LINUX'!!'
>what is it?
An operating system that respects your freedom
>why would I use it?
If you are tired of having your OS use you and always wanted to use your computer instead
>What do you mean by freedom?
Write your own programs. use source code from the internet in seconds. update when you want to not when it tells you.
Want to run a website? cool! you can set one up in minutes.
Want to adjust your hardware to your liking? Awesome!
Want to stop or make a new feature to a program you use every day? Go for it!

Its your computer! use it how you want!

anyone here ever used public access unix systems (pubnix) such as sdf.org or tilde.club? I figure it's relevant to this thread since they're running linux or some bsd flavor.

I should have written a bit more, lol.
I am making my personal website there. They also have a webring of all the sites, most of which are abandoned, but there are a few good-ish ones? They have very little content for the most part, quite unlike neocities where people make an effort to make really good sites.
You also get an email address in there, and there is an "email club" where you can sign up to get mail from others in the club… I haven't gotten any so far, but I guess I should start by sending one myself. I wonder whether most of those who signed up are still active.
The irc is not quite dead, but it has a very few active users.
Besides html it also gives you a gopherhole and a gemini capsule. In http you can use a few languages to make cgi scripts, among them perl, tcl and common lisp (sbcl), and of course, bash.
I joined because I actually want to try and make a little mud on common lisp, and a pubnix server is exactly the platform to do that.

How do you make your devices more connected? Are there any sushis with home media server set up? How would you make it, how does the usual use case look like? Do you have any uncommon devices or cool software to support your work, gaming or anime consumption?

WireGuard, ssh, Jellyfin.

>how does the usual use case look like?
the usual pattern is to buy a seedbox and run Jellyfin on it such that you can torrent a movie and directly stream from it.
>Do you have any uncommon devices or cool software to support your work, gaming or anime consumption?
I'm not sure about uncommon but I use a Steam Deck as a Jellyfin receiver, aside from it's regular duties.

I had an HTPC with Plex in like 2014 and used it to watch anime from my couch. It was kind of a pain in the butt to get it displaying things right sometimes though, especially when it came to automatically getting thumbnails and titles.

>How do you make your devices more connected?
Tailscale is really nice for setting up a private vpn network between your devices using wireguard https://tailscale.com/. There is also headscale if you really want to be privacy minded https://headscale.net/stable/. They have clients for all desktop operating systems, android, ios, most TVs and docker sidecar containers so everything can be on your private network.

I use pi-hole to make my internet comfy. Other than jellyfin I also like Navidrome for music and Freshrss to subscribe to youtube channels and blogs. Gitea is nice if you are into programming and want a place to store your code.

Do you use any programs on your computer on a daily basis? What are they? Do you use anything so much that you instinctively launch it right after turning your PC on? Are you always connected to the Internet?

Personally I use IRC, email and webchats a lot so I have a corner of my room dedicated to an old recycled PC that only runs my clients and a web browser.

Every day I check rss feeds with newsboat, I use my web browser librewolf to browse the web, I communicate with my friends using element and (unfortunately) discord. I would rather use a more lightweight matrix client than element, but the only 2 terminal based clients I know of both suck. Maybe time to switch to xmpp. I watch anime using MPV, browse my files with nnn, and listen to music with cmus. I also use vim to edit text, I've experimented with various text editors and always end up back at basic stock normal ass vim. Pretty bog standard boring stuff I think.

Just the fucking browser. I am too lazy to use anything else. I also hate the browser, but the whole ecosystem with programming is too burdensome for me to care about doing anything at all. I also don't like python which is arguably the path of least resistance for getting things done quickly.
I don't care too much about computers anymore, anyway.

If you're gonna make an imageboard, make sure you don't have ads and make sure you have a strong CSAM filter as well as racebait filter. For any soyjak party spammers or spammers in general, make a filter for that too.
Remembered that a Kiwi user told us a small powerlevel about how he used to run an obscure imageboard and despite it being so obscure and that he didn't shill it anywhere but his own site, CSAM ads/websites kept popping up (they dont have explicit images, just some simple drawings like silhouettes)
Imageboards especially dead ones have a very serious CSAM spam problem. I don't know who or what is doing this but I'll assume: Some form of web crawler/bot that detects imageboards and spams it, elaborate trolling groups on Discord or Telegram, or third worlders since in some of 3rd world countries don't decriminalize possession and distribution of it (including real and fictional)
Just some advice and theories about the whole problem with imageboards

If you don't want CP spam just host a 2ch style textboard instead. Make it private and recruit a bunch of friends or people you trust to test it out.

 No.2259

>>2258
Honestly not needed, just do not host vichan or anything too close to the default interface. The spammers get easily confused and deterred.

 No.2510

If you are that "idiot" and do not mind there are several higher mods over you, try endchan.net, you can create a board at there without any cost.

I think working on a project that solves a problem you have is fun, and really good if you want to learn something.
For example, I didn't like the offerings of color pickers, so I decided to make my own.
Even if you have a problem that's already solved by some software… solve it again, but your way.

I would say that for CTF stuff, it's good to practice on pico until you feel like the problems are too easy for you. Other than that, you can practice doing many of the contests, which should provide some more experience with harder tasks. In addition to being able to figure out how to do things, I think experience also helps you figure out how to do things more quickly.

the only thing that is useful for a job is being so good at something that nobody else around you has any idea what you're saying. 1. everyone will ask you to help them. 2. everyone will ask you to teach them. so just pick anything that people need know and know it better than the back of your hand.

I was thinking it would be nice if we had a thread for sharing our own websites/homepages. Woah, here's one now! Show me your netspace sushi!

Here's mine. It's a complete mess, but I like it. It's kind of new well, technically it's existed for a little while, but I only started working on it recently, so it's missing a lot of things, and there are a few links that 404. Though it's hosted on neocities, it's only slighty Lain themed.

I've been keeping an offline journal for a year or two, but a malleable webpage is more fun. Hugo and HTML alone give me an amazing palette of possibilities. I'm quite happy with how it looks currently, and writing for it already feels like a habit. That's why I'm sharing it now.
