@kelpana so cool! good luck!

@kelpana are you competing?! Good luck if is the case, have fun anyway 😂

@kelpana thanks! Very unlikely, but sounds cool. Didn't know the place!

@kelpana you're in actual Bristol; I missed that. I would have loved to say hi or something having a coffee or a beer -- depending on availability and if you thought it was appropriate!

Is not common that the Internet leaks into my city 😂

Recap of my rPi home server so far: usebox.net/jjm/blog/my-home-se

(I'm not paying attention, I was convinced the thing had 512MB of RAM... but it has 1GB! wow!)

@voxel @Waterfox I should open a bug report in GH I guess

Hi @Waterfox 👋

The help menu in the android app goes to: waterfox.net/docs/support/andr

That is 404!

@Blerkotron hah, hopefully when the AI is gone what is left is not the "shit" part! My condolences

Essentially.

Yep, I agree that the main quest is very meh.

Looking good, Kharjo.

Done!

I also added a mua and this: wiki.debian.org/UnattendedUpgr

And that's all for now. Will add more things as I feel like it, but the home server is ready!

I should probably buy a SD card though 😂

Doesn't matter if I can recover the system in 10 minutes if I have to wait for the SD card to come in the mail.

(although I could go and buy it from a local shop; true)

Considering that setting up the SD card took me about 3 minutes, I'm not going to clone it or anything. Instead I'll start a git repo with the conf and push it to a different server.

I know, I could be using something more dev-op-sy; but I don't care. It should be easy to disaster-recover anyway.

@phf if is eth or wlan, check the arp table for a MAC addr. From memory, ip a?

@puttycad on the screenshot looks better with the dithering. How does it look real size on a screen?

Actually, that's something to explore with Vic: Linux system/network admin. If he likes playing with that, there's a lot of fun stuff to learn.

That's how I started my IT career 25 years ago, after all. The coding gigs came after the sysadm stuff.

@doragasu done! 😂

I guess I can disable it and run a DHCP server on the rPi 🤷
