Whats the best way to host a website off my computer? Its a blog / file server for music. Ive made the html stuff myself and ive set up the download links. I want to host it myself and uptime isnt at all that important, nor is speed. I dont own a domain, but i figured i could just take one of those free ones, or buy one. On that note, why can you only rent domains for like a year at a time?

>>60624671
python3

to start a server in the current directory, just type

python -m http.server

>>60624671
I don't know what the fuck you're talking about, but every domain registrar that I can think of lets you for multiple years.

Host your shit on nearlyfreespeech.net fair pricing.

namecheap.com will let you register up to 10 years.

modprobe -r pcspkr

the silence it's... beautiful

>>60624724
That only works on Arch. For non kiddy distros:

>>60624320
I'd just like to interject for moment. What you're refering to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called Linux, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.

There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called Linux distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux!

>>60624792
you know what i mean, youre registering a domain and cant exactly buy it? idk if its because youre renting it or not.

registering one. It seems you have to go through some third party to register one and i cant tell if its them buying it and seeling it on or whatever. I dont know much about the history of domain registering but i imagine these third parties (godaddy, crazy domains etc) werent there from the beginning

The reason people "switch" from Windows is because it's free software. You don't even know what you mean with monstrosity, you just use Windows as a comparison, without giving any actual, technical reasons why it's "like Windows" (comparing an operating system to just one piece of software).

I still suggest you kill yourself.

Mint (built on Ubuntu) is the most stable but not as secure as some other distros. If you're new to Linux or just want a very reliable system id go with Mint. Ubuntu would also be a good choice.

>>60627336
Publishers often refer to copying they don't approve of as “piracy.” In this way, they imply that it is ethically equivalent to attacking ships on the high seas, kidnapping and murdering the people on them. Based on such propaganda, they have procured laws in most of the world to forbid copying in most (or sometimes all) circumstances. (They are still pressuring to make these prohibitions more complete.)

If you don't believe that copying not approved by the publisher is just like kidnapping and murder, you might prefer not to use the word “piracy” to describe it. Neutral terms such as “unauthorized copying” (or “prohibited copying” for the situation where it is illegal) are available for use instead. Some of us might even prefer to use a positive term such as “sharing information with your neighbor.”

A US judge, presiding over a trial for copyright infringement, recognized that “piracy” and “theft” are smear words <http://torrentfreak.com/mpaa-banned-from-using-piracy-and-theft-terms-in-hotfile-trial-131129/>.

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as piracy, is in fact, unauthorized copying, or as I've recently taken to calling it, unauthorized sharing. Piracy is not the act of obtaining an unauthorized copy of a copyrighted work, but rather robbery or criminal violence at sea.

Many computer users make unauthorized copies every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the act which is widely performed today is often called piracy, and many of the people who do it are not aware that it is basically copying, and not stealing.

There really is a piracy, and some people are doing it, but it is just robbery at sea. Piracy is an act of theft: an action at sea in which goods are forcefully transferred from one ship to another. Piracy is important to be aware of, but unrelated to unauthorized copying; it can only function at sea. Piracy is normally not used in combination with unauthorized copying: the two acts are basically seperate. All the so-called piracy is really unauthorized copying.

Upgrade went smooth.
For some reason a faux start-stop daemon was in /sbin, and the actual start-stop daemon was named start-stop-daemon.REAL.
Had to change the name in order to start services. God knows why.


Didn't anticipate that I'll be left without NetworkManager AND most importantly networking.
Learning how to manually networking without google took me a couple of minutes lol, completely forgot the commands for it.
I hate wicd with passion. Setnet.sh turns out to be a decent tool for setting up WLAN networks.
Not really a replacement for NM but I disliked NM anyways, massive resource hog.

So far so good.
Now time to actually learn how to use sysvinit. Any good maintenance guides?

How do I permanently set my apple keyboard to always use function keys instead of the media bullshit? So far I tried setting this file to 2 which works only until the next restart.

Then I put this line into

options hid pb_fnmode=2

/etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf

Hey Lennart, nice to see you.

I'm not prejudiced against software and I'm definitely not one of these systemd-is-israel zaelots.
Just trying trying stuff out.
Nowadays changing distributions pretty much implies a different default wallpaper but a different init will definitely make a difference.
Plus I get to keep literally everything else (minus few things obviously) about my debian installation. What's not to like?

How do I install Deb files on fedora?

Can some one link me to the why Japanese is no longer a tech giant thread that was archived a little while ago? (a couple of hours)

FUCK YOU GOOK

>>60631288
Oh besides, should've mentioned.

If you want to try out Devuan but you're afraid you won't like it (good chance) now it's a good time to do it.
Debian soon will migrate to a new stable branch so even If you end up not liking Devuan you will always have to option to sit it out for a week or two and upgrade your installtion to a new debian stable or reinstall completely.

Hello, Kevin.

Hi there!

You seem to have made a bit of a mis take in your post. Luckily, the users of 4chan are always willing to help you clear this problem right up! You appear to have used a tripcode when posting, but your identity has nothing at all to do with the conversation! Whoops! You should always remember to stop using your tripcode when the thread it was used for is gone, unless another one is started! Posting with a tripcode when it isn't necessary is poor form. You should always try to post anonymously, unless your identity is absolutely vital to the post that you're making!

Now, there's no need to thank me - I'm just doing my bit to help you get used to the anonymous image-board culture!

Trying to install Debian, I get this message:

>no root file system is defined
>please correct this from the partitioning menu

I have a 900 GB ext4 partition I want to install on, it's type logical (as opposed to primary) and has a K next to it. I've wiped it and it's currently set to be used as "ext4 journaling file system". What am I supposed to change? How do I create a root file system?

>>60632573
>logical
Why?

>>60632573
Did you configure a mountpoint for it?

If you're new just use the automatic "partitioning" tool (it will set up basic table of partitions) and then change the sizes if you need.

On ubuntu here, how do I see recently DOWNLOADED files? I have firefox browser set to "Choose where to download", then I downloaded a file off the internet and it finished..........and that's it. Nothing popped up, checked /Downloads and /Desktop but nothing, even with hidden files on and accessing as root.

Downloaded again, checked disk drive space and yup, it downloaded alright, but fuck knows where, any command to show them? Obviously I haven't accessed the files so "Recent Files" doesn't show.

>>60632581
Do I sound like I have the faintest idea what that means? I'm just trying to give as much info as possible in case it's important.

Thanks, I set it as root mount (the / symbol). Now I get

>no partition table changes and no creation of file systems have been planned
>if you plan on using already created file systems, be aware that existing files may prevent the successful installation if the base system

I've done a previous install which I'm trying to overwrite, should I wipe the swap partition as well as the main one?

>>60632683

exactly

swap partition does not need to be wiped, only set as "swap".
root partition will be wiped by the installer.
If you want to keep the stuff you have in /home just set it as "keep contents" or whatever the option is.

I want to squeeze more battery life out of my GNU Slash Linux laptop so I installed the program 'tlp' and have been using the battery mode while unplugged with its default settings

any tips on fine tuning the configuration

also, is there a way to have it kick in automatically when I unplug the ac? i created a launcher on desktop BUT the program needs root priviledges to run

i would rather it just kick in when i unplug the way windows power saver mode does without having to type my fucking password

I spent a whole day looking for stuff i think i need in my life. These happen to be a gtx1060 desktop, an s8+ with a docking station for dex and a few more things. These will cost me about 3k and it will take a long to raise the money.

When the time comes i'm considering installing linux on my old desktop. I do not know a lot about windows and, god, I'm completely newbish to linux. I only know that there are different distros.
