Would love a meetup replacement. It’s been hot garbage for a while. Not to mention a good portion of meetups in my city have died off since the pandemic :/

Genuinely did not know that, thanks

I use that exact stack. Bitwarden for 3 years Mullvad and Tuta for one. Can’t speak to their ethics or anything I wouldn’t know. But the quality of service has been great for me at least

Starting piece of gear you wish you got sooner? (Day Hikes) (lemmy.world)

Me and my wife are planing to do a lot of hiking and camping in 2025. Starting off with just the trails around Austin, TX and expanding as we go.

Got the basics:

  • Hiking Boots
  • light day pack w/ bladder
  • simple first aid kit
  • downloaded maps

I used to go all the time when I lived near a trail head, but I would never go much further than 4 miles in before turning around. We won’t be that far from civilization most of the time, nothing too intense.

Thanks y’all!

Edit: thank for the advice y’all!!

Can’t believe I forgot hats, definitely picking up some. Will also pack my leatherman too.

And I agree hiking boots are probably a little overkill for most the trails we’ll be doing at first. But we want to get used to them and break them in for longer and rougher hikes we’re planning later this year.

Is it practically impossible for a newcomer selfhost without using centralised services, and get DDOSed or hacked? in c/[email protected]

Exactly what I do and works like a dream. Had a VPS and nginx to proxy domain to it but got rid of it because I really had no use for it, the Tailscale method worked so well.

Nostalgic Distros? (lemmy.world)
 

I tired Linux a few times in the past, but didn’t really start using seriously until 2019. I love poking around old OSs and distros, and I want to spin a few up in some VMs my next free evening.

Any suggestions? Open to any distro (or let’s be honest, DE). Any versions that holds a special place in your heart or that’s exceptionally novel? Really interested to see what’s out there!

KRunner vs Application Launcher (use cases?) in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Think it’s mainly just preference. I prefer krunner since it feels closer to raycast when I was on Mac, then when I switched to Linux as my daily driver, runner just felt natural. (Tried out Alfred for a bit but krunner did everything I personally needed)

I’ll throw my vote in for Jellyfin as well. My wife had a big dvd and Blu-ray collection and it streams perfectly over local network. If you’re into dev at all, I use mine to as a dev environment and Jenkins container to test and deploy my commits
