I just use borg on a timer. I can set it on my various machines via a shell script or on my NixOS machine in the config. I have it backup stuff daily at the same time, have automatically remove old backups after a certain period of time, and I can easily mount it to whatever computer using an alias. I don’t think about it, just does it, easy peasy.

Guix is fine. Some people complain about the “speed” of it and some people who want to game say it’s a no go. I haven’t played around much with it myself so I can’t speak on it first hand so YMMV.

flakes, in the most basic terms, is a solution to “well it works on my machine”.

So say you develop something within a flake, you can then take that flake and reproduce it 100% on whatever machine you choose. so what ever your building in it if it worked on your machine, it’s going to work on all machines.

It’s also good for configuring your NixOS. your configs are within the flake and if something happens to your system or you want to replicate your system completely on another machine you can. i.e. you push your nixos config to a git repo and then you can clone it where ever and now you have your complete OS setup somewhere else. Like say if your system borks and you need to reinstall Arch or Ubuntu or whatever it will take awhile to get it set up completely has you had it before. With NixOS and Flakes it’s like 10minutes tops to get back to where you were.

should be find depending on the chat server.

I mean hell we used to do this way back in the day with IRC and Quake servers. it’s not hard at all and you don’t need to over think it. I mean it’s not like the thing is going to crash often so I’m not sure why you want to spread it out. I generally reboot my server like once a month and it takes all of 5min.

Depending on the game and the type of chat server you’re looking to run I don’t think you need to over think it. Just start out with like a VPS, see how it goes, maybe switch it up to a dedicated. neither are expensive.

I use Bitwardens self hosted option, VaultWarden, that I run in a docker. works fine. I use it with the bitwarden CLI since I’m using QuteBrowser on all my machines. I then run a weekly backup of my vaultwarden to an external ssd.

Beauty of it is that it will also work with Bitwardens extension on chrome or firefox. So if I’m on another machine and I need access to my PW’s I can just install the extension, add my self-hosted vaultwarden, then remove it when i’m done.

sure thing, just gonna get started on it now so…give me like 20min.

Sorry, took 30min not 20…anywho https://market.andmc.ca

welp guess I’ll set up a Canadian instance for this today. I like it. good idea.

done. https://market.andmc.ca

PLEASE NOTE FOR MY FELLOW CANUCKS: I’m just starting a test on it within the GTA (Greater Toronto Area) at like a 50km range. if it’s fine after a couple days then i’ll gradually expand it out. I DON’T have a lot of time to work on it today so It’s very bare bones right now but it’s up and seems to be working fine. have at it I suppose.

Second NOTE: I have no clue how to deal with a marketplace so as far as “rules” go i’m clueless so…don’t be a dick.

I run Akkoma, Navidrome, Searx, valutwarden, RomM, Forgejo, wireguard, RDP, and a few other things all via docker. Honestly I just keep everything in their own dir and just have Yazi on my server to make it easier to manage. I don’t auto update anything, it’s all manual updates.

I’m probably going to slap Watchtower in there to just make things easier. don’t really need to over think it in all honesty.

I know when I tried to sign up with Herztwhatever, the other popular European one, they wanted my ID and I said no way. but yeah OVH has never once asked for mine.

really? I never had to do that. They’ve left me alone since I originally signed up with them.

Honestly the one Linux community that has been the nicest and most helpful for me has been the NixOS one…but I don’t use the official channels. I tried but like you said it seemed to be anything and everything EXCEPT actual Nix and NixOS.

outside of that your average NixOS user has been a pleasant experience to deal with.

Meanwhile if you step into the Arch forums you have like ONE moderator with the DBZ avatar that rules with an iron fist and I for one applaud them for it.

I have OVH for dedicated but I’ve also used their VPS and they’re great. They leave me alone, don’t hound me for anything, cheap prices, reliable as I’ve never had issues them. can’t complain. They’re Euro based but they have servers near me in Montreal so I use that which is great when I put my VPN on there cause now I get student discounts everywhere since my server is at McGill University.

yeah I know I just thought i’d be funny for people to be cloning and pushing a bunch of porn repos and then throwing their “personal” stash into .gitignores

yeah because when I want to be social or check out porn github is the first place that pops to mind.

Although…now that I think about it…doing git clone on a porn repo would be convenient. could even easily update it. hm…Actually I think Australia might be on to something here

yeah and boomers were saying the same about us when we were watching a squirrel singing about “Gonads and strife” or a badly translated Sega Genesis game claiming “All your base are belong to us”

ALL generations watch dumb shit, stop acting like this ONE generation suddenly originated dumb shit to watch.

Well ends up there’s a nixos package for it so I gave it a shot, been using it for the last couple days. I dig it more than Feishin so I switched to it. it’s not bad, pretty good.

I might, but I don’t have any issues with Feishin so unless it does something way better than I’m happy with what I have.

tried it, but the appimage would just constantly break for whatever reason. just wouldn’t load half the time.

Switched to Feishin for my navidrome server and prefer it, simple and clean.

I have a private instance of Forgejo in docker on my server. took me all of 5 minutes to set up. I did this only because I wanted a web based GUI for some stuff.
