The important question is if the UEFI shell can run Doom.

It’s also worth mentioning that the snap system is quite disliked by a lot of users for various reasons, like stuff not working right.

I suppose this article is a good example of snaps not working right.

There’s software to check how many mAh most laptop batteres are able to take up and deliver, compared to what they shipped with. Modern ones even have how many complete 0-100 charge cycluses the battery have gone through. You can check if you think there’s something dodgy about the battery. I’ve actually seen laptops factory shipped with smaller batteries than ordered.

But knowing linux and seeing you had an issue with the power profiles I’d think it’s software related hah. Is there a discrete GPU onboard it’s using instead of the power-saving one perhpas?. Also, did you turn off that awful “dynamic background” on youtube that continually taxes the CPU?

Happy to help, sorry I can’t offer a simpler solution that avoids reformatting. It’s probably doable if you want to do more fine grain troubleshooting but I’ve never found it to be worth the time.

For my home self-hosting I also prefer pre-made scripts exactly to avoid having to manually set up everything. It’s such a slog and particularly if I have to restart from scratch. What’s the goal of your project, perhaps something like Yunohost or even DietPi could save you a lot of work and get straight to the fun of self-hosting?

Something is completely shutting your server off from the internet, despite it having full LAN access. The only time I’ve run into this exact issue was when I misconfigured the firewall on a server, effectively only allowing for local connections. I simply started over by reinstalling Debian, wiping all my mistakes. But it could also be a setting on your router, and without you knowing what changes you made it’s hard to give any reasonable advice.

These are just shots in the dark, and other might offer better solutions but I’d try;

1. Boot the laptop into a live session directly from USB. All settings are default. Test again, either wget or maybe ping a website. If it works, it’s the server setup and I’d start over. If not…

2. Try reversing all changes on the router, give the server a different static IP.

3. Back up the router configuration to a file, consider making notes of important changes, reset the router and try again. If it STILL doesn’t work you can restore the important settings. If it works, you can reimplement the settings from your notes. (unless we’re talking manually imported VPN certificates and similar lol)

Sorry I wasn’t able to help you out, I’m hosting from home and it’s a fantastic thing when things

I don’t know if it’s useful or not, but if I boot a live debian USB in the server internet works

Haha yes, as mentioned. The issue is a setting on your laptop server installation. The simplest thing is just reinstalling and starting over.

Here I’ve tried wget https://104.18.114.97. It’s able to connect to the IP on port 443, but shows an error message since I’m not using a domain name. But at least I know I’ve reached the server.

Please try wget https://104.18.114.97, if this one goes through I’d think the problem could be related to a faulty forwarding of regular internet traffic (port 80). If that fails as well I’d guess it’s to due with the DHCP/Static IP’s and involves your router. I’m absolutely clueless about Vodafone routers though.

Edit: Any connection would show “The certificate’s owner does not match hostname ‘104.18.114.97’”

Yeah, I realized after the fact. This should work: wget 104.18.114.97, and you should get a ERROR 403: Forbidden if your server has any internet connection.

I bet it has something to do with the LAN DHCP setup, since you have to set a static IP for the server…

Update - That won’t work at all if it is indeed the issue. Let me think for a sec on how to pull external ip by doing a IP wget…

I understand you might be a bit stressed out, but it’s very hard to make head or tails of what you’re describing.

E.g. What do you mean by “no internet connection”? Does it mean just the old laptop, all devices on the network or the router itself?

All I know is that Stux’s instances was on the fence regarding Threads until a little meeting with Ruud somewhere in the Netherlands a few weeks ago. 😉

Because people might want to have a look at a platform before considering moving to it, and they would consider it because they wouldn’t be afraid of missing out on their usual content.

I’m confused about the difference between a lurker and someone requiring an account, yet don’t want to interact with the community. Why can’t people who leave a platform and create a new identity “lurk”/browse the old place for content, no matter if leaving reddit or lemmy?

I’m not so sure, there are more spectrums and gradations than clear-cut groups.

You’re right in the way that it’s subjective - your perspective is as valid as mine. My own preferences still stand, I don’t want to interact with current reddit regulars.

Why not be the best at something instead?

I aspire to be like Eratosthenes, nicknamed “Beta” for his ability to always come second - Never first. But in basically anything he ever tried. Not too bad I’d say.

I don’t see the point replying to you any more, you seemingly overlook the points I’m trying to make in a sort of “the goal justifies the means” argumentation. But others might find it interesting.

No identity is being “stolen”. The mirrors are not doing anything on behalf of the users, and no content is being altered.

It’s copying content belonging to a different entity without permission and presents them on a third party site without enough clarification to be distinguishable from the original account (many have expressed confusion at replying to “mirrored”/ghost accounts). It’s not a content viewer like teddit etc. It’s copying the content and presenting it for itself.

I hope people understand how it can be argued for it being a stolen identity, even if one personally doesn’t agree with it.

Go to /r/redditalternatives and let me know how many people simply don’t understand the concept of instances. Or understand the concept of instances, but didn’t want to bother with the process of finding out which one to choose. Or went with the “just go to lemmy.world” approach, got burned because it was struggling to deal with the influx of people and thought “Aw, Lemmy sucks”. Or took the time to find an instance, but after signing up had no idea how to find (re-)discover all their niche communities.

Sure these are issues, but I still don’t think it’s ethical to present “claim your account now!” to users. It comes across as borderline extortionate to me. I don’t think it’s ethical to apply “peer pressure” by having regular users clamor for people to claim their accounts.
