Have fun! I moved to nix on my personal laptop 2 years ago, and now my config is 21k lines long and manages ~35 devices :)

The diagram very clearly shows there’s another Alternative…

6·8 days agoOh, sorry, I did not mean to imply that there re no players (there are, e.g. Finamp), just nowhere near the same level of polish, features and stability.

8·10 days agoDarktable is incredibly powerful. Like, the question is not if it has feature parity with LR/C1, but if those will ever reach feature parity with it.
But all that power is stuck behind a user interface that has never seen the loving touch of a UX engineer. Which really is a shame.

Privacy@lemmy.ml•Approximately 1 in 25 Pixel users run GrapheneOS
692·15 days agoGraphene explicitly says the 400k are worldwide. You cannot then go ahead and use the US numbers for your comparison. From your own source, Google shipped 10 million Pixel 9 devices in 2023 alone. This does not account for other/older pixel models, or the sum total of sales before that point, or since.
Why not just share the actual number: worldwide, there’s 400k users.

Linux@lemmy.ml•I just wanted to compare FOSS Linux budgeting software
81·20 days agoAnother recmendation for Actual. I spend very little time having to interact with it, because after the initial setup, all transactions are now synched from my bank accounts, and 90% are automatically classified into my categories (not by “AI” or something, you just set rules like “payments to Rewe are always groceries”).

11·22 days agoPlanning to host a Nix caching server, and have CI build all package and NixOS outputs on every push to git, then in turn pushing the output artifacts to the cache. Would save me a good chunk of time when tinkering with VMs that haven’t seen manual updates in a while.
Only thing is, I’m not sure how to approach building and caching NixOS configs that receive agenix secrets in their input. Obviously those should not be cached…

So, for like, 1% of my mails.

Anyways.
Just FYI, your mails with a provider like Proton are not E2E encrypted unless you exclusively wrote with other Proton customers (in which case I assume they are. No idea). Otherwise it’s just encrypted at rest.
I dint really see the benefit over doing it completely yourself, not even offering metadata to a provider, and also having encryption at rest, while maintaining full compatibility with mail clients 🤔

1·27 days agoWe host most stuff at home, and then additionally some services at Hetzner on an (auctioned) root server. Bloody nice to get really good hardware for cheap, plus unlimited data with either 1 or 10Gbit synchronous network speed, a dedicated IPv4,…
Stuff like my mail server lives there because it HAS to be available, and doing it at home, and doing it well, is next to impossible.
I’m planning a nix hydra + cache server, which will probably also live on the Hetzner server, simply because it’ll have pretty intense jobs to run a lot of the time and I’m not a fan of having the noise of spun-up fans at home.
Both solutions have their place, is what I’m saying / agreeing.
- every VM with state backs up its state to the NAS once a day
- client devices rsync most of their home folder to the NAS once an hour
- at 3:15 in the morning, a Borg backup job starts pushing the days changes to a Hetzner storage box
Through borg, I have the Option to go back to any point in time with the backups. I will probably never need this, hence why it happens in this step, not on the rsync job to the NAS.
Things like movies and tv shows are not backed up, they are replaceable. All in all, about 2tb of documents, pictures, and VM state is backed up to Hetzner, out of the 16tb on the NAS.
Pick and choose your battles.

Do you happen to know how it is with a multi-monitor setup?
I finished setting up Hyprland 2years ago, then learned about the shit community literally the day after being “ah, finally done!” and haven’t found the energy to switch since.
