Thanks for those links! I'll read through the Meta page on the Gentoo wiki and see how far that gets me. I also realized after writing the first comment that many of the projects I was curious about were freedesktop projects. Feel like I basically "get" what the kernel is responsible for, but modern Linux desktops aren't just the kernel and rely on a suite of programs running in userspace which I'm not too familiar with. Maybe it's a good time to install Arch again, that'll be one way to learn by doing.
Is there a good YouTube channel or something which explains Linux internals? There's lots of content on like how bash commands work, how to install packages in various package managers, etc. But I'd love a channel which dives into things like pipewire, dbus, init systems, what is an initrd, etc.
could be some DNS caching involved
I think it would be least friction to just keep the name and change the TLD.
But if not:
- hex.beer
- hexbear.gop
- read.marxs.capital (marxs.capital is available for $109 lol)
- lib.museum
ah that makes sense! I didn't realize it was some shared IP/tunnel situation
Admins can correct me (edit: I stand corrected, see below), I think this should at least kinda work as a temporary bookmark replacement, since it will redirect you to the current legit hexbear domain. Currently, if you go to http://37.187.73.130/ in your browser, it will HTTP redirect to https://chapo.chat/. But emojis and probably some other things won't work since they're hardcoded to download from hexbear.net.
But long term, bookmarking a static IP address isn't as safe as using the domain name, because a) there's no verification that the machine serving you 37.187.73.130 is the one who can prove it owns hexbear.net (or chapo.chat), leaving you open to a variety of attacks, b) the hexbear IP doesn't have to stay static. The safest way is to navigate to the domain name and use HTTPS so that your browser checks that the server giving you the page also can prove it's the server that owns the name.
Nice thanks, also should probably remove the liberapay link from the <3 logo in the site header
About the donations, should people stop contributing to the liberapay/hexbear account?
It's also a standing pic lol
I was trying to buy an ebike the other day, and the salesman kept trying to sell me a German one "because it's not like those Chinese ones which are unreliable and you can't find parts". Like dude the German bike has to stand on its own, you shouldn't need racism to sell me a bike.
