Sure, I was just saying that you could use it and aren’t necessarily restricted to the other options.

Not to be that person, but you aren’t restricted to those solutions for software, that’s what rpm-ostree is there for. It layers applications over your system image and installs software in a similar manner to a “normal” package manager.

I don’t mean to sound hostile, that’s probably my past demons coming out. Like I said in my last comment, it’s really apt that I hate. It would constantly break or put me into dependency hell and I haven’t had to deal with that (yet) with Fedora.

I haven’t put my finger on it, but Fedora, for whatever reason, also just feels faster.

It’s mostly personal preference, but I have grown to hate apt in general. I used it for over a decade and constantly got in dependency hell. I’ve yet to have anything like that happen on Fedora, especially Silverblue and CoreOS.

My pihole exploded yesterday, all my fault. A couple of years ago, I created a script called via cron to update pihole’s services every other week. This was great, until now when it updated to v6 at 4am. To make matters worse, I neglected to automate raspian updates, meaning it was very out of date, and was no longer compatible with pihole-FTL (thinking back, I thought I automated it too, but I guess not).

I took an image after creating a pihole “teleporter” backup, and began formatting. In my lack of caffeine and focus, I missed that my teleporter file was corrupt after I had successfully wiped the SD card. Thankfully I had that image as I was able to mount it and retrieve my blocklists via sqlite, otherwise I would have had to start from scratch.

One good thing that came out of it (for my taste, anyway) was that I swapped the OS on the pi to fedora. No more debian around here!

Tomorrow, I plan on setting up some backup automation for my pi, as it’s the only machine missing backups at this point.

I luckily haven’t encountered these yet, but I primarily use NZB

Yep, pretty much. It used to be doable, but these days it’s very difficult. It’s certainly not impossible, but one slipup and you could get on the deny list forever. It’s just not worth it, since emails are usually pretty mission critical, imo.

Fedora CoreOS is meant to be just for containers if you want to go this route.

Distrobox perhaps? Not sure about the android side of things. For true “sandboxing” something like docker is probably your best bet.

It should be noted that email servers, no matter the setup, require you to follow strict standards to achieve proper delivery. It’s very easy to get blacklisted, and it’s next to impossible to get off of said blacklist once you’re on it.

I used to host my own mail server with this, but it got to be too much to get my emails to actually send. I was always wondering if my email was actually delivered or if it was silently bounced or sent to spam. Email is the only thing I’m not willing to self host.

I’m now using Fedora CoreOS which can be deployed from config files. It’s really neat to be able to define everything the way you need it and just start up the VM with no further config necessary. I’m using podman to manage my services.

There are many different ways, but personally (and hopefully I don’t get crucified for saying this) I use Plex and Plexamp. Plexamp has got to be the best music app I’ve ever used. I even tied it into Last.fm to get recommendations for new music based on my listening.

You’d need to set up Plex media server to go this route: https://support.plex.tv/articles/200264746-quick-start-step-by-step-guides/

Personally I host via Docker.

It might be a little overkill if you don’t have other media, though, and it’s not fully open source.

Maybe you could use the “Single page” firefox extension to save? You could also always print to pdf, this is built into firefox including mobile.

Yep, a bastion is what you’re looking for. I use an rpi + a Dynamic DNS record in a script on the pi to automatically update firewall and ssh rules if my IP updates. Of course, you may need to do some configuration depending on their network setup.

My partner’s computer was running bazzite on a 2080 super and it gave her nothing but problems, especially with Wayland. Switching to AMD immediately fixed the Wayland issues, and also completely stabilized her system. It could be that it was a problematic GPU, I suppose. I admit that I haven’t personally used an Nvidia GPU since ~2020, however I did see the issues she had for sure.

Whatever you do, do not get an Nvidia GPU. I’ve only ever had problems with Nvidia drivers on Linux. Meanwhile, the AMD drivers (both the ones baked into the kernel and proprietary) work nearly flawlessly.

Intel’s most recent generation of CPUs were also frying themselves and Intel (at least last I checked) were not accepting RMAs from affected customers. Something to consider for your CPU at least.

I have this level1techs KVM which can drive my 5120x1440 @ 120hz monitor (without DSC) AND my 3840x2160 @ 240hz monitor (also without DSC). It’s $450, but Wendell and level1techs are great and it’s well worth the price.

I’m running Fedora on one host and Ubuntu on the other. With Windows, you can use DSC to drive huge resolutions at 240hz.
