It’s basically a linux distro that’s meant to appeal to Windows users who want to keep the Windows look and feel.

In other words, blasphemy in this church.

Thanks, that’s good to know. I’ve been curious about going with a tiling window manager for a while now.

Looks great. Kind of looks like the type of OS that they would make up for a movie about hackers. :D

Do you use i3 exclusively? Or do you have a more typical desktop environment for web browsing and such? And, if it’s the former, how do you like it?

Very clean! Also I had not heard of cava before, I’ll have to check that out.

I mean, a rusty USB port is pretty on-point here. It’s not often that the perfect stock photo pun exists, you have to take it when you get the chance.

There’s a photo of the back of the case here, which describes how to use it: https://immich.store/products/immich-retro

So it sounds like it’s a bootable Linux image, with Immich already set up on it.

I love the fact that they produced an installation DVD.

That looks great! And wow, that’s a nice wallpaper.

Ah, gotcha. That’s a use case I hadn’t thought of. Mine is just the photo backup for my current phone, so when I have my phone with me, I can see all of the photos on the phone itself.

I’m using immich and really like it, but I’m not using the Android app. I have synthing on my phone, and I let syncthing send the photos to my server. Then Immich detects the files in the syncthing folder.

Is there any benefit to using the app? Or would using the app be basically the same thing that I’m doing now?

My JSON export from wallabag is 46 megabytes. That’s for 2,465 articles.

I love how active the development on Linkwarden is. I still have all of my stuff in wallabag, but Linkwarden is tempting. I gave the hosted trial a try a few weeks ago, but my wallabag export was too big to import. Maybe I’ll try selfhosting it and manually increasing the max upload size this time.

Yep, that’s exactly what this is for. You use Linkwarden to bookmark things, though – it’s not for your browser bookmarks. But there’s a browser extension, so you’re still just clicking one button to bookmark things. And you can export your browser bookmarks and then import them in Linkwarden.

That’s definitely it for me. I have one Windows computer remaining, my gaming PC in my living room. And every few weeks, when I turn it on, I get the full-screen “let’s finish setting up Windows” wizard, which wants me to subscribe to Office 365 and OneDrive. This PC is six years old; it’s set up already. I’m going to install Bazzite pretty soon.

So THAT’S what those “not actually a video but plays like a video” text demos are. This is so cool.

For those haven’t read the article, “system requirements” here means the minimum version of various system libraries, like openssl. It doesn’t mean “system requirements” like in a video game – you don’t need to upgrade your PC to use the new systemd version.

Wow, thank you for this response. I hadn’t thought of tracking music preferences as a tool for self discovery.

I’ve been thinking about setting up a scrobble server, but haven’t been sure what I would do with it. What do you use the information for? Does it affect how you listen?

Realized last week that my fail2ban settings are too strict – I get banned immediately if I visit my funkwhale (music server) domain without being logged in. In fact, I think much of my “downtime” might have actually just been me banning myself for 15 minutes now and then…

I was thinking about getting rid of Grafana, which is overkill for my server, and replacing it with Logdy this weekend, but didn’t get around to it.

I’m kind of surprised that it’s only 51 GB. They’re all FLAC files ripped from CDs – I was expecting like 300 GB at least.

So apparently this 1TB SSD is going to last me a while. :P
