  • Spice rack cleaning day.

  • What's your favorite spice? If that doesnt make sense for cooking then I'll just ask what spice do you use most often?

  • RustDesk, probably one of the best TeamViewer Alternatives

    Jump

  • I've had an amazing time remoting into friends and families windows machines from my linux box, and they were able to install rustdesk very easily. It's incredibly streamlined and has been so helpful when I need it.

  • systemd has been a complete, utter, unmitigated success

    Jump

  • Most compiled output of NixOS configuration (besides packages, perhaps) is just systemd units anyway. I found out quickly when learning nix that my lack of systemd prowess was going to cap how well I could understand NixOS.

  • Something like TeXstudio, but for markdown?

    Jump

  • Ive started writing in typst. Its simple enough when doing not so complicated things, but an entire ecosystem is available the moment I want to do something complicated. But it does not have LOCAL graphical editor, but there is an online version you can use. Ive never tried it.

  • I think the photo gives the wrong impression. Its completely unrelated to the question.

  • It just worked.

  • Congratulations! I'm glad it worked well for you. Mint is a great choice as well.

    Yes, it's Linux.

  • My week with Linux: I'm dumping Windows for Ubuntu to see how it goes

    Jump

  • I dont think the criticism of installing apps is valid. Windows also has many ways of installing things. He criticizes the app center as if you can install everything from the microsoft store. On windows you still install stuff from a website, and you can use a package manager too it just isn't a requirement.

  • OBS Studio: There's a community version but no official version of OBS for Linux.

    This is incorrect, right? Im assuming had to install it somewhere else and presumed it wasnt official.

  • 3-2-1 Backups: How do you do the 1 offsite backup?

    Jump

  • I use borg backup. It, and another tool called restic, are meant for creating encrypted backups. Further, it can create backups regularly and only backup differences. This means you could take a daily backup without making new copies of your entire library. They also allow you to, as part of compressing and encrypting, make a backup to a remote machine over ssh. I think you should start with either of those.

    One provider thats built for being a cloud backup is borgbase. It can be a location you backup a borg (or restic I think) repository. There are others that are made to be easily accessed with these backup tools.

    Lastly, I'll mention that borg handles making a backup, but doesn't handle the scheduling. Borgmatic is another tool that, given a yml configuration file, will perform the borgbackup commands on a schedule with the defined arguments. You could also use something like systemd/cron to run a schedule.

    Personally, I use borgbackup configured in NixOS (which makes the systemd units for making daily backups) and I back up to a different computer in my house and to borgbase. I have 3 copies, 1 cloud and 2 in my home.

  • SSH managers on Linux?

  • Why do you use the distro you use?

    Jump

  • Tinkering, really. I did a bunch of stuff with wine and virtualization and troubleshooted across versions. One time I manually updated the version of sqlite in python's std lib to be a newer version. I picked a non LTS kernel once. All these things compounded and bloated my system. And when I went to do clean up, I didnt have a record of exactly everything I installed, what I used and what I didnt. It was guesswork to clean up my disk or even remember the tools I used to get a project working.

    This is solved with declarative configuration, which is the basis of NixOS. I believe VanillaOS 2 has something similar. Likewise, this is one the great benefits of docker, vagrant, ansible, etc.

  • Why do you use the distro you use?

    Jump

  • NixOS. My primary reason for switching was wanting a single list of programs that I had installed. After using ubuntu for 5 years I just lost track of all the tools and versions of software that I had installed...and that didnt even count my laptop. Now all my machines have a single list of applications, and they are all in sync.

  • First steps on data hoarding?

    Jump

  • The two top of the line tools for making backups are restic and borgbackup (in my opinion). They would allow you to easily compress and encrypt some local directories to another computer or cloud service. I personally use borgbackup with external backups at borgbase.com
