I presume they mean pointing their cloudflare tunnel to direct lemmy.example.com to http://localhost/:[port], and I don’t think there’s any special rules about that port from cloudflares site.

I use tunnels and ports in about that range for all my sites, and don’t have any problems.

Why would you need an Internet connection to use GPS?

You probably don’t need me to tell you, but keep good backups. Friend of mine recently had his account nuked without any reason given, and without the possibility of recourse.

Guess I’m lucky to have broken the mics on mine by accidentally throwing them in the wash?

If might also just be a testament to how jank Apple Music on Android can be. Anyway, I just hope you find a solution that works well for you.

This is kinda funny to me because I was using Apple Music before, and I honestly feel it’s less jank.

I feel it’s been getting better. Like, it isn’t perfectly smooth, but I like what I get on the Frontpage way more than what I did with Spotify.

I do, but I see that it’s a preference thing. However, the whole game/story felt to me like it was a passion project. I feel like it’s a gamble at best whether or not whoever hasbro finds to do it will be able to give it the same dedication.

3 years of security updates, ships with Android 14 and gets two version upgrades, to Android 16, which is the version being released right now. I feel that isn’t the solution either.

Why are you using a recording app with ads/tracking when there’s free alternatives that don’t do that?

Like, if you really wanna have transcripts, Google’s recording app works even if you deny it network access. Found that out because I was too lazy to look for a proper FOSS solution.

As someone guessed above - Stranded: Alien Dawn

Yup, Stranded: Alien Dawn.

Earlier this year, I got a game I liked on steam. Pretty much 3d Rimworld. After playing for 20 hours over a few weeks, I sporadically started getting errors about me having “no hardware activations” left for the game, and how I should wait 24 hours. I have never installed it on any other machine.

It is so very silly that a pirated copy would be the more seamless experience.

I actually kinda did that. Sent a preconfigured thinkcentre to my mum that boots into the jellyfin media player, connects to my server via tailscale. Just had to plug it into power, lan, hdmi. Immutable, atomic system that looks for updates on boot, applies them on next reboot, and does a rollback and ping me if the update fails.

I have ssh access, and my brother lives nearby in case everything fails, that makes things easier.

I kinda get it with “soft” targets (e.g. Let’s see what we can do in a day/weekend). “Hard” targets (you gotta do x in x Minutes) pretty much guarantee I’ll get nothing good done.

Yes, I hated every coding exam I’ve bin in.

I guess you could install cockpit (via Terminal, sorry, but it’s pretty straightforward and there are good guides). After that, you could use the cockpit web interface to deploy docker/podman containers. It’s a bit clunky sometimes, but it does the job purely in UI.

You can also manage updates, backups, etc via cockpit if you install the required modules.

As base, I’d use any stable Linux distro that’s reccomended for server use.

Edit: Comment was in wrong place, refiled as op level comment.

Graphene doesn’t. The way I see it is like buying a laptop with pre-installed Windows, and replacing the OS.

In theory, maybe. In practice, I’ve had a lot of errors in that vein that very much wouldn’t go away, and where made much harder to diagnose by their obtuseness.

Honestly, I even dislike the mindset. Just make a big header with the generic error message and a little one below that gives some details. Having users interested in how your software works is not a bad thing.

Finally someone who actually uses a Vostro. Always found that name unreasonably funny.
