I don’t take issue with the animations per se. They could be faster and transfer input immediately, and I would take no issue.

The real crime is how MacOS window animations take forever and don’t switch input focus immediately.

I’m perfectly happy to build my own NAS with NixOS and ZFS on it. I think it’s mostly a matter of getting the right hardware.

My biggest shortcoming at the moment is my NAS is also my gaming PC. It’s pretty inefficient to have that on all the time. But I haven’t had the time to build a dedicated NAS.

ntopng has all of that. I’m currently hosting it on my home router.

Alt-D, “chr”, Enter

Who am I kidding, I use Firefox.

If you go this route I recommend installing Kodi + Jellyfin Plugin + Kore Android App. You can control everything from your phone or laptop.

I don’t think there is a world where Linux gains significant market share AND users care what sudo is. In order for Linux to be more mainstream, those kinds of details should not be the concern of laypeople. GUIs are what average people are able to stomach.

• Has a simple backup and migration workflow. I recently had to backup and migrate a MediaWiki database. It was pretty smooth but not as simple as it could be. If your data model is spread across RDBMS and file, you need to provide a CLI tool that does the export/import.

• Easy to run as a systemd service. This is the main criteria for whether it will be easy to create a NixOS module.

• Has health endpoints for monitoring.

• Has an admin web UI that surfaces important configuration info.

• If there are external service dependencies like postgres or redis, then there needs to be a wealth of documentation on how those integrations work. Provide infrastructure as code examples! IME systemd and NixOS modules are very capable of deploying these kinds of distributed systems.

Silverbullet is nice

I like AdGuard Home myself.

I do grind my beans haha.

Idk but I use NixOS.

Wireguard is p2p.

EDIT: I guess the point is it’s doing peer discovery without static public IPs or DNS. Pretty cool!

couldn’t you always just run a Linux VM at near-native speed, and get the benefits of both?

The obvious downside is that Linux is no longer the host OS. MacOS or Windows would be closed source code managing your hardware. And any VM could only be as fast as the host OS allows it to be.

It’s been this way for at least a decade.

I’m not in the market, but I’ve actually had similar thoughts of building a project on top of NixOS that’s focused on self-hosting for homes and small businesses. I recently deployed my own router/server on a BeeLink mini PC and instead of using something like OpenWRT, I used NixOS, systemd-networkd, nftables, etc.

DM me if you want to discuss more. I think the idea has potential and I might be interested in helping if you can get the business model right (even if it just ends up being some FOSS thing).

Stop using Brave, people.

The only correct answer is to be consistent with the code base you’re working in or the language’s conventions. If neither of these conventions exist, then someone has already failed you.
