It’s a fairly common thing when it comes to abbreviations. B2B, B2C immediately come to mind.
And, to top it off - don’t beat yourself too hard. You’re one of today’s lucky ten thousand!

In the most positive way - seek help.
- Comment on How feasible would it be to host Mastodon, Pixelfed, Lemmy, Friendica, or Matrix over Tor/I2P? 2 weeks ago:
It would work just fine within TOR. Reaching out would be a massive pain as the software is not ready.
I’ve set up the “old” UI - no javascript - on TOR on lemmy.cafe. It works well, but that’s not a real hidden service, as such.

Huh, TIL that’s still possible. Wasn’t in my case at the time.
- Comment on Server and infrastructure building for me, a dummy 3 weeks ago:
I run my email server, but not at home. Running it at home is not all all more difficult, but it will only work for internal traffic and inbound from the internet. Residential IPs are simply blacklisted by ISP and as such - nothing will reach external recipients. Still useful, but is limited.
To have your smtp reach everyone globally you need to run it on a business IP. I use Linode, has worked very well since the setup in 2019, although they did get acquired by Akamai, which might become an issue at some point.

This is such an incredible write up of something I’ve never even considered to exist. Thank you!
I’d love to have things like that in a form of a post at !graybeard@lemmy.cafe

That’s not really the case. Have a look at AUR or GURU repo - most proprietary software is installed by simply applying the same steps an apt, dnf, whathaveyou package manager would.

Network? That’s a small bit. DB is struggling with IO at times, but network usage is fairly low, at least on my end.

Any explanation for the mathematically challenged?

I think you missing just a few zeroes there.

I actually think you do not, in fact, know enough. VPN does not care about layer 7. Having some proxy forcefully rewrite random domain names will immediately lead to redirect loops and will be disabled that same day because everyone will be screaming “internet no worky”.

I don’t think it works the way you think it does.

Someone has to do the maths on the best possible nutrient, water and solar energy ratios required by pumpkins. Maybe pumpkins win!

Gentoo/Arch guy checking in. It’s more about having fewer codepaths to go wrong after some update. At least in my case.

Yea, I should definitely write something down so bollocks like this does not proliferate.
- Comment on What if we were *just a lil evil*? 2 months ago:
Honestly - it’s not impossible. Not as simple as spinning up a webserver, but definitely doable. I should probably write something up at some point.

I’m no dev, but would you consider writing up in detail the features/behaviour you’re missing on libreoffice issue tracker?
- Comment on Big Surprise—Nobody Wants 8K TVs 3 months ago:
A couple things - every jump like that in resolution is about a 10% increase in size at the source level. So 2K is ~250GB, 4K is ~275GB. Haven’t had to deal with 8K myself, yet, but it would be at ~300GB. And then you compress all that for placea like netflix and the size goes down drastically. Add to that codec improvements over time (like x264 -> x265) and you might actually end up with an identical size compressed while carrying 4x more pixels.
HDMI is digital. It doesn’t start failing because of increased bandwidth; there’s nothing consumable. It either works or it doesn’t.

Lemmy UI shows you all the other posts it’s aware of once you paste the title; or apply a suggested title after pasting the link.

Regarding link saturation - have you tried tc/wondershaper? unix.stackexchange.com/…/how-to-limit-network-ban…
Iptables commands - that was needed at the very launch of wg, I’ve not had to deal with it for some time now.
Personal/commercial use - I’m on a completely opposite side. It’s perfect for personal use, but its lack of dhcp support makes me question its capability in a commercial setting. Many providers offer it, so clearly that’s not an insurmountable task, but I’m still curious how they sort out their backend.
