There Is No Content on Gemini (2022) in c/gemini@lemmy.ml

The only people who say gemini has no content are the ones who never jumped into its many rabbit holes.

Website hosting in c/buyeuropean@feddit.uk
[–] 0x0@programming.dev 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I've been mostly searching for VPS providers, but these tend to also offer website hosting. So,
Hetzner (🇩🇪), Mythic Beasts (🇬🇧🇳🇱🇺🇸), Liquid Web (🇺🇸🇳🇱), ionos (🇺🇸🇪🇺), limitless (🇬🇧🇺🇸🇸🇬🇦🇺).
Again, my focus was VPS providers and i'll have to double-check if any are american companies, but should get you started.

Dunno (yet); i'd assume they'd scan your wallet QR?

I haven't explored that yet as here is none nearby. There aren't many vendors of these machines.

Which Distribution and Desktop Environment should I use? in c/linux@lemmy.ml
[–] 0x0@programming.dev 1 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

I'd probably go with Mint XFCE or those listed, or you can search for distros that target older hardware. I'll get back to yo on that.

Edit: so, @thatonecoder@lemmy.ca, my main search was focusing on minimal distros for old hardware (less that 1 GiB of RAM that support x86 (i.e. 32 bit)), these may fit the bill: Tiny Core, Puppy, Porteus, Absolute, antiX, Q4OS, Slax, Sparky, MX, Bohdi, Zorin Lite, Xubuntu, Archbang, Slitaz, DSL.
From here on we're on "may need ≥ 1 GiB" territory: Lubuntu, Lite, MATE, Peppermint, LXLE, LMDE, bunsenlabs, Crunchbang++, EasyOS.

Again, my focus was on low RAM usage and preferably supporting x86. Most distros aren't Wayland-ready yet, bare that in mind.
As most said, Mint with XFCE is a good start and most distros offer a "live" version you can boot to try without installing.

Terminology question (programming.dev)
 

Greetings, non-native and curious here.

I know a transport manifest is the document that lists contents being transported: items, quantities, etc... often used in long-haul trucks.

Are there other documents like this? Invoiceable? If i own a small business and go buy, say, a laptop at another business (requiring such a document since it's a B2B transaction and the item will be carried in a company vehicle), is it still a "transport manifest" or does it have another name?

Best places to buy batteries? (programming.dev)
 

I'm looking to replace the battery of a ThinkPad T410 (and maybe of a T480 as well but i haven't tested them yet).

What are the recommended places to get them in the EU?

I've already found ifixit for the T480 but i'm more focused on the T410 atm.

Twitter Acts Fast on Nonconsensual Nudity If It Thinks It’s a Copyright Violation (www.404media.co)
 

Twitter will remove nonconsensual nude images within hours as long as that media is reported for having violated someone’s copyright. If the same content is reported just as nonconsensual intimate media, Twitter will not remove it within weeks, and might never remove it at all, according to a pre-print study from researchers at the University of Michigan.

Using a chromecast without a google account? (programming.dev)

I have a 2nd-gen chromecast, it's factory reset. If i plug it in all it tells me is to install the app to start configuring.

I don't have a google account not do i want to install/use google-related stuff on my phone.

My home router doesn't register any new device, which makes sense since the cast doesn't know the SSID/pass of the WiFi.

Does it try to ping some service/port? Multicast perhaps? Where would it get an IP from without authenticating?

My (wired) PC runs gentoo.

How can i get it to work in these conditions?

Well it's not a network client, it presents its own WiFi network. Got a laptop with a live distro to connect to it and run this script to configure it. Seemed to work, apparently.

Then tried a bunch of clients:

  • VLC will just eternally remain in scanning mode
  • go-chromecast kept throwing errors even with host/port parameters
  • chrome wouldn't find the device (with the laptop connected to the hotspot)

My guess is it needs to phone home to finish setup (the script has wifi name/pass parameters though) or i borked something.

Not gonan waste more time on it, i'll just gift it.
