And in the darkness bind them?

By the way?

Always tinkered with Linux, since eeeearly Red Hat days, but took the first full move when I set up my home lab and needed to host some docker containers with hardware pass-through.

Turned out my hardware was a bit too new for the kernel I had to install so ended up teaching myself a lot in terms trying to get everything to work.

Because of that I got quite comfortable on the terminal and from then, the UI suddenly made sense, because I understood better the concepts underneath.

Run three boxes with various versions of Linux now, a couple more if you count dual booting, a couple more if you count Mac as some kind of Frankenstein UNIX.

Yeah, it’s a mess:

Ok, it’s a phone.

Alright, it seems to run Linux.

<EOF>

Eh, ok.

You must work in tech support with that attitude to the problem 🤣

The user has a problem. Do you want to be right or do you want a satisfied user? I can tell you which path popular operating systems choose.

And I say this 5 different OSes at home, 3 of which are Linux distros.

Yes, CTRL+Z undos, CTRL+S saves etc

Although micro already exists for this.

You’re on of us then!

I, and many others, start closing stuff when there’s more than a handful.

Others, like many, just run then forever and ever. A sea of icons, tiny and compressed. Worrying they’ll lose that tab they really like in amongst the clutter. Unaware of the history feature.

I have a feeling this thread won’t be about Linux.

Linux is mailing lists, if anything. It’s definitely not Reddit.

I am so intrigued by Silverblue but given how stable Fedora is I’m not really sure I’d gain anything

Red Hat, way back in the 90s - must have been 5.0 IIRC.

Since then I went through Ubuntu and now landed on Fedora.

Oops, how embarrassing. I stand corrected and tip my hat.

“Web printing”. Basically the printer connects to Google, the laptop connects to Google and your printing goes via Google. Why not give your advertisement profiler everything you print too?

No that’s not right.

FWIW, I switched to Linux due to the amazing container support and haven’t looked back in terms of running software. The easy set up, tear down, and common monitoring makes it far more convenient to host stuff on Linux.

Run 19 but barely get over 5% usage even when transcoding 4K movies where the copyright has expired.

FWIW, it’s actually more the publishers’ fault. Typically as a developer you get told what environment you’re targeting and how the publisher wishes to publish you.

For anyone finding this later. Unfortunately I’ve had to come off Actual :-(

While the gocardless syncing works really well, Actuals code for merging transactions is just too flaky for the banks I use. I end up having multiple similar transactions, done on the same day for the same amount, collapse into one and while you’re meant to be able to just set a starting date and an account value, Actual kept on syncing transactions from before the starting date.

I appreciate it’s open source and given I’ve paid nothing I should expect nothing. All good. But there wasn’t any engagement in the discord support section nor any response to bugs filed. It’s clearly under active development but the QA side doesn’t get enough attention that I could get it to work for me.

While I understand they don’t want to accept bugs without repro steps, there’s not enough scaffolding for capturing data and submitting issues inside the app.

I know I could get on that and fix it. I’m not complaining. I’m glad Actual works for many. But the transaction syncing totally did not work for the banks I used and so I’ve had to stop using it.

Been on PhotoPrism+ for a few years (90000 photos, 9000 videos). I use PhotoSync and it’s rock solid (although I go through an FTPS server for sync) - I’ve never ever had an issue with it. Yes, it’s third party, but for me it has just WORKED. Can also highly recommend PhotoPrism although I don’t edit many tags.

Looks great. Will definitely try out.

Day to day I just use LunaSea. Added convenience of being able to add a film from a phone.
