One downside on a laptop is reduced battery life.

I tried Ghostty briefly before, but you have to really try hard to notice preformance difference over Konsole.

Cool idea, but not useful for those that spend all day in a terminal imnho.

Doesn’t work for every use case, but perfect for mine. I was just pointing out other options.

Valid points. I use it for my media collection I can easily restore and won’t miss. Cache would be sort of nice to have and redundancy would just be wasting space.

Mergerfs can do that too and you can keep the underlying fs as whatever you want.

Eye exam later would make you feel even worse lol

What issues? I’m pretty much 100% ipv6 on all ubiquity equipment.

I’ve had zero compatibility issues (other than garbage docking stations using display link) but I was always just buying Dell. I just tried an Asus and have a ton of problems. Hardware is still an issue on Linux unless you’re using the most common shit.

Daily driving OpenSuse for ~20 years.

It’s relatively inexpensive and makes life much easier for people who are not tech savvy. Your position is that of an incredibly egoistic person that never had to help an older relative or dealt with an adult who doesn’t have time for random bs during an hour or so of downtime most people get in a day.

If spending hours trying to figure out which “free” streaming service had not gotten shot down today and magically has the content you want is worth less to you than a one time payment of a few bucks to plex, then you really don’t value your time.

Yup. Been using it for about 20 years now. It is more popular in Europe, but I wouldn’t call it a small player in US either.

This anecdote without any context certainly makes OpenSuse a low key player in OS game.

Desktop config has very little to do with OS since most are running kde or gnome and those handle all that.

OpenSUSE is very well known and had btrfs snapshots for a very long time. I’ve used this feature several times to undo updates and it is extremely easy and best of all works perfectly without user having to configure anything.

I would not be surprised. I’ve done it many times including complicated setups with different databases as replica slaves.

I’m now seeing a lot of new projects that don’t care much about DB backend since the library they use to wrap sql calls obscures all that stuff anyway, but I promise you mysql to Maria is a much more common and straightforward transition than to postgresql.

Huh? Postgresql is not mysql compatible. Mariadb is very popular in a ton of businesses around the world as a not stupidly expensive sql database with great support.

No, but I thought I clarified that when I said it’s basically wireguard VPN which operates using tcp/udp (layer 3.) layer 7 is stuff like https. CF tunnels are lower level.

Page you linked is missing the layer between CF and source server so it doesn’t indicate layer. You can lookup wireguard protocol if you want more details.

CF tunnels are layer 3, not 7 and they have support for web sockets. It’s basically wireguard VPN with a few extras built on top.

Public registration has nothing to do with federation. My instance required admin approval for all new registrations. Illegal content is much more likely to come through federation than from inside.

IMHO, the few reasons to host your own instance largely disappeared with 0.19 and the risks were never worth the rewards to run a tiny instance. Things are likely to continue improving with future releases. Which is why sdf.org became my main.

Your biggest fear should be something like the CSAM attack from a few months ago. I doubt you have tens of thousands to spend on a lawyer.

That’s why I killed my instance.

On one hand I hate that legit users are punished for the actions of few cunts selling massive plex libraries and using Hetzner because of cheap storage and unlimited transfer, but I sort of understand that plex doesn’t want to be associated with piracy (lol).

On the other, fuck Plex. Seems trivial to detect these massive libraries with hundreds of “friends” and just shut those down. Seems insane to block a whole fucking provider over this. I’ve been a paid subscriber since day one and then bought a lifetime pass, but this dumb move is making me consider other products.

But on third hand, I don’t really care because I use tailscale so I almost never use the plex’s proxy anyway.

Using it on multiple servers and in small scale prod deployment. Works like a charm.

podman-compose is also usable although noticeably unfinished.
