I have an N100 mini PC running all of my self hosted stuff and it is amazing.

I never used Docker compose. If I had two containers that needed to communicate, I’d just setup networking for them.

I was using Debian and Docker for my servers, but I’m switching to uCore and Podman. It was a decent learning curve, but I think I’m going to like it better.

I was so excited for the game that I got ahold of a leaked alpha before the game released and played that. And then of course pre-ordered the game and played it immediately​ when it released.

I was really excited for Otherworld.

It’s great.

I will admit to being one of the people who bought this DLC when it came out. I was very engrossed in the game at that time and felt like $2.50 was trivial enough that I just went for it.

Now, I was uninformed about what the armor did and was disappointed that it was only cosmetic. But I don’t remember regretting buying it.

In hindsight, I wish I hadn’t bought it. And it’s something I wouldn’t buy now.

Home Assistant, Zigbee2Mqtt, MQTT, AdGuard, Synching, Caddy, WireGuard, and maybe a few other lightweight containers.

The biggest load I run on it is Frigate NVR. With all of that, it stays around 25% CPU usage.

I’ve been running my home server on an N100 for like 10 months or so.

I love it. It’s a little workhorse that just sips power.

Valve have done scummy things, too. But I’m not going to pretend that somehow they’re both equally bad.

I’m never giving the company that made billions exploiting the FOMO of children my money. I won’t install the launcher. I don’t didn’t need their free games.

I don’t care if they can throw their massive pile of Fortnite cash around to give developers more money.

Update: I love you.

It took a couple tries to get my desktop and laptop connected, and I don’t know why, but it definitely works.

I’m going to really miss clipboard sharing, but I can make do for now.

I don’t think I mentioned it, but my work laptop is Windows 11, so I’m happy to report that this is working great even on Windows.

Ublue are based off of Kinoite. If you want something less “bloated”, try that. You can even rebase from Bluefin to that, I believe.

Keep in mind there are two versions of Bluefin/Aurora. Regular, and “-dx” which is more developer focused with more developer tools.

I will give that a shot. It definitely looks like it fits the bill.

If it works, I love you.

Any software KVM like Synergy.

I work from home and Synergy has been a core part of my setup for many years.

It lets me use my personal PC and work laptop from one KB+M seamlessly.

I’ve tried so many different things. Input Leap, installed on Aurora by default, is supposed to work with Wayland, but doesn’t work out of the box.

I’m resigned to using Windows during the week so I can use Synergy and switching back to Linux over the weekend because I prefer it now.

I think KDE is doing the heavy lifting of being like Windows. As a long time Windows user who would every now and then try Ubuntu and hate it, it was Gnome that really turned me off. KDE is so much nicer, IMO.

I started on Bazzite as my first real Linux desktop. After a while I rebased to Aurora (Bluefin but KDE instead of Gnome) and I really liked it. I ended up rebasing back to Bazzite for a while.

My only issue is around a very specific piece of software that has issues with Wayland. That’s why all the rebasing.

Being able to rebase so easily like that is so freaking cool.

I guarantee this game is nothing like that. It will be forgotten immediately.

As a Java developer, and someone who never learned Python or other scripting languages, Node is my go-to scripting language. I’ve only come around to it for that in the past year or two. But it’s great.

And then when to do learn it, it pisses you off when something doesn’t have a freely available image.
