They know exactly what they are doing… Some dopamine hits for the road !

plocate is backwards-compatible with mlocate, and is much faster and more efficient than mlocate. source

From your personal experience, what do you prefer and why, if you don’t mind :).

A blocky road ahead of you ! It will take some time, don’t try to speed up the process ! Remember the first time you started Windows on a computer ? It wasn’t easy at all ^^’ but now most people know how to start and use a Windows system.

Linux is great, linux is freedom and customization but linux is also a hell of another level of complexity.

It really takes 5min tops ! But only if you know what you are doing. Immich is not an easy compose stack for beginners. There’s also all the other stuff you have to take care off (backup? Behind proxy? Share with people outside your lan? …).

Having the compose stack up and running is just the first step ^^ but once you get the hang off, it’s fun and really cool stuff floating arround (navidrome, pihole, home assistant, newpipe, vaultwarden, jellyfin…)

It takes some time to get comfortable but don’t give up, it’s worth it !

Can’t exectly remember how or where but I had some chmod 777 -R going on on my setup on the wrong directory and everything seemed fucked up !

Was easier to fresh install instead of hunting some permission issue… Learned from that experience and still learning something new with perms on Linux !

but you’ll lose the ability to mount them on Windows if you do that.

One viable solution to that, is to mount that drive as SMB share, best of the two worlds !

Britta filters can reduce water hardness to a little margin but I wouldn’t bet on those to reduce water hardness…

Better have specific filters under the sink to reduce those carbonates or if you have some money to spare (~1000$) a specific machine directly connected to your water income in the basement !

AKA: Disk Destroyer ! 🫣

This is a perfect valid approach though ! My first few years in self-hosting I learned soooo many things: CLI, Shell, scripting, networking, containers…

Doing my own AV1 encodes I learned alot about audio/video processing, metadata, ffmpeg, av1an…

Maybe not as structured as OP asked for, but there’s way to much to learn in the OS world that a whole life is not sufficient to have it all ! However, following that said goal, you will learn alot arround other stuff and improve overall.

If your goal is to learn the Linux system and all the nitty gritty arround it, good luck :/ it takes more than 1 person to make an OS work, so understanding all the bells and whistle is just crazy IMO !

Not a single word about Hamachi? What a banger software… Playing LAN games with prople over 1000km away.

Nowadays, there isn’t any LAN option in games anymore and most need a full internet connection to even start the game… Luckily there are still people doing the heavylifting allowing pirates games to still work (online-fix) with friends.

Yep I do miss too the old WAN parties :)

Everything related to art (photography, movie, music, graffiti or whatnot…) Has to be none AI for me to enjoy. I put it on the same hate level as ads (radio, tv, internet…).

However, I found out how good it can be to help me out to put together some scripts in python or bash. Not because it’s good at doing those things but because I do not have time to learn proper python or bash :/. Though I do agree it only works well for small things.

Maybe, those who love AI generated art feel the same way as I do with AI generated code? 🤷‍♂️

Haha… Had a similar though 2 days ago. What a dumbshit move and this actually told me that “AI” isn’t that good actually… Because the dubbed version was so horrible that the video became unwatchable xD.

Nice AI slope YouTube !!

Yep, but only if you familiar, otherwise it can range from 1day to a week depending how complex our setup is (OCID,Fail2ban,reverse proxy, self-signed miniCA…).

But once your setup is all ready and you get all the bell and whistle it’s just a matter of 5mins (and very fun too if you have time to spend !)

Vbulletin where fun to configure and tweak ! Some private trackers have still those old vbulletin vibes!

It’s very versatile and does a lot of things and I do like ffmpeg and use it a lot !

Too bad their AV1 and OPUS implementation is bad and even outdated for opus :( !

More connected to nature? It’s called mother nature for good reasons… However, I would like to see more male friends see how powerfull plants and nature can be !

Plants and foraging knowledge FTW !

They got hit by a lot of negative reviews and bad publicity those last years. Myself gave it a try last years and while it isn’t a bad distro from first impression… The fact that they add bookmarks into my firefox and Manjaro bootscreen at start gave me a strange feeling… Specially because this happend after the bios bootscreen hack. And I know this is not related but it still gave me strange gut feeling and always follow your guts !

Happy EndeavourOS user !

Somthing you need to be very careful is your clipboard when you copy/past from the internet to your terminal. It can contain hidden malicious code… Nasty shit !

https://security.stackexchange.com/questions/113627/what-is-the-risk-of-copy-and-pasting-linux-commands-from-a-website-how-can-some

Always past into a text based application before pasting to your terminal.

Yeah… Can you tell me where to change this? This article is not very clear, who, where or what… I’m running headless Debian 12 and can’t even find any variable related to org.freedesktop.udisks2.modify-device or any polkit rule in /etc/polkit-1/rules.d/.... and not even a PolicyKit package installed on my system (polkit?)…

The only thing that comes close is /usr/share/polkit-1/...

Edit:

I guess this is a wrong assumption:

udisks ships by default on almost all Linux distributions

udisks2 is not even installed by default on my debian 12 system.

And most importantly, you can play arround with pretty kittens 😁
