I want to make Debian work, please help in c/debian@lemmy.ml
[–] absurdity_of_it_all@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 weeks ago

Some stuff that works great with Lutris or Heroic on Fedora, just wouldn't even start up on Debian. I tried a couple of things but nothing worked. I thought it might be a new parts issue stable is 2 years old at this point.

I'm going to see if I can first try kernel+mesa backports (after trying the games again just on stable). If that doesn't work I might give testing a go.

I want to know what kind of setup would avoid issues with games. I know I can run Debian with KDE from the installer. I had issues with games on plain stable so I wanted to know what can be done

I will try that, thank you. Are those just two packages I need to get from backports or are there dependencies and stuff that will come up?

I want to make Debian work, please help (lemmy.ml)
 

I've been using Fedora for the past few months and Pop OS for some months before that.

Debian was my first choice after Pop because of ideological reasons - non corporate structure mainly. But I couldn't get games to work properly (my PC is only 7-8 months old). So I've been trying Fedora, but the more I learn about Red Hat and it's involvement, it's harder to stick to the distro.

What would be a good way to setup Debian (and KDE, because apparently GNOME is also Red Hat's, although I do like the environment) so that it works well for my use case? The two year old DE and app versions does bother me but I guess I can learn to live with it. Do I try testing? Do I use backports?

Can I move my nextcloud account from a provider to my own server? in c/selfhosting@slrpnk.net

Makes sense. Thank you!

Okay, yeah that sounds a little tedious. I'll think a bit more

I'm not sure if I understand the last bit.

Can I move my nextcloud account from a provider to my own server? (lemmy.ml)
 

I currently have an email provider who also gives me my own nextcloud account. If I were to setup my own server in a while (which I would like to do), will I be able to carry over all my things (contacts, calendar,Talk conversations, appointment pages, etc) in some easy manner?

I've not yet started using these things because I'm not sure if it will be too much work to shift later.

What are the recommended server specs for different Fediverse software? (Especially Hubzilla) in c/selfhosting@slrpnk.net

That's great, thank you

Thank you! That's pretty reassuring.

Thank you so much for the detailed response! I might be able to stretch out to 4GB RAM on the Pi

I've been finding it a bit difficult to understand the hardware part of things. For example, the hubzilla FAQ you shared says 512M and not MB. Does that not refer to RAM?

And I've also not been able to find any guides about the "levels" in hardware. If not the Pi, then what? How do I decide? How do I explore?

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.ml/post/26074446

I'm trying to see if I can host my own Fediverse instance for friends and family and I want to know what kind of device would be required. I'm an absolute beginner to self-hosting so I was wondering if I can start cheap (Raspberry Pi 2GB RAM is something I can definitely consider).

Also, can one device host multiple software? Like if I wanted both a WordPress instance and a Hubzilla instance or a Matrix/XMPP instance

Will there be any issues with a .place domain for email? in c/privacy@lemmy.ml
[–] absurdity_of_it_all@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Thank you. That does sound annoying but .com is both boring and more expensive.

Ohh, I maybe should clarify. I don't intend to use my own server. I have a provider - disroot.

I'm considering getting a domain with a .place TLD. Will it cause any issues like emails being blocked or something? I searched and it doesn't seem particularly notorious for spam or anything, but I wanted to find out if there are people who can tell me from experience.

Edit: This is not for running my own server - I have a provider, Disroot.

Can I use the same domain for hosting a fediverse instance and also for custom domain for email? in c/fediverse@lemmy.ml
[–] absurdity_of_it_all@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Thank you! Also, if I want different domains for different Hubzilla accounts within the same server, would that be possible? Like the server itself is a.hub, but an account in the hub wants to use b. space as it's domain, like username@b.space, would I be able to allow that?

Can I use the same domain for hosting a fediverse instance and also for custom domain for email? (lemmy.ml)
 

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?

Is there a "macroblogging" platform on the Fediverse? (lemmy.ml)
 

There seems to be a lot of microblogging going around, but I want a place to put my writings that are much bigger. I know that having my own website is also an option, but I'm finding filtering ethical hosting providers and website builders to be a lot more difficult than I thought it would be, and I'm afraid that even if I find them, it's going to be too expensive.

Any disroot email users? How is the service? (lemmy.ml)
 

I'm only on a free Proton plan but I'm still considering switching because of recent news. I've seen disroot's website before and they seem more politically left-leaning which I appreciate. How have people's experiences been?

Windows VM without a Microsoft Account (lemmy.ml)
 

I need to use a Windows VM to do a few things - I'm on Fedora and my Xbox controller has been glitching out a lot and I need to try updating the firmware. Also, I got a new RGB keyboard and I'm not able to use the proprietary software using Wine and OpenRGB does not support my keyboard (Cosmic Byte GK34 Firefly).

But when I try to install a Win 10 ISO it won't let me past the Microsoft account page and the oobe command that's suggested everywhere on reddit is not working. It says no such command found.

Windows 11 ISOs also aren't working because even if I put 6GB memory and 80GB Storage for the VM (Microsoft lists 4GB and 64GB as requirement) it still says system does not meet requirement. I'm using the Boxes app for the VM creation.
