You need to get up quick because it will be harder the longer it lasts. Once standing firmly on the ground, lean slightly forwards to shift most of the weight to the front of the foot. It never failed to help me.

Stand up as fast as possible and put your weight on that leg.

Ever heard of parents? It’s not the job of the OS or the browserto monitor and control a kids internet access.

In most jurisdictions you need to be an adult to legally get an Internet access.

So people using the Internet are either adults or under the supervision of adults.

The browsers sooner or later will always respond “18+” and do not ask the OS.

Well—that is certainly a meticulous observation 👍

Thank you! 2FAuth looks very promising. Especially with the Android app! I need to check out the repo and history when I’m back home, though. It seems to be a one-man show.

We should make it more clear, that it is not “Mastodon is the thing” but “ActivityPub is the thing, and Mastodon is just one of many implementations”

Aegis seems to be just an app. The thing is, that I see an app as second option for accessing the data. I’d like to have a selfhosted service that is accessible independent from a device and – for convenience – has an app, too.

It’s the normal driver in the state it was when Nvidia dropped support. @Ooops@feddit.org described it very well.

I don’t know the situation with Ubuntu, but on Arch Linux older Nvidia drivers are available as legacy driver DKMS modules working with the current kernel and tools.

So basically: Yes, this will work on a technical level.

My 1080 is supported by one of the legacy driver packages and is roughly 10 years old now.

I am pretty sure something similar exists for Ubuntu.

This a good idea?

This sounds like a fun project that needs some customization, like styling and templating everything to make it look like a blog with federation and comments and not like a Lemmy instance.

Edit: You could also setup GoToSocial for example and set maximum character size to 5000 or so.

This will give you a place to blog and get comments. Readers need a front-end and for them it just looks like a Mastodon account, but you could use styling and template magic to convert the back-end into a nice looking blog front-end.

It’s easy to setup, host, and maintain and runs on fairly low resources.

Lemmy or Piefed? Which is easier to host

Can’t say anything about Piefed, but from what I tried quite some time ago, Lemmy is absurdly annoying to properly set up in an already existing Docker environment with an already existing reverse proxy, because it wants to basically handle everything on it’s own.

It might be actually easier to use another machine or a VM and install Docker there and let Lemmy do whatever it wants to do und just proxy from your main setup to the Lemmy setup.

I gave up.

Google decided we need to be fed more algorithm crap instead of actually useful (i.e. most recent) results.

Oh, cool. I have both installed for different reasons and discovered it by accident.

My largest issue right now is that you cannot order search results by date anymore.

You can give mpv an URL from YouTube and it will play that video.

Yeah. It’s bean a long time!

Not-wired connections are always and without exception a workaround for devises where it is impossible or impractical to use a wired connection with.

Exactly! Your user data is stored in c:\users. This includes, well, your user data for all of the users, including all user-spefific configuration files and application data and actual files and directories created by the user.

Unfortunately lots of configuration is stored in the registry and is useless for transitioning them over to Linux. Same with most Windows software that doesn’t use the registry. You’ll unfortunately also find configuration files all.over the place. Might it be in the application’s installation directory c:\ProgramData, or somewhere else.

Malicious compliance is the best form of compliance.

can’t figure this shit out!

Oh they can. They just won’t.
