Which OS do you use for your homeserver? in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world

TrueNAS Core as main OS and a few jails for the services I run on the machine.

Where, and when, did you start using Linux? Where are you now? in c/linux@lemmy.ml

[–] boerbiet@feddit.nl 2 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Started out with Mandrake in 1998 and got into Debian shortly after. I moved to Gentoo in 2002. In the later 2000s I only used my desktop for gaming and stopped dual booting for many years. My home server runs BSD and I was using a 2010 MacBook as my laptop. The only Linux box in my home was my HTPC, running Ubuntu.

When I heard of Proton I started dual booting again. In 2020 I got rid of Windows and the aging MacBook. Since then my desktop, laptop and HTPC run on Arch. The server is still FreeBSD.

Soepelere regels voor ov-kaart van de baas: 'Ov wordt zo aantrekkelijker' in c/thenetherlands@feddit.nl

[–] boerbiet@feddit.nl 9 points 11 months ago

Ik ook en voor dienstreizen (dus niet woon-werkverkeer) mag ik zelfs eerste klas!

Nu is mijn werkgever de overheid, ga ik altijd op de fiets naar het werk en heb ik de ov-kaart maar 4 dagen gebruikt sinds ik er werk om met de trein na een cursus te gaan, waarbij ik na 3,5 jaar eindelijk voor het eerst covid heb opgepikt, maar toch. Minder auto's = goed.

As someone not from the USA I am convinced, after reading many news articles over the past decades, that people voting for the GOP are either evil or too dumb to make any kind of impactful decision.

I'm not an expert on the matter so have a Wikipedia link.

Mull vs Fennec in c/privacy@lemmy.ml

[–] boerbiet@feddit.nl 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I thought Graphene was the culprit. When I switched it was still Android 13 and Mull was unusable. I couldn't interact with it at random until I restarted it, which was quite the problem. Tried Fennec and have had no issues since.

VVD wil vanuit Kamer 'centrumrechts' kabinet mogelijk maken in c/thenetherlands@feddit.nl

[–] boerbiet@feddit.nl 5 points 11 months ago

Het is gewoon kats rechts; al die partijen zijn meer rechts dan centrum, als ze dat laatste al zijn. Maar in een land waar VVD door een grote groep al links wordt genoemd heb ik ook geen hoge verwachtingen.

After I got the update, the first thing I did was look for the setting to disable the system tray icon 😅. Alas, there is no such setting, so I hid it using KDE's controls, but it's suboptimal..

It seems Gen Z is just fine with parents knowing where they are all the time in c/privacyguides@lemmy.one

[–] boerbiet@feddit.nl 5 points 1 year ago

For me it boils down to principles. You're totally right and many companies I hate will have alot of my info due to others, but I'll be damned if I cooperate with them.

Is ProtonVPN worth it? in c/piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com

[–] boerbiet@feddit.nl 3 points 1 year ago

And in case anyone wonders, it works fine in BSD as well. I have a jail with rTorrent which is locked to the VPN connection and uses a cronjob to keep port forwarding active 🙂.
