Bring on the chunked 🤘

There’s not much to it. You just use the determinate installer. Works great.

For simple use cases… Linux can actually be a lot more hands off and just works.

It’s actually pretty great for the grandparent use case.

I’ve been with Fedora for awhile now because I like the project and how it pushes things forward. Changed to Silverblue and never returned.

Now I’m using Bluefin because I like the little tweaks on top of Silverblue. Would recommend.

Have you checked out Aurora?

Bluefin, very happy. Nice toys on top of an atomic Silverblue base. Love the concept.

I suggest Autohotkey ;)

:q!

I tried it and it didn’t work well for me (can’t remember why, it was awhile ago).

Looks great. I’ll probably wait for a flatpak and try it out.

I’ve already automated Restic with bash scripts and systemd timers but… used to use Vorta with Borg and did like having a GUI.

I do with Mobius and it’s usable. I have a Synology NAS always there at home to sync to though. (Mobius syncs 1-2 hours per day in the background but it’s dynamic and not predictable thanks to Apple).

If I didn’t syncing between iOS devices would probably not work very well.

Yes instant syncing with iOS requires you to open the app if you can’t wait. I’ll often open Mobius if I’m working back and forth to make sure it syncs instantly.

You could probably create a Tailscale vpn network (or something similar) and setup Syncthing to use the Tailscale address of your laptop.

Obsidian + Syncthing is what I’ve settled on. Not perfect, but the best I’ve used.

Works great. Just remember syncing is not the same as a backup. Make sure you do backups!

Jellyfin really is free :p

Also on Roku with a recent update

I’d also suggest Tailscale, it’s how I access my Synology away from home.

I’ve setup wireguard before but… Tailscale is so damn easy. And no need to open ports!

Also keeps your base system clean if you uninstall (big reason why docker is so popular on servers). Can create custom environments for a project then just delete everything when you’re done.

Also very useful on immutable distros like Fedora Silverblue (all my command line programs and some gui programs are in a distrobox container, exported to the host so they are just there like normal).

The Distrobox assemble command allows you to install programs from a file and automatically export (unfortunately there’s some bugs I hope are fixed soon). So things can be declarative like nixos.

Computers facilitate piracy: ban all computers.

5 minutes after every computer boot to a NAS. Then nightly from the NAS to the cloud.
