One thing that surprises me is the level of “aha” moments using the additional apps. Gwenview and Okular have so many power-user-friendly shortcuts that are intuitive. Lot’s of “Oh that’s nice but it would be perfect if…” moments followed by seeing the option in the settings and/or programmable via a shortcut key
Hmmm. This is either tangentially-related or an extension of the same issue you experienced… but I started using the terminal within Kate this past week troubleshooting a .bash_aliases function error and noticed that it too was not updating its environment as expected, even after editing the file and running source ~/.bashrc.
I spent 30 minutes only to realize that all of my edits/source reloading were not registering within the Kate terminal for some reason, but were working as expected in Konsole. Once I shutdown Kate and restarted it, the issue was fixed but that seems like a bug and it makes me wary about leaning to heavily on the terminal within Kate (or any other KDE apps outside of Konsole)
Convenience is the main issue. AFAIK, as long as you secure your device, it’ll do the job
Not a huge deal, but if the SSD goes on to last for X more years, buying an SSD today to save a bit of time will seem pretty poorly thought-out in retrospect
Proprietary so it’s a long shot but maybe start a convo w/ the creator of Boring Report as a last ditch effort perhaps.
Great response 👍🏾
What surprised me was the amount of Android users. I guess self-hosters are predisposed to tinkering in general perhaps?
Didn’t we see similar snap memes yesterday and the day before?
Redirector did it for me. The I found out about libredirect and started using alternative front ends for everything. from there I switched over to Linux and that’s all she wrote
How’s it compare to gitea?
Definitely look into laptop servers. They have the benefit of having a built-in screen, keyboard and battery in case power goes down. IMO, as a fellow newbie, it’s an easy way to dip your toes into hosting using existing/cheap resources
Simple, yet better UX than most server-related content. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for sharing, I didn’t know about ctop.
I installed Debian on a laptop to use as a server, and planned to use it for Firefly III among other things, but got nervous hearing how tough it was/is to lock down a server.
Surprised there wasn’t a conspiratorial reference to covid testing in the meme tbh
Whoops, just remembered that I found the above course to be better suited for IT professionals/people with prior knowledge. Here is his course that I’m currently taking.
I find it to be much easier to follow than his prior-mentioned course
I’ve been using my library’s membership to LinkedIn Learning to take a Docker Essentials course
I’m still using public instances for now. I started w/ Piped but the buffer speed was lacking for most of the instances I used. Switched to Invidious and the buffer speed as amazing, albeit a lot more error messages that Google is blocking an instance temporariliy
Gotcha. Thanks for sharing. I ended up install forgejo yesterday but Gitea will be my next option if I encounter any issues
