What operating system do you use on your main computer? in c/[email protected]

[–] world_hopper 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah dual boot is probably also bad long term for your drives if you switch frequently enough.

I havent switched the host and guest either because of how much work will have to go into configuring so I get that too.

Just looked up photopea and that's interesting I'll have to try it out!

Can always run a linux distro with a windows VM in virtualbox to access those softwares when you need them.

I do the exact opposite rn but my plan is to switch them... whenever I get around to it......

Windows 10 but I do most of my work in an ubuntu 22.04 VM in virtualbox. But use windows for games and casual use.

Server runs ubuntu 20.04 server which has a bunch of services for my network and my main storage.

Laptop runs ubuntu 22.04 desktop. It's an old laptop so I'm using ubuntu to extend its life.

is nextcloud still the best to host a small amount of files that need to be accessible anywhere and backed up? and carddav caldav in c/selfhosted

I'm working through transitioning to it so I can consolidate things like my calendar, passwords, and trello as well as serve files.

I am worried that one day I'll sit at work, try to look at my calendar and realize I need to spend an hour updating it before I can actually get to my work. Or just to get to a single password.

No-IP has been great for me for about a year now. No complaints.

This is great AITA copypasta lmao

I was just saying how normal the comments on these posts are and it feels.... weird.

OP, NTA

AITA for calling my ex girlfriend a cheater while she denied it in c/aita

I'm gonna say mild ESH. Based on the details, I think you should have gotten the hint especially after how many times she said "as a friend". But she should have just said something.

How do you guys self host? in c/selfhosted

[–] world_hopper 1 points 2 years ago

I'll check it out! Appreciate the suggestion

How feasible would it be to use one computer as a combined server/desktop with virtualization? in c/selfhosted

[–] world_hopper 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I've thought about this too. All the hypervisors I've wanted to test or use to try operating systems quickly require browser usage over the network.

Which hypervisors are people using for OP's type of use case? KVM?

I originally thought it was overkill for me, who just needed to access files, until I read about deck, calendar, and chat. Now I'm ultra sold. I'm tired of slack, trello, email, calendar all being in different places.

Also, you don't need a crazy router to get started. Mine is a crappy $100 router. Most will have port forwarding if you need to expose ports, or ddns if you want a domain name. There are some things you'd want a slightly more powerful router for (like maybe a media server serving most of your house). But you can always upgrade your router.
