Can I use the same domain for hosting a fediverse instance and also for custom domain for email?
I'm looking to add a custom domain to my email to start building a more permanent identity on the internet (I have been shifting providers since I started degoogling).
I also want to either host a WordPress site or a fediverse instance (haven't decided) like Hubzilla for things like my writings and a general place to find my stuff online and maybe even host a few friends' pages.
Can I buy one domain and use it for both?
Great! As a follow up question, for example I want to let a friend use my hubzilla server to host their hub. Can I "allow" them to bring their own domain name and let them use it?
Edit to add one more question: Is there a restriction on what top level domain can be used for what purpose (fedi, email, website) or anything goes?
It's plenty possible. An address can be broken down like this.
Protocol (https://) subdomain (lemmy.) domain (socdojo) top-level-domain/TLD (com) path (/some/file/name/here)
lemmy.socdojo.com/some/file/na…
You will typically register a domain name at whatever TLD you like (historically they where meant to be .com for commerce, .gov for government, etc but that's only really enforced for certain types like gov or org) and then you create subdomain from that to point to whatever services you put on the domain.
So you can have whatever you want on the same domain. There are some considerations where you might not want them attached, domain categorization services get a bit imprecise a lot of times and you might get caught up in some security filtering as a result.
Email specifically is a whole new dragon to tame, with things like spam and IP reputation lists, dmarc, dkim, SPF records and a bunch of other things. So be aware that it's probably one of the hardest services to do entirely on your own.
Yes. Email uses different DNS records than websites, so you can use your second level domain for both.
When you set it up, you’ll create MX records that point to your mail server(s), and A records that point to your web server(s).
Microsoft gives up on users experiencing problems updating their Windows 11 machines. Now recommends a "manual correction"
Windows 11-24H2 installations with certain update statuses can no longer install further updates. Only a manual correction will help.
Last Christmas, a problem with Windows 11 24H2 installations became known that they cannot install further updates if they were installed from an installation medium with certain update statuses. Microsoft has now given up looking for an automated solution to this problem or developing a fix-it tool – The only option available to those affected is manual correction.
Microsoft has confirmed this decision by setting the entry in the Windows Release Health announcements to "resolved". Specifically, the problem description is that a Windows 11 installation on version 24H2, which was installed from a CD (sic) or USB drive with integrated October or November updates from 2024, can no longer install any further security updates. This also includes media created with the Windows Media Creation Tool at those times. However, installations that have downloaded the updates via Windows Update and applied them do not have this problem.
Windows update dropouts: only manual solution available
The entry on the problem from Microsoft has had the status "resolved" since the end of last week. However, it still only contains the previous workaround as a solution: The problem can be solved by overinstalling with an installation medium that contains at least the security updates from December 2024 – i.e. was created from December 10, 2024 –. Microsoft does not mention a fix-it tool, script or other options, such as registry changes.
Such an updated medium can be created with the Windows Media Creation Tool, which is available on Microsoft's Windows 11 download website. This either downloads an ISO file that can be transferred to DVD or creates a bootable USB stick with the Windows installation; this should have at least 8 GB of space.

Sure, but I don't see how any of that disproves the current "M$ supremacy" for "normies" - the fact is that people who couldn't care less about how their computers work will have a much easier time using Windows (and probably macOS) than any Linux distro. You don't have to worry that some software won't be available to you because of your choice of the OS, and if you ever have a problem it's easy to find help.
I haven't used Windows in a decade on my personal computers, but as long as these two things hold true, it will always be my recommended OS for people who simply don't care - I'm not going to spend my time doing free IT support for everyone I know and then get blamed everytime something doesn't work.
Ahh got it thx
Someone who gives up without even googling will def have that problem. But I for myself see the intervals in which my machine breaks increase a lot (and it's not only because of more experience) and especially immutables could decrease the risk to break Linux to a point where it is close to zero (with the nice side effect that it is easier to maintain for both the pc admin and the distro manufacturer).
Also: My experience (and that may differ a lot from the normie perspective) is that as soon as you are able to check forums for help with software at least the beginner friendly/popular distros are less painful to fix when your Windows pc got screwed. And the overall tone in Linux forums has softened a lot compared to when I first briefly tried a distro in 2016 (I returned in 2020 during the pandemic because I had the time and proton had been announced).
24h2 has tried to force install on my machine I work with 4 times now. It wastes an hour or so each attempt, then crashes and automatically rolls back.
This machine otherwise is up to date and has no other issues.
The failed attempts have forced me to plan on the machine being unusable for the first chunk of my morning, and on each attempt performance bogs down while it does the pre-game crap.
I'm not wanting to disable security updates... I want to disable the forced "feature" update.
Alas, I'm the sysadmin. It's not domain joined.
Microsoft is forcing it, but many configurations are delayed due to the critical issues they've been hitting.

Dave Van Zandt is a registered Non-Affiliated voter who values evidence-based reporting. Since High School (a long time ago), Dave has been interested in politics and noticed as a kid the same newspaper report in two different papers was very different in their tone. This curiosity led him to pursue a Communications Degree in college; however, like most 20-year-olds, he didn’t know what he wanted and changed to a Physiology major midstream. Dave has worked in the healthcare industry (Occupational Rehabilitation) since graduating from college but never lost the desire to learn more about bias and its impacts.The combination of being fascinated by politics, a keen eye to spot bias before he even knew what it was called, and an education/career in science gave Dave the tools required for understanding Media Bias and its implications. This led to a 20-year journey where Dave would read anything and everything he could find on media bias and linguistics. He also employed the scientific method to develop a methodology to support his assessments.
After years of people telling him to launch a website, in late 2015, Mediabiasfactcheck.com was born from a combination of many different experiences and exhaustive research. For the last 9 years, Dave and his team have refined their methods and improved their reviews to the point where the website receives consistently high traffic levels and is considered a top authority in rating media bias and credibility.
You are trusting the opinions of a physical therapist who identifies as a "Non-Affiliated" voter, I'm not saying you have to like PressTV, it is perfectly valid to not trust their reporting if you have reasons not to, but I think you can determine whether you trust it on your own, instead of relying on this "Non-Affiliated" loser to inform your opinions.

Anybody here use Asahi Linux?
What do you like about it?
What do you not like about it?
Is it a completely bonkers proposition to buy a refurbished M2 Mac only to wipe it and put Asahi on it?
My Lenovo Thinkpad just broke… again.
Daym, I though those things are tanks. Which model?
unfortunately not all thinkpads are made the same. it seems that, for a while now, lenovo takes a bunch of cheaper laptops and slaps the thinkpad label on them
i personally had a better experience with dell's latitude line, but ymmv
I think people in the Linux community have a predisposition to call Apple products "low quality", but as someone with an M2 Pro MacBook and a Framework 16, the Framework feels like cheap, mushy garbage in comparison. The Framework is still really cool for other reasons, but build quality is not one of them.
The speakers on MacBooks are actually really good (the Framework speakers sound like absolute shit), and the OLED screen + keyboard & trackpad can't be beat. I would run Asahi on it if it supported more than 60Hz on the built-in display and the mic worked. If those two things don't matter to you, you might really enjoy Asahi on a Mac.
Before I bought that mbp m2pro with 16g of ram (discounted because of M3 being all the rage at the time), I did my homework and compared: nothing framework / thinkpad comes close in price with that processing power, battery life and screen
I don't especially like them, I certainly despise the company, it's branding and ethos, but these are competitively priced actually
We're a bit further than that I'd say : asahilinux.org/fedora/#device-… yes battery life not as good, sleep eats through battery a bit much and stuff, but as hardware (and everyday life) goes, it's running pretty well: if you get all outputs, WiFi, BT, keyboard backlighting, sleep and resume, excellent sound output (thanks adahi-audio and its crazy good DSP's), correct screen def with scaling, what exactly are you missing?
Even my cheapo rj45-to-usbc adapter works.
Some months ago I was missing a particular piece of CAD software, but that just popped up a few weeks ago (QCad).
As hardware goes, beside not being able to rely much on sleep, everything else works (for me).
Well allow me to retort:
"Works" is not the same as "works well". As you mentioned, the bare minimum of it working has been achieved...kudos I guess.
The hardware is proprietary, and without someone devoting a LOT of time to reverse engineering the drivers to a point of, let's say, 90% functionality, there is literally no point except to say "I can run a Linux kernel on this thing".
The point of even having the hardware to begin with is the battery lifetime with the power draw from the SoC. As you noted, you don't get that benefit from Asahi. Not the full GPU power, or the audio hardware, or the networking, USB-C, external displays, Thunderbolt, or the onboard security features, or the network offloading...I can go on.
Why would anyone buy a machine that is designed to run a specific OS, just to run a different OS on it and lose all the benefits of running that hardware in the first place? Bragging rights?
It's a stupid purchase if you just want a good Linux machine. Framework is a much better buy.
Asahi doesn't wipe macos by default (you can do it but it is an extra step) ; the Asahi install splits your system in two, and you can choose how much space to allocate to each.
As an everyday distro, it's pretty much stock fedora with possibly a few missing niche software - think Bitwig if you're into that, you will have Ardour / Pipewire etc but not (yet) Bitwig, which is proprietary and would need them to compile for aarm64. But the amount of stuff available is astounding, and getting better by the day.
Then it depends on your use case. For "general computing" it absolutely works, for more specialised stuff you should check beforehand. I use it as a DAW mostly, with the occasional Kdenlive bout of editing now and then. Oh, and Steam ! We have gaming now it works great. The install process is so smooth, trying it out is a 30 minute affair, tops.
I'd ask the question of why a mac tho : I can't do without because of one macos soft I need IRL (QLab), and the very existence of Asahi allowed me to overcome my repulsion for apple products and buy the thing, heavily discounted. I'm 90% on the Asahi side, only rebooting on macos for live performances.
They are competitively priced for what they are, but I don't trust them to be particularly solid nowadays. I hate the keyboard and the coldness/finish of the case, and find mine weighty. Also real-life use make them feel like a snappy i7, not some crazy fast supercomputer.
So if you don't need a mac, it is not a straightforward proposition unless the price is right in regard to other available stuff. I complement mine with a Thinkpad BTW. I buy them secondhand super cheap, they last 3 or 4 years then I buy another.
Best value ATM is a good specced Air model I believe (Weight, silence, battery life / but quite no outputs, especially no external screen through USB). People in the know says to avoid 8gb ram models, go for 16.
It's good, a lot of good work going on, what they already have is impressive and the development seems pretty active and progressing well.
But if you're buying a laptop to run Linux and don't plan to use macOS, I really think there are a lot of better options out there (depending on what's important to you). You're going to pay the Apple premium price for a computer, and though apple computers are good hardware, they're expensive and largely overpriced for small upgrades. Whatever price you find for a refurbished M2, take that money and go find a laptop known to be well supported on Linux, it'll just be a better experience and you'll probably get more for your money.
I haven't run Asahi in 6+ months but thunderbolt/usb4 wasn't working when I last used it so I couldn't use my usb dock. Video was OK but I think Audio was sketchy (don't remember specifics). It's stuff that will get fixed at some point but right now it feels like a handful of minor annoyances or inconveniences
Even in 1-2 years when Asahi gets some updates and is in a better spot (I really do expect it to be) I still don't think I'd lean towards a macbook with Asahi over something else if Linux is the only OS you're going to run. Of course, if you're looking to dabble with some iOS development or something else you need a mac for, but don't want to live in MacOS, then Asahi's a great option to get you back to Linux.
Whatever price you find for a refurbished M2, take that money and go find a laptop known to be well supported on Linux, it'll just be a better experience and you'll probably get more for your money.
not an apple user, but apple is well known for their build quality. what other laptop manufacturer is on par with apple's build quality?
Apple computers ARE really well put together, maybe no other maker exactly as good. But I’d say the Microsoft Surface line is a similar quality. Razer too though they’re pretty expensive.
Asus zephyrus laptops are pretty great build quality, close to Apple but without the same kind of pricing and markup gouging we get from Apple
Im not an apple hater, they make some great stuff. My point above was just that they don’t have competition in the “I need a Mac” space so their hardware isn’t competitively priced. And their build quality is great, but not every laptop needs to be built like a tank with top of the line components.
Apple hardware is good, but not priced at the same quality to price ratio because there's no competition. You can get other brands with higher quality at the same price point that better supported by Linux.
I think that was the point there. Not that Apple has bad hardware, but lack of competition and the premium for the product family mean you can get higher specs per dollar with many other manufacturers and you can find hardware that won't require "jailbreaking" or other workarounds or missing drivers to get it working with Linux.
I actually switched back to Asahi on my M1 Macbook Air this weekend, and while it works well enough for me to stick to it for now, I would definitely not buy Apple Silicon hardware for Linux next time. I'm running Fedora Asahi Remix on Gnome with Wayland for reference. Fingerprint sensor isn't working, microphone is "WIP" according to the feature table, etc. Battery life is significantly worse, especially standby, so if you use it for traveling a lot it's not that great. I might boot back into MacOS if I bring it with me on vacation honestly. It is also not nearly as "smooth". Scrolling stutters etc. Nothing that actually impacts the speed of what you do though. This is probably not an issue for most I would think, but for the Norwegian keyboard I had to manually edit the config to get access to the apostrophe: '. In general, it is a bit annoying that it has
a different keyboard layout than every other computer I use.
There can be some compatibility issues, Discord isn't or at least wasn't running on Linux Arm, but there are 3rd party clients that do. Games are probably also not great, although I can't say I have tested after the Vulkan update. Last time I went back to MacOS so I could play Balatro on vacation. Other than that I don't really use that many apps on my laptop, and haven't missed any.
Then there is a Gnome specific quirk: touchpad scrolling is way too fast, and it isn't configurable in the settings. There are some "hacky" workarounds around, but they seem to be outdated and failed on me. For now I have just adjusted the scroll speed in my browser to like 20% of the default and it seems to work okay. You do kinda get used to it I guess. You can adjust scroll speed in KDE just fine, so if you prefer KDE that isn't an issue.
but the work hasn’t began for it yet.
This is completely untrue. The work has not only begun but the microphone driver is now working in development. Before it can be enabled they need to tweak various userland parameters and configurations that are different between each mac model.
Lol, this is a new perspective for me. I don’t dislike macOS, but would like to have Linux 100x more. Customizable and no vendor lock in. Although higher battery usage, probably.
I love the MacBook for its build quality, the touchpad and the screen. But macOS, it’s just there. I don’t mind it, as it’s rather open and UNIX based, but I’d rather have Linux.
What do you specifically like about macOS in comparison to Linux?
And sorry if I sound rude, I think I do, but I mean I’m curious and have a strong opinion.
What do you specifically like about macOS in comparison to Linux?
I mean mostly that it works and is easy and intuitive, and has a single dedicated version of every piece of software that's made.
I like Linux as an alternative to Windows but it's a nightmare to figure out how to use.
You've heard it several times, now, but once again: Asahi works really well for what it is, but it's definitely a compromised experience. For example, on my M1 Macbook Air I cannot plug in a USB-C dongle and then plug in an external monitor. The driver support just isn't there. I think if I had an Macbook Pro with a built-in HDMI port I would be able to use that... but alas, I do not.
If you want to use macOS and then use Linux on the side now and again in a dual boot setup, sure. If you want to use 100% Linux on your computer... there are better supported options.
Here is a table of supported features but it isn't really the full picture, because it doesn't give you a clear view of things like putting the computer on standby consumes more idle power than it does with macOS, or drivers for hardware video decoding don't exist, so all video is software decoded. The processors can do it really well, actually, but obviously it's more power-efficient when it's done by dedicated hardware.
He didn't step down from Asahi, just from the Linux kernel maintainers. Another person took over the Linux kernel Maintainer role for Asahi. It gives Hector one thing less to worry about.
EDIT: As of Feb 13th he has resigned from Asahi. No mention of his alter ego Asahi Lina, she's still listed as a member? As Hector is an incredibly talented and productive individual it'll be a big blow to the project.
If you made the mistake of buying an M-series Mac before migrating to Linux, Asahi is a great way to continue using that machine if you're fine with no external displays. Since I only ever use my M1 air on the go, it doesn't bother me.
However, you cannot wipe the existing MacOS install nor stub partitions as they're needed for firmware updates and booting non-mac operating systems. I think I managed to squeeze my macos partition down to something like 40gb, which is a ton of unusable space on my 128GB laptop.
If you're in the market for a new machine, there are better options in terms of affordability and usability, even if you're specifically looking for an ARM device
If you’re in the market for a new machine, there are better options in terms of affordability and usability, even if you’re specifically looking for an ARM device
Are you thinking of Snapdragon X1 Elite/Pro laptops? I use one of those (Lenovo Yoga Slim 7x) and while it's really neat, they're also lacking a lot of peripheral support and drivers at the moment.
I mostly see Asahi Linux as a way to keep these M Macs in use once they’re too old to get official updates and once they become really cheap on the used market.
If on top of this Apple is forced to bring back some repairability/upgradeability, it would be great.
Buying an used computer is the only thing environnementaly friendlier than buying something from a brand like Framework.

- The US has its navy on every major trade route
- Europe's biggest members are all still aligned with Israel.
Basically Any nation attempting to jettison Israel would be devastated in multiple fashions, so none of them wants to start a large-scale fight.

For anyone interested, it's referencing the Lenin quote relevant to this thread:
People always have been the foolish victims of deception and self-deception in politics, and they always will be until they have learnt to seek out the interests of some class or other behind all moral, religious, political and social phrases, declarations and promises. Champions of reforms and improvements will always be fooled by the defenders of the old order until they realise that every old institution, how ever barbarous and rotten it may appear to be, is kept going by the forces of certain ruling classes. And there is only one way of smashing the resistance of those classes, and that is to find, in the very society which surrounds us, the forces which can—and, owing to their social position, must—constitute the power capable of sweeping away the old and creating the new, and to enlighten and organise those forces for the struggle.
Not quite what I mean. The way that control is orchestrated between the whole apparatus for the moves of the machine to function synchronously (media support of wars, wars happening in a way that benefits the largest companies, etc.).
For example, the way that even CNN seems to just be reading from a script re: manufacturing consent for the Palestinian genocide. It's beyond something like "they'll lose their White House press credentials if they don't play nice".
