Same here. Curiosity which changed in time to my work.
I even was using win10 + wsl in company, but after time of adding crapware + forced win11 update (downgrade) I just said “gimme Linux laptop”. Gave up totally, useless for me
On personal hardware - Linux is first choice, omly gaming pc is Windows based.
Hello. I just want to ask, I already tried search many resources, but I still can’t find a way to reduce battery drain while sleep on Ubuntu on Dell laptop....
Have it on work laptop… It wakes laptop for random things, if I put it in backpack I can find empty battery in the morning… Nope, s0ix does not work at all on windows anyway.
And it could be that corporate bloatware is breaking it. I know, and I wasted some time looking if it’s possible to use S3 state (nope, it’s not on hardware I got -,-)
I recently discovered that you can get Microsoft Edge for Linux (🤢🤮) and am curious… does anyone here use Edge for Linux, or have you ever? What was your reasoning for using it?...
It’s not chrome / chrome-based. We need to have any choice. As Chrome is very, very loved by corporations, and Firefox hated… it means that for personal use it’s the best browser available.
Tested dozen recently… And nothing was so much better to change the default one of KDE.
Used to urxvt (when I was using tilling vm on desktop pc). Used gnome-terminal when I was on cinnamon. I switched to KDE year or so ago and I’m using Konsole. It really does not matter that much, I only need tab support and 256 colors.
There seem to be plentiful options for text chat servers, so I’m curious for those that self-host their own, what their preferences & experiences have been with them....
Used to xmpp, but it died naturally over the time and someday I just stopped my prosody server. Nowadays - a bit of IRC (few friends still are there) and discord (not selfhosted, but from all the alternatives… feels best).
Funny how many people are joking around those weird activities for some of the meetings like stickers, 2 truths 1 lie, etc etc etc. And we still do it.
According cameras - it’s easier, but in my team we never forced anyone.
I’m trying to find a good method of making periodic, incremental backups. I assume that the most minimal approach would be to have a Cronjob run rsync periodically, but I’m curious what other solutions may exist....
Is it just me or the backup topic is recurring each few days on !linux and !selfhosted?
To be on topic as well - I use restic+autorestic combo. Pretty simple, I made repo with small script to generate config for different machines and that’s it. Storing between machines and b2.
Earlier this year, I built a new PC and it’s running Ubuntu. I’ve been installing various apps and configuring them since then. Now, I realize I don’t have any way of knowing what I would want to reinstall, if I (for instance) lost this drive somehow....
+1, essential ones I keep in GitHub repository (like zsh, tmux, xdefaults configs with no personal data). With makefile that makes symlinks. This is the easiest way to sync zsh config between my personal and work machines.
Probably switching container from gitea to forgejo will just work… I recently switched my deployment, “issues” I had with postgres, but it was related to updates on helm-chart part (gitea upgraded postgres as well, so either update or switch made me same work to do).
I just started getting into self hosting using docker compose and I wonder about possible backup solutions. I only have to safe my docker config so far, but I want host files as well. What software and hardware are you using for backup?
I have a home server that I’m using and hosting files on it. I’m worried about it breaking and loosing access to the files. So what method do you use to backup everything?
Data goes from one server to second server, and vice versa (different provider, different geolocation). And to backblaze B2 - as far as I know cheapest s3-like storage

I’m reconsidering my terminal emulator and was curious what everyone was using.
