Also, I am confused at why nextcloud is at the intersection of networking, music, and multimedia.

Yes it technically has a video viewer and music player, but I would be very surprised if any person in the world right now is genuinely using it to post that content to the fediverse social-network style.

New year 2026? 😉

It is the Mac of network hardware in my corporate - entered experience.

It is aesthetic hardware, marketing, and everything software related looks polished on the surface, but is buggy (particularly their access which is the worst thing to be buggy) with the least possible configurability, completely obscured debugging resources, and proprietary ways to make you reliant on their support services.

That being said, I am still using them because I got a 30€ UAP-AC-SHD from my company’s old stock when we switched to Cisco hardware. And their cloud gateway ultra is a good value. My whole house setup with prosumer hardware will be 140€ and where my internet comes in is the worst place in the house to put a wireless router.

While true, in order to get Linux mobile more mainstream, you have to have great google compatibility just because of the sheer volume of people that have to use google calendar for sync with family and friends and/or have gmail as a primary email. That’s just a shitty fact of life. Baby steps.

However, indeed you are completely right that at the current time there are probably a very low amount of people wanting to use it right now that are completely reliant on google.

~/workspace/git

That way I can also keep other stuff in the same “workspace” directory and keep everything else clean

I have a Code, simulations, ECAD, and FreeCAD folder in the workspace folder where projects or 1-offs are stored and when I want to bring them to git, I copy them over, play around in the project folders again, then copy changes over when I am ready to commit.

I could better use branching and checking out in git, but large mechanical assemblies work badly on git.

KDE for my main PC. Pretty with floating panels, KDE Connect, QT apps are often the best apps in their class and are perfectly integrated (FreeCAD, krita, okular, kdenlive, vlc, dolphin, etc…) And konsole is also very full featured.

I don’t know what KiCAD uses, but it also seems very well integrated into the KDE desktop unlike most gnome apps.

XFCE on MX Linux for an old Intel Compute Stick to keep it very usable.

“Critical” as in not really needed.

It is very bugged and constantly runs even if it isn’t doing anything. It will also max out your disk IO for hours at a time with an HDD for larger game storage.

I have had it off for 1.5 years across 3 OS installs and have never had a problem with stuttering or shader related problems in that time. It is really not needed anymore for 95% of games since the Linux async solutions were merged.

Maybe if one uses severely out of date kernels it is critical

What would I want to do?

• Cut down the 2 larger trees and 10 mini trees (originally hedges) that we marked for removal

• deep clean the house

• climb in the crawlspace and drill the pipe brackets I need to

• finally go weightlifting after months of no time or willpower

• play saxophone

• meditate

• go for a long run

• play with my dog and go adventuring for an hour or 2

• cook a new meal I haven’t tried before

• watch a movie with my girlfriend

• take an edible

• play some games with the boys

What would I likely do?

• sleep

• mow the grass and rake leaves

• play rimworld

• watch Castle with my girlfriend

• eat leftovers

And ladies and gentlemen, that is part of the reason for the gender gap lol

At work we have ~10 people using remarkables and every one of them loves it. They just released a color version too. Extremely good for notetaking according to them. You can write and then OCR the writing, getting the benefits of pen and paper and digital.

Kopia backup to secondary HDD

• Pictures (phone photos backed up to my server via immich)
• workspace (git repos, ECAD, MCAD, firmware, etc…)
• qmk layout
• Documents
• vim folder with bundles
• ebooks

KDE vaults stores on secondary HDD

Soon I will set up kopia to also back up every via SSH to my server and then small size essentials and important docs via google drive

I need to set server cloud backups too, but haven’t had the time…

Easy, just let more convicted pedophile child rapists walk free after serving less than half of their already tiny sentence! Then put them in the Olympics representing your country! Just because he drugged her and “only hurt her a little” instead of holding her down.

Maybe soon sodium ion!

Higher cycle counts, reduced capacity, but also not dangerous.

Difference with laptops and desktops.

Work laptops I almost never turn off. Hibernation is better because being able to save 10 minutes getting everything set back up is valuable.

Desktop gets turned off when I plan to not use it for a while.

Server is always on except for updates.

On the final episode with my rewatch

I think it has to do with data differences between self hosters and data hoarders.

Example: a self hosted with an RPI home assistant setup and a N100 server with some paperwork, photos, nextcloud, and a small jellyfin library.

A few terabytes of storage and their goal is to replace services they paid for in an efficient manner. Large data transfers will happen extremely rarely and it would be limited in size, likely for backing up some important documents or family photos. Maybe they have a few hundred Mbit internet max.

Vs

A data hoarder with 500TB of raid array storage that indexes all media possible, has every retail game sold for multiple consoles, has taken 10k RAW photos, has multiple daily and weekly backups to different VPS storages, hosts a public website, has >gigabit internet, and is seeding 500 torrents at a given time.

I would venture to guess that option 1 is the vast majority of cases in selfhosting, and 10Gb networking is much more expensive for limited benefit for them.

Now on a data hoarding community, option 2 would be a reasonable assumption and could benefit greatly from 10Gb.

Also 10Gb is great for companies, which are less likely to be posting on a self hosted community.

No, mine is just a docker container. Maybe there is something with that? Is your containerized in the VM?

Interesting. For me it was a set and forget. I check the change notes before updating every month or so, make a very small change to the yaml compose, and I am back in action in under 10 minutes.

Different experiences I guess.
