  • I think that’s kind of what they meant. I’ve also selfhosted Nextcloud for years, but I only use file sync and calendar/contacts.

    Lately I’ve been feeling that Nextcloud is too big and clunky for just that. Like it’s something I’d love to setup at work or for an org, but that it “feels” to heavy for home use these days.

    I need to check out Radicale, I think.










  • Writing systemd services for your containers is something yoully have to get used to with podman, pretty much. It’s actually very easy with the built in command “podman generate systemd”, so you can just do something like " podman generate systemd --name my-container > /etc/systemd/system". I much prefer managing my containers with systemd over the docker daemon. It’s nice!

    Also, podman can use privileged ports as root, right?


  • I used to manage the file hierarchy myself, but I haven’t done that for years at this point. Same goes for tagging files and such. I just download everything to a root folder called “music” and let lidarr handle everything from there.

    Lidarrs default file structure is something like {Artist}/{Album}{Year}/{Track} . This can of course be changed. Then I let lidarr just tag everything for me automatically, embedding album art and such.

    It’s a great setup overall, but I don’t know where Lidarr indexes it’s music library from, because some artists and albums might be missing sometimes. That’s really the only pain point.





  • I get why they’re doing it, so it’s not a big deal for me as long as I can still use single click to open folders.

    That being said, double click always seemed like a weird “hack” to use what is essentially the main function of the left click, no? As in, the primary thing I want to do when left clicking something is to go to that thing. Go to that folder, go to that link and go to (open) that application. “Selecting” is not the main action I use so I’ve always felt weird when “selecting” gets what is essentially the main function of the mouse, the left click.


  • I haven’t used Manjaro in years so my experiences are not up to date, but from my experiences it always felt unpolished and somewhat amateurish compared to other distributions, especially compared to Arch.

    I’ve made Arch crash many times but part of their ideology is that Arch “is as stable as your are”. So when I made Arch crash it always felt like a fault of my own.

    Manjaro, however, that has marketed itself as a new user friendly distro borked itself after updates just as often as Arch. Back in the day at least. For a newbie oriented distro I don’t think this is excusable.

    Then Manjaro has done some really weird choices over the years, like with them shipping a proprietary office suite. As well as them not renewing their SSL certs in time for their forum. Several times…

    Still, I don’t like the idea of point release operating systems so I’ve always kept to rolling release systems, and if you want a solid rolling release then I have to recommend OpenSuse Tumbleweed. Haven’t crashed even once in the 5+ years I’ve been using it on several PC’s and servers (in the form of MicroOS).
