  • Google has sent internet into ‘spiral of decline’, claims DeepMind co-founder

  • I use Kagi and it's great. But I'd also throw in a big honourable mention for Qwant. Imo it's better than DDG. Throw in some NextDNS ad blocking and you'll practically never see ads in your search again.

  • Obligatory mention of Kagi (which is actually brilliant).

  • YouTube cracking on ad blockers.

  • That is true. I only use mine locally, so it's not a problem. Although you can remote access via Tailscale for safety. It's quicker and easier than trying to set up remote proxies etc, about which I know nothing. Tailscale took 5 mins.

  • Immich is on a par with Google Photos, imo. It's self hosted though, so not for everyone.

  • How often do you hop distros?

  • HM seems worth the effort only if you do a lot of customizing and tweaks to your home setup. Would that be an accurate assessment?

  • YouTube isn't happy you're using ad blockers — and it's doing something about it

  • Welcome to the club. Nixos is fabulous. There's a steep learning curve though, and I still don't really get flakes and home manager.

  • 13 years on Ubuntu deserves some kind of prize! It was my gateway into Linux back in 2006 but they started to lose their way with the Gorilla release. I like the look of EOS tho.

  • Installing Arch is a PITA tho, tbf. Just give me Calamares ...

  • Arch is great. I used it for a few years back in the day, but it kept breaking stuff. I hear it's more stable now but I don't have time to be fixing things all the time.

  • Whats your favorite free open source software that everyone should try?

    Jump

  • Freetube = seriously good.

  • Noob NGINX / self-host question

  • Replying to my own comment to say thanks again for all the tips and advice. I got it all sorted with Tailscale. The final piece of the puzzle!

  • Ah, I very much did not know that! Ok, I'm off to investigate Tailscale a bit more.

  • Thanks a lot. Tailscale is out, unfortunately. Because the server also runs Plex and I need to use it with Chromecast on remote access (it's an old CC, so can't add tailscale to it). Looking into Cloudflare and port forwarding. I've just signed up to NextDNS though, so don't want to add another layer of DNS stuff to my mix.

  • Thanks, I'm going to try this.

  • Thanks, I'm going to try the port forwarding part. That seems like the simplest step. NPM looks very useful though.

  • This looks really useful. Thanks!

  • Thanks. I'm still a bit confused about the domain stuff, but I'm looking into it.

  • Thanks. Annoyingly, perhaps, I've just signed up for a year of NextDNS.
