Using Kagi is not a bad decision. After reading a lot of positive things about it and beeing quite hyped, I was so ungently reminded, that every good thing comes with its own baggage of bad.

I thought I share it, so that everyone can make their own decision.

I also tried Metager, a german meta search engine. Sad to report: not usable for me, although I like their club (suma-ev) and donated some money towards them.

For now it’s DDG I guess. :-(

If your goal is to get away from this AI shit show, Kagi might not be the answer, according to their own blog.

I will search for a very interesting article you should read, before deciding to give kagi any money.

Edit: found it

Piwigo loocks great. How does it compare to Immich?

Good to know, I’ll give it a try sometime, thanks.

I tried what you are describing: Using a Pi4 and loading lineageOS (KonstaKANG) on it. Before that I tried libreELEC with Kodi or something like that… Internet via WLAN. Both setups suck. Everything is slow, input with my cableless keyboard/touchpad is laggy and I am not using the TV because of it… Watching jellyfin on my smartphone is more convenient.

But I am new to all this stuff, so maybe I missed some ways to optimize this setup. Next time I will just take a long HDMI cable and connect the TV with my main PC.

That sounds like a great idea.

At the moment I am using Openmediavault as a VM within proxmox - I pass my HDDs through to this VM. Openmediavault let’s me do all the stuff I want to: Share folders via SSH, NFS and raid-management.

Do you know if I can do the same with proxmox directly? Do you maybe have a link where this way is described in detail?

I am impressed, creating btrfs sub-volumes in a debian installation with muscle memory would look like magic to me (as a linux-beginner).

The partitioning and filesystem stuff feels very unsorted and confusing for me.

But if all the standard settings are ok for you and you only have to hit enter, I guess the installer is ok.

That’s the neat part - you don’t! Fuck Adobe.

Who puts up with this shit anyway? Go buy an Apple. You can eat it while installing Linux.

Yes, convenience is the main reason people like you use discord. But there are many reasons against using it and I am sure you know all of them, so no need for a discussion.

Just wanted to highlight: you are part of the discord problem.

“Hop on the discord server”… Boooo. What happened to the good old Forum. Searchable and all.

Follow me on instagram for more great criticism.

Lemmy interpreted the * as something cursive. I try to edit it like I mean it.

Sorry to hear, I feel you:

I wanted to delete all .m3u-files in my music collection when I learned:

find ./ -name "*.m3u" -delete -> this would have been the right way, all .m3u in the current folder would have been deleted.

find ./ -delete -name "*.m3u" -> WRONG, this just deletes the current folder and everything in it.

Who would have known, that the position of -delete actually matters.

Reading your comment on GrapheneOS with the open source Client Jerboa, attained from F-Droid. And all thanks to Lemmy (AGPL)!

Your comment is one of few that really deserves a downvote - but there are at least 30 people that interpret the downvote and upvote function differently. Lucky you. Downvoting should be used to identify poor comment quality, not disagreement. Your comment quality is very poor.

I didn’t, after two years of Linux only. When is my turn?

FreeCAD isn’t an abomination. Maybe it feels like one for you, but that isn’t the truth for everyone.

I for one enjoy it very much. My workflow for building carports with the arch and part workbench feels quite solid, no crashes and I am fast enough to make profit.

I bought a used Synology before knowing more about NAS alternatives. I hated every minute with it… Because it was a bit older, security updates could stop anytime. And using the proprietary OS felt even more unsave. Who knows what backdoors are build in there? I sold it after I found out that there is no way to install a custom OS or any alternative to the proprietary version.

His reply was so serious, I didn’t dare to whoosh him. What if that reply was a joke as well? The internet is a scary place.

I think the Mastodon people toot.
