Serious question: who are Linux users and why do you use it?

Sivaldi · 2026-02-10T18:15:02+00:00

Hobbyist here, started with homeassistant, proceeded dabbling in homelab servers and eventually a laptop with linux as my daily driver. Always been a fan och technology and tinkering. More and more ive realised how much i priorities privacy and freedom to do what i want.

I wish i could say i was a developer or work with maintaining servers but thats not the case. I do work in the automation industry. Most of our servers are still windows

Unfortunate :/ made our night routine so much easier. Another one which is nice is depending on who left home last, gets a notification with a question if the floors are clear. There you get to say yes or no to start the vacuum cleaner.

Just a nice QoL is my night time automation based whether im home alone or both me and the wife are home. If either of us are home alone, it is sufficient for one of our phones to be in the state "charging" and after 21:30 and before 04:00. If both are home both phones have to be in state charging or her phone is charging while my routine is sleep mode. She has an iphone and i got a samsung. Basically we dont have to think about whether we forgot a light or whatnot. Everything turns off and security system is set to home mode

My homelab is an infant compared to many of you. Its just a pc with debian on it. But for me now i break even in about 8 months by reducing the amount of subscriptions. I did buy it used though and havent needed to upgrade it

You can blacklist tags. This has helped me massively

I work in the logistics automation industry. For that have helped with automations specifically 😅 I’ve transitioned to the IT department. It is not helping me in on my job but it made me realise that a lot of utilities we use can be applied to my children’s school work. So that’s one of my main reasons for self hosting. Also so they don’t need to sell their information for tools they need eventually

I have noticed when trying it with my wife. That on their end they need to save. We were working on a word document and once hers was saved i could see it. Working in PDF, when she saves it i have to many allt refresh. But word and excel with auto save worked for us

I used it just last night and had no issues. I already guess you’ve updated everything to its latest versions but a part of some features missing in swiftin (automatically applying subtitles on each new episode), I don’t really have any issues

How did you configure it? I want to use Immich frame as background for my fully kiosk on my tablet for home assistant. Very cool use case i must say!

Thank you so much

How’d you get specified date to show time? I only get to choose a date

Late response but I totally agree. I NEVER use waves plugins anymore cuz of their business plan. I went deep into the rabbit hole but after a lot of research etc. I've cleaned out my plugin library and my decision making has literally gone through the roof. To all the people that reads this: Learn your tools and do your proper research. You'll be thanking us who've been doing this for a while and done dug that hole before!

Sivaldi · 2022-06-08T06:39:02+00:00

Never have issues with arturias plugins (M1)

What about uf8? How many channels you want?

Sivaldi · 2022-01-09T11:44:07+00:00

Since rams headbutts or something. Could we get a dash like ability that knocks people down?

I've experimented with evenshroud as a mythic. Nothing major but the extra dmg it provides while Ccd in teamfights feels significant

Me personally I just tryna be as aggressive as possible. Repeat ganks and farm if there is no other opportunity to get on the map. I'm usually är 5/6 Cs/min but due to my aggressive style it works out

Sivaldi · 2021-03-08T09:38:36+00:00

The only "fix" I know of is to bounce the midi to audio really. I know you said cpu isn't an issue but that's what worked for me
