  • Everything web based

    Jump

  • When possible, I prefer all of my tools to be in terminal. I’m not particularly interested in graphical user interfaces, or using my mouse at all. My only real exception is if I am doing digital art, but otherwise I look for either a terminal version of the app I’m looking for, a TUI, or I make a small terminal based app that utilizes the api of the service I am trying to access.

  • Another help me choose a distro

    Jump

  • You can do that on Bazzite. The only thing I would say is that Bazzite is an atomic fedora distro meaning that the core OS is immutable and everything lives on a layer above the base OS. This helps stability for the OS and make rolling back and repairs much easier. But sometimes installing apps, especially apps that interact with the base OS can be a bit of a pain. On top of that, atomic distros are less common, which means that if you are looking for help, it will be a little harder to find stuff online.

    Overall, I like fedora. I have used basically all of the DEs, but tend to hover between KDE and Gnome. Fedora is a little more recent than Debian, but it isn’t a rolling release like Arch or OpenSUSE. This means you get some of the newer kernel features, but the updates are still staggered and released at intervals and tested. I find it to be very stable.

  • NVIDIA Confirms 580 Linux Driver Is The Last For Maxwell (GTX 750 and GTX 900 series) / Pascal (GTX 1000 series) / Volta (TITAN V / Quadro GV10)

    Jump

  • That sucks. I’m running a 1080ti and with young children I no longer have money for upgrades.

  • F44 Change Proposal to Drop 32-bit support has been Withdrawn

    Jump

  • I’m not mad or anything. But I still do a lot with i686. If this happens I will just have to distro hop. Not ideal, but I’ve done it before. I just really like fedora and would prefer to continue using it if possible.

  • It's Gonna Be A Good Day, 'Tater

    Jump

  • Sorry I didn’t get back to you right away. But this is correct. I just have Prometheus scrape cAdvisor.

  • It's Gonna Be A Good Day, 'Tater

    Jump

  • I just did the same thing. Grafana with Prometheus, cAdvisor, Loki, alloy. It has really stepped up my overall systems monitoring.

  • Xbox Steps Into the Portable Gaming Scene and Linux Gamers Are Not Scared

    Jump

  • About three years ago I moved my only windows device (for gaming only) to Linux and it was the best thing I ever did. All my development and work machines since 2009 had been on Linux, but my only hold out was my desktop. Proton made it such an easy choice for me. Other than a couple games I played that had anti-cheat that wouldn’t work, it’s been great. And those games I just stopped playing.

  • Microsoft dives into the handheld gaming PC wars with the Asus ROG Xbox Ally

    Jump

  • I didn’t think I would use the trackpads much, but now that I have them, I can’t move to a handheld that doesn’t have them. They are just too convenient.

  • Plex now want to SELL your personal data

    Jump

  • I am a devops engineer and application architect who spends their entire day developing automated docker deployments for custom applications from scratch and I manage all our reverse proxies and TLS termination and certificates.

    5 years ago, I wouldn’t have been able to tell you what a docker container really was. Thankfully migrating legacy apps to docker on Linux hosts is my full time job and it has allowed me to become proficient enough in a fairly short amount of time.

    We all have to start somewhere and shitting on someone for not knowing something now will dissuade them from ever learning it and potentially remove a future contributor to the open source tech stack before they ever even get started.

  • I want to move out from Ubuntu and use something else.

    Jump

  • I would go Debian for stability.

    I like fedora since it updates a little more frequently than Debian, but it isn’t a full on rolling release. I used opensuse tumbleweed for a while and it broke on me several times.

    I also used arch for a while, but I’m a dad to young children and I just don’t have the time to fuck around with my OS anymore. When I have time to work on my personal dev projects, I just want to drop into tmux, launch neovim and go. After some distro hopping I landed on Fedora with KDE for my desktop and gnome on my laptop. I also have an old netbook running antix with iceWM and an old thinkpad running fedora i3. The latter 2 machines are my hard focus machines.

  • GeForce NOW Native App for Steam Deck Is Here

    Jump

  • This is what I am curious about. After finally moving my gaming machine to Linux, I cancelled my GeForce now due to not being able to get what I was paying for.

  • Self-hosting is having a moment. Ethan Sholly knows why.

    Jump

  • This is interesting to me. I run all of my services, custom and otherwise, in docker. For my day job, I am the sole maintainer of all of our docker environment and I build and deploy internal applications to custom docker containers and maintain all of the network routing and server architecture. After years of hosting on bare metal, I don’t know if I could go back to the occasional dependency hell that is hosting a ton of apps at the same time. It is just too nice not having to think about what version of X software I am on and to make sure there isn’t incompatibility. Just managing a CI/CD workflow on bare metal makes me shudder.

    Not to say that either way is wrong, if it works it works imo. But, it is just a viewpoint that counters my own biases.

  • What's up, selfhosters? It's selfhosting Sunday again!

    Jump

  • No new devices, but I migrated my homelab from an intel nuc to an old recycled HP z240 with a p1000 gpu I got for free. I had Nextcloud and jellyfin on it, but jellyfin gets the majority of the use.

    I then added a gitea docker container to my server for my personal projects. Then I configured a miniflux container with some of my favorite RSS feeds for a lightweight way to view my feeds on my computer.

    I would like to get pihole configured again in a docker container(I have only ever run it on a raspberry pi), but I have small children and a baby and they make it hard to find extra time in the day.

  • Maybe that should be the case. But according to them they are unwilling to budge on any of the guidelines as to not sacrifice any of their goals of privacy and security.

    Hopefully someday they either support more devices, or preferably more devices meet the guidelines. I personally would like to see devices that are better supported from a repairability point of view, like the fairphone or hmd skyline.

    But, none of that changes the fact that if you want to forgo google play services on android in a secure and private way today, a pixel with Graphene is going to be your best bet. What I would like to be, or what I think should be has no bearing on that answer.

  • For me it isn’t absolutism. It is about trying to get the most private secure setup I can. Currently, that is Graphene and that required a pixel. If there ever comes a time where another device is supported, preferably one focused on repairability, I will go that way.

  • Why would I buy brand new when I could provide life to a phone that might otherwise end up in a landfill?

  • The reason for pixel has to do with meeting graphene’s specific security and privacy guidelines. You can read them here https://grapheneos.org/faq#future-devices. I’m not a pixel fan specifically, but I am Graphene fan and I like my privacy and security.

  • Buy a used pixel in cash, install Graphene. This is probably the best way to accomplish running without google services.
