Why do you use the distro you use? - Lemmy.World
Title is quite self-explanatory, reason I wonder is because every now and then I
think to myself “maybe distro X is good, maybe I should try it at some point”,
but then I think a bit more and realise it kind of doesn’t make a difference -
the only thing I feel kinda matters is rolling vs non-rolling release patterns.
My guiding principles when choosing distro are that I run arch on my desktop
because it’s what I’m used to (and AUR is nice to have), and Debian on servers
because some people said it’s good and I the non-rolling release gives me peace
of mind that I don’t have to update very often. But I could switch both of these
out and I really don’t think it would make a difference at all.
Connecting HA Yellow to existing Wireguard network?

Connecting HA Yellow to existing Wireguard network? - Lemmy.World
My homelab is connected through an already existing wireguard network, with one
server acting as a central hub for a bunch of other nodes. So all nodes can
communicate to eachother by just knowing this central hub. I would like my home
assistant to join this network, which on most distros just means installing
wireguard and wireguard-tools, plopping my config into /etc/wireguard, and
running systemctl enable --now wg-quick@homenet. But I can’t figure out if the
OS on the HA Yellow have a package manager, and it doesn’t seem to use SystemD.
So what would be the best way to install it and connect on boot? There is a
Wireguard addon that I’m sure works wonders, but it seems to me that it’s meant
to act as this central hub that I already have. If I’m wrong and this addon can
be used to connect to an existing network I will happily use that, but last time
I tried it I couldn’t get it to work the way I wanted.

Apparently the EU has an egg market situation dashboard - Lemmy.World
The design leaves something everything to be desired (in part because it’s a PDF
I guess), but it’s to the point and says last update was 2025-03-19 so
apparently it’s kept up to date. One thing I thought kinda interesting is that
it seems the gap in price between cage/barn and free range eggs is closing. Not
sure why this would be, perhaps due to stricter requirements on space per
chicken in cage/barn removes the advantage compared to free range? Also
interesting that the price of organic eggs seems like it’s increasing at a much
slower pace than other categories.

CalDav integration with caching? - Lemmy.World
I have three different calendars syncing using caldav, one on fastmail and two
on icloud. When I open the calendar view it’s often the case that one or more of
these timeout (all of them are afflicted by this), so it seems that these
calendars are not actually stored on the server but polled everytime I want to
view them. Are there any alternative integrations that will periodically sync
the calendars and keep them on the server? Or can I self-host an app that does
this and will never time out because it’s on my local network?
Best solution for a distributed filesystem?

Best solution for a distributed filesystem? - Lemmy.World
Not sure if this is better fit for datahoarder or some selfhost community, but
putting my money on this one. ### The problem I currently have a cute little
server with two drives connected to it running a few different services (mostly
media serving and torrents). The key facts here is that 1) it’s cute and little,
2) it’s handling pretty bulky data. Cute and little doesn’t go very well with
big raid setups and such, and apart from upgrading one of the drives I’m
probably at my limit in terms of how much storage I can physically fit in the
machine. Also if I want to reinstall it or something that’s very difficult to do
without downtime since I’d have to move the drive and services of to a different
machine (not a huge problem since I’m the only one using it, but I don’t like
it). ### Solution A distributed FS would definitely solve the issue of
physically fitting more drives into the chassi, since I could basically just
connect drives to a raspberry pi and have this raspi join the distributed fs.
Great. I think it could also solve the issue of potential downtime if I
reinstall or do maintenance, since I can have multiple services read of the same
distributed FS and reroute my reverse proxy to use the new services while the
old ones are taken offline. There will potentially be a disruption, but no
downtime. ### Candidates I know there are many different solutions for
distributed filesystems, such as ceph, moosefs, glusterfs and miniio. I’m kinda
leaning towards ceph because of it’s integration in proxmox, but it also seems
like the most complicated solution in the bunch. Is it worth it? What are your
experiences with these, and given the above description of my use-case which do
you think would be the best fit? Since I already have a lot of data it’s a bonus
if it’s easy to migrate from my current filesystem somehow.
