I tried to enter my name "哎满" and it didn't work. I asked in libera chat and they said you can't enter non-ascii chars in IRC, only few IRC instances supports it since it could be easily abused.

Erroneous Nickname: 哎满

yes you heard right, I recently find out that one can use an Android feature called "USB tethering" to get internet through an Android device. which is really cool since now you don't have to worry about your wifi card not working in linux since you can just use your old Android device as wifi access point and have internet. not only it's supported in Linux but it's also supported in BSD world too. this can enable people in trying out distros like Guix, Parabola etc which doesn't provide non-free firmware.

just wanted to share this amazing feature I didn't know :)

Greetings,

I want to trim down my Linux kernel to only support a tty and ethernet card, I don't need any other features, has anyone done something similar of trimming down the linux kernel. I know that "make tinyconfig" exist but it's not what I want.

can anyone suggest me something? or provide me some documentation to do it?

Thanks in advance!

Hello folks,

I have a mini PC which I use to host my website and some lightweight services. The mini PC idles at ~10% cpu usage. I was wondering if I can contribute 90% of CPU to the community. Thinking that maybe I can host other people's websites for free.

How can I do that? Should I host some fediverse software? What do I do with this much processing power?

Thanks in advance!

Hello,

I am trying to make an anonymous chat website like Omegle. I only know Spring Boot and Thymeleaf which means I have to utilize SSR.

Has anyone made a web app using only SSR? Is it even possible?

Hello folks,

I made a very basic game named 2dBallAnimation, it's using basic vector math in order to make the Animation happen.

there is only 3 classes in the entire app:

• MainActivity.java : it gets executed when the app start
• DefaultScreenView.java : it's responsible to make the animation work by doing vector math
• V2.java : contains the x,y values of a vector and methods for vector addition, subtraction, multiplication, normalization etc..

are you Android dev or Java dev? share your thoughts about the app? feel free to give me some suggestion too.

( this post may seems like it's more related to programming than selfhosting but I wasn't sure so here we go )

Hello folks,

I made a Temp SMS service using Python. I used flask for serving the API and sms-forwarder app ( https://github.com/GreyTechno/sms_forwarder ) to forward messages from a phone to the server.

there is just two end points one is where you get the home page which displays all the incoming messages and another one is used to get the message sent from the phone. it's pretty simple actually...

tell me what you think about it :)

Edit: the service is down since someone is DOSing the service... I will quickly try to block them.

Hello folks,

I know that we can call using termux-api, ( termux-telephony-call command) but I want to also just sent out a voice message using termux. so basically I want to have termux just send me some pre recorded voices over call.

Thanks in advance!

Hello folks,

I was wondering if I should open my secondary number for public use, what I mean is that anyone could use my number for temporary SMS to make a burner account or for some privacy reasons. I know that there are tons of services out there which provides a temp SMS however most of those numbers are blocked by all the big tech like G**gle, Micrsft etc, my number is new so it will take some time before they ban it as well.

I have a concern though, what will happen if someone tries to use my number for malicious purposes ( is it even possible that someone could use it in a way that will put me in trouble? ). that mobile number is going expire in 6 months anyway, so I guess it's not an issue.

what do you say? your thoughts?

Hello folks,

TIL that how can you bootstrap my DHT nodes before downloading a torrent.

Find a good famous software from fosstorrent and seed it for some while and then when you seed it for some time, your DHT count will be increased. now you can easily download a torrent by just providing the hash of the torrent ( assuming some DHT node knows where the file of the given hash is ).

hope you learned something new today, if you have a good idea than this feel free to add it in the comment section :)
