Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•My bank is starting to discontinue web-based online banking in favor of an app.English
73·2 days agoThe day my bank does that, they have at least one customer less 🤷

Opensource@programming.dev•Normalized Fascism in Open Source: $12 Million Given to DHH
291·9 days agoThat is not how it goes when millions of dollars are involved 🤦

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Internet centralization and the original sin of NATEnglish
1·10 days agoYes, I am aware. But that is not very helpful if you want to host something publicly or even just want it accessible from the random wifi hotspot you might use that more likely than not is IPv4 only.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Internet centralization and the original sin of NATEnglish
7·11 days agoLike literally all mobile (4/5G) internet connections are behind CGNAT, as is Starlink for example.
For landline internet connections it is indeed uncommon.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•What are my best options for hosting classic game servers in 2026?English
3·11 days agoIf it is really only a private server for your friends, and they are not completely computer illiterate, then a Wireguard VPN or similar seems like the safest option.
But generally speaking it isn’t that big of a deal to temporarily open a port and forward it to a game server if you want to play a round online.
A VPS is not really cost effective for that kind of usage. Maybe one with hourly billing like this: https://tierhive.com/

Opensource@programming.dev•Omarchy: Any User Process Can Escalate to Root
38·11 days ago“If you use Omarchy, the most important takeaway is simple: don’t”
There, fixed that for you.
What did you expect from people believing that if they scale up a stochastic text extruder sufficiently that it will become an artificial intelligence 🤡 No intelligence found there what so ever 🤷

Opensource@programming.dev•Copyrightability of LLM-generated code: Can we license “vibe code” into Free Software?
111·15 days agoThis is the most relevant part: https://fsfe.org/news/2026/news-20260825-01.html#copyright-infringement
Software produced by agentic workflows almost inevitably reproduces copyrighted works for common functions like database access without the person using the LLM knowing. This makes the software produced as such non-FOSS and a ticking time bomb due to someone using code scanning tools for malicious litigation purposes similar to how patent trolls operate.

Opensource@programming.dev•An open-source, GPLv3 open-world RPG looking for contributors
14·18 days agoI would recommend contributing to Veloren, which is already much closer to what you have in mind than this project likely will ever get. Seriously, Veloren is a nice project to contribute to 👍

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Continuwuity v26.8.1 is released with remote server health tracking! [CBH]English
71·19 days agoThe exact issue that was finally fixed in the above release caused Conduwuinity to fail federation all the time. Synapse never had that issue. Yes, Synapse sucks in other ways, but be careful to think the grass is greener on the other side.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•GitHub Has an Availability Problem. Is It Time to Look Elsewhere?English
15·24 days agoI mean yes, Microsoft and slopcode probably plays a role, but it only got really bad once the LLM mass scraping started, for which I assume Github is also a major target.
And running your own public git forge is a real PITA these days for similar reasons.
The calculation is wrong by a factor of 1000, and even if it were correct, that’s like a week of typical container imports to the US 🤡
There are always people that have time to invest in low risk activities but can’t invest them in high risk ones, usually because of dependents they need to take care off.
A support network for civil disobedience can never exist. The state would shut it down immediatly. And yet disobedience must occur if the system is to truly change.
Civil disobedience literally can’t exist without a support network and there are plenty of examples where it has existed with the state doing little to nothing to prevent that. There are always ways to fly under the radar for such support networks.
Destroying flock cameras is not a bad idea, but it is largely inconsequential. Style over substance so to say.
This kind of labour intensive farming is actually orders of magnitude more efficient (on an acres of land farmed basis) than mechanized industrialized farming.
But you are not entirely wrong that “community gardening” is insufficient, but good luck convincing anyone to engage in serious civil disobedience etc. when there is no alternative support network that can feed them while doing so.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Should I bridge Whatsapp on Matrix? (Or alternatives to get on Whatsapp)English
3·1 month agoIf I remember correctly, Apple makes it really hard to bridge iMessage and they implemented some sort of hardware check and even disallowed older versions of MacOS or so. As usual, they really like to lock people into their ecosystem.
P.S.: something is wrong with that link you shared.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•I feel like people are sleeping on the Minisforum MS-R1 as a good value home server PCEnglish
42·1 month agoSeems not too bad. It seems to boot with mainline Linux (or at least Ubuntu ISOs) and the vendor releases patches for recent kernel versions, which is much better than most ARM SoCs.

5·1 month agoCool, let us know how it goes and maybe also see if the power consumption has improved with more recent kernel versions.






















I believe raised beds for kids have a lot of space beneath them for putting servers. Just make sure they can’t pull the plugs 😜
