US homelessness up 18% as affordable housing remains out of reach for many people


Federal officials say the United States saw an 18.1% increase in homelessness, a dramatic rise driven mostly by a lack of affordable housing as well as devastating natural disasters and a surge of migrants in several parts of the country.


How does selfhosting work in China?

I know a lot of my favorite FOSS is from Chinese coders. Wonder how they host and connect locally?



Experience with Yunohost


I was wondering about the pros and cons about self hosting your services via Yunohost. I currently have all my services hosted in docker containers on a Debian homeserver. As I was planning on a fresh install, setting up an Ansible script to simplify backup & restoring and bake in a centralized user management system (currently I annoyingly have separate passwords for each service for my 5 users).

Now I was wondering if I could get some experience reports from Yunohost users. What are the problems you faced? Are you satisfied? Are there so many services you couldn't find that you rather went the selfhosted way and integrate Authelia or a similar service? Any ideas and feedback is welcome that can help make up my mind.

Jag och GG 840 Svanen. En bild från 1958 som visar mig själv på bryggan med GG 840 Svanen bakom mig. Och en bild tagen igår där jag står på samma plats framför GG 840 Svanen. Fast det är en ny brygga av betong som byggdes nån gång på 1960-talet istället för den gamla av trä.

Tre göteborgskvinnor skjutna på två dagar år 1980. I maj 1980 mördades tre kvinnor från Göteborg utomlands. Två kvinnor mördades i Belgien den 8 maj och en kvinna i Århus den 9 maj. Morden verkar vara olösta och det är mycket oklart varför de mördades

La statua a forma di arachide in onore di Jimmy Carter


La "Jimmy Carter Peanut Statue" è un monumento situato a Plains, Georgia, Stati Uniti città natale proprio dell'ex presidente Jimmy Carter.
Costruita nel 1976, l'attrazione stradale raffigura una arachide con un grande sorriso, ed è stato costruita per sostenere Jimmy Carter durante le elezioni presidenziali degli Stati Uniti del 1976.
La statua alta 4 metri, fa riferimento alla precedente carriera di Carter come coltivatore di arachidi.

Aha! Drug resistant bacteria are weak against bullets! All we have to do is shoot each cell with this 22 rifle and you'll be cured!


Shout out to Linux/FOSS maintainers


Many thanks to all those that maintain FOSS. i had setup a pi4 running 32 bit Debian Buster years ago (pandemic days) with OpenMediaVault 5. With the OMV docker and portainer plugin I had various dockers running, but found some dockerhub images weren't supporting 32bit. I had thought ubout updating to 64 bit install but thought I might have headaches, so just blocked the pi from accessing the internet and sidelined the update. Since it is the holidays I figured I would tackle an update.

Scope:
- update to 64 bit
- move from Buster to Bullseye
- move from OMV5 to OMV6
- fix everything that failed including docker.

Step 1 add "arm_64bit=1" in the config.txt file of /boot and reboot. Took a while to boot with lots of drive activity but 64 kernel worked perfectly.

Step 2: run sudo omv-release-upgrade

That is it. Two commands and everything updated perfectly. Nothing to fix.

To me that is an amazing testement to the work put in by everyone for Linux kernel, the OS, OMV devs and applications maintainers. Amazing.



Configuring Transmission and OpenVPN on Linux


This seems like something that would be simple, but I spent a long time trying to figure it out. I figured I'd write a blog post about it in case anyone else has a similar desire.
in reply to sonus

On BSD you use FIBs to declare process specific routing tables, on Linux you use firewall marks to do the same, then just route all trafik through the vpn uplink and deny any other.

What are the pros and cons of that approach vs the one laid out in the blog post?


Tips for getting better at Linux.


I am a Linux beginner/amateur and I have sort of had enough of copy and pasting commands I find on the internet without having a good understanding of how they actually work.

I guess my end goal is to be able to comfortably install and use arch Linux with my own customization's and be able to fix it when things go wrong.

What tips/ideas do you have for getting better at navigating the terminal, and getting a better understanding of how the os works. What is a good roadmap to follow? And how did you, advanced Linux user, get to the stage your at now?
