From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

For me, I really want to get into niri, but the lack of XWayland support scares me (I know there’s solutions, but I don’t understand them yet).

Also, I stopped using Emacs (even though I love its design and philosophy with my whole heart) because it’s very slow, even as a daemon.

DNS ad blocker. My network setup is more complex than I can understand and if I set up AdGuard/PiHole I have issues.

[–] ResoluteCatnap@lemmy.ml 1 points 5 months ago

Pihole let's you set up groups so you can always exempt certain devices from blocking if that's the issue. Otherwise you just need to go to your router and change the dns server to your pihole ip

I want to learn stenography, but haven't really got to buying a keyboard designed for it. I also want to host an EteSync server, but the HTTPS thing has been a bit of a headache for me and I've mostly just left it sitting there.

There are alternatives if you want to host your calendar and contacts and sync them securely. You could use Radicale and put a reverse proxy in front of it (Nginx Proxy Manager makes it easy to set up and easy to get and renew certificates).

Thanks! I might use that, since I do already have Nginx Proxy Manager set up.

My TV. *arr stilll not set up and the gaming rig is still in its planning phase.

The first thing that came to mind when I saw the question is perhaps a bit of a weird answer--but I really want to learn SELinux. It's completely overkill for my Linux desktop and the few services I run on my network. The same with OpenLDAP, I want to play around with it even though I have no real need for it with my setup, I just haven't gotten around to it yet.

On that note, I also feel like I want to learn Ansible, or some other configuration management tool. The thing is, I haven't even played around with it (or any others) enough to really even get what the intended use case is. I'm looking for ways to manage policies and configurations across multiple machines in a common way, but it feels like the more common use case is deploying webapps. So while it's on my list of things I want to learn I don't even have sufficient background at the moment.

Then, finally, the other thing that came to mind was timeshift--or really BTRFS snapshots in general. It would be nice to have that additional feeling of safety while playing around with my systems.

Virtual reality, but an old friend of mine has kindly offered to buy me an Oculus Quest 2 so I'm very much looking forward to what VR can offer.

One of my closest friends also did the same thing for me, I quite enjoy playing beat saber :)

I highly recommend Pistol Whip!

Nginx. I'm going to learn soon but I'm still new and it seems easy to screw up exposing things to the Internet.
