I set up a server with all my stuff on, and use syncthing for syncing my files, and self hosting for services. I mostly use vanilla configs for apps, and prefer distros with good defaults.
Some time ago I switched to Bluefin, and stopped distro-hopping 😅
I agree. I learned and used emacs and org mode for several years. With age, I now want simpler tools that do not need extensive configuration. Using mainly Spyder and VS Code for python coding
Yes it is correct. TLDR; threads run one code at the time, but can access same data. processes is like running python many times, and can run code simultaneously, but sharing data is cumbersome.
If you use multiple threads, they all run on the same python instance, and they can share memory (i.e. objects/variables can be shared). Because of GIL (explained by other comment), the threads cannot run at the same time. This is OK if you are IO bound, but not CPU bound
If you use multiprocessing, it is like running python (from terminal) multiple times. There is no shared memory, and you have a large overhead since you have to start up python many times. But if you have large calculations you can do in parallell that takes long time, it will be much faster than threads as it can use all cpu cores.
If these processes need to share data, it is more complicated. You need to use special functions to share data, like queues and pipes. If you need to share many MB of data, this takes a lot of time in my experience (10s of milliseconds).
If you need to do large calculations, using numpy functions or numba may be faster than multiple processes, due to good optimizations. But if you need to crunch a lot of data, multiprocessing is usually the way to go
if i remember correctly, i just replaced gitea with forgejo for image: in my docker-compose, and it just worked
it was a couple of versions back, so i don’t know if that still works
You could take a look at one of the universal blue distros next time you want to try some linux https://universal-blue.org/
I use bazzite on my gaming pc and bluefin on my laptop. It is immutable linux, but the devs made the defaults really nice (for me at least)
I tried this, but couldn’t find a better editor as android app. The closest I got was Zettel notes. But silverbullet worked better
Yes, I have used it for many months. It has been the best solution for my use case for a while. Which is tasks, shopping, planning (trips, …), recipes, and a simple knowledgebase. It was the offline support that set it apart from some other solutions
I have the files in a syncthing folder, so I can access the files without running silverbullet
My biggest problem is keeping up with all the changes. Zef made some youtube videos that are helpful
I installed k-9 mail / Thunderbird on my android phone and set it to sync all emails, so I have local copy on my phone
I also have internal only traffic, but I still use let’s encrypt. I self signed for a couple of years, but switching to proper certificates made things much simpler and better. Especially on mobile.
I use a combination of my own domain and caddy. and duckdns, since my domain registrar does not have an api caddy can use, but I can point my domain to my duckdns domain and it works 👍
I too use miniflux and I like it
I made a post some weeks ago https://lemmy.world/post/9574514
This is what I do, using proxmox.
I do something similar to https://youtu.be/Hu3t8pcq8O0 for the NAS bit. Then I have a VM with docker containers for different services
I use debian now for the first time in years. But the new version just released, so we’ll see how long it lasts
I use silverbullet, it is great for tasks and notes! https://silverbullet.md/ - the manual itself uses it, so it is both a manual and a demo page
I’m trying it out now 🙂 I didn’t know about this one, thanks!
I miss the swipe to mark as read. Otherwise it looks nice, I’ll try it for a few days!
For me, it makes the clients disposable. I can reinstall the laptop, desktop, phone and be up and running in no time, without doing backups and preparation. Also it is easy to jump between clients.
The server needs to be backed up though
I would recommend using one of the distros backed by a big company or have very long track records. They are less likely to break on updates, and have a higher chance of supporting any uncommon hardware you may have.
If you have new hardware (e.g. GPU newer than 6 months) you will probably have issues. Follow the recommendations from the hardware supplier, or use something arch based. I used Manjaro a while when I got new hardware.
Besides those tips, you should decide which desktop environment you like best. I prefer gnome, as I enjoy to spend time in apps and not on in settings. Others prefer customization. Have a look at https://youtu.be/09cYQJBgKEs?si=KX8FZeMRcMlPTzG2
It works OK from the web page, but scrolling to the next item was a bit wonky for me. Using the swipe mode mis-fired when I was horisontally scrolling code. And double tapping didn’t always work.
The UX feels smoother in News. You also get thumbnail images. And you can open the link to the source directly, which I prefer for some of my feeds. For me, the experience is smoother.
I have used both, and syncthing is the most stable in my opinion. But you will get sync conflicts/ duplicates if you work on the same file
For working on markdown files you should additionally look into https://silverbullet.md , it’s great 🙂. It has offline mode. But it will also generate duplicates if you edit the same file offline
Yes, sorry - I meant the storage space on mobile phone. or a laptop.
Have you considered gollum https://github.com/gollum/gollum ?
I used it a long time ago, but then I wanted to try the next shiny note taking app…
