Please, don’t expose VNC to the internet, ever. It’s a horrendously insecure protocol that uses plaintext passwords of no more than 8 characters and everything that passes over the connection is unencrypted and visible to anyone sniffing the traffic.
Once it was the only option, but there are dozens of better things out there now which should be used, even on a lan or vpn.
Why add age checks?
I’ve read this from several sources now and not found anywhere that explains why they’re doing this. Are they being threatened with legal action?
They do, but Linux is not dependent upon Red Hat.
Debian has always attracted zealots, many of whom were extremely… impolite… during the systemd wars, on both sides of that schism. Sadly, as in most things, the majority of reasonable, quiet, hard working community members get drowned out because, well, they’re reasonable, quiet and hardworking.
I think RH made a lot of important contributions to the Linux ecosystem and pushed it forward by a lot.
I agree - and historically they have led innovation in truly groundbreaking ways, but my personal view is that those glory days are a long way in the past now. Whilst they do still do some good work for FOSS, the purchase by IBM has in my view, changed objectives. To me, Red Hat has changed from being a profit making company that existed to support foss projects, to a subsidiary running foss projects to support a profit making company.
IBM don’t buy companies to make the world a better place.
Agree. Although Mariadb has drifted significantly (and with very good reason) in terms code, features and SQL - I still mentally parse “Mysql” as “MariaDb”. It’s one of the best forks I’ve ever encountered in all my time using foss. I currently maintain around 80 MariaDb servers and have remarkably few problems.
Much as I like to see variety in software, I do kind of wish more recognition of MariaDb was given, and more support.
Just installed debian on a S440 tonight to replace a HP Pavilion that had just ejected its charge port. Doubt the thinkpad will have the same problem, the HPs flex so much I’m surprised it lasted as long as it did.
The thinkpad install was flawless, even had the wifi drivers in the installer without needing non-free.
Imagine having only two parties. Wild.
That happened ™
It happens every day. Hundreds if not thousands of times.
Never heard of something like that, and I suspect anyone who started creating it soon filed it under “Really bad ideas” alongside “Whoops, why did my kernel just stop?”
sar is the traditional way to watch for high load processes, but do the basics first as that’s not exactly trivial to get going. Things like running htop. Not only will that give you a simple breakdown of memory usage (others have already pointed out swap load which is very likely), but also sorting by cpu usage. htop is more than just a linux taskmgr, it’s a first step triage for stuff like this.
/Colour/ Photocopiers cost about the same as a new car back then, so whilst they existed, they weren’t exactly within access to schoolkids.
Not a Lemmy resource, but if you do want reasonably unbiased news that gets suppressed - especially in certain countries, Wikipedia does cover some of it - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:Current_events
1490s
Yeah. Why didn’t people just stay put?
I’m older than most on here and seen more decades, and yes, I agree totally.
We’re lucky enough to have lived through a long period of relative global peace, but that seems to be drawing to an end. Corruption, fascism, stupidity, control, fear and lack of freedom are all far more now than at any time since the 1940s.
Even if you do know code, nobody reads all the source code when trying something out.
We still rely largely on trust, and herd protection. Lots of stars on github? Been around for a while? Keeps showing up in “Top lists” and on those posts on social media where people list the foss software they use? Issues get solved reasonably quickly and there’s no ancient and ignored posts on there? It hasn’t changed hands recently to somebody with a new account and no history? It’s probably a good project.
It is still a risk, but a managed one.
Holding in the farts.
It doesn’t need the Dockerfile to run.
Thanks for the feedback, always interesting to hear how people might use a tool like this.
I do have email notifications in the roadmap, but to be honest, I’ve struggled to visualise how that might work for two reasons:
One of Taskpony’s goals is that it’s as easy to install and run as it could be. Configuring email settings takes a lot of detail (especially when running in docker where you can’t rely on a local smtp). I’ve thought about other tools like ntfy.sh, which I love, but the whole ecosystem of dozens of systems and tools for DM style notifications is too wide to support.
I wouldn’t use it like that, I’d use a calendar for distant events, and there’s no plans to support “Task must be done by” style timers, as again, I think the interface would get too complex. I keep Taskpony in a tabbed browser, and also as one of my daily bookmark folders, so it shows up regularly enough to show me.
Out of interest, how would you use notifications, or see how they’d work? Are you thinking of browser notifications? And if so, on what logic might they trigger?
Great that you’re using it!
And yes - sadly koyeb’s demo went down as I posted this link. I’ve quickly thrown up another demo here; https://taskpony.onrender.com/
Some of us gamers have been training for that our whole lives.
