Home server recommendations? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Thank you for your insight! I've been playing with the idea of getting a retired tower from my workplace to mess around with so it's nice knowing that's a valid path. Once I've secured some hardware and done some research on set-up I'll be sure to report back (probably with more questions)!

Home server recommendations? (lemmy.zip)
 

Good day people!

(This paragraph is fluff, feel free to skip) First I'd like to thanks everyone who has answered my questions thus far. A of now I'm daily driving CachyOS on my "laptop" and Bazzite on my gaming PC. I've settled on Hyprland after running with sway for a few days and have been forcing myself to solve problems and do file management using the CLI exclusively (excluding firefox for duckduckgoosing help). I've gotten semi-comfortable manipulating files, but haven't had to do anything too skill intensive yet.

On to the question! I am currently looking to set up a home server. My use case is for storing media, specifically videos (for watching) and game Roms (for playing older games on emulator). With this use case in mind, what's a good resource to learn how to get started? For those who have home servers set up with similar purposes, how did you arrive at your current set-up? What considerations should i take before, during, and after set-up?

Any feedback is greatly appreciated!

Thank in advance! Hope to hear from you all soon!

Why micro over nano or vim?

I respect the minimalism. I'm more of an accent color guy myself. Which editor do you use if you don't mine me asking?

This feels TOO reasonable, I love it.

What's the most common aliases you use?

Thanks for the post! Never would've known about Starship. Your setup seems a bit feature-rich for me at the moment but it's nice knowing its an option.

I tried light theme for 0.000000128 seconds, and in that time my eyeballs melted out of my head and onto my keyboard.

I honestly overlooked that when i was trying out Manjaro.

My grandpa had a green CRT. I'm unsure of the make and model, but it's long since gone.

Thanks for the reply!

Zoxide seems cool, typing long paths has been an annoyance of mine so far but I think I'll keep writing them out for the "experience".

Good day all!

First I'd like to thank all the people who replied to my first post and provided so much valuable information! Since then I've been trying to force myself to get comfortable with using the terminal! To this end I've been running Sway as my Desktop Environment and printed out a cheat sheet to place next to my screen.

Now, a paragraph deep, for the question(s):

How do y'all customize your terminals? I'm not looking for tutorials, just your preferences. How long did it take for you to settle on your favourite? What did you prioritize when customizing? What customization are you fondest of?

Thanks in advance to any and all replies, hope to hear from you all soon!

I haven't tried the Sangria Zinger yet, I'll be sure to look out for it so I can try.

Thanks for mentioning homelab. They seem quite useful from a quick search. If you remember your first setup, what hardware did you settle on and why? What has changed since? Any pains along the way?

Thank you for the info! That arch install is looking more and more like the next project I'll be taking.

Good day all!

I haven't been into tea since Starbucks bought my favourite tea store quite a while back. looking to get back into regularly brewing some. West coast USA here if that helps narrow it down.

Thanks in advance.

Learning Linux, next steps? (lemmy.zip)
 

Good day all,

I'm currently about 3 months into using Linux exclusively for personal computing and gaming. I stared out trying EndeavourOs /w the Linux Surface kernel on my Surface, having now settled on Manjaro on my surface and CachyOS on my gaming rig.

So far the experience has been relatively painless. Now, having settled down comfortably into a rhythm of running sudo pacman -Syu, getting lost in the AUR and wiki, I feel like exploring more into what Linux has to offer.

So, on to my question, what do i do now? There's a bit of choice paralysis for me. Where did you all decide to dig in first? What resources did you use? What projects did you take on to deepen your knowledge? What do you feel is essential for crossing the threshold from average user to almost-superuser, then from there and beyond?

Thanks in advance for your time. Hope to hear from you all soon.
