Talos is amazing and if you want to start from a fully automated setup (GitOps, Renovate), I highly recommend using https://github.com/onedr0p/cluster-template

Glad you found your ideal selfhosting setup!

Enjoy!

Dococd + renovate goes brrr

It would be nice if you used Lemmy’s builtin “crosspost” feature: that way you can share across communities to reach everyone, but (some) client software we use won’t show it to us 7 times, because it knows it’s the same post.

Now I get this:

Lobsters and shrimps have feelings too 😟

€10 donated to Shrimp Welfare Project likely does more to reduce animal suffering than going completely vegan for a year.

Docker Compose is really the easiest way to self-host.

Copy a file, usually provided by the developers of the app you want to run, change some values if instructed by the # comments, run docker compose up and it “just works”.

And I say that as someone who has done everything from distro-provided packages to compiling from source, Nix, podman systemd, and currently running a full-blown multi-node distributed storage Kubernetes cluster at home.

Just use docker compose.

Sure, you can buy Windows 11 Pro and follow these steps, or just install any modern Linux distro and tick the box “encrypt disk” in the installer.

It provides a way to share “web” pages (text, images, links) that can be read by a simple minimal client. Without needing a web browser

it’s not the prompt that’s the issue

No it’s not, it’s the underlying philosophy/expectation that you want to be aware of and in control of every single package/library that’s installed on your system.

And that is not true for the vast majority of people who are getting CachyOS as a recommendation when they search for a “Linux for gaming”.

I think CachyOS is great, and I use it myself, in spite of the ArchLinux base, but I know the pain it brings and have consciously accepted that, and I have fallback plans: I make sure it is easy to re-install my system without losing my home dir or game files. I could even pull in all the important stuff in my home dir from my dotfiles repo.

But this is something you have to want.

On the other hand, I did have to compile xpadneo from source on my wife’s Mint pc in order for her to be able to use an Xbox controller, because there is no deb or PPA of it. So far for Ubuntu-based distros being “GUI only”. On Arch, you could install it from AUR through a GUI.

This is why I think we shouldn’t recommend any (mutable) ArchLinux distro to gamers who come fresh from Windows. Including CachyOS.

Not implying you are one, IDK your experience level, but these kinds of prompts being shown to the user about packaging are a core feature of ArchLinux. This can happen anytime you update an Arch-based system.

What an emotional rollercoaster of a blog: pride, sadness, nostalgia, anger and pride again.

Wow

Yeah I’ve been getting deprecation warnings about that every time I start ./the-beach It still has a runtime dependency on AMOC

AMOC doing some heavy lifiting

PostmarketOS allows you to use upstream Linux

Old PCs are plenty powerful and compatible with everything, but if energy consumption is a major concern, an old phone can work too.

You are 100% right that Android is a very weird Linux and Termux is limited.

PostmarketOS is a project that enables installation of a full upstream Linux onto old phones. Then you can run whatever (ARM-supporting) distro you like on it, without weird kernel limitations.

Wow, amazing!

There are some good answers there already
