• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Come to say thank you. Time to move from proprietary to Open Source⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Late to the party but I decided to pickup a 13th gen ASUS NUC with an i7 over a prebuilt NAS, bought a couple external hard-disk bays setup Proxmox running a headless Debian 12 VM however, this was a mistake on my part because the Debian 12 Linux kernel is pretty far out of date and does not support the CPU properly.

  The simple fact that I can only choose between 5 different search engines for Safari is infuriating, I self host my own SearXNG instance and have to use a bloody third-party extension to redirect my queries.

  While I enjoyed Gears of War Ultimate Edition they really should’ve remastered 2,3 and Judgement.

  I would’ve really liked playing the RAAM DLC again with higher graphics and on PC. Ah the nostalgia.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Beauty Of Having A Pi-hole · Den Delimarsky⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve a single Pihole instance running on a RPi 4 and have experienced not a single instance of any of the 3 probs you mention. Except, of course, the very few minutes it takes for a reboot which I can schedule and am aware when it’s happening…

  Yeah, I believe it can vary depending on how you host it.

  In my experience whenever I brought down the PiHole instance (Docker Compose) I would lose all internet access, which is expected since I’m essentially taking away my devices one and only library, so to mitigate this I spun up PiHole on another device and set that as my secondary (backup) DNS resolver.

  This way I can take a container down, update it and all without losing resolution to the internet.

  My ASUS WRT router running Merlin firmware offers to host a WireGuard server, I simply use the WireGuard app, dump the config file in and hit connect.

  Took a little configuration but eventually got it working.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨6* months away now. If you're on 10, do you plan to upgrade? Make the jump to Linux?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  drivers are notoriously troublesome on Linux

  I dunno man, Debian makes it pretty easy.

  1 - Prerequisites)

  x64 Kernel headers:

  sudo apt install linux-headers-amd64
  

  2 - Debian 12 Installation)

  Disable secure boot & add ‘Contrib’ repository to sources list:

  sudo deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ bookworm main contrib non-free non-free-firmware
  

  Install Nvidia driver

  sudo apt install nvidia-driver firmware-misc-nonfree
  

  Restart system.

  Bonus points for optimal performance follow CUDA doc & OptiX doc for Ray-Tracing & utilization of Nvidia cuda cores.

  ditch the homepod and don’t replace it with any other spyware

  Family has gotten use to the HomePod being around, makes simple things like settings timers for cooking or other related task a bit easier.

  And yeah, I’m aware it’s spyware. I wanted a “smart-home” and essentially landed on Apple products.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'For too long, Apple has operated a walled garden around its products': The EU forces Apple to open its closed system to third parties⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah I was looking into Linux based mobile OS’s and I’ve come to the consensus that hardware selection is very limited.

  I was very interested in GrapheneOS but unfortunately it’s for Pixel phones only.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'For too long, Apple has operated a walled garden around its products': The EU forces Apple to open its closed system to third parties⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I was so hyped when the EU pressured Apple into allowing external software on Apple devices.

  Apple killed that hype making the change EU only, problem is I’m encapsulated in the walled garden with an iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, Air Tags, HomePods.

  Thinking of getting a second phone Android based to partially-escape the garden but if I ditch my iPhone all hell will break loose network wise.

  I picked myself up a Asus NUC 13th gen I7, chose Proxmox as the OS and have about 35 services running via Docker Compose.

  Everything runs beautifully.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When building a home server, could a used/cheap PC do the job?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  This was maybe 2-3ish years ago;

  I started with a raspberry pi 4 bundle from Amazon, played around with the Linux filesystem, bash shell, APT package manager and just kept reinstalling the headless Debian 12 OS if I believed to have bricked it beyond repair.

  Eventually learned about the Docker Engine & Docker Compose and that essentially gave access to a plethora of software I would’ve have never have used before.

  The raspberry pi 4 started to show sluggishness as I started piling more and more services on it so, Instead of buying traditional server grade hardware I liked the small form factor of the Pi so I opted for a 13th gen Asus Nuc with an 12 core i7.

  Everything runs beautifully now.

  Use to work In a recycling warehouse for plastics, the amount of batteries that would run through our line then get compressed in a baler or shredded was ridiculous.

  I personally couldn’t even get ssl/tls working with NPM, reverse proxying worked but it really didn’t feel right.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Gaming chat platform Discord in early talks with banks about public listing⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  But, none of the FOSS alternatives work well enough to move my friends over there, in my experience.

  Been slowly moving to Matrix/Element and was able to convince two buddies to at least make accounts, currently the biggest struggle we’ve had was with the voice channels.

  There appears to be two types of voice channels; Jitsi & Element Call, Jitsi works okay but screen sharing appears to not work on either Windows or Linux and also doesn’t appear to allow mobile users to connect with desktop users and vice versa. Meanwhile Element Call seems to work perfectly but the unnecessary extra step to install the Element X beta app for mobile is in my opinion an unnecessary extra leap.

  Another gripe about Matrix is spaces/room permissions, to my understanding Spaces are like discord servers so when I make a user an Admin you expect them to get admin privilege over every room right? Welp, it’s not and you have to give them admin for every single room also, once you give someone Admin you can’t remove it and they have to do it themselves. While I understand why it’s done this way I find it quite dumb.
