3G generally refers to the 3rd generation of cellular communication (the frequencies and ways a phone communicates with cell phone towers). Phones can’t really be updated between them, the modems in them are made to support what they support and thats it.
3G is being shutdown gradually world wide to make room for better 5G speed and coverage. 5G is the newest generation of cell communication.
3G networks debut in 2001 and 2002. 5G networks started being deployed in 2019.
why did you link to a kbin view of another post right here on !linux@lemmy.ml ?
I recommend avoiding political communities in general. too many extremists on either side of the political spectrum.
btc is bitcoin yes. coinbase is one of the bigger exchanges so that’s fine
if you live in the USA crypto makes your taxes more complicated; the IRS wants to know when you buy and sell it and how much you got it for just like traditional investments.
you’re probably looking for getopt/getopts. one big difference between them is getopt handles --long options while getopt doesn’t.
thats what their site says, at least when ran through google translate
first I’ve heard of it, but I’m skeptical of their claim to deliver security fixes faster than firefox.
anything in particular I can clear up?
blow by blow: first the request for an A record ( ipv4 address) for lemmy.ml is sent to a.root-servers.net ( one of several core name servers to the entire internet)
they don’t reply with an A record, but instead a few NS ( nameserver) records for .ml and then in the additional section also give use the ipv4 and ipv6 addresses to those .ml name servers
so we go ask those .ml servers again for an A record for lemmy.ml, they still don’t give us that A record, but instead say these ns.freenom.com name servers are responsible.
we ask one of them and they finally give us that A record: lemmy.ml is 54.36.178.108 so your computer knows to connect to 54.36.178.108 when you ask for lemmy.ml.
its the first and last two columns that are important. the second column is just how many seconds that information should be considered good for before asking again to make sure it hasn’t changed
dns lookups ( what turns lemmy.ml into an address your computer can connect to) actually go right to left. first the root servers are asked, then they say go ask the ml servers and g, then they ask the lemmy.ml servers.
in practice, usually unless otherwise configured your isp’s name servers are asked first; if someone else has recently asked for the same site it remembers what the answer was and just gives the same to you.

eh, its true if you want it to be signed by microsoft, which some projects have forked out for, buut it was put into the spec for x86_64 systems that users can replace the keys. so you can make your own keys, and if you want to dual boot add microsoft’s keys to the ok to boot list.
one of the signed projects is a shim that lets you approve whatever you want more or less; pretty much everything that talks about MOK refers back to this shim. many distributions use this shim
I’m generally fine with it besides aggressive spawn camping
not in a shooter, but one of my favorite past times is chilling out camping a route between places with friends and “guild” mates in an mmo and just chatting and drinking while we wait for someone to stumble in. Sometimes people bring enough friends or heavy equipment to make it a fight. Its chill.
kubuntu is already literally just a package.
if you just install kubuntu-desktop (or something similar) from any buntu flavor you get it.
in some ways: they now sanitize input so things like the xss attack a while ago is much much harder.
will it solve the ddos attacks they’re experiencing? nope.
What would you do with that much storage?
package myself; I chose Gentoo (and previously Arch) in part because its reasonably easy to package things there.
Most build systems are covered by eclasses ( libraries) that handle the repetitive minutia every package that build system needs.
Here’s the tuba ebuild for example (from GURU, the Gentoo equivalent of the AUR), 90% of it is just listing the dependencies and telling it to use a few eclasses to handle everything else.
Oh, and here’s the lemmy back end ebuild, the giant wall of crates is automatically generated/updated from a tool that reads the cargo files. (needed because Gentoo doesn’t allow internet access during the build for normal packages so crates are downloaded ahead of time)
sure, but there’s so many ddos attacks and other scans and probes its nearly required to put something in front of the server
It can be easy to be nose-blind to your own smell, trust me its easy to stink enough to be offensive to others but not notice yourself.
They’re doing you a favor by letting you know. Just take the extra moment and put some on in the morning. Just don’t overdo it and douse yourself in body spray; too much body spray is nasty too.
There’s nothing wrong with solid old file systems; ext4 is almost 17 and no one complains about it,
its the internet, they are. Putting it behind cloudflare and locking down the firewall to only allow their ips has filtered out pretty much everything. its free and pretty straight forward if you own your own domain.
check your nginx access logs, I’m sure they’re full of people poking it.

I mostly stick to things in the repos, if theres something I want that’s not yet packaged I package it myself because Gentoo packages are fancy bash scripts with libraries (eclasses) to handle the normal make && make install sort of things for most build systems
