  • Nominate your favorite projects of 2024 | Unplugged Tuxies

  • They've moved on to Proxmox and NixOS for self hosting/NAS purposes. I don't think OMV is being intentionally ignored, they just don't use it anymore themselves.

  • PinchFlat: Youtube download manager and library, integrates with Jellyfin and Kodi

    Jump

  • Only thing I'm missing is the ability to only download a subset of videos from a channel. There is a workaround by making a playlist but I believe that requires a Google account.

  • No, evidence is evidence. Not all things are a debate between two or more legitimate interpretations.

    Saying "climate change is real and caused by humans" or the "sky is blue" are statements of fact, and not up for debate.

  • Tell me why I shouldn't use btrfs

    Jump

  • Check status here. It looks like it may be a little better than the past, but I'm not sure I'd trust it.

    An alternative approach I use is mergerfs + snapraid + snapraid-btrfs. This isn't the best idea for a system drive, but if it's something like a NAS it works well and snapraid-btrfs doesn't have the write hole issues that normal snapraid does since it operates on r/o snapshots instead of raw data.

  • Tell me why I shouldn't use btrfs

    Jump

  • No reason not to. Old reputations die hard, but it's been many many years since I've had an issue.

    I like also that btrfs is a lot more flexible than ZFS which is pretty strict about the size and number of disks, whereas you can upgrade a btrfs array ad hoc.

    I'll add to avoid RAID5/6 as that is still not considered safe, but you mentioned RAID1 which has no issues.

  • And being forced to back up your arguments with actual evidence, not whatever idiocy your friends and social media are telling you.

  • Is there a distro that has the performance characteristics of CachyOS, but based on Debian/Ubuntu instead of Arch?

    Jump

  • While this is broadly true, -O3 doesn't have as many downsides as it used to, so some distributions are considering to move to it (like Ubuntu).

    It was a mess in the early days, though, with not just performance issues but outright crashing being a common problem.

  • What are some self hosted services that you think are essential?

    Jump

  • Maybe post an issue report on their github. The queue function does work on desktop at least (the web client), but I don't bother with playlists.

  • Linux Kernel 6.12 Has Landed – And It's a Big One

    Jump

  • I tested it with 6.11 and the performance was kind of bad but it could have been a one off. I'm generally happy with full preemption though.

  • Linux Kernel 6.12 Has Landed – And It's a Big One

    Jump

  • The issues are mainly under high CPU load. A RT kernel will continue to maintain low latency without xruns but a normal kernel may not. The compromise option is full preemption which generally does a good job but doesn't have the issues with throughput that can occur with a RT kernel.

    Although maybe you meant full when you indicated a preemptive kernel (voluntary preemption is still the default I believe but it's kernel dependent).

  • A distinction without a difference in the case of a Trump administration. It's not like they care about conventions or the rule of law. You can expect Trump to hand over to Musk whatever confidential documents he can get his hands on, if only to brag about it.

    I expect Musk will use this as another opportunity for insider trading as well.

  • There's a player queue functionality (which works kind of like a playlist) but I don't think it transfers across devices. But you can at least queue up a bunch of tracks on a device.

    Jump

  • Audiobookshelf also supports podcasts (and ebooks, but I haven't tested that).

  • Major Overhaul: OpenWrt Adopts Alpine's APK as New Package Manager

    Jump

  • Hopefully it can actually preserve packages across updates which is incredibly annoying to have to handle manually.

    EDIT: Just found about this attended sysupgrade package which should help until when/if the new package manager fixes the issue.

  • You can add Musk to the list.

  • Gen Z Won’t Save Us

    Jump

  • Are you saying men always felt women’s place was in the kitchen and now women are saying it isn’t so they’ve moved more liberal?

    Pretty much, although it's not just about gender issues. Women have turned more progressive on a variety of issues (climate change, the economy, social issues) whereas men haven't.

  • Selfhosters, how do you run your services?

    Jump

  • I use both 1 and 3, personally (although docker rather than podman). I normally prefer the nix way but it doesn't support every service. I like that nix config is all in one place. In theory, so is docker-compose to am extent but there are usually exceptions and things can get complex. I also hate having to directly manage containers with minimal commandline tools.

    But yeah the whole translate config routine in nix is kind of annoying, and I often need to experiment to get the options right if they aren't documented.

  • How do you actually read?

    Jump

  • Reading itself isn’t what’s important, it’s mental stimulation that is. And more importantly stimulating different parts of the brain.

    It's important if you want to understand how the world works on a deeper level. There's a reason that all scientific research is primarily presented in the written form.

    Although I assume OP is talking about fiction which is a different matter.
