  • What do you use as your personal domain for email?

    Jump

  • [email protected] would be ideal, I use [email protected], but that wont be good for sharing. I would stick to a common TLD at least (.com, .net, .org, or a country) for deliverability.

  • Hetzner announces price hike for cloud servers and bandwidth cut of up to 95%

    Jump

  • Check out Lunanode. Cheapest option is 3.50 a month and bonus points for being Canadian. I just recently set my VPS up there and am really pleased with them. Afaik they support your needs including custom ISO.

  • What's your self-induced pain points fellow linux users

    Jump

  • I have an HP printer

  • Will there be any issues with a .place domain for email?

    Jump

  • If its a mission critical use, I would stick to a more common TLD (com, org, net, etc). Country TLDs should be okay too.

  • How do you, or do you vet if a software will paywall features or "enshittify"?

    Jump

  • Just use open source software?

  • What item(s) that you currently own do you expect to be using for the rest of your life given that you don't break or lose it?

    Jump

  • Came here to say my DE razor that I bought second hand which was made before WW2. Still going strong and used every day.

  • which phone should i buy?

    Jump

  • I'm still rocking a OP6 running the latest Lineage. Cost me $60 used. $1000 for a phone is insane!

  • How do I use public URLs but route within my home network?

    Jump

  • What I do to keep DNS consistent inside and out is use Tailscale on all my clients. I host a DNS server hosted on my tailnet that is set up as split DNS for my "kickassdomain.org".

  • What are your Homelab goals for 2025?

    Jump

  • Fwiw I switched from k3s to Talos and find it much easier to manage. I run 3 mini 1L PCs with rook-ceph and it works flawlessly even on 1Gbe.

  • What are some useful general maintenance tips can you give to people living on their own in apartments or housing?

    Jump

  • I'm pretty happy with the combo of a cheap, thin mattress with a nicer memory foam topper on it. Affordable, and can replace the topper separately if needed producing less waste than needing a whole new mattress.

    What do you think you know about nutrition and what is "healthy"?

    Jump

  • If you have done a partial gene sequence for a service like ancestry or 23andme you can just look at the raw data and search for the known polymorphisms.

    What do you think you know about nutrition and what is "healthy"?

    Jump

  • Methylated B vitamins and vitamin D were life changing discoveries. I have some polymorphisms (VDR and MTHFR) that mean I am less efficient at absorbing them from food. 2000 IU a day and a B-complex ended chronic depression/anxiety and insomnia for me. Those mutations are pretty common so I highly recommend trying them for anyone with similar issues.

    Aside from that I think a whole foods plant based diet with some eggs and fish and no refined sugars is probably the way to go. Some micronutrients like vitamin A and K2 are more easily absorbed from animal sources, so eating a small amount of meat and/or eggs is probably a bit healthier than pure plant based IMO.

  • Recommendation for Email-Provider

    Jump

  • I quite like Fastmail. It's a bit expensive but the service is very reliable and they have a well established reputation. You can create masked emails using their domain or your own from the web interface.

  • what foss phone OS do you use and why?

    Jump

  • As of the latest release (21), you can simply install microG on regular LOS and no longer need to install LineageOS for microG since it now includes the necessary signature spoofing support.

  • Self-hosted YouTube frontend with some additional features

    Jump

  • Invidious?

  • What is/was your distrohopping journey?

    Jump

  • Ubuntu -> Arch -> Debian (stable) -> Fedora Silverblue -> NixOS

  • Which file system do you recommend for Linux?

    Jump

  • I'm curious, why do you use LVM with BTRFS and not just use BTRFS built in subvolumes?

  • Which file system do you recommend for Linux?

    Jump

  • btrfs snapshots are still useful on immutable distros to recover accidentally deleted data.

  • Is ansible worth learning to automate setting up servers?

    Jump

  • You will hate Ansible if you are coming from Nix. I went the other way and Nix is 1000x cleaner.

    Being able to actually reverse changes is trivial in Nix, but can be a headache in Ansible. Not to mention the advantages of writing in an actual language and not yaml full of template hacks. I personally don't see much future for tools like Ansible, there is considerable inertia working in its favor right now and it is absolutely true that it is widely used, but the future of configuration management is for sure more aligned with how Nix works.
