when my girlfriend’s build pipeline finishes

😂😂

Tell me how it went :) curious if it worked out !

I haven’t heard of Mathy, but it seems to be a math tool?

From what I gathered, miniconda is like pipx or venv. It’s able to create python virtual environments.

But I’m very new to all of this so I’m not really a good source. However after experimenting with either of them (venv, pip or miniconda) I found miniconda the easiest to use, but that’s also probably a skill issue.

I was genuinely asking because their could be something I wasn’t aware of because yeah I’m new to all of this. (proprietary, bugs, not the right tool…

You seem related to programming, maybe you could give me some pointers here?

Some people will probably disagree with me but I consider Debian stable as a server distribution not as a daily drive system.

Debian testing is probably the better choice if you want to daily drive Debian or consider or more up to date distro. If you’re relatively new to GNU/Linux, don’t bother with bleeding edge distros or exotics ones like Arch, EndeavourOS, Gentoo, NixOS…

If you find your way to distrowatch.com you will see EndeavourOS very high in the rankings, but it’s a rolling release distribution. While it’s easier to maintain/install than Arch, it has a learning curve and needs regular attention and reading the docs/forum.

I have seen a lot of people recommend the following:

• Linux mint
• Pop! OS
• Fedora
• OpenSUSE

If you only want to find duplicates give czkawka a try. It has a nice GUI too.

I don’t know how good it is for music duplicates I only used it to find duplicate pictures and worked very well !

One person but 10 fingers to write the code. That’s a lot of guys at work here.

Thanks for the tip !! I will certainly give it a look, It’s kinda annoying for my family members to always connect via wireguard.

For me it’s fine though, I even route my traffic to ProtonVPN but my family is always nagging how they need to “do something” to get access to the hosted services or that it “doesn’t work”.

Except that everything is under your control and not managed by a third party, not much I think.

If this setup works for you and you’re happy with it, just keep it going.

If you have time to spare, want to learn new things, tinkerer arround with network security, certificates, DNS, reverse proxy and, and, and… You can give it a try in a virtual machine and docker containers. But keep in mind that’s not an easy way and involves a lot of personal time before you get a GOOD working self-hosted / exposed services.

I wouldn’t recommend to open any port on your router except for a secured tunnel like wireguard and connect to your services through that tunnel. Opening port 443/80 on your router is bound to some heavy automated scanning and brute force by bots. If you don’t have the necessary knowledge/tool/hardware, this is just going to put you at risk of ddos and remote attacks.

That’s way something like cloudflare is populare, they most of the time take care of that nuisance and also why something like wireguard is popular among the selfhosting community.

Just out of curiosity, I haven’t seen anyone recommend miniconda… Why so, is there something wrong I’m not aware of?

I’m no expert, but I totally feel you, python packages, dependencies and version matching is a real nightmare. Even with venv I had a hard time to make everything work flawlessly, especially on MacOS.

However, with miniconda everything was way easier to configure and worked as expected.

As long as the EU doesn’t reinvent the wheel, why not? I mean if they are going to fork Linux and rewrite a EU-based linux OS, this would further divide the community and make issues and security a lot more wacky… Not sure this is a good idea.

Lutris + wineprefixes works great but most of the time it’s harder to configure and needs some search around the web to get it right !

Non-steam games with proton on steam works like nearly every time without to much hassle (if supported) !!

If you’re afraid of your account ban, create a dummy steam account only for your pirated games.

If you’re tired of python’s and venv issues, give miniconda a try. It solved most of my issues with dependencies and different python version in scripts.

It’s probably a skill issue regarding to pip/pipx/venv… But miniconda really made everything easier.

What about exFAT? It overcomes FAT32’s limitation and is nearly readable on every OS and has way higher file size limits.

Edit: In case of external storage like USB/hard drive.

Not sure if this is what happend, but there is a sync option in samba where you can sync your samba user password with login user password.

However this needs explicitly be stated in the samba.conf and needs some further configuration. It could be possible that the installation fuckedup something with passwd.

Just guessing here, I played a bit arround with samba and password syncing.

From another poster above, it seems only Windows machines are affected.

XFCE4 ! Stable, simple and EndeavourOS’ design is top notch !

However there are some glitches from time to time. Nothing to serious but when I use Lutris + Wine my desktop bar does some wired shit.

Also when coming back from sleep I have to “pkill xfce4-session”. Though I’m not totally sure it’s an xfce issue…this could also be Nvidia or X11 related… Didn’t dived to deep.

Hummm… Guess you’re to sensible? I mean I’m die hard linux lover for 3 years now and will never switch back to Windows… EVER!

However, I found some of those posts quite funny !

Same ! This looks so satisfying !! Hope they have proper manual though… Not an outsourced Polish only image based manual… Uhhhg !

That’s also how my Linux download folder looks from time to time XD But since I’m on Arch bases distro I try to be more organized and clean-up that Download folder mess !!!

I’ve subscribed to YT Premium today.

If you’re on Android there’s InnerTune. It’s basically YouTube music but for free ! Just to bad you can’t directly access downloaded files to export them elsewhere. (Yeah that’s practically piracy and illegal)

I like navidrome + Tempo as self-hosted solution. Works well without any issues. However, I read about horror stories people losing all their media or fucking up their media library ?

Also, that’s a huge song library (20.000?)… Not sure this can be easily handled over to a self-hosted solution? But first you need to organize your songs
