I also didn't like it for years. I used a tiling window manager (first i3, then sway), but tried the new plasma 6 and really liked it. Dolphin file manager was the thing that converted me.

Super easy to use and the guest distro just works. Minimal interface which looks nice, but misses some features such as network settings.

Qemu is great though. Linux virtualization is the best in class. Basically the whole Internet runs on top of KVM. Boxes is just a UI on top of KVM.

Fedora is awesome. I use the immutable version Kinoite, and it's fork with non-free extras Aurora. Dev container is with Arch just because there are a ton of packages. All the GUI apps from Flathub.

I need to add KDE to this mix. What a wonderful desktop it is. Like what Windows should be but is not.

Yep. You need to pay for the patent with certain codecs, that's why operating systems with a company behind them usually do not distribute them. Same with a few Linux distros, such as Fedora.

You can install them and the packages for your os are freely available. Just not from the company making the product in the fear of patent trolls.

Opnsense. Been running it in my router with all the treats for years. Updates frequently and easily. You can do things like tailscale, wireguard, traffic shaping, or adblock in the firewall level pretty easily with it.

Awesome project.

Have you considered other distros? I've had lots of success with the immutable fedora variants, which offer great stability and NVIDIA drivers in the base system. If you need apt, you create a new Debian container in the box buddy and make that container be your default when opening a terminal.

Gnome variant: https://projectbluefin.io/

KDE variant: https://getaurora.dev/

Gaming variant: https://bazzite.gg/

They are all the same distro with different desktop setup and default apps. You can install one of them and seamlessly switch to another one without losing any data.

You should maybe read about the use cases for deduplication before using it. Here's one recent article:

https://despairlabs.com/blog/posts/2024-10-27-openzfs-dedup-is-good-dont-use-it/

If you mostly store legit Blu-ray rips, the answer is probably no, you should not use zfs deduplication.

Yeah... So I'm in Berlin, and in Germany the internet operators finally are building fiber everywhere. The provider who lays the fiber to our street is Deutsche Telekom, and they promise to pay everything: laying the fiber, bringing it to our house and bringing the fiber to every apartment for a two year monopoly on fiber internet after which it's up for competition using their cables. What needs to happen next is our landlord (a Swiss company) and house management company to agree on these guys to come in, put little fiber dividers to every floor and drill a hole to the walls so we get the fiber cable to our apartment.

Of course this being Germany, they are very slow on agreeing on that, we might need to go to court and for sure we need to talk to our neighbors who own their apartments to push them a bit. I'd expect us to get the connection maybe before end of 2025. But eventually it will happen...

I am doing exactly the same as what the OP is doing. In addition to that, I will unify my beelink mini PC proxmox server and our old Intel atom NAS into one rack server with AMD EPYC, proxmox and truenas in a VM.

I sure hope our landlord and the Internet operator can agree on the operator finally bringing fiber cables to all apartments. Then I would have fast enough uplink to my homelab.

Graphene only works on Pixel phones. Graphene is more private and secure, but might be too many issues for people who do not care about such things that much. Lineage has better support for different phone models, and you can make it just like a normal Android OS, that just happens to provide updates for your phone years after the manufacturer stops sending them.

Neither of them is better than the other, it's just about your priorities. Get Graphene if you have a Pixel and you value privacy and are willing to tinker with it a bit if some apps don't work.

Linux kernel updated to 64 bit time quite recently. In 2038 I can guarantee somebody in a very serious business is still using an ancient RHEL and will have issues.

Jussi Halla-aho (Finns) boosted his support in the final stages of the campaign, but it was not enough to dislodge either of the top two presidential contenders.

 

I'm looking for a service I could install to archive a huge pile of letters, preferably in PDF form, to a database. I'm living in a country where paper is still king, and digital services are either non-existent, or loathed (Germany). My current situation is that I have a mailbox with lots of PDFs all over the place, but also many folders of paper sent in 2007 etc. that I have to keep, but I also have to find them every five years or so.

So what I'd like to have is a service to my homelab, where I could scan these and copy these, that would index them, clean them, OCR them and all that good stuff. It should have really good metadata abilities, because my files are usually named in a very random way, so if I could copy these, and quickly categorize them, that would be really awesome.

There is one service called Papermerge, that kind of fits to my use-case. I spent one afternoon with it, and there were a few issues:

  • crashes quite often
  • when sending a large folder of PDFs, uses all the CPU and crashes again
  • categorizing functions are not very good, it takes time to get everything together and clean when organizing files

This might not be very interesting if your country has digital services for everything, but for us needing to suffer this paper madness, a service to do so would be great.

I'm running a small Lemmy server using the Ansible setup modified to our needs. Now, we do not post that many (if any) images, but I'm also running an Akkoma server with Cloudflare R2 setup for images, and I was wondering is there an easy way to just set the Lemmy server to use this bucket? Would be better than to just keep them lying around in the server disk for sure.

If somebody else did this, is there any written documentation on the best practices? I might need to (again) modify the Ansible scripts, but I'd love to not waste time making mistakes if there's a good way to do this.

Akkoma is an active fork of Pleroma, which implements ActivityPub protocol underneath and serves an interface similar to microblogging platforms such as Twitter or Tumblr. It implements a complete Mastodon client API, so all Mastodon clients work with it without trouble, even the Mastodon web UI can be installed and used with Akkoma.

Why Akkoma over Mastodon? It's written in Elixir, so it's faster and uses less resources than Mastodon. You can also define a character limit to your posts, use markdown formatting, quote posts and add emoji reactions. Perfect for small personal instances, you can run it super cheap.
