Alternative to syncthing for large music collection?
  • Yep, this is how I do it on my NAS, which is some RockPro64 board attached to WD Red spin drives. I have music, movies, game saves, documents, pics, etc. that equal around 1.5TB and I don't seem to get excess scanning when "watch files" is turned on.

  • Where to start?
  • I will second Bazzite, with the additional note that I've needed to use Feral Gamemode to get rid of microstuttering and other minor performance issues. But, that's not really different from any other distro I've tried gaming on (Void, OpenSUSE Tumbleweed, Funtoo).

  • Longtime Debian user, looking to branch out.
  • If you're willing to forgo the GUI installer requirement, take a look at Void Linux. Pretty slim base installation, very stable and conservative package updates for a rolling release. Excelllent package manager. Downside might be smaller package selection than Debian or Arch.

  • Anyone tried CoffeeSock? A V60 Style Reusable Cloth Coffee Filter
  • I'm currently using a pair of them for pour-over in a Hario V60. As others have mentioned, they do taste differently than paper filters. I rinse them thoroughly after each use, then hang just inside a sunny window to dry quickly. I also alternate each day between the two that I have, so that each one has an extra day to stay dry. Doing this while boiling them once a month or so keeps them well cleaned, no odors or odd tastes. However, you do end up using a decent amount of water over time to keep them clean; it's unclear if saving a year's worth (how long two CoffeeSocks last according to the manufacturer) of paper filters is worth the extra water consumption. I'm thinking of switching to paper myself, and keeping these as a backup.

  • Void Linux
  • Yep, been using it as my daily driver for a few years now, aside from trying out OpenSUSE Tumbleweed for a few months. I've settled on running it with sway as my wm for the time being. I've generally been pretty happy with it. I like the package manager and the relative simplicity of the system, which requires a bit more work to set up but seems easier to understand/fix when something goes wrong (usually user error in my experience, lol.) The developers also proved that they could learn from their mistakes with a minimum of drama after the whole kerfluffle with the original creator. Most packages that I need that aren't in the repo can be had with flatpak. Overall, a relatively pleasant Linux distro experience.

    Edit: Forgot to mention, in my experience an actually stable AND rolling release distribution!

    Btw, here is a small void linux community for lemmy. It doesn't appear to be very active, but hopefully that will change with time.
