She’ll have to get a computer and use it in her free time instead of a phone. It’s the best way

Joplin I think, or Trillium but that one could be less user friendly.

Install proxmox on a computer with plenty of RAM and CPU and you’ll be able to create VMs which you can give out or rent out to anyone.

In regards to access, ipv4 is not a good idea. Especially not residential IP addresses., You should get ipv6 addresses maybe from a tunnelbroker. But anyways, first you need the server with the hypervisor (which is what you’re looking for) and then you can slowly run tests, learn and eventually figure out networking.

Btw, it might be cheaper to simply rent a server, which would solve the issue of ip addresses. OVH has cheap servers and a proxmox install wizard.

Just please don’t use it for anything sensitive until you can find someone to give a quick check up in regards to security to make sure you haven’t missed anything. Unlike a regular PC, this one is expected to receive inbound connections which has its risks.

But don’t worry about that too much now. Find an old computer or rent a server, install proxmox and start testing, playing around and learning.

Edit: chatgpt is good when wanting to learn this stuff. Especially gpt-4, but even gpt-3.5 will do. Just don’t trust it blindly as it still messes up about 20% of the time. But it’s often better than googling for tutorials since you can’t often find what you’re looking for.

Edit2: the setup I propose will allow you to divide a regular computer into 100s of virtual ones limited only by the total RAM, disk and CPU. If you only want a web server on dedicated hardware get a raspberry pi, because my proposal would be overkill. But it’s the closest to “being your own cloud provider”.

Am curious. Are you able to run a modern windows 10 virtual machine / virtualbox vm on XP?

Yes. If your country is authoritarian use cryptocurrency such as Monero. Even Bitcoin can be much better.

The bank would know the amount, the merchant and other details even if it’s a merchant from abroad. The bank might have a duty to report certain transactions or could be forced to give out a record. Other international payment process or foreign banks will generally not refuse a request if it comes from a country government you are a citizen of.

You can use crypto to buy gift cards to shop at regular retailers. This is your safest bet if you’re concerned about a state surveillance of your transactions.

One step towards avoiding misuse is to stop considering porn to be misuse.

Use insular to install it on your work profile

Not that instance, but Lemmy is missing a lot of moderation and federation tools. Right now you only have sledgehammers to deal with tiny nails, in regards to tooling.

I'm planning on bringing a spare phone only on my trips to the US.

A good decision.

Here it says that this should not be possible in Australia due to the immobilizers.

Maybe some thieves believe all KIAs and Hyundays are targets and eventually some are stolen due to other factors.

It’s worth mentioning that this impacts only US vehicles from those brands.

I heard on the news that no one survived.

Can someone explain what the Intel ME actually does / is? Thank you.

I’m sorry, I need to say it:

Did she check the control singer? If the control doesn’t say she’s a fascist, but the other one does, then it’s not a placebo but her actually being a fascist.

Good point. I think that might be it actually. This could be the reason.

It should be safe as long as you put in a valid timestamp and not some other value. If you run a large instance, then you run the risk of pseudo-DDoSing yourself by sending a large amount of requests to dead servers, but unless you’re a large instance you shouldn’t have to worry about that.

That seems to be the case more or less. In my case times go from 0:00 to 0:25 or so when it finishes.

Check out the Onyx Boox which might cost a bit more but run a version of Android.

In theory that’s what Lemmy now does every day, but I have no idea why it fails to update some instances sometimes. Instances which are very much alive at 12AM which is when this gets executed.
