Did the post say it’s the year of the linux device?

Linux already got good a few years ago. Once most of the software just worked in wine that was the point where Linux adoption started to grow

Installing wine is one thing, but some of the Lutris recipes for games don’t work sometimes

I don’t want to second guess what is not working

Until there’s an issue, and you don’t know what the bug is. Just running wine directly rules out bugs in Lutris or whatever

New new internet

Yes, they actually block legitimate websites too, apparently

It does matter.

When I connect to my VPN, the network sees that the server name is yahoo.com

It actually connects to my server which sends the request to yahoo.com and then replies with the cert. So the network sees that yahoo.com sent the cert back to my client from that IP address

Then there is a bunch of encrypted communication with timings and sizes that look like I’m downloading stuff over http.

I’d like to hear a credible model of blocking this

Xray-core is the one you want, very hard to block

Because if you’re roaming it creates a VPN, basically through the Chinese network

But it you want a lot of data, like for YouTube, you’re not going to want to pay roaming rates

So, not resistant to blocking

Use xray. I suggest the REALITY + XHTTP setup where you look like another h2 server

You can docker compose your panel for managing your server, get a free subdomain from afraid.org and set up tls on it

I use the v2rayng mobile app since I don’t switch servers much, I only have two

Wireguard is not resistant to blocking, it is plain as day if you’re using wireguard and china had blocked it for years

Doesn’t work in China, can be easily blocked by censors

Debian would be good if it didn’t use apt

My man hasn’t heard of NixOS. It is quite different. Like can’t run normal linux binaries without steam-run different

Look, I’m looking at reddit posts about niche stuff like a fiend. But when I make a post, I always go here first

I’ve switched, but I haven’t stopped searching old reddit posts. The cache of information is just too rich to pass up.

It’s all about mindset. I’m all in fediverse, despite actually using reddit sometimes. Switching doesn’t mean blocking the entire website

There’s a sysd GUI that you can use to look at logs. It’s much faster to just refresh the UI than searching your history for the right command

Which is what I was talking about when I said immutable systems need a first party solution. Meaning the system itself needs to implement it, you can’t bolt it on with packages or services

Setting the label is the mutation

Windows 10. It just didn’t run on hard drives, when I turned off constantly scanning the drive and the firewall, it refused to update because the update service requires the firewall. Then I forgot how I did it so I never booted into it again.

Windows 7 was the last offline Windows and the last one that was tolerable
