The errors went away at boot, but nothing happens now, its just stuck. I just see the _ blinking that's it. Going to try installing Arch and see if I can get it working better.

    lemmylem OP ,

    Why do I have to explain why I don't want WiFi built-in? What difference would it make exactly?

    lemmylem OP ,

    Anything that's cheap and reliable, nothing over $200

    How do I setup my own FOSS shopping website for my business?

    Hello, I don't have much experience in self-hosting, I'm buying a ProtonVPN subscription and would like to port forward. I have like no experience in self-hosting but a good amount in Linux. I'm planning on using Proxmox VE with a YunoHost VM. I already have a domain name from Njalla. I'm setting up a website for my computer...

    Is there a way to download a Windows.iso anonymously?

    Hello, whenever I try to download the Windows.iso from Microsoft, it blocks me because I'm using a VPN. I don't really want to buy proxies or anything for this. I tried to download it off public WiFi but it was way too slow. I only need Windows for updating the EC firmware on one of my older laptops....

    lemmylem OP ,

    That's what I ended up doing and it worked. I think I used like FreeDOS or something like that.

    lemmylem OP ,

    Yes, yes, and no.

    What apps would you love to have open-source alternatives for?

    It seems like the FOSS community is continuing to grow, and FOSS apps keep getting better (Immich reallh blew my mind recently), which is a big win 😎 but there are still many apps I use that I would kill for an open source alternative. I am curious what you guys think? Are there any apps you'd love alternatives for?

    lemmylem ,

    Nextcloud with OnlyOffice?

    lemmylem ,

    The creators of MullvadVPN or their identities are not prominently disclosed, which means you have to trust them. For all we know they could be working with Swedish law enforcement or other nations and you'd never know.

    lemmylem ,

    I'm pretty sure Startpage got sold out to an ad company. I think the best option is just to use SearxNG

    It can play all my games at 1440p and ultra settings (RDR2, GTA V, etc.) I've never had a time where I've wanted to upgrade from it. I built most of this computer for about $450-$500, all used parts I got off eBay plus some other parts that I pulled from my other computer

    lemmylem ,

    A bit, it's actually not too bad. Rarely any micro stuttering on ultra settings in RDR2, I am actually planning on buying the AMD 7900XTX graphics card to put in this machine. I want to run local LLMs on it, I'm not too much of a gamer as I used to be. Anyways, this thing rocks! I love it. Eventually, I'll plan on buying a MSI Z690-A DDR5 motherboard and install Dasharo firmware onto it.

    Source?

    Is JMP.chat expensive? Are there any alternatives? ( lemm.ee )

    I've been using this phone number from JMP.chat and I've barely used it for much of anything (Started February 27th, 2024), and somehow its telling me I need $35? I tried out their service plan but it was way too expensive. I only bought it once and took off my credit card after because auto pay kept auto depositing money into...

    lemmylem ,

    Wondering too, since Docker has a non-root mode, is there a reason to use Podman?

    "My BIOS is password locked but proprietary (due to compatibility issues)."

    "I use full disk encryption, multiple disks, and a second layer of encryption for specific important files (NSA style)"

    I recommend switching to Libreboot, I've recently helped add support for the Dell Optiplex 9020 MT, and will soon add support for the Dell Precision T1700 MT. Libreboot allows for full disk encryption, including the automatically encrypting the /boot partition during installation of an OS. I use RAID 0 with 3 disks (LUKS and LVM) on my desktop, with my /boot unencrypted stored on a SD card so I can easily toss it whenever.

    For gaming, I've had success using Proxmox to play games like GTA V and Rainbow Six Siege through a VM, even passing through NVIDIA drivers (though I plan to switch to AMD). Although, currently the Haswell boards (9020MT and T1700MT) can't use IOMMU correctly so I recommend using the T1650 for passing through your GPU to a VM. Beware though, the T1650 board can't be freed entirely in the BIOS I believe.

    Also, updating your CPU microcode can help avoid potential performance issues. If you're concerned about security, consider GPG signing your kernel with Libreboot GRUB for an additional layer of verification at boot.

    lemmylem ,

    We shouldn't be mixing FOSS projects with proprietary communication platforms. There are a lot of FOSS enthusiasts who want their setup to be entirely free and open, including Discord into the mix basically goes against the whole philosophy.

    lemmylem ,

    I'm wondering, is there any anonymous VPN that supports port forwarding to port 80? I'm thinking about self-hosting a website from my server at home under a VPN.

    lemmylem ,

    Is it really that bad? I haven't had any issues torrenting stuff with Mullvad, although I usually don't torrent files above like 20GB

    lemmylem OP ,

    NanoPi R2C has 1 gigabit speeds and you can run LibreCMC with little to no blobs :)

    It is a Ethernet only router though, no WiFi.

    lemmylem OP ,

    Looks awesome! Thank you.

    lemmylem OP ,

    Do you have link still? I'm interested in what it was lol

    lemmylem OP ,

    Lmfao

    Is there a site where I can buy accounts?

    Hi, I'm looking for a site that resells accounts for places like Hiltons, Wendys, Dominos, etc. Preferrably sites that accept Bitcoin or Monero as currency. My friend had a site but they forgot the name of it. Maybe this is the wrong sub? Not sure, but screw it.

    Experiencing Audio Cutting Out in Proxmox VE Windows 11 VM

    Hello, I'm using a Windows 11 VM on Proxmox VE, and my audio keeps cutting out. I use GPU passthrough with my NVIDIA 2080 SUPER for gaming, but I don't know where this issue is coming from. I've switched audio devices, but the issue persists. The audio cuts out for a few seconds, then comes back. I updated Windows to the latest...

    lemmylem OP ,

    I disabled SMT to avoid meltdown attacks, so I added 'nosmt' in /etc/default/grub on Proxmox. Currently I'm using a Xeon E3 1275 V2 which has 4 cores, but since nosmt disables hyperthreading, I'm not using 8 cores. I do think you're right though, this problem hadn't appeared before and I believe only started to happen when I started messing around with the amount of cores the CPU has. I'll test it out and keep you updated! Thanks for the advice!

    lemmylem OP ,

    This was the issue! I enabled SMT and set my CPU cores on the VM from 4 to 8 cores and it fixed it. Thank you so much for the advice!

    lemmylem ,

    Is AGPL really bad?

    lemmylem ,

    Well, it hinges on your philosophical stance. GNU prioritizes user freedom by licensing every software piece and its derivatives under Free Software licenses like GPL. The advantage lies in creating an environment where constant license checks are unnecessary, providing a more streamlined and freedom-focused user experience.

    lemmylem ,

    Read the last part of my inital answer, it's solely that way because no one has the time to keep checking licenses with software.
