I accidentally had my forgejo instance open for registration. When I noticed it, there were tons of fake accounts open, with empty repos opened for each account. All of them had emails associated with them. They might've just been trying to annoy me, or maybe there was some plan to be executed later, since they'd have access to basically free storage, without any tracking.

In any case, I have cleaned all of it, and now have a list of 19311 usernames and emails. Maybe I can submit these somewhere for a spam filter? Idk, just curious if there's any point in keeping this list.

Here's the list.

I think the gap stems from need. Most people only learn what they absolutely need to. My sister and I are just 3 years apart in age. Yet I am pretty familiar with tech, while she knows next to nothing. I was always there to fix whatever broke. Even now she knows that if she needs to watch something, she can just ask me to add it to my Jellyfin server. I often have to remote into her system to fix stuff.

The Gen Z we're talking about here mostly grew up using phones, and phone OSes do their best to hide any complexity away from the user. So they never learnt anything. I'm also technically Gen Z (very early), but growing up in rural India, I had to teach myself how to pirate since streaming wasn't a thing yet (our internet was too slow for that anyway), and the local theater didn't play anything except local mainstream cinema.

Come on, it was right in their name. CrowdStrike. They were threatening us all this time.

Idk, installing Linux was pretty easy 10 years ago too. Can't comment about anything earlier than that though.

Need suggestions for VPS (self.selfhosted)
submitted 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) by SexualPolytope to c/selfhosted@lemmy.world

I want to get a new VPS. It'll mostly be used to host lightweight Docker images, and reverse proxying through Caddy. So, decent CPU and fast network speeds are the main things I need.

I have a cheap VPS with RackNerd. It's fine, but only has a single CPU core, which gets overwhelmed if multiple connections are trying to pull stuff from some service. So, I guess having multiple cores is a requirement as well.

I want to spend around $5/month, but willing to go a little higher if it's worth it. Any suggestions are appreciated.

P.S. I'm based in US and would prefer something in here for lower latency.

Update: Hetzner's CX22 IPV6 only plan seems to be very good in terms of price-performance ratio. But the servers are in Europe. I'm planning to try it out for a while and see how the latency is. It's great that they don't lock you in with yearly plans.

I currently run a personal wiki for some notes, recipes, and stuff. It's set up using Wiki.js as the server. I'm the only regular user, and I feel like it's a bit of an overkill.

Does someone have any suggestions for a more lightweight wiki server? I tried DokuWiki and mostly like it. But the UI is very old and dare I say, ugly. I love the UI of Wiki.js btw.

My main criteria is that it should be lightweight. I don't need fancy editing features. Happy to work with raw html or markdown files.

I need some kind of permission management to hide some private wikis from the public, but otherwise I don't really care.

Yep. They start from a position that most of us can't even dream of achieving.

Most of us don't even realize what being truly wealthy is like. I come from an affluent family. I never had to worry about necessities, had a decent education at the high school level to secure scholarships at good universities. But there are people who don't need to care about anything at all. They can just get any degree with minimal work, inherit the family business, and have someone else run it for them. On the other hand, I've known people who had to drop college or had to go worse colleges since they couldn't afford the fees (I'm not from US, college is not even that expensive here, still some can't afford it). The wealth inequality makes me feel nauseous.

I guess we can eliminate formula one. Seems kinda boring to me.

Anon thinks speaking and writing in a language is all there is to do in a bachelor's degree. You literally have to read thousands of pages of literature, and need to be able to analyze those pieces critically.

Guys, is lying allowed on the Internet? I'm starting to think that Anon never even set foot in a college.

I think this one unites all the genders. Fuck Reagan!

Fake: Please be fake.

Gay: I don't care, just please be fake.

The original line comes from Chapter 11 Verse 32 of the Bhagavad Gita.

कालोऽस्मि लोकक्षयकृत्प्रवृद्धो

(kālo ’smi loka-kṣhaya-kṛit pravṛiddho)

The most literal translation would be: "I am mighty Time, the source of destruction of the worlds." But काल can alternatively mean Death, and it looks like that's the interpretation Oppenheimer chose. The verb here is a simple "am", as in "I am Time/Death". So the "am become" part is not due to any feature of Sanskrit itself.

But people usually take some liberty while translating poetry. Given the context (i.e. Krishna convincing Arjuna to fight, and showing him his true form), it makes sense to use "I have become" or even "I am become" (as explained in the other comments, it's grammatically correct).
