I don’t think it works with Apple, but I really like Streamrip. It works with Qobuz, Tidal, Deezer and SoundCloud. Just adding it to the list of recommendations.

I’m an arch user, and also have a small proxmox based homelab. I always have a live Ubuntu around, the latest desktop version available. Good for troubleshooting. Also, latest proxmox, opnsense, pfsense, debian.

Additionally, I have a small USB drive on my keychain with both USB C and USB A, where I keep some encrypted backups of important stuff, and I can access that from both my laptop and my phone.

😂🤣

Looking at your repos, it seems like “fork” is your favorite term, since you’ve mastered the art of taking other people’s work and making it mildly less impressive. Setting up Keychron settings? Wow, groundbreaking stuff. Your “Rimworld mod” could hardly bluff its way to quality of life improvements if it tried. And a “pure Unix shell script”? Sounds like the most exciting way to put people to sleep since counting sheep.

And yet, they are hiring. Job openings popping up on LinkedIn… Who would apply?

I use wildcard certs. I don’t know if this completely fixes the issue, though.

Yup, I have a domain I purchased and on my lan I use PiHole and Caddy. All my apps and services use the format app.mydomain.com. PiHole forwards all requests for *.mydomain.com to Caddy, which handles the LE certificate (via DNS challenge) and forwards the requests to the proper IP:PORT. I started using this for everything, my Proxmox hosts, printer, my APs…

Awesome!

Is there a “light” version, without a WM? I run Hyprland on my current Arch setup.

I mean, Blind mostly (only) plays Dwarf Fortress, which works awesomely on Linux. GG.

Immich does have a pretty robust user management… https://immich.app/docs/administration/user-management/

I don’t understand what this is about, but I admire the commitment, the story, the CGI. 7/10.

Hey, sorry for the late reply.

I remember installing xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland instead of xdg-desktop-portal, and in my hyprland config I have:

exec-once = dbus-update-activation-environment --systemd WAYLAND_DISPLAY XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP
exec-once = systemctl --user import-environment WAYLAND_DISPLAY XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP

I can’t remember everything I tried… I didn’t keep track. I’ve been using this setup for close to 3 years now…

I know that for Ferdium I used the extra params --ozone-platform=wayland --enable-features=UseOzonePlatform, but I think it doesn’t need them anymore (I use it for Teams and other chat apps with screensharing).

For Discord I use Webcord, which works just fine, also with screen sharing, I didn’t have to do anything.

When it comes to key bindings, here’s my working setup:

I’ve been using Hyprland for about 2 years. I did have some issues with screen sharing (teams, discord) and some steam games (non native, with proton) need some extra launch parameters, but they all work now. Over time I was able to fix all the little issues. For me Hyprland is a daily driver, but I like to tinker. I can see how this is not for everyone.

I’ve used Alacritty for a long time, but I am looking to switch since they moved to TOML for their config file. The migration they advertised did not work, and looking for some sample files took me to a GitHub issue thread where the devs are just… dicks. It was rather easy to write a new config file from scratch, but their attitude is just ridiculous.

Depends on your needs. I have a couple LXDs that only need 512MB each… But I did upgrade mine to 16GB.

Yeah, one of the USFF or whatever they call them.

I got an HP ProDesk 400 G2 with an i5 6500T, 8GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD for 99€. Works beautifully, and while it’s not as efficient as a raspberry pi, it idles around 6-7w and can run a bunch of VMs with Proxmox.

Not all computers come with windows, like custom built ones.

Despite Firefox’s declining marketshare on desktop the browser is in use health. It’s fast and feature enough to hold its own against its rivals

Huh?

I got a few HP Elitedesk/Prodesk computers. One with an i5 9500T for ~200€, a couple with i5 6500t for about 100€ each (one small factor, the other a bit larger, with a PCI slot for a GPU). Not the most recent or powerful, but more than Enough for a homelab with a handful of VMs. Power consumption sits around 36-50w for the 3 machines, a small dlink switch and a Synology NAS with 4 drives.
