Reddit enrages users again by ditching thank-you coins and awards in c/technology@lemmy.world

Honestly the whole reddit protest was really good for me. I stopped spending so much time online, I only open lemmy occasionally too. Overall goodness for the planet

Threads logo looks like a cinnamon bun in c/main@sh.itjust.works
[–] carrot@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 year ago

I actually don't think it looks TOO bad. But in not sure what it means.

While writing this I figured out its an 'a' @ symbol. Instead of following the one line, it uses the a with an overhang

What is an unpopular game/series you enjoy anyway? in c/patientgamers@sh.itjust.works

Been playing Hero's Hour recently from the itch summer bundle. Never played any Civilization style games before but this one is really fun.

Is it safe to open ports 80 and 443 in my home network? (sh.itjust.works)
 

Hi all, I'm running a small website off of a raspberry pi in my house. I have opened ports 80 and 443 and connected my IP to a domain. I'm pretty confident in my security for my raspberry pi (no password ssh, fail2ban, nginx. Shoutout networkchuck.). However, I am wondering if by exposing my ports to the raspberry pi, I am also exposing those same ports to other devices in my home network, for example, my PC. I'm just a bit unsure if port forwarding to an internal IP would also expose other internal IP's or if it only goes to the pi. If you are able to answer or have any other comments about my setup, I would appreciate your comment. Thanks!

FYI, lots of users are polling to defederate sh.itjust.works in c/main@sh.itjust.works

Crazy that instances wanna defederate from a whole other instance because there's a community for another political party. Let people who challenge your ideas exist, jesus

Is there a problem with keeping the backend of an NGINX server in /var/www ? in c/webdev@programming.dev
[–] carrot@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

Ahh I see. I never considered the config file. Thank you for the help!

Sorry, by accessible to users I mean visitors. Some sort of example.com/../.git shouldn't be possible up to my knowledge.

Is there a problem with keeping the backend of an NGINX server in /var/www ? (sh.itjust.works)
 

Hi all. I'm looking to make a backend in my NGINX server, for a website that only gets a few views. Right now I'm managing the files of the site using Git, with /var/www/ as the folder on github. I'm looking to create an ip logger to plot onto a map, and I'm wondering if there are any problems with hosting it on /var/www. My main concerns are if it's accessible to other users or if it'll slow down NGINX. I'm absolutely able to do it in another folder, but I am wondering if there are any problems with keeping any files in /var/www. To my knowledge, only past /var/www/html is viewable by a connection.

Thanks!

Require email or captcha until this is resolved? in c/main@sh.itjust.works
[–] carrot@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Definitely captcha. Email anonymity is nice, and I don't want to sign up with my email to everything.

If there is going to be a captcha tho, use hCaptcha or one of the cloudflare ones. Google captcha is just free labor for developing AI and I don't think anyone wants to keep contributing to that.

Which distro are you using right now? in c/linux@sh.itjust.works
[–] carrot@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

True, however I cant screenshot neofetch and brag online so it kinda defeats the whole point of arch linux anyway, right?

I was surprised to visit itjust.works (without the sh.) and find an IT company. How did the url sh.itjust.works come to be, amazing name and all?

How do you guys use a distro that doesn't have the AUR (or equivalent?) (sh.itjust.works)
 

I know I said in my last post I'm a noob, and, i still am, I'm just a noob who can follow a YouTube tutorial. I installed Arch, not only for its minimalistic install, but also because I love the AUR. Everything I could ever want to install is there, and anyone who wants to upload their files can. This gives a windows-like install experience, which, pardon my... spanish, is actually pretty good. Any program is free to be uploaded and installed by anyone.

My question to you is: If you do not use an arch-based distro, how do you go about installing software? I've heard people say that "the default package manager is enough" but I can't be the only person who installs niche software. I wouldn't want to only be able to install packages hopefully approved by my distro. Flatpaks are kind of annoying, in my opinion? It's not a native install of a package, it's sandboxed (which can be good in some cases, but in general just an inconvenience.) Compiling from source is too hardcore for me, so props if that is you, however, non-FOSS software has to be moved by hand to its specific folders and .desktop files have to be made by text. If you don't use the AUR, how do you go about your Linux experience?

P.S. Hope you like the new sux/teal logo!

Such a cool piece of software. Use this community for anything related to linux for now, if it gets too huge maybe there will be some sort of meme/gaming/shitpost spinoff. Currently though... go nuts
