Federated Services are services which many instances form a network to provide a greater whole than the sum of their parts, each participant in the Fediverse is an “instance”. A message or other item made available on one instance is visible and available on other instances.
We make these services available to all people who do not abuse it in order to promote the values of Free Speech, and those of the United States Constitution First Amendment. A free republic is not possible without free speech and commercial mainstream media do not provide it. We also get some advertisement benefit from hosting these, it is our hope that people who see how fast and responsible our services are will decide to do hosting or use other paid services here.
There are numerous federated services available, we offer Macrobloging platform Friendica, Hubzilla; Microbloging services Mastodon, Misskey, a federated search engine, Yacy, and a federated cloud service, Nextcloud.
Macrobloging services are message systems that allow long form posts similar in format to Facebook. These allow for works of fiction, poetry, technical papers, news items, short stories, and more. These formats are most useful for discussion of social issues.
Microbloging services allow only short form posts similar in format to Twitter. While you can link to larger articles elsewhere, you have a relatively short character limit and so can not post them directly.
Censorship, is handled much different on the fediverse than on mainstream media like Twitter or Facebook. On the fediverse, each individual instance is responsible for content available on that instance, but does not censor the rest of the network. Thus if you find the rules of one instance too constraining you can move to another.
Federated search engines are analogous to federated message systems in that each instance chooses what portion of the internet it wants to crawl. When you enter a search term, the local instance queries all of the federated instances, collates and sorts the results and presents them to you. As with messages, each instance can have it’s own censorship policies but no one instance can censor the entire network.
Given the wild-west nature of the fediverse, it is probably not suitable for children under 14, and you’re guaranteed to find some material that will offend virtually everyone. With federated search engines, material that is inappropriate will usually be flagged sensitive or nsfw (not safe for work) so as long as you don’t expand material marked as such, you can avoid this sort of material. There are occasionally people who violate these rules, we do our best to remove such individuals none the less some will get through.
We offer the following federated services:
Friendica.Eskimo.Com
Friendica is a decentralized long format macrobloging message network. It is similar in format to facebook however there is no centralized censorship. Also, it is able to federate with all other federated message systems which use ActivityPub protocol and also we have extensions that allow it to speak to several other networks via other protocols.
Hubzilla.Eskimo.Com
Hubzilla is similar in message format to Friendica in that it allows long posts. However, it specializes in it’s ability to provide connectivity to multiple protocols and so we include it in our mix of federated services primarily for the better connectivity it offers. Hubzilla provides a great deal of interoperability between many networks though ActivityPub is still it’s primary protocol. Hubzilla gives you a greater degree of control over privacy than some of the other networks. You can create private channels that are served between hubzilla instances and other compatible instances.
Mastodon.Eskimo.Com
Mastodon is first and foremost an alternative to Twitter. While Twitter has Tweets, Mastodon has Toots. The format is very similar. Mastodon toots have a limit of 500 characters. Similar to the short limit of Twitter. This is why this platform is referred to as a Microbloging format. Mastodon interacts with other ActivityPub instances however when a long form blog post from another instance arrives, you are only shown a short portion with a link to follow to see the full post on the originating site.
NextCloud.Eskimo.Com
If you are a customer of Eskimo North, your login credentials will work without a domain extension to access Nextcloud. If you are not a customer you can apply for a Nextcloud account using your choice of login and password, in this case the login should include your originating network. Some features require an Eskimo North shell account to take full advantage of.
Pixelfed.Eskimo.Com
Pixelfed is a federated pixel gallery. A place where you can share your photos to the widest audience possible, and you can view what others have shared. Instance is new as of April 6th, 2025.
Yacy.Eskimo.Com
Yacy is a federated search engine. There are several thousand instances on the Internet. Each instances crawls whatever portion of the web the administrator requested. It is also possible for the administrator of a site with relatively few resources to request a larger site to do crawls on their behalf. Unfortunately, it does not provide a method for an end user to initiate a crawl, but if you send e-mail to support@eskimo.com and request a crawl, we will initiate a crawl on your behalf.
If you enjoy these services, please consider supporting us by taking advantage of our paid services: https://www.eskimo.com/
Shell Accounts
A shell is a command line interface for an operating system. With most shell providers, a command line interface on one flavor of Linux or Unix is all you get. Eskimo North provides access to eight different popular Linux distributions and SunOS Unix. Eskimo North also full remote desktop capabilities using X2Go with sound, and also NX, VNC, and RPD without sound.
Account Types
We offer four different levels of shell accounts: Economy, Standard, Power, and Enterprise. Background tasks such as IRC bots, Game Servers, and the like are permitted on all account types except student. IRC servers are not permitted because of their tendency to draw denial of service attacks. Standard, Power, Enterprise, and Super-Max shells include a MySQL database allowing you to run a variety of LAMP stack based applications on your website and to use non-web based applications that require a database.
Web Hosting
Web hosting under our domain is provided with all shell accounts. You can host your own domains with virtual domains or web hosting packages.
Remote Desktop
Remote desktop capability is like having a monitor, keyboard, mouse, and speakers plugged right into our servers. Because our servers can be accessed anywhere in the world, this allows you to have a work environment you can access from anywhere in the world without risking losing your files to a laptop, tablet, or phone thief. We offer remote desktop capabilities on all of our shell servers except for the SunOS server. We support x2go, nx, vnc, and rdp protocols. X2go is the best choice as it provides extremely efficient compression and X round trip removal as well as sound.
Applications
Applications include Office Suites such as Libre Office and Caligra (which can read and write Microsoft Office file formats), Web and Program Development tools such as Bluefish Editor as well as many other editors, compilers, interpreters, scripting languages, debuggers, profilers, and online documentation.
E-mail
Our e-mail system offers unprecedented flexibility. You can access your mail via shell mail readers including graphical mailers like Thunderbird, or via Web mail, or via pop-3 and imap mail protocols, complete with TLS encryption. Our mail system includes Bayesian filtering with Spam Assassin which can be individually configured for your needs. Procmail allows you to sort and process mail automatically. Smartlist allows you to maintain mailing lists.
Security
Access to all of our servers is available via strong encryption. The shell servers all support ssh access. All of the remote desktop protocols tunnel via ssh. We maintain all of our servers up to date keep with the latest patches. Backups are made weekly.
Eskimo North has been providing Unix timeshare services since 1985. We have been providing Linux timeshare, shell access, web hosting, e-mail, and Internet services since 1992. Please take a look at our services as they support our free Federated services including Friendica, Hubzilla, Mastodon, Nextcloud, Pixelfed, and Yacy Search.

So, I'm not that understanding of linux. But I guess I can't call myself "new" anymore. I've been using linux since December. Although to be fair, I'm barely ever home. "Using" linux at this point mostly consists of opening firefox, and watching youtube.
I know "sudo" is "super user" "apt" is some kind of repository command, and then you type "install (program)"
But I've really taken to flatpack. I hate hate HATE the terminal. All I ever do is screw things up in there. I don't know what I'm doing. I just follow commands. "Just copy/paste this exact set of text". And then I have an error.
It's kind of like knowing 4x4=16. And all you do is memorize that line, as opposed to knowing that 4x4 is the same as 4+4+4+4. And knowing what 4 is. If you memorized 4x4=16, but get presented with 4x4-2, and you don't understand the core concept of numbers, you wouldn't know how to adjust 16 to 14, and know WHY it's 14. I'm just copy/pasting someone elses instructions.
sudo apt get firefox && -z, -r, -☆, -$, randop, redo, up.
That's probably complete jibberish in terminal, but it helps you (the experienced linux user) understand how terminal feels/looks to me. If I had a problem, and troubleshooting told me to copy/paste that to solve my problem, I would. That to me looks as legitimate as any other jibberish that would actually work.
Ok. Rant aside, lets start a civil war in here! I've been using ZorinOS, and I kind of like it. HOWEVER, I did spend a considerable amount of time tweaking it. It's finally how I want it, so I'm not messing with it. So I've never experienced KDE. I've only experienced GNOME. And quite honestly I don't know what that means. I know it has to do with the desktop environment.....but I don't know what would be different if I used another desktop environment.
But that brings me to a question I was told you just can't ask the linux community without blood being shed.
What's better? KDE? Or GNOME?

Trump just posted: "Everyone should immediately evacuate Tehran!"
So reckless. So dangerous. So irresponsible.
Is he insane? #Tehran is home to 10 million people? How are 10 million people going to get out all at once & where will they go? This is his usual tactic of sowing panic, fear & chaos.
He's trying to look like the good guy with this warning while at the same time he aids & abets Netanyahu's homicidal agenda.
Put the blame where it belongs Donnie! On your own head. If you hadn't cavalierly turn up the #JCPOA while #Iran was actually in compliance, we wouldn't be here.

Four days after Israel attacked Iran, both countries are widening their attacks. Meanwhile, Palestinians seeking aid in Gaza continue to be gunned down, while Israel shuts down the West Bank.Qassam Muaddi (Mondoweiss)
its not that i dont think an ceasefire would be the most excellent turn of events.
i just find it curious that no one has yet mentioned this alleged offer of a ceasefire without pointing out it is coming from the same people who have made multiple "ceasefire offers" to the palestinians.
any palestinians here who would like to chime in about how that ceasefire is going?

this could spiral out of control real quick friends. iran has a large arsenal of missiles that can't be easily shot down, unlike the unguided low tech rockets they're used to from palestine and lebanon. they don't appear to have the best guidance systems but what they lack in precision they make up for in numbers

Hello there.
I’m a newbie to Linux and am still figuring everything out. I posted here a few days ago and you fine folks helped me with a problem. Now I’m in need again.
I decided to distro hop a little bit just to see what I like best, and am currently testing out Bazzite since I mostly use my PC for gaming at the moment and heard that one’s a good one for gaming. I’m using a laptop hooked up to an external monitor right now. After installing Bazzite I was asked what I wanted to do with the external monitor. Since I never use my laptop screen, I chose the option to only display on the external monitor. Unfortunately that didn’t seem to play nice, and now my laptop screen is black (obviously) but the external monitor is saying no input anymore. It accepted the input up until making that choice. Now I can unplug the monitor and use the laptop screen just fine, but my setup makes that quite annoying, plus I want to use my monitor obviously. The biggest problem is I can’t adjust the monitor settings without the monitor plugged in, and I can’t see anything with the monitor plugged in. Does anyone know of a solution to this problem? I’ve never faced it before in my years of using windows, and I didn’t have this problem in Mint either. I don’t really want to reinstall, but I will if I have to. If anyone knows of a solution without reinstalling I’d appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

I don’t know how many times I’ve discussed this topic before, but due to recent events, I'm bringing it up again: One of our customers experienced an Azure compromise - attackers gained unauthorized access to an account. The customer is a "cloud-only" organization that uses SharePoint and OneDrive for all document storage.
When we spoke with the customer's IT support technician, the first thing he said was:
"UAL (the Unified Audit Log) isn’t enabled. Why on earth can’t Microsoft just activate this proactively for all customers?"
He really struck a nerve with that statement. My team and I have preached time and again that everything else should be dropped immediately to run the following command:
Get-AdminAuditLogConfig
If the output says "AdminAuditLogEnabled : False", then it's overdue to enable UAL!
The Unified Audit Log tracks, among many other things, access to SharePoint and OneDrive. No UAL, no evidence.

Most people know that they shouldn’t plug strange flash drives into their computers, but what about a USB cable? A cable doesn’t immediately register as an active electronic device to most people, but it’s entirely possible to hide a small, malicious microcontroller inside the shell of one of the plugs. [Joel Serna Moreno] and some collaborators have done just that with their Evil Crow Cable-Wind.This cable comes in two variants: one USB-A to USB-C, and one with USB-C to USB-C. A tiny circuit board containing an ESP32-S3 hides inside a USB-C plug on each cable, and can carry out a keystroke injection attack. The cable’s firmware is open-source, and has an impressive set of features: a payload syntax checker, payload autocompletion, OS detection, and the ability to impersonate the USB device of your choice.The cable provides a control interface over WiFi, and it’s possible to edit and deploy live payloads without physical access to the cable (this is where the syntax checker should be particularly useful). The firmware also provides a remote shell for computers without a network connection; the cable opens a shell on the target computer which routes commands and responses through the cable’s WiFi connection (demonstrated in the video below).The main advantage of the Evil Crow Cable Wind is its price: only about $25, at which point you can afford to lose a few during deployment. We’ve previously seen a malicious cable once before. Of course, these attacks aren’t limited to cables and USB drives; we’ve seen them in USB-C docks, in a gaming mouse, and the fear of them in fans.
Thanks to [rustysun9] for the tip!

Probably yes. I dunno, I just have schematics, knowledge, and a fuckload of spare parts.
I might even scrap my dual orientation USB-A cord that is designed to plug in either way, and perhaps install a switch on it to either short the data lines or not.
Now I have new ideas to toss into the backburner brain bin..

like, i get that minimal install nixes wouldn't have this, of course, but why is this not part of the default toolset on _normal_ distributions?
this is not some esoteric thing people do, this is extremely common
there was a time, literally 25 years ago, when people working on OSes actually cared about this sort of thing
well, some of them, anyway
back then, on Mac OS X, you could go into your system settings, turn on web sharing, and a specific folder on your computer was now hosted
and when i say hosted, i mean like, that directory was being statically web hosted on your static IP to the outside world
you could browse to it from any browser anywhere on earth, assuming your ISP didn't block incoming port 80 traffic
OS X also at some point had the same kind of easy for local file sharing, letting you share a folder with various local network file sharing protocols with a few clicks in finder
now, i understand some of these things being no longer feasible, especially the web hosting stuff
but im not trying to do anything fancy
i just want to send some data from one computer on my local network to another
this is a solved problem as of 50 years ago, why is this so fucking hard
we've got people inventing fuckin web wormhole bullshit because apparently no one has just done the fucking thing, made the `gnu-send-this-shit-locally` script, and included it in every nix distro since 2000

Hello,
I yet again come, hat in hand, for assistance from those wiser in the ways of the Linux. I’m having a bit of an issue downloading Jellyfin on my ElementaryOS laptop. I’ve tried all the guide on the first few pages of ddg only to receive errors after entering the comman “ sudo apt-get update “. I get ERR:3 https//repo.jellyfin.org/debian circle Release 404 Not found.
If someone can point me the way I’d be most appreciative
Install docker, grab the official docker compose file, then docker compose up -d.
Details: Look up how to install docker on elementary (I guess it's sudo apt install docker), than you don't have to care about the distro after that, docker works the same way everywhere. You can find countless tutorials on this, and they should work
apt update and retry. If it doesn’t work you can also try replacing it with „noble” but the you might also need to replace debian -> ubuntu, but that’s just my guess

I'm not even sure if this is satire or not, but is that even doable? I mean I've tested both FreeDOS and ReactOS before, but do they play well together somehow?
Side note, I've also tried KolibriOS before, amazing project for its tiny size, still have it on physical floppy disk right now even.
Gotcha, no worries 👍
Future goal, emulate Linux (any version that might work) under KolibriOS.
I think that's actually doable, to some extent.. 🤷♂️
Hey, there actually are NTFS drivers out there for MS-DOS/Win3.11, I've used that for data recovery when neither Windows NT nor Linux could access the partition.
Very little surprises me anymore, and I have no idea what all tricks FreeDOS and ReactOS have up their sleeves.
