Ubuntu:

Such as?

That tells me you don’t understand what a “stable” release branch is. The Debian maintainers do a lot of work to ensure that the packages not only work, but work well together. They don’t introduce breaking changes during the lifecycle of a major branch. They add feature updates between point releases, and continuously release security updates.

In the real world, that stability is a great value, especially in the server space. You’d be insane to use Arch as a production server, and I’m saying that as an Arch user.

Something, something, sword of Damocles.

At work, we use PiSignage for a large overhead screen. It’s based on Debian and uses a fullscreen Firefox running in the labwc compositor. The developer advertises a management server (cloud or self-hosted) to manage multiple connected devices, but it’s completely optional (superfluous in my opinion) and the standalone web UI is perfectly usable.

You can absolutely use it without a reverse proxy. A proxy is just another fancy HTTP client that contacts the server on the original client’s behalf and forwards the response back to it, usually wrapped in HTTPS. A man in the middle that you trust.

All you have to do is expose the desired port(s) to all addresses:

# ...
  - ports:
    - 8080:8080

…and obviously to set the URL environment variables to localhost or whatever address the server uses.

I don’t know which feature you mean, can you link the documentation?

I used it for a while, and it’s a decent solution. Similar to Tailscale’s subnet router, but it always uses a relay and doesn’t do all the UDP black magic. I think it uses TCP to create the tunnel, which might introduce some network latency compared to Tailscale or bare Wireguard.

You must think you’re clever. Take a few days to think about what separates you (specifically) from the toxic “PC Master Race” evangelists, and maybe fornicate some greenery.

It definitely depends on your home instance. You’re on LBZ, and Ada is a helicopter parent who blocks, bans, and purges anything and anyone that may be upsetting to her children. So yes, you’re probably not exposed to the full picture on Lemmy.

Visit the comment threads on Phoronix and you’ll see WOKE and FASCIST and COMMUNIST and TANKIE and any number of insults thrown around like manure in a monkey cage. Or try to argue in favour of systemd in a high visibility thread and inevitably someone will say that it’s bloat, that it’s corporate trash, and recite “enshittiication” like it’s some Pavlovian reflex.

It’s closer to present-day Lemmy. Certainly in terms of the concentration of crazy. A bunch of opinionated jackasses with delusions that their particular niche views are morally correct and should be the norm, and any deviation from that self-declared correct opinion gets shouted down. The wrong distribution, the wrong display server, the wrong init system, your app is not suckless enough, you’re the wrong kind of Libre, you’re wrong about something that a new user doesn’t even know exists… and that extends to maintainers and all the way up to the LKML too. If I saw the state of the discourse back in 2022, I would’ve thought twice about even trying to approach Linux.

Allow me to interject for a moment to talk about our holy father Richard Stallman…

Right… my mistake, I guess I had SSH config entries in Termux and never questioned whether SSH was using those or DNS.

Still, try to find some way to check which server is being queried. It might reveal connectivity problems with the local DNS server.

Install Termux, then use either the dig or nslookup command to query the DNS name, and check which DNS server is queried. If it’s the private server’s address, you might be having connectivity issues. If it’s 100.100.100.100, the resolver is still trying to query Tailscale’s MagicDNS.

i3 has tabbed windows, and it stands to reason that Sway should have it too.

Hyprland has window groups: https://wiki.hypr.land/Configuring/Dispatchers/#grouped-tabbed-windows

Niri has a feature like that, but a little different since it’s a scrolling tiler. A column that contains two or more windows can be switched to tabbed mode, which displays one window at a time with full height, but you can’t have a tabbed group that is a member of a column, only full tabbed columns.

private dns setting of android

Probably. If that setting is enabled, Android (including Graphene) defaults to 8.8.8.8 if the higher-priority DNS servers (manual or received from DHCP) don’t support DNS-over-TLS or DNS-over-HTTPS.

Proxmox is my number one choice. It’s based on Debian, and has an excellent, extremely straightforward web UI for managing virtual machines and LXC containers.
