This is a really good point - us “believers” probably don’t glance at the negativity because we know it’s (generally) incorrect, but how others perceive it can be hard to convince if all they read is negativity.
Consider that most people know a laptop runs an OS, so they can distinguish “Dell” from “Microsoft”, so I’m often baffled why people stuggled when moving from WinXP to Vista / 7 (ie a whole new experience… and often asking where to get a hacked version for free), but when I suggest putting <insert distro here> then they run away.
I often hear folks in the Linux community discussing their preference for Arch (and Linux in general) because they can install only the packages they want or need - no bloat....
Just out of curiosity, I presume a full backup (inside HA, not of the VM itself) can be restored to a completely new HA VM and everything returns? Addons? Integrations? HACS?
Of course, but IMHO it’s worth checking the alternatives first before requesting an “obvious” (but only to me) feature that someone spends hours of their free time working on…
I was orignally hoping that the built-in mute could be scheduled, so that might be a suggestion.
So far DnD appears to be the option for me, now that I’ve thought about it more (after reading these comments) rather than trying to pause ntfy, gotify, etc…
I noticed that I only had 5 GiB of free space left today. After quickly deleting some cached files, I tried to figure out what was causing this, but a lot was missing. Every tool gives a different amount of remaining storage space. System Monitor says I’m using 892.2 GiB/2.8 TiB (I don’t even have 2.8 TiB of storage...
If this gives you an idea for an alternative app I’d love to hear it.
I don’t have any direct experiences with kanban, but I ditched nc because I found that no-one used the web UI and it was just a complex file, calendar and contact sync. Replacing nc with syncthing and radicale made no impact to the users and saved me a whole heap of misery upgrading and maintaining nc. If those can support your kanban needs, then… just sayin’…
Hey All, I am just getting started in my journey. Part of my goals is to de-google my life and am looking to start with my calendar. I want to to sync with my laptop and my phone. I was going to start reading about nextcould because it seems like it would have the stuff I need and more. My question is what does the community...
Er. Am I the only one to comment that this is a refreshing change to all the displays in shops, airports, etc that show the many ways that Windows errors and BSODs?
Linux on the desktop? Hell no, it’s on 80’ billboards.
What was the first ever distro you installed and used? For me, it was Mint as I seemed like the closest thing to Windows minus all the forced updates and chappy changes....
I have many nerdy friends who have been Linux users for ages. But most of them don’t know such a thing as Openwrt exists or have never bothered to give it a try. It’s a very fun piece of software to play with and can be extremely useful for routing traffic. Wondering why it isn’t more popular/widely used.
IMO, I’d run pf/opnsense on an x86 box, but openwrt on a low powered device…
Did that years ago with a pfSense firewall connected to the DSL modem, with OpenWrt APs around the house…until the hardware couldn’t support the next version of OpenWrt… (not enough RAM?)
I use rEFInd as my boot manager and sometimes I like to dual boot a new linux distro (just to try out) which I install with a live USB. Unfortunately, after installing, GRUB has always taken the reigns and it becomes a slight inconvenience to get back to rEFInd every time....
I tried to use rEFInd years ago on my first UEFI machine, gave up and ended with GRUB… maybe it was just a crap setup and I need to try again…
But, how about backing up just the boot sectors / EFI partition with a dd command and then just restoring it again? Not a slick solution, I agree
TBH, if a distro doesn’t give me options during install then I’d probably stop there as every update to GRUB could be automatically installed and blat your machine again.
For those who selfhost their music services, what are your must have plugins for beets and/or Musicbrainz
I’m curious what plugins people like the most and find the most useful.

When do you consider a system to be bloated?

Always have a backup ready, go check now
I thought I had a backup. I use the Gdrive add-on and it should have had a backup....

As a linux user, do you know about/use openwrt?

Install Linux distros without grub??
I use rEFInd as my boot manager and sometimes I like to dual boot a new linux distro (just to try out) which I install with a live USB. Unfortunately, after installing, GRUB has always taken the reigns and it becomes a slight inconvenience to get back to rEFInd every time....
I need a distro that can work right out the box without too much hassle to configure it, which one would you recommend?
Thx in advice.
