dartanjinn,

Luckily most distros still support legacy bios.

dartanjinn,

Since when is Gnome the default? The default varies by distro…

dartanjinn,

What doesn’t make sense is your use of the term “offline editor” - it’s entirely nonsensical in this context. If they can’t use an offline editor, they won’t be any better with an online editor. It’s like saying you need a 4 door car because you can’t drive a 2 door car - it’s the same thing with more seats. Photo editing is photo editing regardless of where the software is hosted.

dartanjinn,

Just use imgflip.com - that’s all it does is add text to images.

dartanjinn,

I use Tailscale on PFsense. Just advertise the route to the local subnet and accept routes on whatever machine you’re accessing from and you’ve got yourself a pretty much plug and play solution.

dartanjinn,

Are you using /etc/resolv.conf?

I don’t use proton but I found with tailscale it’s much more stable to use systemd-resolved because it doesn’t overwrite resolv.conf. I don’t know if this is the case with proton as I don’t know how it treats different resolvers but I would look into it.

dartanjinn,

Both Wayland and Pipewire have been the direct cause of unusable VMs. Replacing them with Xorg and Pulse makes all the VMs usable again. This has been the case in VMWare, Virtualbox, and Hyper-V. VMs in Proxmox have been less problematic but still problematic.

dartanjinn,

ZimaBoard 832 with two 2TB SSDs and OMV is my setup. Pair it with tailscale for availability wherever you go.

I wasn’t a fan of Immich. Although I’m trying to replace Google photos soy opinion is a bit skewed.

How do you organize your DHCP clients?

I’m setting up DHCP reservations on my home network and came up with a simple schema to identify devices: .100 is for desktops, .200 for mobiles, .010 for my devices, .020 for my wife’s, and so on. Does anyone else use schemas like this? I’ve also got .local DNS names for each device, but having a consistent schema feels...

dartanjinn,

Son, I think it’s time you learn about vlans.

dartanjinn,

How small a client list are we talking? If it’s that small, then that would beg the question, why would you need dedicated ranges in the first place?

dartanjinn,

I’m not saying in anyway that what you’re doing is in anyway wrong. It’s good that you’re thinking the way you are. Just saying, if you’re in this frame of mind now, it’s a good time to look at vlans. Think dedicated ranges with the benefit of reduced traffic saturation.

dartanjinn,

I didn’t say they would. I said it’s a good time to learn.

dartanjinn,

Are there any machines in use anymore that don’t support UEFI? When did it become standard? Something like 2012?

dartanjinn,

I didn’t even wait for expiration. I went ahead and moved all of mine into Cloudflare last night.

dartanjinn,

I have a zx01 or something like that from AliExpress with an N100 and 16GB. Those little machines are seriously impressive. It’s running Garuda and my son has not complained once about any game he’s tried to play. I don’t play games, I just bought it on a whim cause it’s tiny and $150 or so. I’ve run several systems on it without a hitch. I’m pretty certain it’ll hose a Minecraft server without an issue.

dartanjinn,

I’m currently using Arch and doing the same thing. I learned more than a decade ago not to even bother with asking questions to the community at large. Bunch of self righteous dicks they are.

dartanjinn,

👋 Hi!

dartanjinn,

I currently have it running on a Zimaboard 216 which has a Celeron N3450 processor. Runs perfectly fine. Also have an instance running in proxmox with 2 cores and 1GB. Runs perfectly fine. I don’t know what the documented requires are but I can say from experience, it doesn’t need much.

dartanjinn,

This guy makes some of the best Linux content on the Internet. This walk through is spot on and if you’re having trouble with the written guide, watch the video and you can do it along with him in several different scenarios. I can’t say enough good things about his content.

learnlinux.tv/arch-linux-full-installation-guide/

dartanjinn,

Can you not learn by extrapolation?

Watch the video if you want greater detail.

dartanjinn,

pfSense on a ZimaBoard 216 works astonishingly well and it’s easy to setup and manage. Toss in a Mikrotik CSS610 and you have a vlan ready setup in under an hour.

If you don’t like the ZimaBoard, you can go with any of the Topton style router PCs from AliExpress for a couple hundred and have a 2.5Gb router running in proxmox with docker in a separate VM.

dartanjinn,

CTRL + D

dartanjinn,

I’m thinking about getting into tinfoil hat manufacturing cause they’re about to sell out.

dartanjinn,

The packages aren’t “out of date.” Brand new and broken vs verified working.

dartanjinn,

I like OMV. It’s simple and to the point. TrueNAS is far too complicated and robust for basic home use, IMO. It’s like driving a tank to work. OMV does the job most people need. Nextcloud is cool but, again, a little to expansive for what I need. I’m not really going to use the included office tools or any of that. I just want remotely available storage. OMV + Tailscale + PiVPN means my backups and stored data are available anywhere, on any device including my phone. Nextcloud streamlines that availability but, again, just too much going on. TrueNAS is an enterprise product and feels like it. Not my cup of tea.

dartanjinn,

Cloudflare tunnel is the simple answer here. Yourdomain.com points to the public instance, private.yourdomain.com points to the private instance. All you need to do is install cloudflared on any always on machine on your network and point the URLs to the internal IPs of the machines hosting the services.

The other suggestions here are fine but Cloudflare is the easiest solution to what you want plus it’s free and simple to setup and maintain.

dartanjinn,

At all three tiers (low, mid, and high end), out of those three available brands, you always want brother.

Where can I learn Docker fundamentals?

I jumped into Docker feet first a few months ago and have not had a real good time with it. Networking doesn’t make sense, I can’t ever seem to access config files without dropping to su -, all the tutorials and videos I find are pretty top level and assume the user already has a firm grasp on it. It’s great for drop in...

dartanjinn,

Thanks I’ll look into that. It doesn’t help that my introduction to Docker was using portainer so I haven’t really had much experience in the terminal outside of docker ps. I really put the cart before the horse there and am regretting it.

dartanjinn,

I think that might be exactly what I was looking for. Thank you.

dartanjinn,

“like mini lightweight VMs”

That’s exactly how I’ve approached it cause that’s exactly how it was explained. But it’s not at all like that. Thanks for your explanation.

dartanjinn,

Huge thanks for this. I’ll look at them tonight.

dartanjinn,

Yeah I spent a few hours with Podman before I went straight back to Docker.

dartanjinn,

Yeah Dashy isn’t really important to me, it’s just another fun project to learn more about Docker. However, what I learned is that I don’t know shit about what I’m doing lol. It proved to be a great tool at exposing my absolute ignorance of something I thought I was getting a good grasp on.

Yeah I think I’m gonna shit can Portainer and go through that LinkedIn course someone else posted. Thanks for your insight.

dartanjinn,

Docker-compose got it done. Once I learned about Volumes and using compose to pass in volumes from other instances I was able to pass in a directory with a custom yaml to the Dashy container then pass the same directory into the code-server container and both are working as I expected they should. Compose and volumes were the missing pieces. I also learned that stacks is how to use compose in Portainer. Not sure why they felt the need to change the naming but it works.

dartanjinn,

Cloudflare tunnel is the easy solution here. It’ll cost you a couple bucks a year for a domain name but you’ll have no more DNS issues.

dartanjinn,

I’m running casa on Debian on a pi 4. I have three drives attached, two in an external enclosure and one nvme in an Argon nvme case. The last update the two external drives disconnected and won’t reconnect. Last night I took another update and today the nvme is disconnected and doesn’t show up in lsblk of fdisk. I’m pretty sure I’m gonna stop using casa all together. Two updates in a row and three drives lost.

dartanjinn,

Yeah they’re USB attached. I was using the combine storage function on the two external drives but not the nvme. I figured that was the issue for the two in the enclosure but the nvme going mia after this latest update is suspect.

dartanjinn,

I can second this. I’ve had two bricked System 76 systems because the DC jack burned itself right off the board.

dartanjinn,

TL;DR: ChromeOS is Linux but it’s not Linux but it’s a Linux so count it as a Linux but not Linux. Half.

dartanjinn,

As does the author’s head.

Workspaces / Virtual Desktops – do you use them on your laptop, desktop, or both?

About 4 years ago I got a 13.3" Thinkpad laptop to replace an old Chromebook for portable development, and installed Arch + i3 on it (btw). After a bit of ricing the configs, it started feeling really homey. I love using workspaces here! They feel perfectly suited for laptop screens which have minimal space, allowing me to keep...

dartanjinn,

I use workspaces regularly. Typically a browser in one, terminal in one, and the third is where I put whatever else I’m currently working with which could be dolphin and maybe gimp or an IDE, whatever the other is might be in the moment but browser and full screen terminal in separate workspaces are daily standard.

dartanjinn,

I run in a VM everyday for work since they won’t let me install Linux directly and Wayland and Pipewire have been problematic for me. Video playback is pretty choppy (which I don’t need, but it’s not a smooth experience) and if I want to get sound out of the VM I have to move back to pulse. It’s been pretty frustrating. Systems, though - haters can stuff it. Systemd is good.

dartanjinn,

Isn’t Ubuntu Pro free for individuals?

dartanjinn,

Can you elaborate on this?

dartanjinn,

Arch and Debian. I have two home PCs with all my data on an smb share. One runs Debian 12, the other runs Arch. When I sit down I decide which I want to use and go. I couldn’t pick one I liked better so…I didn’t.

dartanjinn,

I always thought the Red Hat business model was based around service and support with the OS being a secondary product which is why the free forks existed. When did the OS become the product?

dartanjinn,

No, I have no issue with pacman, it’s the “garuda-update” script I don’t care for. I see endeavour has eos-update which I haven’t really looked at much but in Garuda if use “pacman -Syu” it will interrupt with “Garuda uses garuda-update for updates” - I know it’s trivial and I don’t have to use it but I don’t like that. Don’t interrupt my workflow to try and coerce me to use your script. Yes, it’s a petty gripe but it feels very microsoft-like in the same way that Windows 11 will delay the launch of Firefox to tell you “Edge was built for Windows.”
