  • There are issue trackers on Cosmic’s github repos, and they welcome any bug reports.

    1. The “Application” menu isn’t a list, but all apps are available to scroll through in the library home.

    2. Suspend works, maybe search for an existing bug report (likely for cosmic-comp).

    3. Might be a bug in cosmic panel. The .desktop file has the correct icon in it, as well in the launcher.

    4. If you use a app image manager (or install a theme with more app icons), they should work flawlessly. Cosmic follows the freedesktop standard for .deskop file, so if you put them at ~/.local/share/applications, they show up like any other installed app. I guess an appimage manager is in scope for cosmic.

    5. A bug worth reporting to the comsic-comp issue tracker.

    6. PWA’s do have an icon in the app launcher.

    7. How does it break? For me, date and time each take up two lines, but they are shown correctly imo. Or you want both to be shown in one line each, which could work for larger sizes of the panel?

    I remember taking my first selfhosting/Linux steps a year or so after the launch of Let’s Encrypt with a Pi 3. At the time, most tutorials didn’t set up https at all, and if they did, they were self signed certificates (resulting in browser warnings).

    Self-signed certificates are annoying and creating them was a series of copy pasting long, weird commands, usually using long exspiration dates (manual renewing sucks).

    Not long after, guides started recommending certbot. Nowadays reverse proxys like caddy set up TLS automatically.

    At least that’s how I remember it, given my complete lack of knowledge about Linux at the time.




  • Leider bin ich selbst vor inzwischen einigen Jahren auf solche (Fake-)"Wissens-"Kanäle hereingefallen.

    Ein Beispiel sind “künstliche Kiemen”, die vor ca. 10 Jahren die Runde machten. Damit soll ohne Sauerstoffflasche unter Wasser geatmet werden können, da ein handlicher Filter den Sauerstoff aus dem Wasser herausfiltern soll.

    Leider müssten dafür unrealistische Mengen an Wasser pro Minute durch den Filter strömen, um nur ansatzweise funktionieren zu können.

    Zweifel hatte ich damals schon, nur erschien mir der Kanal sonst als größtenteils glaubwürdig. Heute halte ich mich für deutlich kritischer, nicht zuletzt wegen solchen Lügen, die ich nur zu gern glauben wollte — Leider klappt das auch nicht immer.

    Edit: Das verstecken von Dislikes macht das Einschätzen von Kanälen noch schwieriger. Damals ließ sich zumindest ansatzweise die Qualität von Videos einschätzen, wenn ein Video überproportional viele Dislikes hatte.

    Symphonium is a great Android music player which connects to a Subsonic or Jellyfin server (or any other protocol like SMB).

    Navidrome is a music server which implements the Subsonic protocol. This means apps like Symphonium can connect to it.


    Any old PC is enough, even a Raspberry Pi is fast enough for a music server.

    1. Install Navidrome on the server/pc
    2. Configure Navidrome (open ports, add your music library/folder)
    3. Connect a subsonic-compatible music app to to the server (I.e. type in IP or domain as well as the port).

    Anything more like SSL (https) and a domain is optional for getting it working, and only a benefit if used outside of your home network. Using Tailscale makes a domain/SSL unnecessary and also no longer needs messing around with networking (e.g. no opening ports on the router).




  • Yes. 1TB SSDs can be bought new for 50€, 500GB for even less. For some people this is expensive depending in the region (e.g. I also know someone who uses an HDD). But given the price of other pc parts it isn’t something to cheap out on (a 1TB/2TB HDD is also 50€).
