Want to show the world, how little (or much) of your software is from the US? Try this. in c/buyeuropean@feddit.uk

Around 47%. Used to be 87% (With the current options, that is)

What software are you using for CAD/modeling? in c/3dprinting@lemmy.world
[–] TotallyWorthLife@lemmy.world 5 points 21 hours ago

FreeCAD, but basically because it was free and open source when I started learning (which wasn't long ago anyways)

Do you have advice as to where to find hardware to practice? in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world
[–] TotallyWorthLife@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Another option is VMware Workstation/Fusion now that it is free again, or Virtual Box by Oracle.

Oh, it is again? Thanks for letting me know! Edit: nvm an account is needed, bleh

That is what I did for a while. A Debian VM with 2 CPUs MD 8Gb of ram to start playing around with Docker before getting a Pi.

Will try this out, then, thank you for the advice! Since I got my PC on ethernet, but still got a network card with WiFi that I don't really use for anything, I could set it up so the Wifi card acts as part of the VM as a different computer in the network, instead of having to configure the same connection both for my PC and the VM, right?

Ohhh shit, thanks for updating me on the whole situation. Guess I'll have to take a look at Lemmy and PieFed, and their devs, and see where I want to stand lol

Ah, so basically the same problem there is on Reddit with power-tripping mods that manage several subreddits.

At least it's federated so being banned in one instance and its communities doesn't keep you from joining or making similar communities in your own instance, or joining a different instance

How/what to start self-hosting? in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world
[–] TotallyWorthLife@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (5 children)

Sooo... do I just do with known email providers (proton, tuta, the webmail my domain provider allows me to have)?

Seems like email is the biggest issue to self host lol

Privilege. That's the entire thing. Meritocracy is a lie.

How/what to start self-hosting? (lemmy.world)
 

Do you have any advice or suggestions about it?

  • Hardware (what should be enough for a local PC, or VPS...)
  • Software (OS [Debian, Yunohost, other...], "containerization" (Docker, virtual machines?), dashboard, management, backups, VPN tunneling...)
  • "Utilities" to host (Lemmy, Peertube, Matrix, Mastodon, Actual Budget, Jellyfin, Forgejo, Invidious/Piped, local Pi-Hole, email, dedicated videogame servers like for Minecraft, SearXNG, personal file storage like Drive, AI [in the future, when I can afford a rig that can run a local model decently]...)

I'm aware it's a lot of stuff to take on, so, do you have any advice on where to start? (how to find a cheap PC to experiment with, if not get a VPS, what to test on it, what "utilities" to try self-hosting first...)

What math operation order do you use? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml
[–] TotallyWorthLife@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Never met multiple exponents in a row at the same size and level without brackets/parenthesis, always saw them as ~a^~b^^c^, or a^(b^(c)) , so I didn't even think about that case.

What math operation order do you use? (lemmy.world)
 

I have seen several people saying the order operation is

  • Brackets/Parenthesis
  • Orders (roots and powers)
  • Divisions
  • Multiplications
  • Subtractions
  • Additions

But I was taught it as

  • Brackets/Parenthesis
  • Roots and powers, left to right (independently of the exact operation)
  • Divisions and multiplications, left to right (independently of the exact operation)
  • Subtractions and additions, left to right (independently of the exact operation)

So, what order were you taught and/or use today?

[–] TotallyWorthLife@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

I think the issue comes with "division and multiplication", and "addition and subtraction" Here, I see people saying "Brackets/Parenthesis > Division > Multiplication > Subtraction > Addition" when I was taught "Brackets/Parenthesis > Division or multiplication, left to right > Subtraction or addition, left to right"

I was taught to do

  • Brackets
  • Division and multiplication left to right
  • Addition and subtraction left to right

There should be a fucking ISO for this shit tbh

How does one get into Open Source, generally? (lemmy.world)

Hello,

I have been thinking about making the jump towards Open Source, not just using OSS but also contributing to it.

First, some OSS projects/apps I know of are Peertube, Lemmy (right now using Voyager app), Mastodon, Matrix (used to use the Element app, gave up because I realized it was too hard for those around me who got used to Whatsapp), OpenStreetMap (through OrganicMaps), Jellyfin, and Actual Budget, Godot Engine, Luanti, GrapheneOS... I might know more, but those are the ones I remember right now.

Second, I have some basic experience with programming (mainly Java [haven't learnt GUI yet tho], SQL, and C# for Unity videogames), but no experience entering an already created codebase yet, let alone making changes and sending them (and I admit I might need to get some practice with Git), so it is pretty intimidating. Do you have any advice about it?

Third, I'd like to hear about projects you find interesting or useful. Not neccesarily to contribute or even use them myself, but I'm interested in which other projects there are out there.

Edit: Thank you for the responses, what I got was basically find OSS to replace not-OSS I currently use, and contribute either fixing issues myself, helping with other stuff (making issues, writting or translating documentation, helping newer users), or giving feedback on the project.
