Calculator Manipulator
A bit of a PSA for LG owners running webOS:
I rooted my tv and now have adless youtube, but apparently root is not a prerequisite - there also installation using dev mode. Admitedly, haven’t tried it and it’s probably less convenient to get it set up, but then it should be a one time thing.
How do you control it? Any fancy integration or just good old mouse?
I’m a syaadmin now, but self hosting nextcloud is what got me my first IT job. I now host a bunch of stuff (even email!), lemmy included.
how did you decide that you would like to self-host? I wanted my friends to play a cs1.6 map I had created.
dire problems, including those that accumulate over time
That’s not a thing. You create problems over time by experimening in what is, effectively, production load. If all you ever did was install any distro and kept it up to date - not much can break. Granted - shit happens, but it’s incredibly rare.
As an example - I’ve set up my mail server in May 2019. Chose archlinux, because I never wanted to go through a big upgrade. The only exta software installed there is mail-server related. Direct from the repos. I’ve become confident enough that now there’s a nightly cronjob to update the system with a hook to reboot if kernel or init gets updated.
In all those 5 a bit years I’ve had one issue where I hqd to revert a kernel update.
Another example is tang on an ubuntu server. This was at a previous workplace, but essentially it’s a piece of software from the repos. Originally installed on 16.04, has gone without reprovisioning all the way to 22.04. I’ve now left the company, but I hear it’s still running.
Upgrading an ubuntu desktop fleet with a myriad of custom software, on the other hand… let’s just not talk about it.
Democracy does seem to cater people just below average. Good monarchs can easily beat that, but then the new problem presents itself very quickly - good monarchs are far and few between.
I’m not the best person to query about backups, but in your situation I would do the following, assuming both server and desktop run on BTRFS:
Have a script on the desktop that starts btrfs-receive and then notifies the server that it should start btrfs-send.
You can also do rsync if BTRFS is not a thing you use, but It would either be expensive storage wise, or you would only ever have 1 backup - latest.
I use 9 systems currently:
And the w11 is a work laptop that is getting Gentoo whenever I get a minute, leaving w11 on as small a partition as I can get away with for a once a month check in to intune.
Same as the other commentor. Good read!
As comment in another post said - this is for modules only. There’s still a ton of binary fluff that is the main cause of issues and that is not getting open sourced.

It does seem suspicious, though.

Pick one.
Sysadmin rather than dev here, but magit was what converted me to emacs. And then, at some point, it clicked that the whole shell uses the same (where applicable) shortcuts as emacs. Or, more likely, the other way around. Anyway, point being - what I learnt in emacs, I could reuse on all the hosts I ssh into.
On top of that - basic navigation in tmux also uses the same shortcuts. Win-win-win :)
Fair enough. What stuff do you run on your regular week?
I’ve not had anything like that since… forever. But then I’m not a kde nor fedora user. Naturally raises the question - have you considered switching from kde, fedora or both?
Not sure how much of your ground it would cover, but I’ve used easyeffects in the past to apply noise cancellation. Worked very well. It’s also on pipewire level so you don’t have to mess with alsa directly.
I do recall it having many more plugins as well as eq, I just didn’t have a reason to use it.
I’ve been running mine for just over 5 years now - initial setup was ass, but it’s very much hands off now - email simply doesn’t change anymore.
If you have a domain to test - I can host it for you. If you then decide that it works well enough for you - I’ll show you how to set it up on your own server.
Wireguard works best for private traffic, but you can’t host a public site with that.
Of course you can! Nginx and wireguard on a VPS and actual services wherever you want.
Ship an appimage or something, use basic fs abstraction to create an encrypted blob, do whatever you want within said blob.
Look at virtualbox or something for inspiration.
Look at xdg desktop portals for transfering files.
