Self hoster and lover of cheeses
I have kodi boxes on all of my TVs and play local 4k content 95% of the time, but yea I need sports and live tv occasionally. Websites work pretty well on computers but the streams on kodi addons are very bad, constant interruptions. So I can either hook up raspberry pis runnung raspbian on each my Tvs and have wireless keyboards so I can go to the streaming websites, or I try to get a paid IPTV service on kodi, which I’m trying to do right now.
Anybody used this yet? Will this be the btrfs killer I’ve been hearing it might be?
I recently rebuilt my home server using containers instead of (qemu/KVM) VMs and I notice a performance benefit in some areas. Although I just use systemd-nspawn containers rather than docker as I don’t really see the need to install 3rd party software for a feature already installed on my OS.
I handle snapshots by using btrfs. Works great
Something about buying and using a Google device doesn’t sit right with me but you may be right, this may be the best solution.
Alacritty for me
Prolly not exactly what you’re looking for but an option nonetheless: make jam. The sugar helps preserve, plus put it in jars and put the jar in the fridge, lasts a long time
I’m not going to argue that xmpp shouldn’t be the defacto Foss social/chat network based on merit, it definitely has merit. But in reality, it had its shot and it did not take off. Now, in 2023, Matrix is our best shot at an open, Foss, decentralized chat protocol taking off.
Any arguments that xmpp evangelists will try to come back at this statement with do not matter. I’m sorry, it is just a fact, the clock isn’t turning back. Matrix may not be perfect for everybody, but it’s pretty damn great, and it has the momentum right now. Let’s please not screw this up with the typical fragmentation the open source community regularly has.
Used infinity for reddit for years. Tried all the Lemmy apps and liked many of them, but this immediately felt like home again. Thanks for all of the work
Gentoo is fantastic for me on my home desktop. I love the rolling release nature and customization opportunities. Portage is so powerful.
For all of my work computers I use either ubuntu or kubuntu with sway. I love gentoo but with work devices I don’t have time to tinker. There are also many programs I need for work that offer .deb installs that aren’t in gentoo repos nor overlays.
For servers I love Debian.
It’d be great if this was easily installable outside of gnome. I’d love an easy way to do this on sway or hyprland. Unless there already is a way?
I cycle between 4 pairs of shoes in summer, two pairs of boots in winter, and one pair of all year shoes. I have had them all for over ten years. Tips:
I also prefer to buy shoes made in UK, Italy, or US but that is just preference for perceived quality and definitely higher paid workers than most countries that mass produce shoes.
If you want a specific recommendation go with Allen Edmond Strandmoks. That’s my all year pair. Great shoes.
When deciding between the two I went with Netbird as it is fully self hostable and entirely opensourcen. Also, kernel wireguard support. There were a couple of bugs with some updates but I spoke with the devs over Matrix and got them all resolved. Works fantastic!
Ha I was just listening to the Linux Unplugged podcast and the guy was just complaining about this same thing
There is an android app. I haven’t needed to use it yet though, mobile isn’t my particular use case for this. But it should work fine.
I’ve been using secret option 3- netbird. Kernel wireguard support, completely self hostable, and very active development.
ZFS on file server, fully luks encrypted btrfs on desktop, and probably ext4 or whatever is default on the buntus for laptop and work desktop.
ZFS on freenas/truenas has been rock solid for 10+ year raid. I love working with btrfs snapshots and the ease of adding drives on demand to expand. I don’t think much about ext4 on those systems.
It may not be perfect yet, but ill take the superior design approach (decentralized and self hostable) any day. The details can be improved over time. Matrix can improve its metadata handling, signal will never be decentralized and self hostable.
On top of that, if you get your friends and family on your instance like I have, the metadata isnt even a problem since everything is contained on my server anyway.
Since we’re all using Lemmy, an open source, decentralized, self hostable platform, wouldn’t suggesting Matrix make much more sense?
I host a Matrix and Lemmy server. Even if Signal is completely trustworthy now, will it always be? It isn’t my server and it’s a single point of attack for anybody (including governments) to insert (or demand) a backdoor.
I haven’t been able to subscribe to any community hosted by lemmy.ml for quite awhile. When I click subscribe it just says subscription pending. I figured it was because of their server load at first, but since it’s still happening I’m not so sure. Anybody else having this issue?
AntennaPod is great, I used it for years. I eventually switched to self hosting AudioBookShelf which does audiobooks, ebooks, and podcasts. One main reason was because podcasts more and more yank the old episodes and put them behind a patreon. AudioBookShelf downloads the episodes to your server so you always have them. About 5 months after starting using it another one of my podcasts pulled that stunt and I was super happy to have all of the old episodes still.
