    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?




  • 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.






  • 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 !




  • Tech literates people tend to be more aware, but people who don’t even know what OS means/is…

    I’m the only person in my family that has some IT knowledge and believe it or not, everyone in my family things that way… While swipping, scrolling, posting on GAFAMs and publicly exposing all their life ^^. In my friends circle it’s the same… Those who don’t know what an OS is respond the same way.

    So it’s mostly the lack of knowledge of what privacy is, in the digital world… Because in real life most people put curtains behind their windows, so people won’t snoop on your hidden secrets.

    My god how many times have I been through this… Living with debloated phone, hardened browser, VPN, Linux, sure isn’t easy every day :/// !

    I totally agree, It shouldn’t be soo hard to value your own data/privacy and sometimes it feels like I’m fighting the wind.


  • Britta filters can reduce water hardness to a little margin but I wouldn’t bet on those to reduce water hardness…

    Better have specific filters under the sink to reduce those carbonates or if you have some money to spare (~1000$) a specific machine directly connected to your water income in the basement !




  • This is a perfect valid approach though ! My first few years in self-hosting I learned soooo many things: CLI, Shell, scripting, networking, containers…

    Doing my own AV1 encodes I learned alot about audio/video processing, metadata, ffmpeg, av1an…

    Maybe not as structured as OP asked for, but there’s way to much to learn in the OS world that a whole life is not sufficient to have it all ! However, following that said goal, you will learn alot arround other stuff and improve overall.

    If your goal is to learn the Linux system and all the nitty gritty arround it, good luck :/ it takes more than 1 person to make an OS work, so understanding all the bells and whistle is just crazy IMO !
