Anybody used this yet? Will this be the btrfs killer I've been hearing it might be?

I recently rebuilt my home server using containers instead of (qemu/KVM) VMs and I notice a performance benefit in some areas. Although I just use systemd-nspawn containers rather than docker as I don't really see the need to install 3rd party software for a feature already installed on my OS.

I handle snapshots by using btrfs. Works great

Something about buying and using a Google device doesn't sit right with me but you may be right, this may be the best solution.

Alacritty for me

Prolly not exactly what you're looking for but an option nonetheless: make jam. The sugar helps preserve, plus put it in jars and put the jar in the fridge, lasts a long time

I'm not going to argue that xmpp shouldn't be the defacto Foss social/chat network based on merit, it definitely has merit. But in reality, it had its shot and it did not take off. Now, in 2023, Matrix is our best shot at an open, Foss, decentralized chat protocol taking off.

Any arguments that xmpp evangelists will try to come back at this statement with do not matter. I'm sorry, it is just a fact, the clock isn't turning back. Matrix may not be perfect for everybody, but it's pretty damn great, and it has the momentum right now. Let's please not screw this up with the typical fragmentation the open source community regularly has.

Sometimes I love it sometimes I hate it. Sometimes I hate it at first then grow to love it. Radiohead is a great example of change that I love. First album was mediocre rock, second was much better rock, third was one of the best albums of all time layered... space rock? Then the biggest shift of all to Kid A. Over and over again.

David Bowie is another example of successfully changing sound over and over.

Beastie Boys went from a hardcore band to hip hop.

I know there are examples of bands where I didn't like the change but I guess I remember the ones I like more. Weezer and Smashing Pumpkins are two bands that got worse over time, although they didn't change their sound up quite as much as the above mentioned.

Used infinity for reddit for years. Tried all the Lemmy apps and liked many of them, but this immediately felt like home again. Thanks for all of the work

Found this recently and loving it. Only issue I have is it loads every episode of a podcast when you click on the podcast, so if you have a pod with 1000 episodes, you're gonna be waiting a few seconds when you click on it. Makes it feel sluggish.

Antenna pod and other apps load the pod instantly with a handful of episodes and then load more if you scroll. That makes way more sense.

It'd be great if this was easily installable outside of gnome. I'd love an easy way to do this on sway or hyprland. Unless there already is a way?

When deciding between the two I went with Netbird as it is fully self hostable and entirely opensourcen. Also, kernel wireguard support. There were a couple of bugs with some updates but I spoke with the devs over Matrix and got them all resolved. Works fantastic!
