  I switched in November. I have no regrets. I rarely run into issues, and having the control to make decisions over my own computer is superb.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨what caused you to get into Linux?⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Honestly, the Reddit migration. I switched to Lemmy about 6 months ago. A few of the largest communities at that time were Self Hosting and Privacy related. Those naturally lead me to looking into Linux. From there I started minor self hosting on a Pi. Then, after a rather long walk through the Yongsan Electronics Market in Korea I built my own Homelab, and last week, I moved my primary desktop to Pop_OS. Honestly, It’s been a blast. A few learning curves, but the ability to have near complete control over my setup, and the increased self reliance has been delightful.

  Of course its innovative, imagine the room this clears up for more ads.

  I had been using Ghostery Dawn for ages. Got the pop-ups. Couldn’t get around them. Switched to just forforx with ublock, no more ads. Can confirm it does work.

  Ohhh I may have to look into unraid then. Didn’t realize there was a one time deal. Thanks for the tips.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨First Real Self Host Setup question⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Makes sense! Thanks for saving me some time and money. I have gig internet as is so I know both my router and switch can handle it. Should be good with what I’ve got then for a while. Thank you kindly :))

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨First Real Self Host Setup question⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I generally do prefer containers. But I’ll be sure to stick to them as much as possible. Thanks for the tips!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨First Real Self Host Setup question⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Ahhh well then I should be good on 1g. Thanks for saving me some bucks though :)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨First Real Self Host Setup question⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks for the reply! Yes, having a clear upgrade path was a big part of this. Just being able to move forward when needed without replacing stuff for a bit.

  I’ll have to look at jellyfin I haven’t dug too deep on the media host yet. Thanks for the heads up :))

  Looks like 4 sata headers. So prolly gonna grab some hdds.

  As for my network. I have a decent router, though I can’t remember the model at the moment. I’m using a 1gig switch at the moment to split everything through my network. I’m planning to get that upgraded to a 10g next.

  Apk support. Saves you having to get LDplayer or something. Would be great if you’re developing android aps.

  But yeah the juice isn’t worth the squeeze in this case. I’m not switching till 10 goes eol and even then there’s a strong chance I’ll fully switch to linux instead.

  Got it, thank you kindly :)

  Ignore my ignorance here. You’re talking about something like Nginx?
