  • I like this picture of a cat that shows up every time this repo is linked. Good things are to come when this cat appears on my feed.

  • What are your Homelab goals for 2025?

    Jump

  • Thank you! It definitely does, I will be using that Restic article for sure! I actually use NixOS on my main laptop, which I found via Vimjoyer's videos. It's great, though I wish documentation for more advanced usage was more readily available. I started making the server, currently my biggest roadblock is testing the infrastructure without going live (I made the flake generate a VM for now but it takes a long time to build it every edit and I can't even get ssh working) and figuring out how I'll eventually install it with minimal downtime.

  • I want to move my whole server to NixOS. It's gotten to the point where I have no idea where all the Ubuntu config files went, and handling half of it via Docker vs baremetal. I hope this will allow me to set up proper backups as well, and maybe get better at Nix! I started a few days ago using the VM feature, but it's tricky to work on for now, perhaps I haven't found the right workflow.

  • I never knew about this (using Linux) but when I plugged my mouse onto a friend's laptop and suddenly a big banner animated onscreen, my heart sank lol. No idea how this works but it was pretty unexpected.

  • Awesome! I now know the next show we'll watch when we finally coordinate to finish Breaking Bad off my Jellyfin instance :)

  • (unrelated to piracy, though I agree with the main point of the post) I loved Le Bureau des Légendes! Are these shows well-subtitled/dubbed? That's what prevents me from sharing them with my English-speaking friends usually, the language barrier is too great and it's not as usual to watch a subtitled French show than a kdrama f.e

  • The "immutable" type of distros could be worth a shot. They don't let you break the system and if anything does break, you can undo it with a reboot, so they tend to be pretty stable. My family runs a few flavors of Universal Blue, which are based on Fedora and hasn't broken for them, but I don't know the exact hardware. I've been running NixOS (also immutable) on a Framework 16 since the laptop came out, I can't count a single hardware issue I encountered. However, NixOS does come with a steep learning curve, so it's hard to recommend, and it also has trouble running software that hasn't been already packaged for it.

  • Genuinely curious, how do they update? My server (ubuntu) yells at me every time I ssh in to reboot "as soon as possible" because "livepatch has fixed vulnerabilities". So if you don't reboot, you don't get kernel updates, and your server becomes vulnerable?

  • I realize I never replied, but thank you! I got into contact with them and am now in the final stages of getting it all set up to start in a couple months. They seem awesome and I am excited to work with them!

  • So tired of hearing about this platform that, afaiu, is barely even federated and not really decentralized. Why the hype when fedi exists?

  • Linux and your family

    Jump

  • My parents run a business, and besides having me install it and do the initial setup, they both use Linux fine and have adjusted great from their previous machines. I moved them to it mainly because of performance and being tired of fixing printers on Windows. LibreOffice runs, Firefox runs, a video editor works, and OBS runs, so it's enough for their use. They're both on Wayland, one on EndeavourOS (w/ a graphical app store set up ofc) and the other on Fedora Kinoite, w/ nouveau drivers and no issues so far!

  • What the hell Proton!

  • Wow yeah, that's way more than what I have haha. So I guess I need to look into DNS...

  • I tried setting this up, and I can connect to my honeserver, but I've no idea how to access its LAN services. How does it work?

  • Looks like we are using Linux in university

    Jump

  • My cybersecurity course uses Linux... in a VM. We boot into Windows 10, then start Kali in VMware and do everything inside of it. I still don't know why, I just bring my own laptop with NixOS and add whichever package we are using to my shell.nix for that course.

  • Student dorm does not allow wifi routers

    Jump

  • Yeah, that's a possibility. I did fly the router all the way here but if I really can't use it I will go wired. Sadly I couldn't get WiVRn working on wired, and ALVR had really bad performance.
