+1. I switched from Pop OS to Debian + KDE last week, and KDE has been solid. I too read a handful of articles calling out the choice fatigue, and other than a few tweaks (maybe half an hour?) I was ready to go. I run old-ish hardware (circa 2013) without any issues.
Something notable is that the all the hotkeys felt 'just right'. I had to tinker a bunch in Pop OS to get satisfying hotkey combos, and the COSMIC upgrade reset them all.
I usually attribute it to people being lazy, not caring, or not using their brain.
It's quite frustrating when something is *so obviously* wrong, to the point that anyone with a modicum of experience should be able to realize that what was implemented is totally whack. Please, spend at least a few minutes reviewing your work so that I don't have to waste my time on nonsense.
My mom was paying a few hundred a year to Wix for a basic single page, static site. I finally decided that it was a waste of money and went down the Hugo-on-cloudflare route a few months ago. Can't beat it - all she's paying for now is the domain.
The only issue I had encountered was moving the domain from wix. If memory serves me right, I had to point the NS records to CF to do the transfer, and Wix doesn't allow control over them. I ended up transferring over to Porkbun instead, but using CF for DNS.
Hugo took some getting used to. Most of the templates I had seen were for blogs, but "hugo-scroll" works like a charm for the basic single page site.
Something atypical about my setup is that I wired up miniflux webhooks to n8n and gotify so that when I click "save" on an entry, I get a notification for it. It's a rudimentary way to setup a "read it later" list.
I self-host n8n along with about two dozen other services for personal use.
I make extensive use of the webhook triggers. Being able to spin up an endpoint with minimal effort is quite handy.
The data table feature looks useful. Similar to another poster, I've been using json blobs on disk instead, since I don't have concurrency, scaling, or performance concerns for my use cases.
I get some very weird vibes from the n8n subreddit. There's a bunch of 'get rich quick with AI workflows' posts which feel icky.
Same setup, minus the Pi. That includes originally starting out with jellyfin!
When on Jellyfin, I used to manually transcode the entire library to ogg and use syncthing to replicate it to my devices. Symfonium's ability to cache transcoded files is quite handy (although the initial backfill of ~20K songs took a few tries)
I have the same "confuse humans" problem. I use CloudFlare to forward ${company}@accounts.${me}.com to a personal GMail. I've had a limited number of cases where the sender will accept the address, but internally fail to send to it, Costco being one of them (the person in-store at Costco couldn't get over the address)
This is my issue with hardware keys too. It's been unclear to me how I have a backup and what's the best way to ensure that that backup is constantly in sync.
Plus, is a website going to support it? So many websites are shifting to OAuth, and making it the __only__ form of authentication. I really don't like this AND they usually only support a very limited set of authorities which is almost exclusively "Google and Apple", so I can't even run my own. The fuck is the "O" mean in "OAuth" then?! (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻ I'm trying to __reduce__ my (meta-)data exposure, not increase it!
Like good god, I don't know if it is a conspiracy or stupidity that's causing all this centralization and I'm not sure there's a meaningful difference. (unintentional or implicit conspiring rather than explicit)
This is Hacker News, surely there's people here that are fighting/pushing back. It's unclear to non-security experts like me how to actually do this besides not use a service (far easier said than done. These choices are often forced upon people)
