Neovim: Install using Distrobox or PPA native?
Found out the version of neovim on PopOS was fairly outdated, and I would like to use more recent versions. So I am confronted with these choices : Do I go for PPAs, or is distrobox fine for this purpose? While distrobox works well, I am worried that mismatches in packages could cause issues....

I doubt future generations will have “basement dwellers” because none of us can afford to own basements.
“Basement dwellers” implies parents with multi level houses. I feel like the kid living with their parents for a long time will become more of a thing but they’ll be lucky to have the privacy and space of a whole basement....
Why isn't there a Harry Potter-themed Lemmy instance yet?

Are you reusing one postgres instance for all services?
I have many services running on my server and about half of them use postgres. As long as I installed them manually I would always create a new database and reuse the same postgres instance for each service, which seems to me quite logical. The least amount of overhead, fast boot, etc....

What is a simple server solution for Jellyfin and Nextcloud?
I have a really bad “server” (just a laptop) that runs Fedora Server and uses Docker Compose to host Jellyfin. It has been very annoying to update (the web GUI for Fedora doesn’t even work half of the time), updating is painful, and it’s a pain to manage. I am trying to redo my entire setup, so I will be getting a NAS to...
Is there a way to sync todo.txt with Tasks, similar to how GNOME calendar syncs with Google?
I use Google tasks for my todo list. This GNOME extension is nice and minimal and just what I’m looking for, and it uses todo.txt. Is there an easy way to sync my changes with Google, similar to how the GNOME calendar app does?...
What could your distro learn from another distro?
For example, I’m using Debian, and I think we could learn a thing or two from Mint about how to make it “friendlier” for new users. I often see Mint recommended to new users, but rarely Debian, which has a goal to be “the universal operating system”....
