You shouldn’t feel shame, the reasons Manjaro haters give are moronic. There is that one site they love to parrot and every reason on it is stupid… when you ask them about it directly, they don’t even understand half the reasons. Manjaro is awesome! It was the first distro that got me to stick with Linux and uninstall Windows. And this after previously trying it multiple times, as far back as Mandrake Linux. Manjaro converted me.
MXLinux on one if my laptops. Manjaro in my desktop and other laptop. OMV on two of my servers. Dietpi on the 3rd server.
Do you need to serve an actual public like a website does? If not then you shouldn’t be exposing any fucking services except for wireguard for you and your handful of users.
As long as you’re not relying on RAID as your backup. Don’t know why so many people struggle with understanding, RAID is not a backup. It’s a solution to ensure uptime in the face of a lost disk. I would guess most selfhosters shouldn’t be concerned with uptime. Use Borg or restic. Or if you are going to use zfs or btrfs then have a completely separate drive or pool where snapshots are stored.
UnRAID is ass.
No that’s not the exception cordless tools will kill anything from even 10 years ago in torque and speed and weight. This idiot doesn’t know anything. A cheap brushless hercules drill from HF will absolutely destroy a nicad professional grade 10 year old Milwaukee or dewalt.
Again, you have no fucking clue what you’re talking about. Tools have improved significantly. I’ve been in the trades for a long time, I started at 14 years old working for my step dad remodeling houses and doing roofing and plumbing and electrical over 25 years ago. I know what tools were like back then, and the tools we have today. And the tools and processes are night and day better today. Just stfu, you have no clue.
The power tools today kill anything from 10 years ago in torque and speed and weight. Lmao… you think the brushed motors with nicad batteries were better than the brushless motor with lithium we have today? The cordess circ saws could barely make it through a 1/2" sheet of plywood 15 years ago and now tgey rip through it like a corded saw. Fucking please buddy. Ratchets and wrenches have significantly improved with less back drag and more teeth meaning less degree of swing. Wrenches with ratchet ends. All kinds of specialty tools that didn’t exist Processes in plumbing and electrical with pex and other types of clamp and crimp fittings have significantly improved. I can go on and on across multiple tools and processes. You are a moron.
I use healthchecks for all my scripts and making sure my docker containers and services are up. If anything goes down or errors then I get sent a telegram message immediately.
I’ve been forced to use iOS for my work phone and it is absolute dog shit… it feels like Android from 10+ years ago. The lack of customization and dumbass work flows drive me crazy every day.
So many screens in different apps. make you reach way to one corner or the other to go back a screen. In Android, back is one motion that can be done anywhere from any edge. And that behaves consistently across every app. In iOS some apps behave differently, even the same app with a different screen will handle the same gesture differently. It’s an absolute shit show.
Want to open my app list, I just swipe up from anywhere on my screen. Want my notifications, swipe down from anywhere on my screen. In iOS I have to perfectly hit the top edge and slowly drag it down.
There are plenty of other reasons.
Access to the filesystem. Wtf! Lmao. I download a PDF and can’t just open it? I have to basically share it with the app, it’s so dumb.
Split screening apps.
Complete lack of customization. The launcher is ass.
Horrible keyboard and the one I like, SwiftKey is completely neutered and lacks the customization of Android. And some apps will use the apple keyboard even though I changed it to use Swiftkey. Again, no consistency.
Messages will pop a notification then when I open the messenger app they are not there. I can read the message in the notification area, but there is a period of time that it doesn’t display in the actual app. Lmao. Dog shit.
Many, many other things.
Apps and services dying to backgrounding like the hotspot for one will just stop working after a certain amount of time.
Want to know how I change my brightness in Android? I just slide across the status bar in any app on any screen.
When I want to turn my flashlight on, all I do is hold my power button down for 3 seconds. Don’t have to turn my screen on and click anything.
So many things. The settings in iOS are also a joke and the way they are organized, I just hate everything about it. It feels like I’m running Android from 2010 with less customization.
Basically iOS is complete ass.
You obviously don’t know shit about tools. They are waaay better now.
These fools are ridiculous. Ignorance.
You obviously don’t know your way around a terminal at all… I guarantee I can do anything faster in terminal than you can in a GUI. Especially for repeatable tasks like restarting a container.
Wtf at y’all talking about, it’s usually way faster to do these things in terminal. I guarantee I can restart a docker container faster with a terminal then you can with a browser.
Alt+enter brings up a terminal, then I type literally “ssh server” and I’m ssh’d into the box. ‘sudo docker restart containername’ and the password and I’m done before Firefox even loads for your dumbass and I didn’t even have to lift my hands from the keyboard. And for common and repeatable tasks there are these things called aliases and the ability to chain commands. I can condense all of that to a single command. Lmao. GUI plebs are so annoying with their ignorance
That’s why you you bind mount all the important data and back it up with a proper backup solution like borg. And why you also have a monitoring and notification system that alerts you if a service goes down. I will get a telegram message within 15 minutes of a service going down.
I have a Pixel and LineageOS is the best by far. Freedom to root, which I absolutely want… I want full control over my devices. I’m extremely picky about how every little thing runs and works in my phone and I can only get it with root. You can’t get root with GraphenOS without a huge pain in the ass with updates.
It’s hilarious people install GrapheneOS and think they are better off because Google services are installed as user apps instead of system. You lose as soon as you install them either way. They are getting the data they are after no matter if it’s installed as a user app or system app.
But anyway, I’ve been running LineagOS since it used to be Cynogenmod over 10 years ago. It’s the most established and reliable while remaining open to customization by far.
Until Firefox mobile has a functional home button in the toolbar then I don’t care what the fuck the do because I won’t be using it. Dumb as fuck not to have it.
