I didn’t add it to any lists, but to the network interface itself. You know the output of ip a? The one pihole listens on (wg0 in my case, because wireguard) has something like, say, 10.0.0.1, but also 8.8.8.8. So when a DNS packet is spit out by chromecast to go to 8.8.8.8 UDP port 53 - my pihole happily answers that request. You could also do a separate unbound instance on a new virtual interface with a quad8 ip and just forward everything to pihole, if you fancy.

Being locked into googles DNS gives me problems

I solved that by adding an 8.8.8.8 ip to my pihole interface. Because of how TCP/IP works, this has the fewest hops and is, therefore, the one to be used. I’m blocking all outbound DNS traffic for good measure.

Separate. That’s the whole point of containerisation! Otherwise you’re just doing a regular deploy with extra steps

I would suggest having an nginx as a reverse proxy (I prefer avoiding a container as it’s easier to manage) and the have your services in whatever medium you prefer.

Plug your pies into wireguard. Problem solved.

That’s a bullshit excuse. Looks at Arch’s AUR. Look at Gentoo’s guru. What happens for proprietary stuff is a deb or rpm package is downloaded, extracted and files copies where they should be. That’s it. And it works, because the cornerstone of the system is libc and the kernel. And these, for the overwhelming majority of applications, behave exactly the same on all distros.

Thanks for the laugh, guys! :D I’ll leave it as is

Nowadays, this is a mute point.

OSM is run by a foundation - https://www.openstreetmap.org/about

This makes it a lot more difficult to cock it up compared to a shareholder run company.

This is so cool!

I did notice the dark background does not extend all the way down across the screen on a 9:21 aspect ratio of my phone.

Sorry, this is very much a PEBKAC issue. This is a excerpt from my tmux config:

# Start windows and panes at 1, not 0
set -g base-index 1
setw -g pane-base-index 1

# Use Alt-arrow keys without prefix key to switch panes
bind -n M-Left select-pane -L
bind -n M-Right select-pane -R
bind -n M-Up select-pane -U
bind -n M-Down select-pane -D

# Shift arrow to switch windows
bind -n S-Left  previous-window
bind -n S-Right next-window

# No delay for escape key press
set -sg escape-time 0

# Increase scrollback buffer size from 2000 to 50000 lines
set -g history-limit 50000

# Increase tmux messages display duration from 750ms to 4s
set -g display-time 4000

# Bind pane creation keys to reuse current directory
bind % split-window -h -c "#{pane_current_path}"
bind '"' split-window -v -c "#{pane_current_path}"

I hope the comments are self explanatory.

Scrolling works with Ctrl+b Page Up/Down. There are other shortcuts, but this is probably the most obvious. q to quit scrolling.

Ctrl+b d to detach from a session. tmux a to attach. As always, many options are available to have many named sessions running simultaneously, but that is for a later time.

I don’t know the specifics on Fedora’s installer, but normally that question is about disabling root account, not logging into a DE.

Not sure what else to elaborate here. There’s a bunch of code that is not tested to be run as root. A whole class of exploits becomes unavailable, if you stick to an unprivileged user.

Say there’s some exploit that allows some component of KDE to be used to read a file. If it’s running under an unprivileged user - it sucks. Everything in user’s homedir becomes fair game. But if it runs as root - it’s simply game over. Everything on the system is accessible. All config, all bad config, files of all applications (databases come to mind). Everything.

Is it actually dangerous to run Firefox as root?

Yes, very. This is not specific to Firefox, but anything running as root gets access to everything. Only one thing has to go wrong for the whole system to get busted.

usually logged into KDE Plasma as root.

Please don’t do this! DEs are not tested to be run as root! Millions of lines of code are expected to not have access to anything they shouldn’t have and as such might be built to fail quietly if accessing something they shouldn’t in the first place. Same thing applies to Firefox, really.

Do I need to disable compression on my swap subvolume?

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Btrfs#Swap_file

Is there anything else I should keep in mind for fstab if I want to, say, not keep track of my Downloads folder when snapshotting?

Just create a separate subvolume for it. Snapshots do not work recursively, so it will be left alone.

Mount options also only take effect on the first mount of the device. Since it looks like you only have 1 btrfs device - only / needs the options, really.

No idea what it was, sorry. One of the youtube recommendations at the time.

I remember seeing the video of this. The guy was doing it for shits and giggles, but it ended up looking great!

I’ve only got a few years on Gentoo - how has your journey been? You must’ve started with stage 1!

Do yourself a favour and don’t host it, yet. Lemmy is not quality software. You have 3 options here:

• pay someone to take care of it for you
• learn more about computer management and computers in general, first; then host it
• ignore the first two options, which will inevitably lead to your instance crashing and burning

Best of luck!

It does, but apt is the only package manager on Debian.
