I have a docker compose immich that I somehow managed to kill fourteen minutes after convincing my wife to switch to it.

I’m a bit farther along, but it’s all been trial and error (and error, and error…) So, commenting because I would also like some of this info. My DNS is a disaster! Still using IPs to access my VMs, mostly.

Oh, I’ve done messes like this… I had a machine whose UEFI had like five things on it. This doesn’t solve it all, but I really like refind for taking care of whacky multi boot scenarios. Just install it and it scans all the drives in a system for OSes and gives you a menu on startup.
There are various VM solutions out there to handle running one-off windows programs, by the way. I have a copy of Win11 inside a Proxmox VM that runs those few times I need desktop Office for something specific. I’m sure others will come in with better solutions, but those are the ones I’ve used.

I have an original framework. I swapped the RAM and SSD in seconds. The add-on ports make changing functions trivial. I swap my HDMI to a wired Ethernet port on the regular, and the expansion cards actually work through a dock, too. I really like it. It does throw the odd “USB port has malfunctioned” error from time to time, but it’s quite rare.

Back when I first started with NextCloud, it was pretty unresponsive on the web front end for my ebook collection, which was a ton of small files. It’s gotten a whole lot better in the last year or so. Now, I don’t worry about it. This is also with a very badly set up copy. I’m sure that a proper install would work much better, too.

I have a couple of friends with nextcloud, and I have nextcloud too. Low tech ish? But we just host our files on Nextcloud and then copy backups to the other machines every now and then.

My NC uses about 6gb of RAM, and it is really badly optimized, since it’s been running forever and isn’t a container, or even a server deploy. (It’s a snap running in desktop Ubuntu since 2016.)

Anyone could do better, I just can’t be bothered.

My buddy has his running on 1.5GB of RAM in a container.

I also host a bunch of other stuff. Navidrome and freshrss get the most use, other than Nextcloud. Immich, searx-ng, jellyfin, guacamole.

No Sudo apt update. sudo dnf upgrade -y && sudo flatpak upgrade -y

…but don’t stop!

And… Comedy!

Needles make me faint. They don’t hurt too much, but… If I see one going in, the next thing I generally see is people crowded around trying to revive me. Hell, I just started to see stars! I’m lying down, for eff sake! It’s not blood either, I’ve been first on the scene a few times now and given first aid to some pretty messed up injuries. I had a headache injection once, and the doctor mixed the drug with a giant needle as a stir stick, and he didn’t even get the real needle out before I was face down on the floor.

The magic eye thing is my superpower. Takes me less than a second. If it helps, many of them are so terribly done it still takes me a second to figure out what they were trying to draw.

(It wasn’t a sailboat.)

The A&W veggie burger is just as good. It’s funny to order it with bacon, (not a vegetarian, just like to moderate beef.) I’ve had a Beyond Meat burger, but it was from a cafeteria that clearly didn’t know how to cook.

My first gen Framework 13: Fingerprint reader, check! (Fedora KDE). Screen, ports, performance, check! Sound, WAY better than my ThinkPad. Touchpad… cough cough

I’ve always found that there’s generally a new way to do things in Linux, but I rarely have issues. I have an Acer Nitro laptop with a Ryzen integrated AMD graphics and then an Nvidia 3060, and I had to look up how to install the drivers, which was rpmfusion, click, click, done. Instead of the usual launcher for games, it’s either Steam or Lutris. The only real bitch of a thing was some school stuff. Like, gnomes boxes handles all my virtualization, but school demanded VMware Workstation, which was legitimately a pain on Fedora. Likewise, Microsoft Teams. But web Office was fine, Libre locally… I get hella better frame rates on MHW in Linux than Windows. I didn’t pick the machine for its Linux compatibility, it just worked.

Matt & Steve’s spicy pickled beans. So good! Whole jar down the hatch, one sitting.

I just did three nodes this evening from 8.4.1 to 9, no issues other than a bit of farting around with my sources.list files.

Not noticing anything significant, but I haven’t tried the mobile interface yet.

I was going to say this.

Never more in my life have I wanted to send a stranger a larger hard drive.

I like the infinite playlist on Lemmy. Lots of good stuff there!

This guy. He’s right.
