It’s still better than no sandbox at all, isn’t it? And who installs their OS on an HDD in 2024?

6 years ago Proton was a thing. It worked out of the box with Steam games like it does today. Yes not everything was gold rated on protondb but it worked fine. I’ve been gaming on Linux since 2018.

postgresql db (e.g. in Docker) + Dbeaver as GUI client

Yes, exactly. I push photos into the “import folder” of Photoprism. I don’t manually trigger the re-index but I restart photoprism at night using a cronjob. I am not using settings like “PHOTOPRISM_AUTO_IMPORT”. Contact me if you need me to investigate more.

I’m uploading to a directory using syncthing. It’s working perfectly fine without any scripts. I’m running Photoprism in a docker container.

Signal is probably the best option because it’s as easy to setup as Telegram and others.

You can do that with ZFS. It’s built-in integrierty check will automatically heal errors and tell you what drive has gone bad.

I can also recommend zfs on debian. Even if you only using two disks you will be still protected from bit rot.

I can recommend dockprom. It comes with grafana preconfigured.

ZFS is rigid? Please explain

Is it possible to build a minimal image for my home server without gnome etc? Thank you!

Salty arch users downvoting… smh

Can you elaborate what didn’t work on Manjaro? Just curious, I’ve been using it on my gaming rig for over 5 years without problems.

Get a mainboard and CPU supporting ECC ram. Combine it with ZFS as the file system. With this setup you are safe from bitrot.

sounds reasonable to me /s

If you’re already on linux there is no need to install special tools. Simply copy the iso directly to the USB device.

dd if=distribution.iso of=/dev/sdX bs=1M && sync

The cp command will write the ISO file directly onto the device. This is the official way that is recommended by Debian:

cp debian.iso /dev/sdX

I’ll translate “almost snap free” for you: It’s still using snap for some stuff that wouldn’t work without snap. Avoid Ubuntu.

Using a de-bloated Ubuntu reminds me of my time on Windows - had to use a bunch of tools to disable all kind of sh*t. Not doing this again, Ubuntu will never be a choice for me.

True, but I thought we are talking about security here…?
