Apparently this was a controversial take

When I first started learning how to Linux long ago everyone recommended Ubuntu… and I had a similar issue to the OP.

I had to dump the EDID of my monitor from a Windows machine to actually get X to recognise any kind of monitor modes …it was an eye opening experience for a newbie.

Today, I still dont really like it for other reasons (I’d take Debian over Ubuntu any day). Call me crazy here guys but I think its okay to share an opinion without being called an edgelord for it.

(I use arch btw 🎩)

Have you used it for this lately?

I want to believe it used to be okay for this, but just yesterday I uses it to generate some pretty basic bash and I’m honestly not convinced it saved me any time after I cleaned it all up and actually made it functional

What? Gitea. Gitlab is a complete devops platform. Awesome, but complete overkill.

Why? Because I regularly commit code atrocities and have a hard enough time dealing with imposter syndrome, I don’t need to add public shaming on top of it (And just data sovereignty I guess)

Hang in there, three unicorns

Yeah, nightmare fuel I guess

I’m usually an XFCE guy but I’m giving Cinnamon a whirl at the moment

Buy a nice TV

Give it a static IP

Firewall it off from the internet

Voila!

Edit: Make sure it cant call UPNP on your router or any such tomfoolery

We’re seeing a few of these lately, hey

Token Aussie reporting in. Good effort.

Given this is was described as a shout this probably more of a ‘COOOO-EEEEEEEee!’

Or maybe a ‘OI OVER HERE YA CUNT’, but I cant speak to the tension level at the Canberra DSC.

No, I have people for that

Basically I ran into issues with building images from newer and more complex compose files that podman-compose just couldn’t pull apart.

Docker is still the go-to if you want shit to ‘just work’, it has an easier user experience, it’s what the vast majority of developers building containers are using. You can run rootless if you want without too much pain.

It has come a long way but the probability that you’ll run into some random edge case or other issue with podman is higher, podman-compose has some thorns (high likelihood you’ll need to hack on compose files), if you want containers to start without your interaction you have to bake up systemd unit files for them, etc. I’ve not messed with podman-kube-play - wasn’t even aware of it, so can’t really comment as to how well that works.

There’s nothing to lose by giving it a go except your sanity and time. 😁

Totally respect that, I question my sanity frequently

This individual fornicates

Container host started life as rocky, I honestly can’t remember why I switched distros

The KVM host also hosts a bunch of other random stuff, Debian running on Rocky is just the tip of the junkpile

I know a lot more about self hosting than I did a month ago that’s for sure, I wonder how long until I start trying to use ssh in my dreams.

Now that you’ve written this? Tonight. It’ll happen tonight.

My dream was to find a way to leverage them as poor man’s IP camera or something …one day…

Love keeping that old tech alive! My Core 2 Duo died a couple of years back, if I could figure out a way to leverage old mobile phones for some sort of project I would.

I’ve always called it ‘ghetto IT’ personally.
