Making the computer *yours* Anonymous 01/12/2024 (Fri) 04:54:10 No. 359 [Reply]

People tend towards ricing their desktops, but this is really just visual stuff. What kind of touches do you have to make the computer an extension of yourself rather than collections of other peoples software? I personally set the login PAM auth settings to have rootok as sufficient. getty logins run from uid 1 so you don't have to put in a password. Unprivileged users (including ssh) can't login without the rest of the authentication modules. Having a file that gets printed whenever a shell starts as a motd is pretty useful too.

I like making aliases in my bashrc that replace fancy technical commands with nice layman commands. On Debian, I replaced "doas" with "pls", and "doas apt-get" with "please". If I want to install cmatrix, I just tell my computer "please install cmatrix" and it installs it. I'm thinking of making my own automated package installer for Slackware that's just going to be nothing but this kind of syntax.

It is cruel irony that I find vim the most comfy terminal based text editor. No other compares to it. But is so fucking complex and overloaded with features, that every time I need to correct my workflow it's major pain the ass.

Can you get a free Linux VPS with full admin access? Anonymous 06/25/2025 (Wed) 01:11:37 No. 1496 [Reply]

I'm looking for a free VPS with Debian 12 Linux full admin to set up an imageboard, but I don't think there is one. I'm tired of searching, so I'd better turn to this imageboard to see what you can recommend.

https://terminator.aeza.net/en/ alright i don't want to be a dick nya

i don't really think you can do this, other than the numerous "free" cloud tiers that will ask you for your card then turn up a bill for your bandwidth. there are things like tilde.club (can't remember others) but besides always being available on a community/as-is/if-i'm-jiving-with-it basis they are also, uh, all non-root. honestly, if you waltz around lowendbox/lowendtalk for a suitable KVM, reading carefully, and spend A DOLLAR per month for actual service from a small-to-medium provider you could walk away with something pretty nice. alternatively, https://www.nearlyfreespeech.net/services/hosting, or tunnel through cf from your home machine shades

On my place of employment's computers, without authorization I continue to download the Snowflake extension. This extension was designed by the Tor Project, and it creates a WebRTC proxy in your web browser to serve as a bridge for users where Tor is heavily blocked. The best part is to install the extension, most of the time you don't even need admin privileges and you can configure it to run even when the browser is closed with the click of a button. Am I a good or bad person for doing this? https://snowflake.torproject.org/

To do this on Android, install Orbot and enable "Kindness Mode". With the recent flareups in the Middle East, there's been a massive wave of blocking Tor in the effected countries, please help if you can!

Is buying old Thinkpads, Librebooting them and then reselling them a real business strategy? I remember people used to do this a few years ago when Thinkpad nostalgia was at its peak (2021 I think) but I didn't think people still did it. I always thought the type of person who would want a Librebooted Thinkpad would also be the type of person who would want to do it themselves, let alone the concern that the person "Librebooting" it also isn't putting spyware on your machine (See: Anom)
