What is a “feg”?

deleted by creator

I’m fully aware of what the word means, but I’m sick of it being used so often. There are plenty of other words in the English language to describe the situation.

I get that “enshitification” is the hot new buzzword but cold we please give it a rest. Reading this community you start to think that people can’t express that the Internet is not to their liking in any other way.

Because they are a karma farmer.

I pirate things knowing that I own them… All my old TurboGraphx HuCard roms. I would rather play on modern hardware.

That is a fantastic idea! (I did this with my old retired desktops for years before I finally built a dedicated machine)

I see that this was published out of the BBC’s Delhi offices. I guess the writing makes sense now.

I get that this is a big deal but why do the headlines need to fluff it up to make it seem like there is a human out there? When do we ever say that our rovers on Mars are going for a Mars walk or stepping off their landing platform? If it’s wheels they are rolling or going for a drive! It’s no wonder that trust in news media is declining when there are editors who think this kind of bullshit can fly in a science headline.

For your local PiHole DNS, where are your records for your domain pointing? I believe you should have an A record for *.example.com that points to the IP of your NPM server and then an MX which points to the IP of your mail server. If this is already the case then you can ignore this.

Also, if you are using DHCP do not have it assign your public domain to any of your hosts because that could screw up name resolution as well.

Ah, I read that as part of the same incident. I see now what was meant by twice - not really a repeat offender.

I can’t find where it says this was the second time in the article. Can you quote it?

“They” = companies with money to invest and profits to be had.

Hear me out - you could run, like, a sneaker-net but with cargo ships!

How would you propose connecting to a mesh network without the use of an ISP? Are you thinking wireless (wifi)? For something like that to work you would need an AP/repeater every 150 feet or so. How would you cross oceans without bouncing wireless signals off the ionosphere (creating latency issues) or using a cable (requiring some entity to maintain it - $$$)?

If you break it down into the requirements to do such a thing you can start to understand why your question is a bit ridiculous.

Private in this context means that it is isolated. If you want it to be private in the sense that it’s only for you to use the you just close registrations.

Anonymity and federation are kind of oxymoronic.

I believe it adds a third party server to help facilitate communication between clients.

Unraid is paid only if you have over 3(?) drives.

I personally run Proxmox with TrueNAS virtualized and an HBA card passed through. All my “apps” run in VMs on Proxmox and I only use TrueNAS as a NAS.

You may want to check out TrueNAS Scale for the OS, it is designed to be a NAS OS. You can run containers like Plex and PiHole from it.

I guess if you live in a place where electricity is super expensive this will matter. A good majority of self-hosted people don’t seem to care much as they have server racks full of old hardware.
