It’s just way faster for me most of the time. I can hit F12, do what I need, and be done without messing around with a mouse or touchpad.

I have that same laptop, and it sounds perfect for what you want. Cheap, repairable, and runs linux well.

Awesome, thanks! I’m going to give it a shot.

Can i still use sync with dekstop Firefox? How about add-ons?

You can already selfhost.

I used syncthing for a while. Then tried github with mostly terrible results. Now i’m back on syncthing. It involves a little bit of setup, but i mostly forget about it now. It just works.

I use an Amazfit GTR 2e, and it works almost perfectly with gadgetbridge. The only difficulty I have is i’m unable to manually update A-GPS data, so getting a GPS lock can take a while. But I don’t use it a lot, and honestly, the Fitbit Versa I came from wasn’t all that much better.

If I only read on my phone, I’d use Librera. But for syncing between my Onyx Boox device and my phone, KOReader is hard to beat.

I dove headfirst recently and switched from KDE Plasma to Hyprland. I ended up using someone else’s config as a base, and I’m still tweaking, but so far, I have no regrets.

I don’t follow any best practices. AUR, updates without checking the feed, etc. Been on arch for 2 years or so without any major issues.

Two days ago I decided to give hyprland a try just for some excitement. Lol.

You can use the archinstall script and get it setup in however long it takes to install everything.

I recently went through the process of manually setting up hyprland. Only after finding out it was added to archinstall…

My laptops and RPis aren’t named anything interesting. My server is named Lyla though. I let my youngest kid pick the name.

Thanks for suggesting mosh! I use termux a lot for ssh, and mosh looks like it will fix some of my biggest issues with it. Mainly losing connection when switching networks.

I got this same email. Of course the only domains I own are .com and .xyz. Going to lock in as many years as I can before September.

It’s been almost a year since I checked it out, but I had a lot of issues with jellyfin compared to plex. Mainly transcoding would never work, so streaming outside of my local network never worked well.

As someone who spent a lot of time learning html/css and wordpress to get a site i’m ok with, but not thrilled.

I’d say skip wordpress. I think it’s overkill for a portfolio. Mine is just a personal blog, and i’m about to sign up for the $9 a month Ghost Pro hosting with a free theme. I’m over the plugins and getting nickel and dimed for features.

Like others have mentioned, a static site generator may be good too.

Also, it isn’t open source, but i really like blot.im. I use it for Obsidian.md instead of the built-in publish because it’s a lot cheaper, and it’s close enough in appearance/quality.

EDIT: Actually, it looks like I was wrong. Blot.im appears to be open source too.

I already wanted a Steam Deck, but was saving up for one of the higher tiers. Then I found out how relatively easy it is to buy the cheap one and add an nvme drive. So, now my savings goal is a lot closer.

EDIT: Fixed some typos

I have the app, but haven’t really used it much. I put most things into my linkding instance and forget about it. Lol.

Maybe I should start with Omnivore first to keep from clogging up my bookmarks.

I’ve been selfhosting for almost a year, and I’m still on the lookout for anything I can host.

I’ve reached a point where if I don’t have a use for something, i’ll still try to make an unraid template if there isn’t one. Just to install it and try it out. Lol

I want that router, but I don’t have a good reason to give my wife why our RB4011 needs to be upgraded…lol
