  • ~/workspace/git

    That way I can also keep other stuff in the same “workspace” directory and keep everything else clean

    I have a Code, simulations, ECAD, and FreeCAD folder in the workspace folder where projects or 1-offs are stored and when I want to bring them to git, I copy them over, play around in the project folders again, then copy changes over when I am ready to commit.

    I could better use branching and checking out in git, but large mechanical assemblies work badly on git.


  • KDE for my main PC. Pretty with floating panels, KDE Connect, QT apps are often the best apps in their class and are perfectly integrated (FreeCAD, krita, okular, kdenlive, vlc, dolphin, etc…) And konsole is also very full featured.

    I don’t know what KiCAD uses, but it also seems very well integrated into the KDE desktop unlike most gnome apps.

    XFCE on MX Linux for an old Intel Compute Stick to keep it very usable.


  • “Critical” as in not really needed.

    It is very bugged and constantly runs even if it isn’t doing anything. It will also max out your disk IO for hours at a time with an HDD for larger game storage.

    I have had it off for 1.5 years across 3 OS installs and have never had a problem with stuttering or shader related problems in that time. It is really not needed anymore for 95% of games since the Linux async solutions were merged.

    Maybe if one uses severely out of date kernels it is critical


  • That is a different usecase though. That is simply syncing local musical with a server.

    I do that too because i have an SD card. Just use Syncthing for that. Much faster and less hassle. You can use any music player on your phone that you want, not just one that works with jellyfin.

    If you aren’t streaming music in real time for the majority of time, then do a phone sync, not a streaming server.




  • Yeah, but as someone who had both bazzite and Opensuse MicroOS (Kalpa), it is even more of a long and painful process on that platform lol.

    Immutable OS’s are literally for people who specifically don’t want to tinker. Everything via flatpack except a few system-level apps layered on the base image.

    (Also they are for people who don’t need document digital signing as Firefox and libre office can’t access the modules via flatpak)

    If people want specific apps and don’t want to build them or use user space apps then it definitely isn’t their best option. Just a different option.

    I have very much enjoyed never even having to think about updating my system for months

    Kopia backup to secondary HDD

    • Pictures (phone photos backed up to my server via immich)
    • workspace (git repos, ECAD, MCAD, firmware, etc…)
    • qmk layout
    • Documents
    • vim folder with bundles
    • ebooks

    KDE vaults stores on secondary HDD

    Soon I will set up kopia to also back up every via SSH to my server and then small size essentials and important docs via google drive

    I need to set server cloud backups too, but haven’t had the time…

    I think it has to do with data differences between self hosters and data hoarders.

    Example: a self hosted with an RPI home assistant setup and a N100 server with some paperwork, photos, nextcloud, and a small jellyfin library.

    A few terabytes of storage and their goal is to replace services they paid for in an efficient manner. Large data transfers will happen extremely rarely and it would be limited in size, likely for backing up some important documents or family photos. Maybe they have a few hundred Mbit internet max.

    Vs

    A data hoarder with 500TB of raid array storage that indexes all media possible, has every retail game sold for multiple consoles, has taken 10k RAW photos, has multiple daily and weekly backups to different VPS storages, hosts a public website, has >gigabit internet, and is seeding 500 torrents at a given time.

    I would venture to guess that option 1 is the vast majority of cases in selfhosting, and 10Gb networking is much more expensive for limited benefit for them.

    Now on a data hoarding community, option 2 would be a reasonable assumption and could benefit greatly from 10Gb.

    Also 10Gb is great for companies, which are less likely to be posting on a self hosted community.
