sucscribed, page 2". (my current listing doesn't last)

    what's a reasonable sort for lemmy?
  • I browse lemmy in these orders:

    1. Communities I subscribed, sort by new.

    2. Active All, I've blocked a few meme communities so I don't see them much.

    3. Top 6 hours All.

    4. Top 1 hour All.

    Seedbox recommendations (thinking of switching)
  • I currently have Pulsed Media seedbox, which has SSH access (no root) and docker, haven't tried something like plex/jelyfin so I can't tell how well it works.

    • You should google the name if you want to try them, negative things pops up.

    • Password authentication can't be turned off for SSH.

    A few questions about selfhosting from a newbie
  • some sort of dashboard with monitoring and statuses of all my services

    See if Uptime Kuma suits your needs.

    Are there any major no-no things a newbie might do with Docker/selfhosting that I should avoid?

    Allow password based SSH authentication, you should look into key based authentication

    I wanted to have it behind a domain, how would I achieve it?

    Use a reverse proxy (like caddy) which serves different content based on domain name.

    Thunderbird 115 - odd lack of packaged options beginning to raise eyebrows?
  • I think thunderbird always delay major version upgrade until <version>.2.

    If you observe their changelog:

    115.0: only offer binary download, not as upgrade

    102.0: only offer binary download, not as upgrade

    102.1.2: only offer binary download, not as upgrade

    102.2: no such disclaimer

    They also has the same disclaimer for 91.x, that's how Thunderbird decided to distribute update.

  • I only know about CVE-2013-3900 (WinVerifyTrust) which allows modified files to pass signature check unless you tweak registry to enable patches.

    I think there must be other instances like this where Microsoft won’t fix vulnerability or chooses insecure defaults, is there a list?

    My Linux distro is EndeavourOS (Arch Linux but installed with graphical installer), I installed pcsx2-git from AUR which currently provides version 1.7.4282.r0.g6d7eceb4f-1, I will give a rundown on what I did to get P3F Community Enhancement Pack on Linux.

    1. Get a Windows system (P3F Community Enhancement Pack requires that)

    2. Follow P3F Community Enhancement Pack's installation instruction step by step.

    3. Boot back to Linux and mount whatever disk partition that has P3F Mods folder.

    4. Rename your old PCSX2 config directory if you already played for a while (~/.config/PCSX2 to ~/.config/PCSX2.bak) (In Linux "~" equals to /home/<your username>)

    5. run pcsx2 once and close it to generate default config folder.

    6. Copy everything under P3F Mods/Files to ~/.config/PCSX2.

    7. Copy P3F Mods/.PCSX2/inis to ~/.config/PCSX2 and override original inis directory.

    8. Open ~/.config/PCSX2/inis/PCSX2.ini with any text editor.

    9. remove all occurrences of ..\Files\. (for example, Bios = ..\Files\bios becomes Bios = bios)

    10. change Snapshots = ..\Notes\snaps to Snapshots = snaps and "Logs = ..\Logs\logs" to "Logs = logs"

    11. save PCSX2.ini and close text editor.

    12. open a terminal (a program which lets you do Linux commands)

    13. do cd ~/.config/PCSX2

    14. do pcsx2-qt -elf elf/SLUS_216.21.ELF -batch -fastboot -nofullscreen -- iso/P3F.iso

    15. Does the game run? Did you see "P3F CEP" logo? (I hope it work for you too.)

    16. To restore old save, copy memcards folder from ~/.config/PCSX2.bak.

    17 To quickly launch p3f, you can put a function under ~/.bashrc

    function p3f() { cd ~/.config/PCSX2 pcsx2-qt -elf elf/SLUS_216.21.ELF -batch -fastboot -nofullscreen -- iso/P3F.iso }

    then you can just type "p3f" to launch p3f.
