On my desktop, I have about 200GB free, which is about 10%, which feels like the bare minimum, and the only reason I haven’t upgraded yet is that there’s some large directories I can archive should it be necessary.

On my server, I recently was down to about 500GB free, also about 10%, which made me add more drives.

So it’s all relative.

Like Fedora Silverblue or OpenSuSE Aeon/Kalpa?

I’m in Germany, and it works pretty fine. They’ve got several datacenters around here, never had an issue with speed or latency.

I don’t like that they got that evil megacorp vibe, but what big Internet firm doesn’t?

Well, I need to run two separate tunnels to not run into hairpinning issue, so, some weirdness, I guess. More down to my services, though.

Interesting. As I said, I never tried yunohost. I usually work with podman, and just assign local ports to pods, then route traffic to those ports internally, which seems to work fine.

Anyway, I feel like we won’t be solving OPs issue here. Still, interesting to see some of the problems people with different setups have to deal with.

Yeah, I feel like we’re missing some info here.

I have to admit that I have no experience with yuno. Always seemed interesting, but not like something that fits into my work flow.

If they’re self-hosting at home (which I’m also doing for some services), I’d presume they’re probably running their stuff on a single machine, so I’m not sure where their router would come Into it. The data the cloudflare tunnel process receives should look the same to the router no matter the port it is ultimately sent to, and when it is sent to an address internal to the machine, shouldn’t pass through the router again.

I presume they mean pointing their cloudflare tunnel to direct lemmy.example.com to http://localhost/:[port], and I don’t think there’s any special rules about that port from cloudflares site.

I use tunnels and ports in about that range for all my sites, and don’t have any problems.

You probably don’t need me to tell you, but keep good backups. Friend of mine recently had his account nuked without any reason given, and without the possibility of recourse.

I actually kinda did that. Sent a preconfigured thinkcentre to my mum that boots into the jellyfin media player, connects to my server via tailscale. Just had to plug it into power, lan, hdmi. Immutable, atomic system that looks for updates on boot, applies them on next reboot, and does a rollback and ping me if the update fails.

I have ssh access, and my brother lives nearby in case everything fails, that makes things easier.

I don’t think it’s necessarily worth it for anyone currently on Linux, but if they provide support and a warranty, it might be helpful for some folks who aren’t that computer savvy, but still sick of Windows.

I guess you could install cockpit (via Terminal, sorry, but it’s pretty straightforward and there are good guides). After that, you could use the cockpit web interface to deploy docker/podman containers. It’s a bit clunky sometimes, but it does the job purely in UI.

You can also manage updates, backups, etc via cockpit if you install the required modules.

As base, I’d use any stable Linux distro that’s reccomended for server use.

Edit: Comment was in wrong place, refiled as op level comment.

I use atomic distros on my server and a media centre, but don’t see any reason to do it on my main systems. Stability is fine, and atomic distros make said tinkering more difficult.

I’m sure it’s a common enough occurrence in a community with lots of computer nerds.

I do recognise that there are a lot of usecases in which Linux isn’t currently the sensible choice for most users, but I also feel the ready/not ready thing is quite as clear cut. While I’m obviously rather biased, I do genuinely think that there is a subset of casual users that would do better with Linux than with Windows.

I could talk about how Windows has been a lot more problematic for me than Linux, but that has been mainly down to driver issues with a specific network adapter, and we both know that isn’t the reason I prefer Linux anyway.

I’ve put Fedora on my mum’s pc after it became clear that Win10 will EoL soon, and that Win11 would refuse to run on it. Have had significantly fewer support requests since then.

Her work is mostly done via Citrix, which has an official Fedora Client. Everything else happens in the Browser, or sometimes in OnlyOffice, which so far has worked as a drop-in replacement for MS Office.

As always, it really depends on the use case.

Finally someone who actually uses a Vostro. Always found that name unreasonably funny.

I set up my current desktop while reading Gaiman’s The Sandman, so it’s called Morpheus. Because I felt I needed to keep with the theme, my laptop is hades, my phone persephone, my server apollo, my router helios, the media centre PC is orpheus, the pi that boots and updates it outside of usage hours is eurydice, and the pi that runs home assistant is zeus (because it’s responsible for light(n)ing.

Oh, and the work profile on my phone is sisyphos.

There’s also qobuz. They have a streaming service, but you can also straight up buy a lot of albums and download them drm free.

You activated my trap card! My sickness was but a simple ruse to lure you into complacency! Your attack was weak, unfocused! I jump up, standing on my bed, your face is now easy prey for my unnaturally sharp knees. The structural rigidity of your nose is now forfeit!

Oh, yeah, that also annoyed me. I actually meant the settings menu, though. I have set up KDE for friends/family a few times, and depending on screen size and scaling, even in conditions that shouldn’t be edge cases, there where sometimes scrollbars in both directions.

I also just, kinda don’t like the vibe, I guess? That’s extremely subjective, I know, just something I noticed every time I worked with KDE.

Well, use the time to try it, I guess.
