What's your favorite #OpenSource tool to measure latency between two #linux endpoints? Ping doesn't count...

Recently installed @GrapheneOS after using Calyx for years, impressed so far...

So how do we replace Signal with a Nostr alternative that doesn't rely on AWS?

I'm building a home in a rural location that's never had power. The area is served by a single power company that has monopoly on providing power to the region. And they act like it. After nearly two years, they haven't brought power to my location. Thinking I could end-arpund them, I bumped up the priority on the solar installation, to go #OffGrid. It turns out the power provider has to approve all solar installations in the region. The solar installers we contacted won't do anything without the power company's approval. I'm also hearing that an active power connection is required to receive their approval. Beyond absurd. I'm writing here to vent and also see if anyone has any recommendations for self-installable #solar kits. We have the power requirements spec'd out.

I left my #BitAxe completely unattended for 5+ months. It was running just fine when I finally got around to checking-in on and updating it today. Rock. Solid.

#QubesOS runs better on my years old IBM T480 than my less than year old @Star Labs Systems #Starbook Quieter, more predictable power management and runs cooler at 25% of the price

Waiting for a five hour #QubesOS backup to finish... This is my least favorite part about using #Qubes

I'm running a service behind #Nginx on a #Linux server connected to bother the public Internet and a #Tailscale tailnet. What's the simplest way to restrict access to that service so that only clients also on the same tailnet can access the service? #FOSS #Devops #PrivacyTech

Has anyone else noticed that #AuroraStore is nearly unusable, due to extremely slow app download times?

What's a lightweight #OpenSource app to annotate PDFs on #Linux, mainly to complete contracts, so the ability to add light text and a signature?

Can someone please remind me how to send zaps from the @Amethyst client? I thought I was able to do so by simply having a lightning address associated with my profile and hitting the ⚡ on a post. Recently (I think after an upgrade) I get a message saying all that a lightning wallet needs to be installed to send zaps.

Is Bitcoin MENA worth attending, if I happen to be in the area when it's happening anyway? My sense is no, because too many suits, thought I'd #asknostr to see if I'm missing anything though...

Everybody wants customers yet nobody wants to provide customer service.

I upgraded @Amethyst for the first time in a while and my relay count went up 10-12X. Is this expected behaviour and a result of the upgrade? #AskNostr
