Matrix with the Jitsi meet plugin.

So are shitty crops just a thing now, like Instagram tilt?

I think the protocol is open, both for client and server. Microsoft’s implementation is proprietary, but there are other compatible implementations, KRDC is a server implementation of the protocol that is opensource that KDE uses for Plasma. It’s definitely not ready for primetime, I’m very hopeful this Redhat implementation gains traction amongst distros because Redhat has the resources to throw at it, and the ethics to opensource it.

RDP is very well developed and an open standard. I don’t have a lot good to say about Microsoft, but RDP is one of their wins. It’s blazingly fast compared to any other remote desktop protocol and there’s an extremely full-featured client for Linux in FreeRDP that can be used at the CLI or with one of the various wrappers for it.

If every distro just shipped and supported it for their desktops, it would make life much easier than knitting together the current underperforming patchwork of solutions for Linux.

I refuse to answer that or any other question.

When using WSL, be sure to not mention anything about that when reporting bugs because that’ll just confuse the issue for the maintainers. They like having that casually mentioned about 20 messages into the troubleshooting process.

A beard is for enjoying leftovers later. Get with the program, beardo.

The issue last time I looked into btrfs mirrors was it’s poor reporting of disk problems and letting it boot with a borked drive. Might be fixed, but that was a 10 year old unresolved bug at that time. Seemed like a WONTFIX and I didn’t need that for a server OS drive.

It’s not good at letting you know when a disk is borked. And normally if you reboot a mirror with a bad disk, it will complain so you know to fix it even if you missed the log entries about it being down. Btrfs will quietly just let you boot into a potentially lethal situation for a mirror with a bad slave.

And there was something about scrubs that was janky as well

For a workstation, btrfs is probably fine. It’s the shits at software RAID, but that’s rarely a thing on a workstation.

Look at btrfs-assistant for adminstration. That’s what Fedora ships with, I think it uses Snapper in the backend.

Isn’t normal? Maybe if you never injured them doing things. Knee problems are extremely common, human knees are poorly evolved and prone to injury just by being used.

Backpacking, skiing, horse riding wrecked mine long ago. Now I just try to keep the surrounding muscles fit to hold all the loose shit together.

So set the books up in a collection, and add each book. RSS the collection and each book shows up as an episode. I wouldn’t want chapters as episodes, that would be annoying usually.

Since they’re different applications entirely and you wouldn’t use the same client for each, I use Calibre as a kasmweb docker image for ebooks and enable OPDS for it to hook up with my FBreader app. Audiobooks are done with Audiobookshelf and outputs an RSS feed for Antennapod subscription.

That is quite the monstrosity there…

I’ve ran email servers for 30 years, I think I got it cased, but thanks for your input.

Every time I’ve tried Kubuntu it’s been a mess. Though it’s been a couple years since I subjected myself to it. It’s still going to use Snaps, so there’s that.

If they want bulletproof and up to date, Fedora KDE.

I thought this was America!

Fedora KDE is what I’ve settled on for the last couple years. I’ve used Linux a very long time, this setup has been completely painless since I installed, and always very up to date.

I’ve been using Linux for almost 30 years, and I agree with you completely. There should be a plethora of tools to organize SSH hosts, but unfortunately none of them are great, or at least I’ve never particular gelled with any. I just remember the hostnames and what user I happen to use for each, and copy my keys around, because I jump around between a lot of computers.

I did use SSHwifty for a while because then I could just jump into a browser and go to a webpage with all of them. Dunno why I got away from that, it was handy.

Konsole has an SSH Manager plugin you can enable.
