  • I'm "use NFS forfilesharing" old. what's the current optimal solution for shared drives if I have like 3 linux machines in the house?

    Jump

  • Syncthing is neat, but you shouldn't consider it to be a backup solution. If you accidentally delete or modify a file on one machine, it'll happily propagate that change to all other machines.

    musl does support DNS over TCP since version 1.2.4.

    [Question] alternatives to systemd

    Jump

  • Debian is superior for server tasks. musl is designed to optimize for smaller binaries on disk. Memory is a secondary goal, and cpu time is a non-goal. musl isn’t meant to be fast, it’s meant to be small and easily embedded.

    I've used Alpine on servers a lot and didn't notice any performance difference when compared to glibc in the vast majority of cases. This performance comparison even suggests that musl is quite a bit faster in some cases and in most instances it is at least as fast as glibc, which matches my experience.

  • Okay, thanks for the explanation!

    I’m not entirely sure how “… don’t need anything near as memory efficient as Alpine” became “Debian is obviously superior to Alpine”.

    This was what made me assume this:

    I only ever consider dropping Debian and/or Systemd when going below 512MB RAM.

  • You make it sound like Debian is obviously superior to Alpine. Alpine Linux is just fine for server tasks. It is nice that is it lightweight, but that isn't the only thing it has going for it.

  • VERY simple web-based reliable file browser/hosting

    Jump

  • Most Webbrowser Support ftp.

    None of the popular web browsers support FTP. Maybe some niche browsers still do, but certainly not "most".

  • What free things online should everyone take advantage of?

    Jump

  • All this is correct, but keep in mind that you still leak domain names until ECH (encrypted client hello) is in wide-spread use. It is of course still a good idea to use encrypted DNS, just don't assume your ISP can't see which websites you are accessing.

  • how are my fellow peeps hosting your music collection these days?

    Jump

  • also i am having trouble hunting down what cuesheets means in this context?

    When you rip an audio CD you can either create one file for each track or you can rip the entire CD as one track and create a cue sheet file which is basically a text file describing where each track starts in that single audio file. This can be useful to have an exact copy of the CD without adding unintended gaps between tracks. It is primarily useful if you intend on recreating the actual audio CD at a later time from the ripped data. Most people don't need this.

  • Will the motherboard in my decade old desktop pc work with any new graphics card?

    Jump

  • Yeah, that's mostly because performance is so poor without it.

  • and that your cpu might not be able to provide enough data.

    That also depends on the settings and resolution you plan on playing with. The higher the visual settings and resolution, the more demand is on the GPU. So when you plan to play on very high visual settings at a high resolution, a higher end GPU might make sense even with an older CPU.

  • Will the motherboard in my decade old desktop pc work with any new graphics card?

    Jump

  • I am pretty sure that this is not true. While Intel Arc GPUs really should be paired with a mainboard with resizable BAR for performance reasons, they will still work without it, although with pretty bad performance.

  • Please don't upload my code to GitHub

    Jump

  • You'd have to remove your source code entirely from the public Internet to prevent having it stolen by those companies for their LLMs. Avoiding Github isn't enough and doesn't do much unfortunately.

  • Selfhosting on old MSI laptop

    Jump

  • If you plan on running the laptop all the time on wall power, make sure to limit the battery charge to 80 % or less, otherwise the battery will die pretty quickly.

  • Unhappy with the recently lost file upload feature in the Nextcloud app for Android? So are we. Let us explain. - Nextcloud

    Jump

  • The worst part is that Nextcloud isn’t even really in competition with Google. Setting up a Nextcloud server isn’t hard, but it’s not a trivial task. Sharing it outside your local network also requires a bit of skill, especially if done securely. That is to say, Nextcloud users probably tend to be more tech-savvy.

    That's only true for those who self-host this. There are lots of companies offering Nextcloud hosting. That's probably why Google doesn't like Nextcloud. I'm not saying Google is right. Actually what Google is doing here is quite pathetic.

  • Yes, using uuidgen should work fine.

    Jump

  • Thanks for pointing this out. I thought this had to be an actual UUID. Generating a unique string of arbitrary format manually is certainly much easier to do manually without additional tools.

  • Help : Self-Hosting RSS Feed for my blog (pls)

    Jump

  • This is not quite true. As I mentioned in my other comment already, each feed entry needs its own unique UUID. You have to generate such a UUID for every entry.

  • How do people subscribe to them?

    Subscribing to an RSS feed really is nothing more than telling your RSS client about the URL to that RSS XML file. The RSS client then regularily checks the URL for changes.

    If your site is hand-made as you say, you would have to manually create and update the RSS file also. This is quite a nuisance, not only because it is XML, but also because every feed entry needs its own unique UUID, which you need to create. Perhaps you could create a script that does it for you. Static site generators are usually able to automatically create an RSS feed for you.
