It’s still better than no sandbox at all, isn’t it? And who installs their OS on an HDD in 2024?

6 years ago Proton was a thing. It worked out of the box with Steam games like it does today. Yes not everything was gold rated on protondb but it worked fine. I’ve been gaming on Linux since 2018.

postgresql db (e.g. in Docker) + Dbeaver as GUI client

ZFS encryption works fine but AFAIK it’s complicated to do full disk encryption (for the OS drive) - this is easy to do with with luks. ZFS is not complicated and just works - at least that was my experience. There is also a lot of help available online.

Yes, exactly. I push photos into the “import folder” of Photoprism. I don’t manually trigger the re-index but I restart photoprism at night using a cronjob. I am not using settings like “PHOTOPRISM_AUTO_IMPORT”. Contact me if you need me to investigate more.

I’m uploading to a directory using syncthing. It’s working perfectly fine without any scripts. I’m running Photoprism in a docker container.

Thank you, appreciated!

Still can’t see it :(

Signal is probably the best option because it’s as easy to setup as Telegram and others.

You don’t need to compile and run with the same jdk version. Dunno why you think this.

You can do that with ZFS. It’s built-in integrierty check will automatically heal errors and tell you what drive has gone bad.

I can also recommend zfs on debian. Even if you only using two disks you will be still protected from bit rot.

I can recommend dockprom. It comes with grafana preconfigured.

ZFS is rigid? Please explain

Is it possible to build a minimal image for my home server without gnome etc? Thank you!

I love Debian, but isn’t testing frozen for some time before the release of the next stable? I think during the freeze you won’t even get security updates.

Salty arch users downvoting… smh

Thank you for explaining and sharing your journey.

Regarding 1: A system not booting anymore really is a major issue. Maybe I was lucky to not have encountered that, maybe didn’t happen because I use a custom kernel. Regarding the certs: Honestly I don’t really care about the Manjaro website. The certs of the package repositories are important to me though.

Regarding 2: I’m using the AUR to install some third-party applications like “gpu-screen-recorder”. If you use it for system packages it will cause problems, because the Manjaro repos are delayed on purpose. One would encounter the same problem when using Debian stable and installing system stuff from a PPA.

Can you elaborate what didn’t work on Manjaro? Just curious, I’ve been using it on my gaming rig for over 5 years without problems.

Get a mainboard and CPU supporting ECC ram. Combine it with ZFS as the file system. With this setup you are safe from bitrot.
