I hooked my GNU/Linux-loving son up with an old #lenovo #thinkcenter mini-PC that I picked up at a used AV store for about $50. For another $20, I upgraded the ram to 12GB.

He's got it setup it up with #debian as his first home server, with which he's now hosting a few static websites and an internet radio station for his friends and family. He's got loads of resources to spare for when he gets into running larger services.

You don't *need* to spend $30+ a month on cloud services when an old recycled office PC will more than suffice.

The best part? Helping him troubleshoot his problems with #DNS and #nginx and all that fun stuff. I've already made every mistake possible over the decades, and he gets to benefit from that. That how it should work!

#gnuLinux #selfhosting #disenshittify #eff

How can I have a local system-wide #DNS proxy to a trusted (by me) DNS-over-HTTPS endpoint on #Debian (or #Devuan) #GNU / #Linux.

I know how to configure firefox to this aim, but I'd want the system resolver to do the same.

> The upstream xz repository and the xz tarballs have been backdoored.

As far as Debian is concerned, seems like only Sid was affected (fixed):

Generally, XZ Utils versions 5.6.0 and 5.6.1.
