I love that domain name.

I wanted to try it but its installer kept hanging when it saw my LUKS on LVM setup :(

Immutable OSes are difficult to use for coding or other tasks that include installing many terminal utilities and for that reason, I don’t recommend them and certainly don’t want them to be the future of Linux distros. And if I’m going to create a container running a different distro to install and run the apps I want to use, then I may as well use that distro on my host.

What is virsh?

A question - can I use Bazzite for uses other than gaming? I game on my laptop, but most of the time I’m writing code. Could I use it for that or should I go for something like Fedora, Debian or Arch?

Since you need to self-host Jellyfin, then you are responsible for making the service public.

Finally found what’s causing my laptop’s DNS servers to change automatically in the background. It was the systemd-resolved FallbackDNS setting. Disabled it in a config and now I can access all my custom DNS names.

I update daily and never had issues with packages.

Arch: I have the most up to date computer in the whole world, I have the AUR, no one can stop me

switches to Debian

Debian: My packages are so stable, nothing can break the eternal peace of my system’s packages

switches back to Arch

My laptop is called xontros-gatos, which in my native language means fat-cat. Similarly, my server is called server-cat, a small laptop that I have for testing stuff is called small-cat and a new laptop that I just got is called fatter-cat.

After having upgraded my Pi-Hole to v6, for some reason yesterday it started to not recognize any of the blocklists. So, I resetted it and now it works.

I managed to fix this problem by pointing my domain name to my private IP address (with pihole’s local DNS entries), so I could access it. Then, I just got certs for the domain and applied them with nginx.

I know, but for some reason my router does not let me access my domain (with duckdns) when connected to my network. So even if I get certs for the domain, I will not be able to access it. I have set up local DNS entries (with Pi-Hole) to point to my srrver, but I don’t know if it possible to get certs for that, since it is not a real domain.

EDIT: Fixed it. (See reply for fix)

I installed Void Linux on my Raspberry Pi without looking at the details, and I was surprised that it had no systemd! It was the first non-systemd distro that I had encountered and also pretty fast.

Yes, basically on internal LAN I put admin admin to everything.

I don’t dual boot, I just have some other Windows machines that I use rarely for Windows-only software that require an external connection, like Odin for Samsung devices.

ext4 on everything except external drives where I put NTFS.

I just use ext4 on everything. It works pretty nicely.

I think you can encrypt drives by using a key stored in the TPM, if you have one. See the Arch wiki for info.

Though I have heard the TPM is not as secure..

1. Not having to give up my privacy for everything.
2. GUIs are not needed when self-hosting. (I mean when deploying services)
3. Learn Linux and start simple with a Raspberry Pi or laptop. That’s how I started.
