From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

What's on your personal server? (lemmy.sdf.org)

Either self-hosted or cloud, I assume many of you keep a server around for personal things. And I'm curious about the cool stuff you've got running on your personal servers.

What services do you host? Any unique stuff? Do you interact with it through ssh, termux, web server?

-Jellyfin: for playing media that I totally own and surely did no obtain by any obscure way.

-Qbittorrent: for reasons completely unrelated to the previous one.

-Amule: see above.

-Synapse (matrix server): overly complex way to send myself notifications from the server to my phone.

-FreshRSS: to have a self hosted RSS feed server. Could I use an android app for the same thing? Sure. But it's more fun and headache inducing this way.

-TubeArchivist: Because I want to offload some of that cost inducing bandwidth that is making those poor YouTube executives to keep pushing more aggressive ads on their platform. I'm just that nice.

-Caddy: because I'm just lazy.

-Crowdsec: Because I'm just paranoid.
