  • Writing systemd services for your containers is something yoully have to get used to with podman, pretty much. It’s actually very easy with the built in command “podman generate systemd”, so you can just do something like " podman generate systemd --name my-container > /etc/systemd/system". I much prefer managing my containers with systemd over the docker daemon. It’s nice!

    Also, podman can use privileged ports as root, right?




  • openSUSE Tumbleweed or MicroOS. I’ve since long given up on so called “stable release” distros, because a boon to me is to feel like I’m not using software from the stone age, which is what I feel every time I have to use a RHEL, SLE or Ubuntu system.

    I’ve used Tumbleweed on laptop and desktop for about 6 years. Never has anything crashed, or at least nothing has ever become unbootable. The most damage ever done by an update was a regression in mesa that made 3d accelerated content absurdly slow, but even that was fixed within a few days.

    I use MicroOS on almost all my servers and it’s rock solid.

    zypper is slower than pacman, apt and dnf, but it’s extremely usable and easy to work with, even in enterprise scenarios. I’d say it’s basically on par with dnf, usability wise.

    openSUSE in general feels extremely stable, and I just love that they went btrfs by default a few years back and just seem to have this future proofing aspect.



  • I used to manage the file hierarchy myself, but I haven’t done that for years at this point. Same goes for tagging files and such. I just download everything to a root folder called “music” and let lidarr handle everything from there.

    Lidarrs default file structure is something like {Artist}/{Album}{Year}/{Track} . This can of course be changed. Then I let lidarr just tag everything for me automatically, embedding album art and such.

    It’s a great setup overall, but I don’t know where Lidarr indexes it’s music library from, because some artists and albums might be missing sometimes. That’s really the only pain point.



  • I get why they’re doing it, so it’s not a big deal for me as long as I can still use single click to open folders.

    That being said, double click always seemed like a weird “hack” to use what is essentially the main function of the left click, no? As in, the primary thing I want to do when left clicking something is to go to that thing. Go to that folder, go to that link and go to (open) that application. “Selecting” is not the main action I use so I’ve always felt weird when “selecting” gets what is essentially the main function of the mouse, the left click.
