Turkish DNS is really an interesting thing. Awhile back, the govt hijacked Google’s DNS service via bogus BGP routes so they could block/censor traffic. They then also started directing DNS queries away from the EU and pushing those to APAC.

Not sure what the sites are or what they resolve to on your end, but you might try using openssl to see if its a bad cipher or outdated cert maybe: openssl s_client -connect domain.com:443 -ciphersuites TLS_AES_128_GCM_SHA256 -tls1_3

I think its easier and shorter to say what is the same between the two than different, but some things that are different:

1. Filesystem (ex. Linux treats everything as a file, more flexibility in organization, more compatibility for differing systems, etc)
2. Security Model (NTFS vs UNIX, selinux, ACLs, etc)
3. File Execution (File extensions don’t really matter in Linux - based on file permission not extension, ELF vs PE, etc)
4. Kernel (Monolithic vs Hybrid kernel systems - Windows hands off to HAL vs the Linux kernel doing core functions)
5. System Calls (Windows use Win32/NT APIs, Linux uses POSIX-compliant)

Performance is dependent on use case, but in general:

1. Linux uses fewer system resources
2. Linux has faster boot time
3. Linux has better CPU/disk throughput
4. Windows has better gaming driver support
5. Linux has higher stability/control (hence why its the defacto server OS)

If we stripped all ms’s junk out and made windows open source, would we still prefer linux?

In what context? For gaming maybe, but that’s one single use. There is more to computers than video games, at least for the majority of Linux users. I wouldn’t trust Windows on any server I run.

I noticed some comments saying “You can’t pirate free software”. I would take that as a challenge, so here’s how to pirate Lemmy.

Firstly, “free” software is extremely rare. Lemmy isn’t free, its governed by the AGPLv3. Per the AGPLv3, if you pull the author attribution/licensing text, say “I made this” , and start distributing it out, you’ve committed copyright infringement and illegally distributed it (piracy). So, that means we CAN pirate Lemmy:

1. Fork the existing Lemmy repo into our own project
2. Remove all reference to the original authors and licensing and put your own name on it.
3. Change the name to something else and start sharing it out.
4. Optionally charge money for it

NOTE: Never let someone tell you that you can’t do something.

If you end up going with a SFF build, I would recommend a dedicated GPU for Jellyfin. Nothing fancy, just a low profile GTX-1030 or RX 550 to handle the transcoding. Otherwise you’ll probably run into high CPU spikes while watching content from browser or some smart TVs.
