I dunno... It's wearing a little more makeup I suppose. It has more dumb user things working out of the box, last I checked. Differentiating them has worked well enough for me that I haven't done a deep comparison in many years.

I feel seen. Descriptions were apt.

One category missed though, is oldsters like me who started on slack or yggdrassyl, lived on Debian for a decade, and moved to Mint because, eh, feck it, I don't want to think about configs anymore.

That said, I use mint for my daily, and Debian for anything that does headless work.

I like the sound of that!

However it looks like has a lot of potential for a 'xz' style exploit injection, so I'll probably skip it.

From the project's README.md : The current maintainer continues to apply pull requests and makes regular releases, but unfortunately has no capacity to do any development beyond addressing high-impact issues. When reporting bugs, please understand that unless you are including a pull request or are reporting a critical issue, you will probably not get a response.

I can't decide if I'm happy or disappointed that no one suggested I make a Beyowolf cluster.

Thanks for that caveat. I could definitely see myself falling into that

See, this is interesting. I'm out here looking for the new shiny easy button, but what I'm hearing is "the old config-file based thing works really well. ain't broken, etc."

I may give that a swing and see.

this looks promising. Seems a little heavy-weight at first glance... How was it to get up and running?

LAN only. I may set up a VPN connection one day but it's not currently a priority. (edited post to reflect)

 

I recently replaced an ancient laptop with a slightly less ancient one.

  • host for backups for three other machines
  • serve files I don't necessarily need on the new machine
  • relatively lightweight - "server" is ~15 years old
  • relatively simple - I'd rather not manage a dozen docker containers.
  • internal-facing
  • does NOT need to handle Android and friends. I can use sync-thing for that if I need to.

Left to my own devices I'd probably rsync for 90% of that, but I'd like to try something a little more pointy-clicky or at least transparent in my dotage.

Edit: Not SAMBA (I freaking hate trying to make that work)

Edit2: for the young'uns: NFS (linux "network filesystem")

Edit 3: LAN only. I may set up a VPN connection one day but it’s not currently a priority. (edited post to reflect questions)

Last Edit: thanks, friends, for this discussion! I think based on this I'll at least start with NFS + my existing backups system (Mint's thing, which is I think just a gui in front of rcync). May play w/ modern SAMBA if I have extra time.

Ill continue to read the replies though - some interesting ideas.

Funny about that.

Anyhow, apropos of nothing...

An entrepôt (English: /ˈɒntrəpoʊ/ ON-trə-poh; French: [ɑ̃tʁəpo] ⓘ) or transshipment port is a port, city, or trading post where merchandise may be imported, stored, or traded, usually to be exported again. Such cities often sprang up and such ports and trading posts often developed into commercial cities due to the growth and expansion of long-distance trade.

They did more than that, their bathroom got blown up by a religious nut over their inclusive bathroom policy, and they re-opened without changing their policy.

They advocated internally for LGBTQ people especially trans people.

That's why this absolute cave, spinning about-face so fast they could start a fire without matches... this is so fucking dumb.

And the people who see it are justifiably disgusted.
