  • I upvoted, but not always. With the CLI you know exactly if you installing from core/extra (which you don’t usually need to check PKGBUILD) and executing as privileged, compared to AUR which you either install manually or use an AUR package manager like YAY which strongly discourages running as priviliged, and offers checking PKGBUILD on both install and update.

    For example, Pamac doesn’t show this - or at least didn’t back when I used it on Manjaro.





  • Super easy with Docker, and also quite portable. Usually is a copy paste and minor changes that irk me, but now I don’t have to explain my family what are torrents, how are torrents, what is a tracker, give them my credentials, and teach them to SSH to the server in order to copy a file let alone show them how to properly name it in order for Jellyfin to correctly recognize it.

    All I have to do is log them in the app once, and tell them "If you want a movie, find it here, and it will probably be available in Jellyfin in and hour or two.








  • Docker runs abbhorently, instability and having to restart every week or so (tried Raspbian, Arch, Alpine, and all went unstable in a couple of days, even tried changing the SD and power supply).

    Back on the day, sure, ARM was the thing you wanted if you went for maximum power saving, but I think there are comparable options that give more bank for your buck in the x86 space, especially if you want to repurpose it later.

    In the end, go for whatever you want, you can always sell it later if you don’t like it. I’d just personally wouldn’t go for ARM anymore.

    If I was buying a Pi, I’d go second hand.
