  • To expose your services easily and securely look up tailscale it’s completely free and is setup per device, ex download on your moms phone and you can manage that phones access.

    Tailscale uses wiregaurd and some weird ass NAT magic to make every device have direct connections to each other creating a “tailnet”

    It’s a zero trust architecture so you have to whitelist every device on it. What that means practically is it’s very difficult to compromise and that’s by it’s nature. You don’t have to have a high technical level to be very secure using tailscale.

    There is also twingate which I think is similar but I’m not as familiar with twingate






  • Yeah there is, I get it though. I’ve noticed that in myself I have a much shorter fuse now. I try not to take it out on people because I recognize it’s just misplaced frustration.

    Part of the reason I made this post was to just let people get all of their vitriol and upset feelings out, if even a little.

    It’s of course not helpful to shout in the void but it also alleviates some of that frustration people feel. I thought it may be a bit therapeutic to give strangers a little spot to direct some of that negativity to.

    Thank you for the kind words and your quotation perfectly sums up the response I’m trying to maintain in my mind, if only for my own sanity.







  • maybe calm down a bit

    While my tone wasn’t cordial it also wasn’t ALL CAPS SAYING KYS

    You may be projecting a bit?

    Regardless I’ve seen this garbage take on lemmy enough that I’m not going to politely point out the fault. I’ll check their Lemmy contributions and call them fucking clowns if they are saying silly shit like “remove content me no likey for pendantic reasons” while contributing nothing to posts.

    It’s alotta reddit entitlement and I will attempt to call it out when i see it and I’m not going to be pleasant about it




  • Lol “the people actually making content are the problem” y’all are fucking clowns.

    Can we just be loose with the moderation while the “top” posts don’t even get 2k upvotes.

    It gave lemmy content, it led to engaging discussions, who tf cares if the title is bad.

    Jesus Christ I don’t understand this mentality

    You’ve made 3 posts in 2 years, op contributed to more fediverse in a day than you did in two years.

    You really want to make this place better, then quit your bitchin or contribute more and your bitchin will be more understandable


  • So I’m newer to Linux as a whole so some of this maybe a bit off but:

    Immutable distros big difference is you can’t mess with the root partition ( you can there are just more steps involved), it’s read only. The advantage to this is it’s harder to fuck up your system, and it’s described as more secure. The downside is if you need a program that isn’t available in a flatpack, snap, or app image it’s a pain in the ass. Bazzite ships with distrobox which essential allows you to run a different distro in a container to use programs available to that distro, ex: you can run the Debian version of Firefox on a fedora system. Not all issues can be avoided with this, compiling code for instance is still a nightmare with distrobox

    Now the good things: no live updates so an update won’t get messed up from a live install The system will update in the background and then when you fire it up next time THEN you are in the updated version. Bazzite is atomic specifically (an immutable subset) that applies updates all at once or not at all if it fails, you can also always roll back to a previous version at the GRUB menu. After it updates to the new image it then applies the local personal layers, so every update it kinda like starting with a fresh install

    The main thing to look for is that any apps you want to use are supported in a flakpack, if all you are doing is gaming then you shouldn’t have to worry, both lutris and steam come with bazzite

    Here is a link to a Lemmy post with community opinions on immutable distros



  • The whole point of Linux is to tinker

    Fair enough but the sole reason I went to Linux is because I despise Microsoft. I wanted a less bloated, not ad ridden, and more customized( mainly just the GUI) experience that gave me more control over my PC. Now I only use this PC for gaming and streaming, so really I just want those two things to work with as little fiddling as possible. Obviously everyone’s use case is different and immutable is definitely not a good choice for power users (from what I’ve read).



  • That makes sense, bazzite is referred to as atomic (that’s what I meant in the above comment about atomic being more appropriate, forgot to add that context though lol) specifically instead of immutable. Bazzite updates like you said and you can always roll back, thank you for the explanation!
