Hey :) Thanks for sharing your project ! I’m still not 100% sure I need this because right now I just make backups of my dot files and config files and i’m relatively new with git and my self-hosted forgejo instance.

However, after experimenting the power of version control, i’m kinda interessted to host my dot/config files into my hosted forgejo instance ! But permissions and ownership are not natively supported and needs manual intervention !

Is that the issues your project is solving?

DID YOU skip the previous warning? Make sure you didn’t skip it, as this might cause you to lose access to your own files!

😂🫡 Well written and funny documentation ! Thank you !

🤣🤣🙏

None… I tried with my Dad and even add some cool tools in additions (youtube dlp frontend). 2 days later he just reinstalled Windows on top because: “My USB audio dongle didn’t worked”.

Guess what? I didn’t either on Windows and was an external peripheral issue, not an OS/driver issue.

But he also said:" Too complicated for me" 🤦‍♂️

Linux mint debian edition.

I’m just a cavedweller

Did I hear rock’n’stone?

Thanks for the hint :) probably going to switch from SimpleX to this one :)

Systemd is great ! You really begin to love it after you have tinkered with MacOS’ launchd implementation and .plist files🤦

I would say they are all equally bad… But Facebook should take the crown: Cambridge Analytica

opened in assigned Firefox containers

Is there any kind of automate way to do that? Because if you have always to think what account goes in what container :/ This is a lot of brain overheat !

Isn’t pacman -Syu the recommended way to update anyway? I have always used that o. EndeavourOS and hadn’t any issues.

Except for the recent nouveau nvidia driver :/

I like rethinkDNS :) but their wireguard implementation Is? Was? Kinda broken :/

1. Yeah I guess I have made it more complex. But what hard links allow me to achieve is to save disk space while still working on the file without changing the original one. Imagine I have to copy my files to sonarr, have a copy in my torrent directory and also a backup on an external disk… That’s alot of space ! This may be a simpler solution, but only If you have money to spare on disk space. Yes, it’s “cheap” when you have a bank account and money lying around, but that’s not the case for everyone :/. I think the ARR* stack works similarly and works with hard links !

2. Oh… never heard of Terraform, will have a look, thanks for the pointer !

Hard links are files…

I guess so, but files are just links pointing to inodes ? :) Sorry If I’m wrong here, and please give me the proper knowledge If you are willing to share :)

Edit: After some reading, I think Ansible seems a better fitting. Terraform is more for creating infrastructures while Ansible to manage them and configure them?

Yeah I feel you… Sorry about that :/ ! At work you probably don’t have a choice, however at home, you are free to choose whatever makes you comfortable.

Window XP was probably the best and last good Windows version… 10 was kinda okay without all the telemetry shit and bloatware.

Windows 11 feels like macOS with extra steps + spyware on every move, click, clipboard copylpast… Wouldn’t go near that stuff even with full protection and debloat ^^ Just remove that shit and install linux instead.

Or people who uses it as a mini server and SSH into it while lid is closed 😎

They know exactly what they are doing… Some dopamine hits for the road !

plocate is backwards-compatible with mlocate, and is much faster and more efficient than mlocate. source

From your personal experience, what do you prefer and why, if you don’t mind :).

A blocky road ahead of you ! It will take some time, don’t try to speed up the process ! Remember the first time you started Windows on a computer ? It wasn’t easy at all ^^’ but now most people know how to start and use a Windows system.

Linux is great, linux is freedom and customization but linux is also a hell of another level of complexity.

It really takes 5min tops ! But only if you know what you are doing. Immich is not an easy compose stack for beginners. There’s also all the other stuff you have to take care off (backup? Behind proxy? Share with people outside your lan? …).

Having the compose stack up and running is just the first step ^^ but once you get the hang off, it’s fun and really cool stuff floating arround (navidrome, pihole, home assistant, newpipe, vaultwarden, jellyfin…)

It takes some time to get comfortable but don’t give up, it’s worth it !

Can’t exectly remember how or where but I had some chmod 777 -R going on on my setup on the wrong directory and everything seemed fucked up !

Was easier to fresh install instead of hunting some permission issue… Learned from that experience and still learning something new with perms on Linux !

but you’ll lose the ability to mount them on Windows if you do that.

One viable solution to that, is to mount that drive as SMB share, best of the two worlds !
