At some point I’d rather just carry a power bank when I go camping or something instead of carrying a huge phone daily

https://linkwarden.app/

I’ve been meaning to install linkwarden to replace using Firefox bookmarks, I haven’t tried it yet but looks great

Whatever I can hit the super key and type what program I want. If it can open a browser steam or dark table, the rest doesn’t matter much. I was on crunchbang++ then popOS then fedora now I’m on arch with hyprland

When i first started self hosting i went through several reinstalls of unraid until I finally got my method down and had a better understanding of what I was doing.

I recently did the same thing with arch on my laptop. The past like two weeks I reinstalled arch like 6 times until I knew what I wanted and how to do it from my notes, I went from arch with plasma to i3wm and now to hyprland so now I can do a minimal install to hyprland and get everything up and going to the point I felt confident enough to do the same to my main home desktop

No i don’t but some of them send me money every once in a while just because they use plexripper to download from my server to theirs, I’m going to be running the server anyways so people using it feels better than it sitting idle

I use plex mainly but run jellyfin alongside it for people that watch on mobile.

I started with my old desktop that had an Intel cpu with quicksync and put unraid on it, i started with 2tb disk and gradually switched over to 14tb drives now I’m at 100tb total storage.

I have several famy friends coworkers using it now, at first no one was really interested but as streaming prices went up and content got more dispersed people started jumping on board.

Now multiple friends setup their own servers so its really good coverage especially if I need to take mine down for maintenance the wife can keep watching stuff from other people’s servers.

Things you need to find out is if you are behind a cgnat or other isp issues

Wow how did they get that cpu in there

Ive been looking at those anker solix battery systems they supposedly can be used as a ups but haven’t looked into how well and you can plug solar panels into them which was my original goal to reduce the power usage from the grid at least for part of the day

I used nextcloud to replace Google drive, i was using the calendar but ended up using the protonmail one instead

I was using popos regular LTS for about a year and always worked fine, no fuss getting nvidia drivers setup or anything.

I recently moved over to arch btw and using hyprland so its been pretty rough trying to get things working like I had on pop

I have immich machine learning and ollama with openwebui

I use immich search a lot to find things like pictures of the side of the road to post on my community !sideoftheroad@lemmy.today

I almost never use the ollama though, not really sure what to do with it other than ask it dumb questions just to see what it says

I use the duckduckgo one when it auto has an answer to something I searched but its not too reliable

So now I’m curious what distro you like most? I’ve been using popos for about a year at this point then tried fedora for about a week and now installed arch to feel around

Get steam-headless running on there

I’m still pretty new to Linux so I break stuff pretty often, like recently I was trying to get opencl working with my amd gpu and I ended up causing every video I played to stutter constantly.

And I’ve been trying out new software to control fans or rgb and following guides making me enter commands until I figure out something that works I note it down so when I do a fresh install again I can easily configure it without all the trial and error etc and install only the software I found that I liked

That plus distro hopping

I usually keep important stuff on my server but things like games and stuff I purge with the fresh install and just download the games I’m actively playing, also helps clear up any issues from installing random junk during the months between as I settle on what programs I like

That’s when you know it’s time for a fresh install
