Stumbled across this quick post recently and thought it was a really good tale and worth sharing.

A couple of weeks ago, I saw a tweet asking: "If Linux is so good, why aren't more people using it?" And it's a fair question! It intuitively rings true until you give it a moment's consideration. Linux is even free, so what's stopping mass adoption, if it's actually better? My response:

• If exercising is so healthy, why don't more people do it?
• If reading is so educational, why don't more people do it?
• If junk food is so bad for you, why do so many people eat it?

The world is full of free invitations to self-improvement that are ignored by most people most of the time. Putting it crudely, it's easier to be fat and ignorant in a world of cheap, empty calories than it is to be fit and informed. It's hard to resist the temptation of minimal effort.

And Linux isn't minimal effort. It's an operating system that demands more of you than does the commercial offerings from Micros

Hej,

Tractive is a service to track dogs and cats, via a GPS tag attached to their collar.

I'm more than aware this isn't a privacy conscious service, but from what research I did it was by far the most "effective" service and easily accessible.

I paid a full year subscription for this service during January. But now two months later they have changed their terms. They do not list what these changes are.

My Questions are:

1. What's the best way to find the differences in the old vs. new terms?
2. I bought the product before these changes were made, does that somehow give me a right to continue using them under the old terms?
3. Considering I bought this before the changes, and if I don't agree with new terms, do I have the right to a refund?

Appricate any suggestions!

Hi there, hope everyone is have a good weekend!

Got a general question regarding these types of coffee bags, that I keep getting with my coffee beans whenever I buy some from my local roaster. But honestly not sure what they're for...? Currently just using them as my lunch bags for work haha.

Let me know if they have a more specific use case!

Hiya!

Wondering how people's experiences are regarding the use of ultrawide monitors on Linux these days. What kind of setup do you rock?

Am thinking about getting an oled monitor as my next monitor and current setup is two 32inch monitors where one of them is vertical. But been keeping a keen eye on ultrawides for a while but not sure its for me and how well it's supported with Linux. I've read KDE supports it well, but what about when gaming? Also what's the current state of oled and hdr support?

Also, please add your monitor brand+models, would love to see what peeps are rocking. Personally been looking at the Alienware AW3423DWF.

Edit: I'm looking at screens that are oled and 2k resolution.

Let me know your experiences, tips or recommendations!

One of my goals this year is ot make more bread. Super happy with this one, taste really good too. Can post the recipe if someone is interested.

Pictures from the process:

I did it. Finally. My meta account is in process for deletion! (Whatever that process actually involves we'll probably never know). But I did what I could and deleted all posts, pictures, aswell as changing name and email. Hoping that at least helps a bit. Feels good to finally get rid of what has felt like a burden for a long time.

Was able to move more people than I had imagined over to Signal, some easier to move than others ofc. But it truly helps that Signal is a breeze to use and setup for folks.

Anyway I just wanted to share what feels like a good achievement with you all. Hopefully you're also able to do the same during 2025, there are many good alternatives these days!

Have a good rest of your week!

Basically title. I'm in the process of setting up a proper backup for my configured containers on Unraid and I'm wondering how often I should run my backup script. Right now, I have a cron job set to run on Monday and Friday nights, is this too frequent? Whats your schedule and do you strictly backup your appdata (container configs), or is there other data you include in your backups?

Hi there good folks!

I am going to be upgrading my server within the next couple of months and am trying to do some prior planning. My current setup is as follows:

• Case: Fractal Define R5
• Mothberboard: Gigabyte Z170X-Designare-CF
• CPU: i7-6700K CPU @ 4.00GHz
• Memory: 32 GiB DDR4
• Storage: 15TB spread across 4 HDDs (10x2x2x1) + 1HDD at 10TB for Parity.
• OS: Unraid 🧡

While this setup as served me well, I am completely hooked on these mini-racks(Rackmate T1) and am thinking of getting one eventually. Fortunately I'll be getting my hands on my first mini-pc soon, an ASUS ExpertCenter PN52. This little badboy has the following specs:

• CPU: AMD Ryzen™ 9 5900HX

Hi there!

Context: After the recent debacle with Proton I was finally pushed to look for other alternatives. I had already wanted to change services for a while so it was nice to get the final push. It's still a good service, open-source and all. I personally just wanted to look for something else. However, I had not realised how deeply I was integrated into the email+alias feature they had, and how much work it is to change out of this, I have a fair amount of accounts.

I have now found a new email provider and bought a new domain. However I've got a few questions for those to who rock custom domains:

1. Do you use random strings before the @ sign? Or do you use it like [email protected]?
2. Because I'm considering using this as a catch-all address, doesn't this mean that anyone who wants (and knows the domain) and send spam on any random string before the @? Are you worried about this, and are there any counters to this?
3. As far as I've understood the main benefit of using my

Just discovered this cool project, thought i'd share it here.

AliasVault is an end-to-end encrypted password and alias manager that protects your privacy by creating alternative identities, passwords and email addresses for every website you use. Keeping your personal information private.

For those wondering how the alias feature works:

AliasVault includes a built-in email server that allows you to create unique email addresses (aliases) for different services. When someone sends an email to your alias, it's received directly in AliasVault, helping you maintain privacy and reduce spam.

Futo (Louis Rossman) at it again with great content, this time a Guide to a Self Managed life. This 14hrs long guide comes in two video parts, aswell as a written guide for those who prefer. Both video and written quide comes with complete chapters and timestamps. This should be a great starting point for those who have the time and want to start learning from the very beginning.

Happy selfhosting in 2025 everyone ✨

For example; GOG games - what happens if they were to shutdown their busieness. How would you archive these games if you had to?

Personally will be trying to transform my server which is currently in a fractal R5 case, into a small-ish Homelab rack, combined with all my network equipment. Will require complete relocation of all network equipment in the house as well as cables so it will be a bit of a project. Also on the lookout for a good quality rack so let me know if you have any recs. Still unsure if u want to do full width rack or mini. Part of me really want the UDM Pro from Unifi..

What are your goals and thing you want to accomplish during 2025?

JetKVM is much like nanoKVM but a slightly polised version.

What is JetKVM?

JetKVM is a high-performance, open-source KVM over IP (Keyboard, Video, Mouse) solution designed for efficient remote management of computers, servers, and workstations. Whether you’re dealing with boot failures, installing a new operating system, adjusting BIOS settings, or simply taking control of a machine from afar, JetKVM provides the tools to get it done effectively.

As far as I know, these Jets are not available for retail yet, but can be bought via their kickstarter.
