🤮 I hate gui config! Way too much hassle. Give me cli and a config file anyday! I love being able to just ssh into my server anytime from anywhere and fix, modify or install and setup something.

The key to not being overwhelmed is manageable deployment. Only setup one service at a time, get it working, safe and reliable before switching to actually using full time, then once certain it's solid, implement the next tool or deployment.

My servers have almost no breakages or issues. They run 24/7/365 and are solid and reliable. Only time anything breaks is either an update or new service deployment, but they are just user error by me and not the servers fault.

Although I don't work in IT so maybe the small bits of maintenance I actually do feel less to me?

I have 26 containers running, plus a fair few bare metal services. Plus I do a bit of software dev as a hobby.

We're currently living in one of the calmest most peaceful times in human history. Humanity has solved a lot of problems and challenges already, and life is considerably easier for the vast majority of people in the developed world compared to any time previously.

With that in mind, the key really is to not sweat the stuff out of your control.

Only think about and care about what you can affect. Who you spend your time with, what you choose to do. Simple things like hobbies, work and education. These are the things that matter and actually should affect your mood.

It's hard to ignore the news, but try not to get wrapped up in it, yes there is bad shit going on, but since the dawn of time bad stuff has always been happening.

I've had a domain with a dynamic up for over a year with no problems. I have a simple script that runs every 30mins to check if my IP has changed, then updates the DNS records when required.

I love podman quadlets, I didn't do anything and it updated itself 😁

After over a decade using systemd in arch and Debian, I never had any direct issues with it. However, I never truly got my head around it or got comfortable with how it functioned. I recently swapped arch for void which uses runit, and after over a month using it I to an amazed both how clean and simple it is, how everything just works, how easy to interact and use runit is and am blown away by boot and shutdown times. My arch / systemd setup was heavily optimised for boot, and I thought was quick, but runit starts in about 4 seconds and shutdown is about 2 seconds.

i think the majority of the uk, regardless of how much starmer is currently disliked, actually back his decision to not support trump. As much as I personally dislike dictators and the way iran is run, there are lots of places and countries that are run in ways I dislike, that includes the US and Russia, but we shouldn’t go round attacking and attempting military based regime change without a solid legal reason.

The vast majority of the world uses compatible voltages, so just a basic adapter is all that you need. The only places using odd voltage requiring a transformer are Japan and Northern America.

However for things with a power brick like a ps5, you just need to buy the correct power brick.

You can get universal plug sockets that accept any plug, see them in the middle East a lot. Obviously they only work with 220-240 v

Nah computing as a service will be for the masses and mainstream user who doesn't care, and they will have age verification and all the "security" measures included. The custom build and DIY setups won't change at all. Any Linux / BSD distro can just be hosted in a territory that doesn't require these "security" measures, then anybody who knows how to use them will be able to continue unaffected.

Surely we should ban all extremist organisations, regardless of the faith they align to?

I switched from photo prism after 12 months on it, to immich. Much prefer it and offers more and better features from my perspective.

I built go-notes for exactly this reason. You deploy it on your server, then there is a nice web UI, android app, windows app and Linux app.

Multi user with live collaboration, so you can see each other typing in shared notes.

I don't think the issue is listening to music, but installing potentially dodgy software that could bring a virus into the corporate network. Hence most businesses handling sensitive information try to protect their systems and networks by preventing unauthorised installation of software.

You used "I" a lot in that response! You seem to think you have the best idea of what everybody else would find valuable.

What is actually true is stupid, pointless, simple and obvious questions being posted and responded to means other people don't need to post the same question again.

You're missing the point of Linux. Generally, gnu/ Linux is a community based ecosystem across the board. Most of the software, most of the distros and most of the code you will use and encounter using any Linux distro will be community based. That's what gives Linux its advantage. The community can vet and improve any piece of code to improve the system for everybody.

How insulting to toddlers! Trumps not that intelligent!

Just jump straight in and install in a VM. That's all the practice you need. Can't break anything, just wipe and try again until you get there.

I don't dislike it. I have no opinion on it. It's something I have never looked into heavily enough as it has never been a potential solution to a problem I may have encountered. There are no security or hardening areas that I currently class as gaps that need plugging in any of my systems where I would consider looking into selinux.

I built a fully open source multi-user live collaboration notes app, self host with docker, serve at root or a subpath, has an android, windows and Linux client app, plus the usual web UI.

Radicale on my server and davx5 on my android to sync contacts and calendar.

No mate. I wrote it all by myself pressing every key on my phone. Entirely my own opinion too.
