Window XP was probably the best and last good Windows version… 10 was kinda okay without all the telemetry shit and bloatware.
Windows 11 feels like macOS with extra steps + spyware on every move, click, clipboard copylpast… Wouldn’t go near that stuff even with full protection and debloat ^^ Just remove that shit and install linux instead.
Or people who uses it as a mini server and SSH into it while lid is closed 😎
They know exactly what they are doing… Some dopamine hits for the road !
plocate is backwards-compatible with mlocate, and is much faster and more efficient than mlocate. source
From your personal experience, what do you prefer and why, if you don’t mind :).
A blocky road ahead of you ! It will take some time, don’t try to speed up the process ! Remember the first time you started Windows on a computer ? It wasn’t easy at all ^^’ but now most people know how to start and use a Windows system.
Linux is great, linux is freedom and customization but linux is also a hell of another level of complexity.
It really takes 5min tops ! But only if you know what you are doing. Immich is not an easy compose stack for beginners. There’s also all the other stuff you have to take care off (backup? Behind proxy? Share with people outside your lan? …).
Having the compose stack up and running is just the first step ^^ but once you get the hang off, it’s fun and really cool stuff floating arround (navidrome, pihole, home assistant, newpipe, vaultwarden, jellyfin…)
It takes some time to get comfortable but don’t give up, it’s worth it !
Can’t exectly remember how or where but I had some chmod 777 -R going on on my setup on the wrong directory and everything seemed fucked up !
Was easier to fresh install instead of hunting some permission issue… Learned from that experience and still learning something new with perms on Linux !
but you’ll lose the ability to mount them on Windows if you do that.
One viable solution to that, is to mount that drive as SMB share, best of the two worlds !
Tech literates people tend to be more aware, but people who don’t even know what OS means/is…
I’m the only person in my family that has some IT knowledge and believe it or not, everyone in my family things that way… While swipping, scrolling, posting on GAFAMs and publicly exposing all their life ^^. In my friends circle it’s the same… Those who don’t know what an OS is respond the same way.
So it’s mostly the lack of knowledge of what privacy is, in the digital world… Because in real life most people put curtains behind their windows, so people won’t snoop on your hidden secrets.

My god how many times have I been through this… Living with debloated phone, hardened browser, VPN, Linux, sure isn’t easy every day :/// !
I totally agree, It shouldn’t be soo hard to value your own data/privacy and sometimes it feels like I’m fighting the wind.
After reading their github repo it seems compatible with OPDS, so It might work with Komga server :) ! Thanks for the link.
This is a perfect valid approach though ! My first few years in self-hosting I learned soooo many things: CLI, Shell, scripting, networking, containers…
Doing my own AV1 encodes I learned alot about audio/video processing, metadata, ffmpeg, av1an…
Maybe not as structured as OP asked for, but there’s way to much to learn in the OS world that a whole life is not sufficient to have it all ! However, following that said goal, you will learn alot arround other stuff and improve overall.
If your goal is to learn the Linux system and all the nitty gritty arround it, good luck :/ it takes more than 1 person to make an OS work, so understanding all the bells and whistle is just crazy IMO !
Does it work with a self-hosted komga server?
How so? I’m not doubting your info but how does a browser provides more security than a native app?
Seeing all those upvotes, this must be true somehow… However I was certain that native apps are more secure than webapps.
Do you have any reputable ressource to backup your claims?
Ugh… Movin Facial recognition, what a joke. I put them on the same level of stupidity as those who put Tesla’s AI chip in their brain.
Sad days for privacy and anonymity enthusiasts 😮💨😮💨
Yeah… After a user here on Lemmy pointed out that the AdGuard app on mobile made a lot of strange requests to ads services, I gave it a try myself with PCAPdroid and seeing all thoses requests made by only opening the app made me think twice about AdGuard…
Removed all their services from my network and a happy piHole + quad9 user since !
Yep, but only if you familiar, otherwise it can range from 1day to a week depending how complex our setup is (OCID,Fail2ban,reverse proxy, self-signed miniCA…).
But once your setup is all ready and you get all the bell and whistle it’s just a matter of 5mins (and very fun too if you have time to spend !)
It’s not 1 way sync. Please look up what you’re talking about before speaking.
Yeah it’s not, however you can configure syncthing as a 1way sync solution and I was emphasizing that this still isn’t a cloud solution.
Don’t get me wrong, syncthing is great and I use it everyday, but syncthing is not a cloud solution.
It’s very versatile and does a lot of things and I do like ffmpeg and use it a lot !
Too bad their AV1 and OPUS implementation is bad and even outdated for opus :( !
Yeah I feel you… Sorry about that :/ ! At work you probably don’t have a choice, however at home, you are free to choose whatever makes you comfortable.
