Current VMs:
Windows 11 LTSC (RTX 4090 passthrough): For Assetto Corsa in VR.
Windows 11 LTSC: Barebones VM for my partner to RDP into from an old MBP, saving her the cost of a new laptop.
Debian (RTX 4060ti passthrough): My daily driver.
Windows 11 LTSC: Work VM (imo work is not the place to be tinkering, the office is on Windows so I'd better just join in).
Windows 11 LTSC: For League of Legends, though I'm struggling with Vanguard... perhaps a blessing in disguise.
Arch (RTX 4060ti passthrough): For those rare moments when I crave the bleeding edge (less frequent as I get older).
RPi
YunoHost:
GlitchSoc (modded Mastodon)
GitLab: For my Git repositories.
LinkStack: Repository of all my public-facing projects.
BookStack: For publishing study guides and my PhD work.
Docker:
Jellyfin Stack: Including all the 'arr' services (too many to list/remember).
Network Infrastructure:
Network: Isolated VLANs, some tunneling through public VPNs (think ExpressVPN) and others through a private VPS. Not going to go into too much detail here (security through obscurity and all that)
All this is running on a 25/10 Internet connection on DynamicIP, reverse proxies, DDNS and a QoS router was a lifesaver.
@pipes Yeah it's biggest pro is also its con and where the reputation of Debian's stability comes from.
I was using Plasma 6 Wayland 3 months ago in Arch and half my desktop apps were busted. Discord was so bad that I had to use X11.
I was newer to Linux desktop then so I spent so long thinking the problem was with me and trying to figure it out. Wayland Nvdia stability has seemed to settle down a lot though.
I'll miss Wayland 6 as it's really nice on high refresh displays but I think it's a reasonable trade off for stability, and it'll eventually be back.
Yeah I originally trying to daily Linux for like the past 10 years but kept falling back to Windows, mainly due to the app compatibility.
A lot of people suggested dual booting but I found that it messed up disrupted my workflow, and Level 2 hypervisors were too slow to be practical
What finally made Linux stick for me was Proxmox.. it let daily Linux and still have the option to quickly spin up a Windows VM with a GPU if I needed something urgently, without the hassle of rebooting.
So now, six months later, I’m dailying Arch and also self-hosting a bunch of stuff on Debian, and I haven’t looked back.
@catculation This has happened before and is a really big issue, but wouldn't some sort of network segmentation have helped prevent this especially as it's happened before?
I gave away my wife's Wyze camera and moved to Ubiquiti. It cost me a small fortune.
Not self-hosting at the moment but still, nothing can be as bad as Wyze, right?
@Usernameblankface Some sort of attack that manages to take down Cloudflare, AWS, Azure, and Google Services at the same time. Would break a lot more than just the internet though.
Yes, I have noticed a trend of homelab hobbyists going back to something like this:
Soulseek - Nicotine+ for plentiful, lossless content
Jellyfin for self-hosting
Infuse for streaming the content remotely to save storage on your phone.
I don't endorse piracy for ethical reasons, but I get why this is trending up:
Increasingly aggressive pricing models
Service quality and content accessibility going down
