Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Gitea 1.25.0 | 3D file previews, improved archive downloads, enhanced authentication, and more security, API and workflow upgrades like automatic repo forking and email notifications for actionsEnglish
7·2 days agoWhy overly complex? What do you mean?
Gitea is alright. It’s a very well working git server.
Someone probably wanted the 3d preview and maybe it wasn’t difficult. You could say integrating “gitea pages” would be a high priority but that doesn’t mean that there can be side quests along the way. You can probably read the PR if you want to know why it’s included

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•How often do you update software on your servers?English
2·3 days agoOn my ubuntu I use unattended updates but that doesn’t work reliably. I have to update it manually most of the time. Once every other month.
On my fedora server it auto updates every day at 4 reliably.
The next server is going to be atomic such that the server restart is even shorter (not that I would care about it at 4).

Linux@lemmy.ml•Different installation methods and system stability
21·9 days agoflatpak > distrobox > nix > appimage > brew > .deb
I never installed any gui via podman. Not sure when it applies
If an app has bugs via flatpak, then don’t use the flatpak. Maybe it’ll be resolved in a year and then switch.
Edit: removed snap from list

linuxmemes@lemmy.world•Somehow *this* is what's going to convince me to distro hop.
2·10 days agoNix is awesome but has a steep learning curve imo.
I’ll have a look into the installer nowadays whrn I get to it, thx for the hint.

12·11 days agoIs nix already “normie” compatible? It has to become much easier.
I really like home manager but even that is too difficult right now.
Same for flatpak, it’s on a good path but there is still lots of room for improvement

76·11 days agoYou can just use a distrobox …
The package manager isn’t that much of a reason to choose a distro anymore.
Neofetch is not maintained anymore. I can recommend fastfetch.
Thanks!
I was searching for that log page in the settings / dashboard😅
How do I know that the migration is over?
Installing arch is not difficult. Difficult is to keep track on innovation in the linux space. You are responsible to install and maintain everything. You have to decide if you want something like selinux, at what time it is mature enough to use it, install and use it. You have to evaluate if selinux is better than it’s “competitors”. You have to decide which firewall you use today and as soon as a new system pops up, you have to read up on it. You decide at what time flatpak is mature enough to use it. All this and much more is done and decided by distro maintainers. They keep up with new stuff and guide you. By using arch, you decide that you want to take care of it and that is ok, but no “normal” pc user who uses her PC once a week shall be expected to read upon all the computer maintenance stuff that is just of secondary importance to her.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Assign privileged port to caddy running with rootless podmanEnglish
14·15 days agoYou don’t have to add 8080.
You can just remove the restriction if you don’t want it. But that’s just a classical xy problem. OP does not want to use 80 just doesn’t know that he doesn’t want it because he’s looking for something else.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Which Linux distro would you say that fits me best? Do you think the LLM got it right?
63·17 days agoI think it’s astonishing that people still recommend linux based on the DE. As if there was no other difference. The big distros all support the big DEs.

Linux@lemmy.ml•I just found out my fiancee wants to switch to linux, lets start a distro war, what should be her first? + other questions
3·19 days agoOn atomic distros, you install stuff mostly via flatpak and distrobox. I’d even recommend using distrobox on traditional systems because you can just kill the box if you don’t want it any longer. You can have multiple package managers at the same time installed without problems, e.g. yay, dnf and zypper. I guess you could even take your box with you when switching to a new distro (e.g. when switching from atomic fedora to opensuse as I did recently) but I have not yet done that.
Yes, management could be more end user friendly, but it’ll get there
