Lol what is this nonsense?

I love qtile, currently on Hyprland because i had some issues with extra qtile packages on NixOS but it’s my WM that i cut my teeth on.

Lenovo make laptops that easily run linux

I choose not to open any ports to the Internet for security reasons. But use tailscale to allow access to my home network while im away. It was an easy setup and can put it on all my devices.

NixOS, i was a long time btrfs with snapshots Arch user. But Nix is just more stable and makes my life happy knowing it will always work as a server, desktop, or on a laptop. The config file is easy to read as documentation as code. That can reproduce the setup and even use flakes and home-manager to copy all your dot-files with ease. Just modify the version number in the file to update it and all apps are independent of each other with no weird dependencies. Better rollbacks then btrfs as it uses systemd and you can save git of your configuration files. This is the future

They are solid, the bios was my biggest surprise as there are so many settings i can tweak. Dell and Lenovo both make good boxes for homelabs and run linux well.

NixOS user now. Long time fan of Arch with BTRFS and snapshots but Nix takes everything to the next level.

This man knows. My whole config is stored in github. Super easy to come back to a perfectly setup box or clone it on another machine.

You can use pihole and route your traffic there with a vpn such as tailscale to block ads and more

Optiplex 3070, it’s made a good box for jellyfin, truenas etc. SFF is goof for my needs but if i didnt move often i’d get a regular size to hold more HDD

Dell Optipex i loaded my down with max ram and put 2x 2.5hdd and 1 14TB HDD inside. I’ll probably get a storage case for the HDD’s later.

It’s great software! I’ve only had a couple ISOs that it didn’t allow me to install on bare metal.

The kingpin linux OS

I’m using Memmy for Lemmy on IOS. Works quite well and the first to have an official app for IOS/Lemmy.
