So, some background: my organization is moving from RHEL7 using the UI/Coolkey Smartcard setup for autolock on removal and authenticating to the AD. We are in the process of upgrading to RHEL8 in our Secure Area (which means local only connections with zero internet access). This process has been insanely complicated versus...
So I've been in King and Snohomish county now for basically a decade, and even though I have a G2G account, and have had for years, has this thing ever worked?...
I got an invite code and so spent a bit of time browsing around because I'd heard good things about it. But I was surprised at how basic and non-diverse it all is. The forums are preset and are very generic. The conversations are definitely better than Reddit, but no better or worse than the ones I've had with people on Fedi....
In a world where nothing seems to work anymore, especially anything related to tech and/or customer service, getting on my laptop running Linux Mint just feels like a breath of fresh air. And that goes for just about any distro. It's nice to have something that works as it should and doesn't seem to go out of its way to cause...
Hello there. I'm a beginner so keep that in mind. I have an old laptop (something like 10 yo). It has an HDD, 4 gigs of DDR3, an i3 4th gen 1.7 GHz and an NVidia Geforce 710M (Windows Game Ready Driver 391.35 WHQL which I think doesn't support Wayland). It also has CSM BIOS so yeah. It has the option of UEFI but the GeForce (I...
I want to get into writing (primarily political), and while I've written some to those, I want to get as far away from centralized social media as I can.
As some of you may know, szmer.info is a domain that's basically full of spammers, so I blocked it. However upon doing so a thread (https://kbin.social/m/[email protected]/t/344185/I-m-worried-that-in-the-future-we-will-be-forced) I was reading basically disappeared from my feed, and on reloading it all the comments...
Everyone seems to be pointing to the Microsoft EEE model without explaining how it has changed since the 90s. Here's what it will look like in today's tech climate. (I forgot to mention in this wall of text that there will probably be a name change or two. Especially if there's a major controversy.)...
/r/personalfinance was one of my more frequented subreddits and I find it pretty valuable. I figure I should try to help get the ball rolling over in the Fediverse and it seems like this is the most active substitute so far....
In the past week and a half, I've noticed Reddit behaviors starting to try and poison all of the places that people are taking refuge in to get away from the toxicity, myself included. They've started to DDoS Lemmy for a while, which is a Reddit thing to do and what they're notorious of doing whenever they feel they don't like...
I have a synology NAS where I backup my photos to. What would be the most cost effective way to encrypt and back up this data without having to purchase another NAS and install it at a family member's house. It would be about 5 TB and would not touch the data unless my NAS completely takes a crap.
I want to self host my own kbin instance. But dream host (my current host) doesn't let me do postgresql unless I get a dedicated server (very expensive). And I don't want to put it on my home machine because I want professional hosting....
Hey self-hosted community! I thought I'd pose this question to you all as you seem to have a lot of experience with hosting things on limited budgets with usually a single person administering!...
Depending on how much you self host, you may find it hard to keep track of your devices' host names. So what are your naming conventions to keep track everything? Some people stick to descriptive names, others pick themes, like Greek mythology....
