ChojinDSL , 11 months ago to linux in What do you like about your Linux Distro?

Debian Bookworm. On my laptop and all my servers.

I’m a seasoned professional Linux sysadmin, so getting a distro installed has never been a problem for me (thanks to my first proper distro being Gentoo).

In the end, it’s the stability and “knowing what to expect”, that always makes me come back to Debian.

I find that list a bit misleading, since most of those titles were cross platform. A PS3 only list would have been more interesting.

I self host using mailcow. Easy setup. Prevents most of the beginner pitfalls via exemplary documentation.

ChojinDSL , 11 months ago to selfhosted in Can I use Nextcloud to share a closed-off storage space with a family member?

With nextcloud you can create shared folders. You can give him access to the shared folder via his own account. Anything put inside the shared folder is available to you both. He won’t be able to access the rest of your stuff.

Unless he has admin access to the server itself. But you can also enable encryption.

ChojinDSL , 11 months ago to selfhosted in VMs or containers?

Containers, unless you have a specific need for a VM.

With a VM you have to reserve resources exclusively. If you give a VM 2gb of ram, then that’s 2gb of ram that you can’t use for other things, even if the guest OS is using less.

With Containers, you only need as many resources as the process inside the container requires at the time.

I would argue that retro is individual. Depending on when you grew up and which games you played back then.
