Ugh I don't know why but this was the one that got me. Just no.

This is so British politics. Don't solve all of the fundamental problems of Brexit, just fix the minor one that people will have a direct experience of.

Before the comments roll in, are you venting or looking for advice?

In case it's just the latter: this was a tough read and I hope you're ok.

End of 10 is a campaign to move people over to Linux with Windows 10 support ending in c/linux@programming.dev
[–] Piatro@programming.dev 26 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I think that's because they don't understand or don't care about the risks. Annoyingly I was in the process of making my own version of this campaign when it launched but I was aiming to explain why someone should care that the os is no longer supported and why its a problem first, then suggesting what to do about it. Options weren't exclusively Linux but I realise buying a new device isn't always an option either so some people will absolutely keep using 10. It's not about getting to 100%, just enough that you can make a difference or keep devices out of landfill.

There are some games that don't work or don't work as well. Some anti-cheat systems don't work but the website protondb.com will tell you how compatible specific games are. For some people that's a deal breaker and that's ok, hopefully as adoption increases the situation will get better. I was disappointed to find out that vermintide 2 doesn't work for example.

I have no idea on the pirating side.

With the steam deck proving that Linux gaming was not only possible but easy, I could remove gaming as a reason to keep windows, which meant the only thing I actually wanted windows for was an Adobe subscription that I hadn't used in over a year. With windows fighting me the whole time, Linux got out of my way and let me use my own device how I wanted to. Which by the way sounds like I'm using it for something complicated or specialized but I'm not, I need it for web browsing, gaming, and light photo editing, that's about it.

So that's the positive case to move away from windows. The other side is that Windows is actively hostile to me as a user. I don't want or need copilot. For starters I don't have the hardware to really take advantage of it, and I don't want it using power unnecessarily. I don't want office 365, I don't want OneDrive, I don't want another UI on top of the 5 other UI frameworks that exist in windows which only serve to make it harder to change things to what I want. I don't want to sign in using a Hotmail account I made when I was 12 and haven't touched in years. I don't want windows telling Microsoft how I use my own device. There's some cool stuff in windows 11 like WSL which is awesome for me as a dev in my day job, but it's not enough to keep me in a system that, by design and direction, is trying to lock me into it.

Xbox app is another example, where my game controllers sometimes work and most of the time don't. Sometimes there's cross play with steam, sometimes not. Sometimes even installing the game doesn't work and I have to re-download the entire game again. Just bafflingly bad and costs me more than steam ever has. Ridiculous.

There's probably a correlation between people who are aware enough of reddit's practices and policies to want to switch to Lemmy and people who are engaged in or by political discussion.

Tripod recommendations for an amateur (programming.dev)
 

Hi all, my trusty (but honestly always pretty terrible) Amazon basics tripod finally died, does anyone have a tripod they'd recommend or brands they'd avoid?

Typical usage for me would be travelling/hiking and landscape photography so ideally small and light without breaking the bank (which I know is pretty tough). Budget is variable but call it £100-£200 for now.

I'm bad at the role playing part, suggest a character or trait to separate the P from the C (programming.dev)
 

Title. Friend group and I play regularly but most of us are bad at the role playing part of it to the point where it's hard to tell when the player or the character are speaking in some scenes. Conversations are stiff. We can't use too heavily modified voices because we're playing remotely. My character is about to die (probably!) so help me pick a character or trait of my new character that someone not comfortable roleplaying can stick to without feeling weird about it!

DIY vs pre-build NAS for home use (programming.dev)
 

What do you have, what do you recommend, and why?

Asking as I've got a lot of spare components lying around that I'm planning on turning into a NAS. If it doesn't work out I'll buy a pre-built enclosure and reuse the drives.

[SOLVED] Caddy reverse proxy on LAN with trusted certs without exposing DNS (programming.dev)
submitted 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) by Piatro@programming.dev to c/selfhosted@lemmy.world

EDIT: Issue now resolved. Turns out that having an A record point to a DNS server probably wasn't the best idea. My best theory here is that A records pointing to DNS servers means "Find the authority on this domain at this other DNS server", which could never resolve. By pointing it to my VPS, the DNS could resolve to a definitive IP, and the certs were successfully generated.

Hi all, hope someone can help as I'm just confused now!

Long story short I want to host local services (like ntfy) using trusted certificates. I hoped to do this with Caddy and a wildcard domain (I don't want to expose the DNS records of the services I'm running if not necessary).

In my DNS I have an A record for *.local.example.com pointing at a semi-random IP. I have other services on a VPS on other subdomains so I can't just use a wildcard. This looks like:

blog  A  <VPS IP>
*.local  A  1.1.1.1

On the server in my home network (which I do not want to expose) I have dnsmasq running that is handling local DNS records for services on the LAN but carefully not the remote services on the same domain. Using dig I can see that the local and remote DNS are working as expected. Seeing the error on DNS-01 challenged "could not determine zone for domain "_acme-challenge.local.example.com" I have also added an exception in my local DNS for _acme-challenge.local to point to cloudflare's DNS at 1.1.1.1. The dig command confirms this works as expected after restarting dnsmasq.

With the following Caddyfile:

*.local.example.com {
        tls {
                dns <dns provider plugin> <API token>
        }

        @ntfy host ntfy.local.example.com
        handle @ntfy {
                reverse_proxy ntfy
        }
}

Every DNS-01 challenge fails with "...solving challenges: presenting for challenge: could not determine zone for domain "_acme-challenge.local.example.com"...".

I think this should be possible, but I'm not clear what I'm missing so any help greatly appreciated. I'm just dipping my toes into self-hosting and actually getting practical use out of my Raspberry Pi that's been collecting dust for years.

Ruby Weekly Issue 657: June 8, 2023 (rubyweekly.com)
 

Not affiliated I just find this useful and it exposed me to a few of the new features of Ruby 3.2 like not having to specify the value in kwargs if the variable is defined in scope, eg:

foo = 'bar'; call(foo:) is equivalent to foo = 'bar'; call(foo: foo)
