Debian because it just works. I am interested in trying NixOS though.

For starting out I would suggest Longhorn, I’ve had several issues with it but maybe they’ve been fixed. I also used Rook Ceph which is overkill but neat to play with. Techno Tim has several videos on Kubernetes including setting up a cluster (he has an ansible playbook for it) as well as how to set up Longhorn.

I made my own solution since I wasn’t impressed by projects I had found. There’s two parts, the backup image and the restore image.

I use it like so:

services:
  restore_sabnzbd:
    image: untouchedwagons/simple-restore:1.0.5
    container_name: restore_sabnzbd
    restart: no
    environment:
      - BACKUP_APPEND_DIRECTORY=/docker/production/sabnzbd
      - BACKUP_BASE_NAME=sabnzbd
      - FORCE_OWNERSHIP=1000:1000
    volumes:
      - sabnzbd:/data
      - /mnt/tank/Media/Backups:/backups

  sabnzbd:
    image: ghcr.io/onedr0p/sabnzbd:4
    container_name: sabnzbd
    restart: unless-stopped
    user: 1000:1000
    volumes:
      - sabnzbd:/config
      - /mnt/tank/Media/Usenet:/mnt/data/Usenet
    depends_on:
      restore_sabnzbd:
        condition: service_completed_successfully
    networks:
      - traefik_default

  backup_sabnzbd:
    image: untouchedwagons/simple-backup:1.1.0
    container_name: backup_sabnzbd
    restart: unless-stopped
    environment:
      TZ: "America/Toronto"
      BACKUP_APPEND_DIRECTORY: "/docker/production/sabnzbd"
      BACKUP_BASE_NAME: "sabnzbd"
      BACKUP_RETENTION: "24"
      BACKUP_FREQUENCY: "0 0 * * *"
    volumes:
      - sabnzbd:/data:ro
      - /mnt/tank/Media/Backups:/backups
      
networks:
  traefik_default:
    external: true

volumes:
  sabnzbd:

The restore container looks for a file called RESTORED in /data and if one isn’t found it’ll try to restore the latest backup (if available) and then create a RESTORED file. The backup container ignores this file during backup.

I think it started with Linus and Luke of Linus Tech Tips doing a 30 day linux challenge to see what it’s like daily driving linix. Jeff of Craft Computing did one recently as well.

Zsh + oh-my-zsh

I’ve got a t14 and it works perfectly under fedora 40. My only complaint is that the Left Ctrl key isn’t in the corner.

I remember watching a youtube video about UI design on computers and the lady narrator said that the corners of the screen have effectively infinite size. I don’t remember anything else but that line stood out.

Oh cool I’ve been looking for something like mobaxterm but for Linux. I’ll definitely check this out.

Everything went smooth for me though my install is fairly pedestrian.

Where are you expecting to see the host in windows? In the Network window? If so you’ll want to install, enable and run wsdd2

Okay that’s good to know, thanks!

Is Spotify an electron app? I’ve noticed on my laptop (with intel gpu) that in Discord the screen flickers when selecting a gif and Discord is an Electron app I’m pretty sure.

How would I find out this patch is in, say, Fedora?

I’ve been using TST for years and while it can be a bit buggy at times I couldn’t imagine going back to the default tab system.

I use Wayland on my laptop running fedora 39 kde spin and it mostly runs fine. When I browse gifs in discord the screen flashes white and I can’t maximize jellyfin on connected TVs but other than that no major issues.

Well for one thing the laptop doesn’t belong to OP so it’s not their’s to mess with.

I wouldn’t recommend this as cp might not persist file ownership and permissions or maintain hard/soft links properly.

I don’t know but I’m interested in the answer.

No idea, I try to avoid containerized software on desktops unless absolutely necessary like discord and jellyfin.
