  • LinusTechTips, might do a cool video with Linus Torvalds (starts at 1:55)

    Jump

  • Good opportunity for learning. I'm sure Linus will not sugarcoat anything and give it straight to the other Linus.

    I'm looking forward to watching it.

  • What I host myself

  • It says jeena.net is up but I get a 504.

    After a minute, it works again.

    Do you have like an on demand server that spins up the containers when a request comes in?

  • Blue Protocol: Star Resonance to be playable on Steam Deck but probably not Desktop Linux

  • If somebody is looking for an MMO that runs well in Proton I recommend GW2

    I recently got back into it and it is still actively developed, has fair monetization and is still awesome.

    PS: Warframe and PoE (1 and 2) are also great, but arguably not really an MMO

  • Former Linux user looking for stable distro

    Jump

  • Any of the ~15 most used distros is stable when you learn how to not fuck it up.

    As an anecdote:

    my Ubuntu and Debian installs used to break twice a year on dist upgrade back then (started with Linux when Ubuntu 12 came out, got it in a magazine). It would cost me a weekend of trying to fix it before giving up and reinstalling the whole dammn thing and re-doing my setup from scratch ...

    Then I switched and my arch install has been the same for the past ~10 years with only minor fixes maybe once a year. It outlived the hardware it was on twice.

    But every time people keep saying Debian and Ubuntu are stable and Arch is unstable 🤷‍♂️

  • the dismissive ‘it’s just A.I.’ comment does get under my skin

    It wasn't my intention to get under your skin or to appear to be dismissive about your article, sorry. I admit the AI part was a bit harsh.

    The wording itself never felt like AI. I've read the whole thing. At one point I thought the article started over because the content of a paragraph was extremely similar. Later there was a part of the summary, with another paragraph of the same. That reminded me of why I dislike AI responses. It does the same thing, but it is programmed to do so because thats what some people need to absorb the info.

    Personally I prefer articles and videos with a very high information density. Thats all. You don't have to change anything if you feel like this is not what you're going for.

    Cheers.

  • The article repeats itself over and over, reiterating the same statements, so it feels like an AI wrote it.

    The project itself is VERY cool! I instantly want to spend all my money to buy a 100 sdcards and set it all up.

  • Places without a property tax:

    Lichtenstein, Monaco, Cook Islands, British Virgin Islands, Cayman Islands.

    If you want specifically "free land":

    Not a lot of people want to live there.

    You can go to the bumfuck north in russia and nobody will come check whether you've built a house in the woods or not. In general, extremely rural places with weak law enforcement will work, albeit being technically illegal.

    There are tribal lands in africa (and probably other tribal areas in latin america) that will accept you and you can build your own hut in their village. There are a couple of historic records of people doing that, even in modern times.

  • You’re still paying rent (though up-front instead of monthly or quarterly

    thats like saying buying a house is paying a lifetime of rent upfront. It's true in some sense, but a pretty weird thing to claim.

  • I know all that and none of it contradicts what I said.

    You remember when you could get a "free" phone with a subscription to a telecommunication service? It's kind of like that. The phone is not really free. It is marketing bs. The price (and profit) is payed by you through the subscription.

  • I guess you could go full mr robot and install a rpi in the wall where there is free wifi and hope maintenance never finds it. But that would be super illegal.

  • Of course you have to pay

    and that is my point.

    At the beginning there was the metaphor of being a landlord. Depending on your location in the world, you can buy land, pay nothing monthly and own and use it for ever.

    There is basically no way to do that with a server. But while yall were being obtuse about my point that one needs to "pay rent" for an internet connection. I actually found something interesting that might be a way:

    SIMO Solis Lite Mobile WLAN Router - 100$ one time purchase price. And they claim:

    Includes 1GB of free global data volume per month, for the lifetime of the device

    Of course that only works as long as the company exists and is profitable or whatever they mean by "lifetime of the device" - they could literally build in a fuse that pops after 5 years.

  • I've never heard of an ISP that gives IPs for 0$. You get one through a subscribtion, so it is a rent, included with the rest of the service.

    Jump

  • dynamic IP would be the default option included

    Included in what? In a 0$ per month plan or in a x$ (x > 0) per month plan? If the plan is paid, you pay for what is included.

    Jump

  • By "renting an IP" I mean paying a monthly subscription so that your internet service provider gives your home (which has your server) an IP so it is accessible through the intetnet.

    It doesn't matter whether that IP is static or dynamic, as you said there are free dynamic dns services.

  • A VPS has an IP and electricity included in the renting price, which is pretty good for starting small tbh. You can do surprisingly much with a 2$/month VPS.

    Besides the huge upfront cost, your own server would cost you in your own time maintaining it, electricity, replacing broken hardware and a subscription to the internet.

    But generally I agree with you, the term landlord is completely unfitting for this setup.

    On a related note:

    Is there any way to not rent anything at all?

    I have my own physical server, renting a domain is optional, but renting an IP is mandatory afaik, or are there some ways (legal ones, availabe to a normal person at a reasonable price) to get the server on the internet for free or by paying only once?
