oh wow the salute was from *above *the heart… which, for me, rules out the ‘from the heart’ defence.

Which was always bullshit, but you know… better to be able to debunk it properly.

Does anyone know if it’s possible to run VR games on Linux? I’d love t ditch Windows for the gaming pc…

My non-profit the Rebel Tech Alliance is working on a series of blog posts that will look at self hosting for begginners. If you sign up for the blog you’ll get them when they’re published:

But really what I’ve got going (if you exclude Transmission) is the simplest stuff. Jellyfin, Calibre and Syncthing are just ‘click and install’ - they are all self contained so they don’t need all that Docker stuff. I suggest just tinkering with them.

Also running Calibre, Syncthing, Transmission and Filen. all on Linux Mint.

I can’t cope with TUI-only OS’s - the command stuff makes no sense to me at all. I’ve learned some of it, and am trying to get Nextcloud running in Docker behind Nginx Proxy Manager, but I can’t work out DDNS yet so… 😂

I was keen on Proxmox or Yunohost, but put off by the fact that they totally replace the OS. I’d be more comfortable with something that runs on the OS, like Docker does.

This is going well for me - Jellyfin etc

Thank you for your help!

We have fixed it - the problem was that I had already set up DNS records so that Tuta could send emails using our website domain. This was blocking the proper set up of mailgun/transactional emails.

So we worked out how to set up emails for the business separately using the SMPT email server of our web hosting provider - et voila! Email set up works!

Peaceful general strikes would be a better first option imho

If only. Most people I know have never heard of F-Droid… Only privacy-savvy people have.

I’d be more worried about having to send gov ID docs - more creepy control by Google.

Contact your representative. And here’s F-droid’s article about it (including how to find your representative at the end of the article): https://f-droid.org/en/2025/09/29/google-developer-registration-decree.html

I bought one for self hosting and flashed it with Linux.

lol I thought this was a guerrilla IT warfare post where you snuck in and did it, but you actually did it with permission… 😂
