  • For dynamic updating of dns, don’t use ddclient or cron scripts on the server. Instead use inadyn.

    Ddclient is more or less just dead/maintenance mode.

    also using cron scripts kinda sucks and is ugly.

    just use inadyn and spare yourself headache.

    You’d basically just add something like this to the inadyn.conf file

    provider duckdns.org {
        username         = YOUR_TOKEN
        password         = noPasswordForDuckdns
        hostname         = YOUR_DOMAIN.duckdns.org
    }
    






  • Forking Linux and continuing to do that instead of up streaming is a massive task, especially as time goes by and code similarities drift. It’s much better to upstream. This is why fortune 500 companies contribute to the Linux kernel.

    The old guard in the Linux kernel have a real stick up their ass against anything not C, despite Linus himself advocating that rust drivers should at least be looked at. It’s turned off a lot of new blood doing projects like Asahi because they don’t have upstream support so the burden of the project is much too great for a hobbyist endeavor for something that should otherwise be fun and mentally engaging.










  • What a shit take calling people dumb for trying to boycott a big tech platform. Having your project primarily on GH including issue tracking etc is in github’s best interest as being “the” code platform.

    You have totally missed the topic. This person is not asking where to host a project. They are asking about how to avoid even downloading a repo from github as if it’s some moral crime.

    Newsflash, 75% of any operating system and it’s utilities are developed and put on github. You cannot avoid it and trying to do so only harms your own access to things. You might as well just cut off your own internet at that point.

    Project developers, not the users downloading from them, have to be the ones to move off of github. That’s how this works.
