Shoot, apparently it’s not open source. That’s not confidence-inspiring… but then again PS3 CFWs weren’t either (*sighs*)
Does that apply to PS4s running 11.something? I can’t remember what OS version our PS4 is on, but it’s new enough that a jailbreak only came out pretty recently. Needed a specific game disc to work.
Oooh awesome. I figured normal burned discs wouldn’t work.
We don’t have a bluray burner (only a CD/DVD drive) but have been kinda wanting to get one.
Wait, you can get jailbreak discs from aliexpress? That might be worth looking into…
(although, how do we know if it’s got malware on it?)
This is awesome. Should be the normal way to do things!

The homeserver doesn’t have to be fancy. We’re running all our stuff off a Dell Vostro from 2012 we got for like $30 on Craigslist. (It did need another $30 replacement PSU though. And it has 8GB RAM and a 500GB SSD which is nothing to sneeze at for a machine that cheap and that old.)
Funnily enough, Gajim from Flatpak (1.9.5) does drag and drop just fine!
I can’t remember what version we’ve got on our laptop– [can’t we just check packages.debian.org?] right! It’s 2.1.1-2, apparently. Good to hear that 2.2.0 is non-adwaitified, that sounds like a good place to fork from.

We were homeschooled.
Not the “religious nut” kind of homeschooling though. I wasn’t even aware that was a thing growing up. Our parents actually raised us totally atheist, so almost the opposite!
Personally I’m glad we were homeschooled, our parents actually did teach us well and we learned all the academic stuff you’d expect us to learn. (The state we grew up in also has a system of “you take yearly state-run standardized tests to make sure you’re actually being taught stuff”, which probably helps. But like, I don’t think that was the only reason our parents taught us well, I’m pretty sure they actually cared, too.)
The downside of all that is that it helped our parents keep us isolated. But honestly, I’ll take that over the bullying (and indoctrination) we’ve heard of public school having. Public school sounds like hell.

This is why we run Gajim 1.9.5 in flatpak.
Which. Got removed from flathub, so to install it on our laptop, we had to do some kind of weird flatpak sideloading thing.
On our laptop we’ve been using Gajim 2.something from Debian 13 (our desktop runs testing so we can’t do that there). It’s not Full Gnomified. It also locks up whenever we try dragging a picture into the chat window to send. So… yeah.
Someone should fork Gajim pre-2.
Honestly, I may not be the best person to ask if an IDE is what you want, heh. We usually just use it as an editor, and we don’t really have much in the way of IDE features in vim either. But we also don’t really use languages that practically need an IDE, like Java. Stuff like HTML and perl and JS are much easier to write with a normal text editor.
If you just need LSP autocomplete and such, though, Kate’s got that! There’s a plugin for it, I think. You might have to turn it on.
There’s also plenty of good GUI editors if vim and emacs aren’t your cup of tea. Personally I think Kate’s fantastic, for instance.

The moment you get a TLS cert, it’ll show up in Certificate Transparency logs and apparently the attack bots scan that for targets.
You can totally do that yeah!
We have our stuff set up so inbound VPS traffic (for HTTPS) comes in on port 4430, while LAN traffic is on 443. It’s not done for firewall reasons, it’s so we can pass the client’s IP through with Nginx’s proxy_protocol feature, but you could just make your local-only services not listen on 4430. Boom, done.
Fail2Ban on the VPS is probably good. On the home server, it might just lock out the VPS (since everything comes from there).
Anyway yeah, I’ve got a whole guide on this sort of setup! https://frost.brightfur.net/blog/selfhosting-with-a-bounce-vps-part-1/

Man, it’s so weird to think about misogynistic/degrading/abusive porn existing. I’m used to furry porn which, generally, is much more positive “yay let’s do [insert rule 34 of literally anything you could possibly think of] and have a great time!” type stuff.

Yeah, pawb.social had a mishap that resulted in all the images getting deleted (the ones that weren’t hotlinked from other places). I’d reupload the screenshot but I don’t even know if I have it anymore at this point. (It’s probably there, but I doubt I could find it.)

man I’m SO late on this, sheesh
but the ones at the top are CPU usage (per-core), ones on the bottom left are CPU (overall)/RAM/swap!
Oooh lovely!! We’re uh, pre-12.5 I think.
A DVD won’t work, right, it’s gotta be a bluray? Because if we can do this with a DVD-R and not need another reader, that’d be great.
