Yep, but only if you familiar, otherwise it can range from 1day to a week depending how complex our setup is (OCID,Fail2ban,reverse proxy, self-signed miniCA…).

But once your setup is all ready and you get all the bell and whistle it’s just a matter of 5mins (and very fun too if you have time to spend !)

It’s very versatile and does a lot of things and I do like ffmpeg and use it a lot !

Too bad their AV1 and OPUS implementation is bad and even outdated for opus :( !

They got hit by a lot of negative reviews and bad publicity those last years. Myself gave it a try last years and while it isn’t a bad distro from first impression… The fact that they add bookmarks into my firefox and Manjaro bootscreen at start gave me a strange feeling… Specially because this happend after the bios bootscreen hack. And I know this is not related but it still gave me strange gut feeling and always follow your guts !

Happy EndeavourOS user !

Somthing you need to be very careful is your clipboard when you copy/past from the internet to your terminal. It can contain hidden malicious code… Nasty shit !

https://security.stackexchange.com/questions/113627/what-is-the-risk-of-copy-and-pasting-linux-commands-from-a-website-how-can-some

Always past into a text based application before pasting to your terminal.

And most importantly, you can play arround with pretty kittens 😁

Notable mention, amd64 chipsets are more widely supported than ARM.

It’s everyday the year of Linux !

Not sure if every audio file is upscaled, however I had a few files who clearly were 128kbs mp3 upscaled to ~192kbs opus !

personally I cannot hear any compression in the audio.

100% agree on that xD !! However, I’m some kind of strange audio freak hoarder. If the spectogram of an audio doesn’t reflect my standards (not upsacles audio files…) I won’t keep/archive it !

Do note that I didn’t used a paid YouTube account… Maybe they don’t serve HQ audio files to free users? Dunno, but after some digging into the spectograms I was not happy seeing how bad they looked !

Cool stuff, thank you for sharing your project with the community ! It’s very cool and useful for people who just want a set and forget situation !

I stoped using yt-dlp frontends the moment I saw youtube actually serving upscaled opus media files (very visible line on a spectrogram). Also their metadata is totally fucked-up and not very well organized and full of shit (comments with huge spaces and non useful metadata…).

Sure, the metadata part is easily fixable with Picard MusicBrainz, but the quality downgrade was a huge no for me. Nowadays, I use nicotine, rutracker and private trackers to download FLAC quality files and transcode them to opus 192k to serve them in my Navidrome library with a well curated metadata structure !

Yes it takes way more time and some dedication but it’s worth it :) specially If you are some kind of perfectionist and like everything neatly organized ! 😁

More power to you for keeping the opensource community thriving !! Thank you !

So he was manually compiling all the software he used, even those related to his system like openssh?

Just to add a note for OP: If your not into tinkering and taking care a of your OS don’t even think to try any Arch based distro. There’s a minimum time you have to spend to keep your system healthy.

Just recentlty I had a boot issue after an update (black screen on boot without login or tty) and after a lot of debugging and websearch couldn’t fix my issue. At first I though of a fuckedup bootloader or to long wait time between updates but It was a recent issue with MESA and nvidia driver.

Had I looked up the EndeavourOS forum rather then my own search results that would have avoided a fuckedup fresh install wich didn’t solved the issue either.

So yeah, there was a solution out there (downgrade MESA, install new nvidia driver rather than nouveau) but I wasn’t looking in the right place 🫤 So here I’m with a fresh install…

So this thing is very popular among devs I guess… Nearly 100k stars is huge haha !!

Also when you accidentally create a directory called ‘~’ the command rm -r ~ is not the right one…

Ughh ! That one is nasty !

You can compress to lossy and still don’t make the difference between each while saving a ton of storage. Opus 192k is really good and mostly transparent.

I do agree that storage is cheap however if you have to make backups, it really gets satured very fast !

I really wan’t to give Asahi a try, however I read alot about power mangement taking a big hit ! This makes me reluctant to give it a try on my M1.Maybe for the next big wipe on my laptop?

Either way, congratulation and thank you for all you work on allowing to get rid of Apple’s closed ecosystem !

It does “support” LVM, but with a wacky/hacky workaround and that’s a real shame !

Also, there is some talking on github on how they will probably completely drop LVM in the near futur… That’s not what someone should expect from a Linux installer!

Also old users don’t remember long commands if we use a command more than once. You save it to your bash alias file to create your own commands.

A good example for this is docker compose -f when you work alot if compose files ! Having an alias for docker compose -f as dcf saves hours a month xD

Kitty is also a good example ! Very customizable but maybe less user friendly to begin with.

Hehe, I’m doing this all the time now ! 3 years ago when I started my linux/self-hosted server journey with debian: CLI only !

Was difficult at times and had a few breakdowns (most got fixed the next day… Sleep/taking some time off really helps !!!)

One thing I’m still bad at… Is taking notes. Haven’t found a good way take IT notes. And I tried sooo many different approaches…

Huuh ! That’s somehow similar to how calamares treats LVMs. And also a hack/wacky workaround similar how to fix LVM installation

• mount every partition similar as chrooting
• cd to each directory in a separated shell for each directory (keeps the mount points busy)
• swapon the swap partition

Only then you are able to install your OS with calamares on a LVM filesystem hierarchy…Except this is a 5 years long issue/bug and they are discussing to drop LVM support :/.

Sorry for hijacking your comment with something unrelated to the actual post, I’m just amazed on how Linux fixes/workarounds can be odd at times.
