At work, we use PiSignage for a large overhead screen. It’s based on Debian and uses a fullscreen Firefox running in the labwc compositor. The developer advertises a management server (cloud or self-hosted) to manage multiple connected devices, but it’s completely optional (superfluous in my opinion) and the standalone web UI is perfectly usable.

You can absolutely use it without a reverse proxy. A proxy is just another fancy HTTP client that contacts the server on the original client’s behalf and forwards the response back to it, usually wrapped in HTTPS. A man in the middle that you trust.

All you have to do is expose the desired port(s) to all addresses:

# ...
  - ports:
    - 8080:8080

…and obviously to set the URL environment variables to localhost or whatever address the server uses.

I don’t know which feature you mean, can you link the documentation?

I used it for a while, and it’s a decent solution. Similar to Tailscale’s subnet router, but it always uses a relay and doesn’t do all the UDP black magic. I think it uses TCP to create the tunnel, which might introduce some network latency compared to Tailscale or bare Wireguard.

Right… my mistake, I guess I had SSH config entries in Termux and never questioned whether SSH was using those or DNS.

Still, try to find some way to check which server is being queried. It might reveal connectivity problems with the local DNS server.

Install Termux, then use either the dig or nslookup command to query the DNS name, and check which DNS server is queried. If it’s the private server’s address, you might be having connectivity issues. If it’s 100.100.100.100, the resolver is still trying to query Tailscale’s MagicDNS.

i3 has tabbed windows, and it stands to reason that Sway should have it too.

Hyprland has window groups: https://wiki.hypr.land/Configuring/Dispatchers/#grouped-tabbed-windows

Niri has a feature like that, but a little different since it’s a scrolling tiler. A column that contains two or more windows can be switched to tabbed mode, which displays one window at a time with full height, but you can’t have a tabbed group that is a member of a column, only full tabbed columns.

private dns setting of android

Probably. If that setting is enabled, Android (including Graphene) defaults to 8.8.8.8 if the higher-priority DNS servers (manual or received from DHCP) don’t support DNS-over-TLS or DNS-over-HTTPS.

Proxmox is my number one choice. It’s based on Debian, and has an excellent, extremely straightforward web UI for managing virtual machines and LXC containers.

It’s perfectly reasonable from the perspective of corporate scum: take away a standard feature, then sell it back as an extra. As far as I know, the modem still had UPnP for applications that rely on it.

No, I got it from the horse’s mouth: my WAN address was publicly routable all along, the ISP just disabled those NAT-related features remotely.

I finally got my ISP to enable bridge mode on my modem.

I also learned that I didn’t lose port forwarding and related services because I had been moved behind CGNAT or transitioned to IPv6 – they simply no longer offer port forwarding to residential customers. Ruminate on the implications of that statement so I’m not the only one with blood pressure in the high hundreds.

Even in the open source community, the libre-ness of a product is just one of many factors. The fitness for a purpose, the initial difficulty of the setup, the continuous difficulty of operation and maintenance, the pace of development (if applicable), the professional or community support structure, the projected longevity of the product or service, and the general insanity of the people involved are all important factors that can, and often do outweigh the importance of open software.

Unbound with Tailscale’s split DNS has been solid for me. I use it as an OPNsense service with the web GUI, but the standalone YAML config looks simple enough.

I’ve never used Linkwarden, but the /data folder is often used by Docker containers to store the application’s data, so it’s likely an internal path. You’ll have to create a volume that exposes the internal /data path to the host filesystem, then whatever is written into that directory will be made available to both the container and the host system. Any file or directory in the container can be exposed this way.

I usually put my data volumes in /srv (where my large RAID array is mounted) and config volumes in /config, into a subdirectory named after the service, and with the minimal necessary privileges to run the container and the service. You could, for example, create volumes like this:

/srv/linkwarden/postgres_data:/var/lib/postgresql/data
/srv/linkwarden/linkwarden_data:/data/data
/srv/linkwarden/meili_data:/meili_data

The volume path (left side of the colon) can be anything. The right side is where the services expect their files to appear inside the container.

The Lemmy backend, the default web frontend, the Jerboa app, and the lemmy.ml instance are all owned by the same person.

I don’t know which label is the most accurate, but he supports Putin’s war, which lands him in the “shitbag” category. Being technically not fascist does not negate supporting the military invasion of a sovereign country, the ethnic cleansing of its people, and the rape, murder, and torture committed by the invaders.

You are literally on Lemmy. The project owner’s views are well-known.

on limewire

Not only has this made me realize how fucking old I am, but I also got curious about how Limewire is doing, and…

In September 2025, LimeWire acquired the Fyre Festival brand, including its intellectual property, trademarks, online domains, and social media assets, from Billy McFarland via an auction held on eBay.

…according to Wikipedia. At this point, my 2025 bingo card would serve better as kindling.

The most straight-forward method would be to buy a standalone switch. I have a TP-LINK TL-SG108 8-port gigabit switch and it seems to retain the ARP table indefinitely.

My previous solution was an ESP32 board with an SSH server and a relay, wired parallel with the power switch, that would be closed by an output pin on command.
