I joined Lemmy back in 2020 and have been using it as [email protected] until somewhere in 2023 when I switched to lemmy.world. I’m interested in Linux, FOSS, technology, and several other subjects.

    There is IPv4, it’s an internet address that points to a specific computer, or at least it’s supposed to. IPv4 supports up to 4294967296 addresses, which might seem like a lot until you realize how many devices are connected to the internet. Almost the entire IPv4 range is full, and ISPs have resorted to letting 1 IP point to multiple computers also known as NAT. It’s what your router does, and why your laptop and phone all connect to the internet using your routers’ IP address. Carrier Grade NAT takes it one step further and allows hundreds or more home networks to connect from a single IP address.

    CGNAT kind of sucks because you can’t run servers behind them because it doesn’t know which of the hundreds of computer traffic has to go to. IPv6 would solve this entire mess, but ISP’s won’t invest in it because they don’t want to spend the money and just delay the inevitable until they have to.

  • 1 Custom GLIBC locale configurator

    Pick date format, time format, currency I’m currently using a weird combination of English, German, and Danish and it still doesn’t fully do what I want (time is separated with a dot)

    2 System hosts manager

    Search, detect conflicts or other issues and add new items.

    3 XCompose manager

    I made something like this myself some time ago but it uses the outdated GTKSharp library and misses several features such as conflict detection. https://github.com/QazCetelic/Composition

    4 Package manager

    This might be a bit complicated, but it would be really neat to have an app to manage packages that doesn’t freeze, crash or fail.

    5 Port your app to tauri

    I saw you’re using Electron, you could port it to Tauri https://tauri.app/
