Cool I’ll check that out

Are you referring to ollama?

I’m sure syncthing works great for you but another option is Self Hosted Live Sync. It works for me as an iOS user who can’t use syncthing on my phone. It requires a server but given this b community it shouldn’t be a surprise.

I don’t know if I would recommend a comprehensive guide at all tbh. It’s like recommending a comprehensive guide to gardening or reading or something. Just start small with realistic goals and find some good YouTube videos that pique your interest.

I started with unraid (strictly due to the expandability of the array, and I’m still glad I did that) and found SpaceInvader One’s videos to be super helpful, and he continues to put out new videos with new ways of harnessing unraid’s power. After a while I got the hang of it and now I feel comfortable reading the docs of a service and installing it myself and integrating it into my stack. Following communities like these on Lemmy, as well as perusing the Community App Store in unraid is more than enough to expose me to interesting software I want to try out.

I say sit back and enjoy the process. We have a tendency to put pressure on ourselves to do things perfectly and immediately. But tend not to enjoy the learning process. Thinking back five years ago it’s amazing how far my server has come, let alone my ability to control it. Enjoy it!

I agree with a lot of LR’s opinions, especially around right to repair, but he has always been extremely long winded, and guilty of repeating himself a lot in his videos. Not to mention opinionated.

While it’s cool that some people are excited for this and will no doubt learn a ton from this, there is no way I would recommend this to anyone.

RAID is a great backup alternative.

Came here to suggest unraid as well. There are probably better options, but for a first timer, I can’t imagine a better solution. The ability to just add a hard drive to the array with virtually not configuration, as well as adding up to two parity disks is great. Caching is super easy too.

Plus they now support zfs so there’s that.

I started using qbit about a year ago after using deluge. I have gb down and 100mb up.

Unironically, a lot of that ratio is from Linux isos and other open source software distribution. Take the load off their servers!

I, too, am a seeder.

You used to be able to paste any number of emails into a group in outlook. Now you have to add one email at a time.

Got 100 email addresses to add to a group? Fuck you.

No “upgrade” has impeded my productivity as much as W11 and the new office.

Either way I’m stuck on W11 at work. No way am I installing teams on my machine at home.

Teams.

I fucking hate teams.

Why are we using teams.

Why did they change outlook, it used to actually be good.

Word on the street is that one of the mods forgot to renew the domain. I heard that it will probably be up and running again before too long.

They got me!

My guess is that if it ever does go to court that N’s argument will be that you don’t own the keys.

Necessary and unavailable?

The best advice I’ve heard is to not overthink the distribution. There are so many, and the differences are actually a lot smaller than people let on. Most of the differences are cosmetic, and the differences that are not cosmetic are things a beginner wouldn’t notice, like package management policies.

Ubuntu, while not perfect, probably has the most straightforward installation process and is widely used so you can get lots of help online.

Once you get a little more comfortable with Linux, check out the Arch Linux Wiki. It is filled with lots and lots of really good info that usually pertains to all Linux distributions, not just Arch.

Start following different Linux communities on Lemmy and Mastadon, there are many great communities.

Also, there will always be assholes who gate keep - this is not unique to Linux. So ignore the few haters out there, there is an overwhelming majority of super helpful and kind people out there.

It’s actually incredible how good Linux is, and it’s entirely free. No ads, no bullshit, just a rock solid OS. It’s staggering how small a proportion of people use it.
