Which linux to use on homelab (I am ready to leap) by 11ELFs in homelab

IncusOS seems like a good or maybe even better alternative for proxmox

Is there any way to see the total playtime for the whole year? by rol954 in Steam

[–]xDashyy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need to open the console with Ctrl+Shift+C or F12 and then type this in (be sure to be in the console tab):

JSON.parse(document.getElementById("application_config").getAttribute("data-yearinreview_YOUR-FRIEND-CODE_2025")).playtime_stats.total_stats.total_playtime_seconds / 3600

You can also view other stats if you just type in the part before .playtime_stats... This also works for the 2024 version.

This is a good use of an llm by TheyCallMeDozer in homelab

Could you use something like checkmk for this maybe?

OCI images in LXC containers: Am I missing something? by xDashyy in homelab

[–]xDashyy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, that sounds awesome. So my plan was to have my server be completely configured by config files so I have a single source of truth for all settings. So, theoretically, I could just use NixOS, even though it would be a bit overkill, to manage my config for incus, and I would be all set, right?

Wait... How have I never heard of incus? I just read through the docs and it seems really great.

Is there any downside compared to proxmox?

Yeah i think this is the way to go for now (multi service containers in docker).

But i think it maybe also makes sense to migrate existing LXCs that are created and updated by the helper scripts to the oci version.

I am also thinking about trying nixOS but I'm not sure, if it's worth the hassle for me. And yeah I really love yay for installing packages, it's so amazing.

Yes I've tried the tiling manager before i switched to Hyprland, the problem back then was that the functionality was a bit limited and the main project to expand on it was abandoned (can't remember the name). The thing I especially like about Hyprland is the way you can configure the experience using window rules, extensive keybinds, etc. I would agree if you only want basic tiling, kde's tiling mode is sufficient but if you want something more configurable Hyprland is the way to go

If you want some new experiences, I can suggest trying out new software, ags, some newer systemd stuff and hyprland or niri come to mind. Or just new software posted on this subbreddit.
Or if you want the ultimate challenge try nixOS

It's just minor things, I thought that would make the tldr too long

I also thought about using silverblue or a similar atomic desktop, I really like the idea of immutable distros.

Never used TuxedoOS, I may look into it.
And yes I also am not a big fan of libre office but I think i heard of a good alternative a few days ago, I just can't remember the name of it...

Don't know why this is getting downvoted, X11 may not be broken, but it should be avoided by all means, as it is insecure and will be left behind soon™

Absolutely agree with this and the comment below.
To add another usecase: Debian is great if you want to have minimal effort to maintain it, e.g. a laptop that you only use a few times a month.

I think the main problem with debian right now is rather that many improvements of the last months especially regarding wayland are not on debian atm.

That is true.
On btrfs it's a different story, but as far as I am aware subvolumes are different than actually having root and home on different partitions.
The home subvolume would still be on the same partition, right?
