Key-only SSH with fail2ban and I sleep easy a night.

I would go for refurb, business line SFF machines. Something like ThinkCentre or Optiplex. Specific form factor based on drive needs but the smaller you go the more power efficient. I have one on the bigger side (internal psu) that runs about 12W idle.

Just double check that it can handle hardware transcoding. Should fit right in your budget!

Gitlab pipelines are super nice to use and integrate nicely with merge requests.

I like the Github UI, clean and simple, but down like what comes along with it…

Interested in self hosting forejo but I’m mostly coding at work these days.

I use Immich for sharing. Get some accounts set up for closest family so you can easily add them to albums. For others you can just share a link to each album, password protected or simply unlisted.

Personally, I run my internet accessible apps on my Hetzner VM behind a reverse proxy, whereas things like home automation, DNS and Octoprint I prefer to serve on my local network.

Can highly recommend tldr as a companion to man!

Same as any piece of software you’re hosting, it’s up to you to decide. I run my instance on my Hetzner vm.

I do -azP for compression

Tilix is great but also unmaintained.

Gnome Files with Thunar.

It’s the perfect file manager for a user like me.

I also started with Hoary Hedgehog!

I remember getting the pressed CDs in the mail for free. It was my first installed distribution but I remember messing around with a Slax Live CD before.

The only thing I really miss is CAD software for working with BREPs, I wish there was Rhino for Linux. However, I can do like 99% of projects in OpenSCAD.

Remmina is a treasure

GNOME. Love the simplicity!

Always ran xfce on my old used thinkpads!

I have to use macOS at work and I sorely miss the efficiency and simplicity of gnome.

I’ve spent a lot of time configuring and tweaking various DEs in the last 20 years, but somehow gnome shell nailed it for me.

Happy to have many options as a Linux user!

It’s very minimalist and the project ditched the Windows-style approach some years ago. Personally, I’ve grown to love it and other DEs feel bloated now.

To each their own 🤷‍♂️

I was gonna say, I don’t like to victim blame but why would people be grubbing around these days to begin with?
