I’ve been living in Poland for the last 13 years and can only say good about the country. The language barrier still exists after all that time but luckily most younger Polish speak English. It’s definitely a nice place to life.

I cannot comment about living in Italy as I have only visited it for vacation a few times. It’s a beautiful country and people where nice everywhere but if it comes to work, I’m sure Poland has more to offer. It’s the outsourcing country of Europe. Good wages and highly qualified people.

Second that. I don’t have another node that I can use for WoL at my backup location so I opted for the node to turn on every morning, run the backup and turn off using cron at a given time. Works perfectly!

That’s just the best game ever!

Stop using Chrome!

My feeling is that there is. I think it all started with the speed I can login over ssh. Debian always seems to have a short delay but FreeBSD feels instant. When it comes to rating FreeBSD as a better OS for servers I may be biased as Debian has served me so well over the years. I was never a Docker fan but instantly liked Jails for isolating services. Then we have native ZFS support which simplifies my backup needs. A simple zfs send | zfs receive and you have an exact copy of your service instance on a remote node. Everything feels integrated and not stacked. Again, just a personal opinion.

Yes yes yes. It’s great to see other FreeBSD fans here with the same opinion.

I was using Debian as a server OS for more than twenty years with short escapades to other distros but then I discovered FreeBSD and there was no way back. ;)

I’m a long time user of Debian myself too. No cutting edge fuzz, just a working, stable OS all of the time. What else do you need for a server? It always did the job.

But then I stumbled on FreeBSD, and man, that’s a server OS. Simple design and blazing fast. No Docker but I never liked it anyway. My Docker is called Jails and in my opinion is they’re superior. Service isolation on the next level.

On my laptop? Debian due to hardware and software support. And I’ll stick to that for now. I feel home on that distro.

I can’t say anything about OpenBSD as I never tried it but it sure is a perfect fit for a server as well depending on your needs and preferences. BSD just rocks!

Second that. Been with them for a year now. Good price and performance.

Same here. I’m using mainly FreeBSD on my servers so docker is a no go due to lack of support. I have to stick with Photoprism for now as it offers a install without docker and it does the job for me. Anyhow, I’m not happy with the trend that most FOSS projects today limit the deployment on docker and do not offer a way of a plain install on you *nix system of choice.

Nice one. Downloaded and will try it soon. Using Ultrasonic at the moment so eager to see differences between the apps. Happy new year by the way. ;)

I enjoy being here. I already forgot Reddit and only stumble on it occasionally when it appears in a search result on DDG. Keep strong Lemmy!

If I would have been asked to choose one really useful piece of software on Windows it would be Agent Ransack. I use it to find strings in a bunch of files, even compressed ones. I believe it can do much more but I use it for this purpose on daily basis. There’s a paid version but the light one is free and does all I need. https://www.mythicsoft.com/agentransack/

I’m happy to get conviced otherwise but in my 26 years living in Spain, Valencia and Andalucia, that was what I have experienced.

In Spain they will immediatelly ask you if you are sick. Only sick people drink tea there, or english tourists, but they will usually go to english bars anyway. In those places they will serve black tea and ask you if you want it with lemon or milk.

Do you have a list of products / companies they own? I would happily make use of that list.

My native language is German but I lived in Spain for a long time and there they call them “nubes”, clouds.

A service to remove paywalls.As far as I remember,it doesn’t work with the NYT but does a good job with a bunch of other sites.

I have settled with Navidrome. It is not a native app but is quite fast and responsive and I can combine it with Ultrasonic to stream my music from anywhere to my phone. And you browse your collection by album covers which you mentioned as your preference.
