Wild how you happened to have this totally original idea days after this exact diagram structure was in a video posted by a channel with 3M subscribers :) crazy coincidence
There’s something to practicing with the operating system family that most big commercial outfits use. Plus SELinux is neat, and there’s no Canonical ads.
I use Fedora with home-manager, btw. After using Arch and Debian for years I really think Fedora (or adjacent like Nobara) is on its way to being the de facto starter distro.
I use my Framework 13 (Intel 12th gen) for some heavy CPU workloads and it’s been a champ! For the balance of quality, performance, cost, and repairability I really don’t think it can be beat.
I keep finding new apps, so I’ll keep sharing! Tonight’s fish on the hook, is an Audiobook client for Jellyfin and AudioBookShelf, written in Swift/SwiftUI....
I’m currently running both a home server and a VPS. The former is not reachable through the internet, only through vpn. The latter hosts public services....
My solution is to use Rathole. I rent a wildly cheap (2 core, 4GB memory) VPS and basically just run Traefik there. Then I use Rathole to make some services hosted on my desktop available to Traefik.
I like this solution better than Wireguard for my application. It reduces attack surface to services you’ve explicitly set up, rather than a full data layer trunk between your machine and a potential malicious actor.
So Ive been using nixos with gnome for almost a year now and things have been pretty smooth, it’s just amazing, I never looked back since I started using it. So to make things more interesting and learn stuff I am trying to install hyprland, Ive no idea what window manager, compositor etc are, I have few questions Will...
To add on to this already good description, wanted to give my $0.02 on the notion of apps.
The only way it might seem like you lose app(lication shortcut)s might be if a tool other than GNOME’s built in search is looking in a different directory, likely based off of an environment variable.
By default, hyprland doesn’t come with an equivalent to GNOME search. I use wofi to get similar functionality, but there are many tools that can do the job. Just make sure they’re looking in the right place or launch things manually from a terminal and you’ll be all set!
Are you guys fine with these new shenanigans from Github. I found a bug and wanted to check what has been the development on that, only to find out most of the discussion was hidden by github and requesting me to sign-in to view it....
I want to reset my server soon and I’m toying with the idea of using a different operating system. I am currently using Ubuntu Server LTS. However, I have been toying with the idea of using Fedora Server (I use Fedora on my laptop and made good experiences with it) or even Fedora CoreOS. I also recently installed NixOS on my...
NixOS is excellent, and actually pretty easy if you’re not trying to do anything fancy (running all services under a single user, etc.). Personally this is my pick because I primarily host services for myself, so down time in exchange for learning a new thing is acceptable.
As I mentioned elsewhere, Debian + Incus is a great minimal and rock solid solution for longer standing services. Although, it’s not composeable :(
More directly to your preferences, I would also recommend considering Rocky. Being in the RHEL ecosystem has its perks (especially with rootless support for podman and podman-compose). I’m also generally a fan of SELinux. Rocky is a little less bleeding edge than Fedora with many of the same conveniences and recent packages. In my mind, for my purposes, that makes it a better choice than Fedora for a server OS.
Agreed! I’m pretty psyched about their transparency and the overall model. Especially in the universe where this Apple lawsuit results in Beeper being allowed to connect to iMessage again.
Would love to hear any results you find with hosting! I’ll give it a try too and maybe do a follow on post with what I learn.
Hm, so it’s encrypted from your beeper client to the bridge, decrypted, then re-encrypted with the outgoing platform’s protocol. Seems like a good reason to host your own bridge, and a good call on it being a glaring attack surface.
Seems like the secret sauce is in how they deal with messaging platform integrations? Maybe the goal is to avoid another iMessage lawsuit. With Beeper as a proof of concept it would be cool to start adding integrations in a fully open source way (legality permitting)
In my head they’re different use cases. Nix is amazing for a living build. Ansible is more pigeon-holed to production systems where you don’t want (or need) that history baked into every system
