mhz OP ,

Would you please share what dynamic dns provider you use? I remember trying to set nginx pm to use my no-ip hostname (xyz.ddns.net) but I could not figure out how to link my hosted-services as subdomains (say portainer.xyz.ddns.net)

mhz OP ,

I use tailscale and it is great, i dont mind activating a vpn whenever i want to acces my services, but that is an extra weird step for my sister to access my jellyfin library. Do you use a reverse proxy? If so how many ports do you have exposed (say for 10 hosted services)?

mhz ,

That was a good read, thank you

mhz ,

That was a good read, thanks

mhz ,

That is where you put your optional packages, everyone has his own use for it. I use it to stocke my docker containers config

mhz ,

They need a swastika, I mean a good loving neighbor.

mhz OP ,

Actually, nextcloud is what introduced me to the markdown format. Hiwever, i found myself using NC for its note app only, hence i’m looking for a lightweight alternative.

mhz OP ,

Obaidian + Syncthing will do the trick.

This will be my backup plan if nothing else work out.

mhz OP ,

I just prefer a simple setup where I’m not bound by any developer (team)’s whims.

This is my concern, if anything goes wrong with my favorite app I would just move on to another without much fuss.

mhz OP ,

PWA that works offline and syncs when back online. Note that this means that all files will be on your device

Someone else mentioned Silverbullet, I hosted on my home server and it looks promising, here are a few thing I will need to explore:

  • The PWA sound like a feature I was hoping, i will need to check it out
  • Is there any android client rather than using the web-interface that firefox wont let me connect to remotely without a valid certificat.
  • While it looks easy to use markup language using /, I’m wondering is there is a plugin that add a tool bar or a client app that does have it.

Thank you for your comment

mhz OP ,

Looks great, I’m definitely checking it this weekend. Thank for the share

mhz OP ,

I hosted it on my home server. It is great for sure, I will need to look into it enhancing its experience with plugins. Any idea about the PWA and how to use it? someone else here mentioned it it is a feature I’d like to have.

mhz OP ,

Thank you for your reply, I do host a vscode instance to keep for my python learning. I will fall to that (with markor) if nothing else works.

This is it, with a REM cycle lasting about 90min, I find 7 REMs (7h30m~ 8H) to be the perfect lenght especially if I went to bed at 23h00.

Seeking: Kid-friendly Adventure/Exploration Games (PC)

My daughter (4) is very into exploring cities, homes and villages in Skyrim, feeding aliens in No Man’s Sky, and cleaning houses in House Flipper. She gets annoyed in games like House Flipper because she can’t leave the property to explore all of the visible houses on the block. I’d like to find other PC games that are...

mhz ,

Sounds like “The witcher 3” world will be a good fit for your daughter curiosity, the guest line however is too dark for her age.

mhz ,

Ddns is your answer, check your router and see what it can support or just go with whatever you feel good for you and install their updater on your server.

mhz ,

As a linux gamer, a game that is not available on Steam is a game i won’t even bother checking. I can easily run non-steam game using lutris or heroic-game-launcher but I prefer to stick to my walled garden than step in their’s.

mhz ,

Mtp is your friend, here is hiw I do it on my devices (samsung a23 and both opensuse and arch):

  • I connect my phone to my pc. Then select mtp in the phone notification.
  • Start my file manager (dolphine or whatever) and access my phone storage from there.
  • Make sure to allow the notification on the phone asking if you want to sahre your storage with the external device.
mhz OP ,

lspci shows Realtek RTL8852AE which is a Wifi6 (ax) adapter, It may not support the latest standard but I don’t think it’s that old.

mhz OP ,

Link is not working

mhz ,

Yay, linux use was around 1% the beginning of 2023, now it’s so close to 2%, I hope we see an exponential growth by the end of this year.

mhz ,

Welcome to the linux community.

mhz ,

I can always get the media again if need be.

Doesn’t that mean you already have backup? It may not be the easiest to restore, but it is a backup nevertheless.

One EFI + one ROOT partition is what I do on both my laptop and desktop for years, /home is a subvolume to my root partition. This setup suits my needs as I don’t have to worry about how big should my root or home (gaming) partition should be.

I use Arch on my desktop and Opensuse on my laptop. They both have options to set up subvolumes from their installer, Debian does not, and I’m not sure about other distros, but you can always set that up after installation, just make your home partition the last one (after the root partition) so you can easily delete it after and grow the root partition without much blocks relocation.

mhz ,

I like to think a subvolume is a directory on my filesystem that:

  • Acts as an independent filesystem.
  • Shares it’s parent size (unless quotas are set in place)
  • Can be mounted/unmounted any time
  • Excluded from their parent partition’s snapshots. (a /home subvolume is exluded from / snapshots).
  • Can be snapshot-ed independently.

This is by no mead a definition for BTRFS subvolume, but I hope you get the idea.

mhz ,

No problem here with Opensuse slowroll (Sway WM) and a Realtek bluetootth radio, I’m using blueman for managing enabling/managing bluetooth connections.

47.56+41.23+1.36+5.28 = 95.43

Is it safe to assume the rest (4.57) is coming from desktop linux users? If so, that would add up to 9.85%.l of linux users.

mhz , (edited )
  • Laptop: Opensuse slowroll with Sway
  • Home PC: Arch with KDE
  • Home server: Debian 12 (headless)
mhz ,

Xrdp with it default configuration on debain12 worked for me pretty fine to access it from windows 7’s remote desktop protocol on a local network. There was no sound though, so you may need to tweak it to use pipewire or whatever you are using on your linux machine, if you are using any.

mhz ,

Prepare for a few headaches with anything that is running through ea craps. I had quite a few with titanfall 2. Everytime ea launcher updates, break the game and I have to delete (just rename as a backup measurement) the game prefix directory so proton would rebuild it again.

The game prefix directory (if that is how it’s called) is located in ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/

The game id is in the url of the game page in steam (store.steampowered.com/app/1237970/Titanfall_2). That makes it 1237970 for titanfall 2

mhz ,

I could be wrong, but i think that was probably on the alpha release, which is now the beta release, so maybe the next stable release will have wayland by default.

mhz ,

Probably to drop support for xorg. Plasma 6 is going to be wayland by default, while xfce is slow when it comes to wayland adoption

mhz ,

Dejavu is the right font for me for both ebglush and arabic letters.

mhz OP ,

Thank you for the links, I will hold on using RAID and stick with BTRFS single until I upgrade my storage to higher capacity or my server to something with more reliable SATA slots

mhz OP ,

A buggy USB drive dropping out and losing writes it claimed to have written can kill a btrfs

Mixing USB and SATA drives sounds like a very bad idea, I’m holding on using an array of drives connected using USB. hank you for your comment

What are the rules of buying used storage?

I am currently expanding my Homelab setup, and want to buy a 10TB drive, for media storage. It’s a Seagate Ironwolf disk, so perfect for the job. But, it’s second hand. It was originally bought in 2019, but stopped being used after 2022. Only used for static storage, it’s been booted less than 50 times. I can get it for...

mhz ,

Compare the SN number in the SMART output with the SN on the drive, they should be the same or else theseller showed you uncorrect SMART output or uncorrect drive.

mhz ,

LVM gives you the ability to downsize and resize without having to worry about partitions boundaries. So, if you find yourself in need for storage you can downsize the home partition and grow the root.

That said, I have debian/i3 INSTALLED ON A 16GB USB with a couple of docker containers and vscodium and it is around 10/14gb usage.

mhz ,

Would you please explain (then all installs are user install). I dont use flatpack, but the last time I used it (on Tumbleweed) I remember it downloaded its applications/runtime stuff to /var/lib/flatpak then installing them to ~/.local/share/flatpak in the home folder of every user who runs those flatpak applications.

mhz ,

Thank you very much for the explanations.

mhz , (edited )

That is why I’m actually doing it, we have a couple of old workstation with Win7 we almost never use at my workplace. I use my portable debian on these machines to practice bash scripting, python and recently docker.

I few thing to consider:

  • use the fastest usb drive you can get, you will be held back by its access/write speed
  • Install the boot loader on the usb drive.
  • you can install ‘xrdp’ to access remitly using thw windows remote desktop.
  • You will probably find a docker image of things you are interested in, I recently switch from codium (apt) to codercom/code-server docker image, this way I can access vscode from a browser on any worstation on my workplace.
  • Routing can be a bit challenging if your organisation/school use its private intranet, but I set my debain instance (with my phone attached to it in usb tithering mode) to use tinyproxy to connect to the internet from (preferably portable) firefox from any workstation at my workplace.
  • Dont tell my boss.
mhz ,

Why not just install the Cinnamon desktop when it becomes wayland ready?

mhz ,

“Coming soon” for me started when major DEs started abandoning xorg, not when they adopted wayland.

mhz ,

Is it possible to force hardware encoding? Maybe change the format to h265, I’m no expert but that might free some load from the cpu to the gpu.
