You’re on an instance that is defederated from Hexbear.net and Lemmygrad.ml, though, both fairly popular instances. Why not move to Lemmy.zip, if you oppose defederation?

I said “equivalent” and “equally valid”, if you’re going to make an argument based on the exact word used you should at least get it right.

Only difference is that your side is “right”

I literally quoted this sentence where you stated that they were equivalent in my previous reply.

I need help with networking for VirtualBox guests running on Windows hosts.

https://lemmy.world/u/rtxn posted on Feb 18, 2026 21:25

I know this isn’t “selfhosting” as most people imagine it, but it is about hosting services on own hardware, hence why I’m posting in this community.

I’m supposed to help a teacher set up a networking exercise where pairs of computers are connected directly on a crossover cable and can access services (echo, HTTP, SSH, FTP) on each other. Every computer is identical: Windows 10 host, one VirtualBox VM running Linux Mint with a bridged adapter in promiscuous mode. Each host and VM has its own static link-local IP address.

The problem is, the VMs can’t talk to each other, and I don’t know why.

From one VM, I can ping itself, its host, and the remote host, but not the remote VM. Each host can ping itself, the local VM, the remote host, but not the remote VM. I’ve tried connecting both hosts to a layer-2 switch, with the same result.

Can someone point me at the one thing that I’m obviously doing wrong?

Running Linux on metal isn’t an option. In the past, the classroom computers used to dual boot Windows and Ubuntu, but the Windows install got so bloated (the software too, not just Windows) that it needs the full SSD.

Thanks for the follow-up. Of course you would have some kind of mass-deployment, it didn’t think of that. I thought you’d maybe copy the Windows MAC to Linux, but… then you’d remember doing that.

Next up, they will also all have the same ssh host key ;-) (Which may be an advantage actually, but still confusing.) Those are the kind of problems cloud-init is solving, I guess.

“B-b-but my side virtuous (in all ways, and can do no wrong), while their side ignoramus (everything they do is because they are poopy-heads)!”

I wish I could add /s here but a good half the population on earth seems to hold to this as an invariant position, solidarity in the face of all obstacles, i.e. the Nazi bar effect.

Case in point: who doesn’t love it when a religious institution offers food and shelter and medical care to the needy, or counsels people to forgive, laying down their burdens and seek therapy to thereby travel lighter through the world? It is the diddling kids part that for some strange reason (/s on this one) people tend to get upset?

Since we were talking about Zionism here, I will mention that Deuteronomy 13:5 (in the Torah, part of the Old Testament for Christian and Muslim and offshoot religious branches such as Mormonism) provides an EXTREMELY stern warning about those who would misuse their authority to lead people astray.

TLDR: intolerance paradox - if you tolerate the intolerant, it corrupts the entire system, giving it a bad reputation when people see the worst excesses and extrapolate that to infer the properties of the whole. e.g. Reddit is fascist, hence we did not stay and put up with it but rather moved here.

  1. That’s not true. A lot of users have spoken out against defederation. Just look at the top comments here. There is no way you can speak of a “consensus” as the admin of dbzer0 claims.

  2. It’s completely ridiculous to accuse feddit.org of being Zionist because particularly militant anti-Zionist forms (“Death to Israel”) are not allowed there. This line of argument is inconclusive and makes the classic conversion fallacy. But more importantly, most people on feddit.org are very critical of Israel. For example, I never read that anyone seriously denies that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. Even if it did happen, it would be criticized immediately. They probably just don’t do so with the radicalism that is represented on dbzer0. Instead of concluding that there is at least a large overlap here, that the people on feddit.org are not only not allies, but in fact enemies (“fascists”), is so ridiculous that I can hardly believe that this is being advocated by adults. Yes, there have always been these stupid left-wing purity contests. But I think this reaches a new level of stupidity here.

I can’t stand this anymore. There are actual fascists who want to destroy both the users of feddit.org and dbzer0. They won’t care how purely anti-Zionist the person in question is. They’ll hang us all equally if they get the chance. But instead of uniting, we are creating new hostilities between us.

PipeWire 1.6.0 (Penicillin) released

https://toast.ooo/u/cm0002 posted on Feb 19, 2026 14:39

This is the 1.6 release that is API and ABI compatible with previous 1.4.x releases. This release contains some of the bigger changes that happened since the 1.4 release last year, including:

  • An LDAC decoder was added for bluetooth.
  • SpanDSP for bluetooth packet loss concealment.
  • Safe parsing and building of PODs in shared memory.
  • Added support for metadata features. This is used to signal that the sync_timeline metadata supports the RELEASE operation.
  • Node commands and events can contain extra user data.
  • Support for more compressed format helper functions to create and parse formats.
  • Support for compile time max channels. The max channels was increased to 128.
  • Support for audio channel layouts was added. This makes it possible to set “audio.layout” = “5.1” instead of the more verbose audio.position = [ FL, FR, FC, LFE, SL, SR ]
  • Support for Capability Params was added. This can be used to negotiate capabilities on a link before format and buffer negotiation takes place.
  • More HDR colortypes are added.
  • Loops now have locking with priority inversion. Most code was adapted to use the faster locks instead of epoll/eventfd to update shared state.
  • Channel position are parsed from EDID data.
  • Channel maps are now set on ALSA.
  • The resampler now supports configurable window functions such as blackman and kaiser windows. The phases are now also calculated with fixed point math, which makes it more accurate.
  • Many bluetooth updates and improvements.
  • The filter-graph has an ffmpeg and ONNX plugin. The ffmpeg plugin can run an audio AVFilterGraph. The ONNX plugin can run some models such as the silero VAD.
  • Many AVB updates. Work is ongoing to merge the Milan protocol.
  • Support for v0 clients was removed.
  • The jack-tunnel module can now autoconnect ports.
  • ROC support multitrack layouts now.
  • Many RTP updates.
  • rlimits can now be set in the config file.
  • Thread reset on fork can now be configured. JACK clients expect this to be disabled.
  • node.exclusive is now enforced.
  • node.reliable enables reliable transport.
  • pw-cat supports sysex and midiclip as well as some more uncompressed formats. Options were added to set the container and codec formats as well as list the supported containers, codecs, layouts and channel names.
  • Documentation updates.
