  • Not sure if this is what happend, but there is a sync option in samba where you can sync your samba user password with login user password.

    However this needs explicitly be stated in the samba.conf and needs some further configuration. It could be possible that the installation fuckedup something with passwd.

    Just guessing here, I played a bit arround with samba and password syncing.


  • XFCE4 ! Stable, simple and EndeavourOS’ design is top notch !

    However there are some glitches from time to time. Nothing to serious but when I use Lutris + Wine my desktop bar does some wired shit.

    Also when coming back from sleep I have to “pkill xfce4-session”. Though I’m not totally sure it’s an xfce issue…this could also be Nvidia or X11 related… Didn’t dived to deep.






  • I’ve subscribed to YT Premium today.

    If you’re on Android there’s InnerTune. It’s basically YouTube music but for free ! Just to bad you can’t directly access downloaded files to export them elsewhere. (Yeah that’s practically piracy and illegal)

    I like navidrome + Tempo as self-hosted solution. Works well without any issues. However, I read about horror stories people losing all their media or fucking up their media library ?

    Also, that’s a huge song library (20.000?)… Not sure this can be easily handled over to a self-hosted solution? But first you need to organize your songs







  • Hey :) Thanks for the pointer. This was to beautiful to be true ! I searched around the web and found out what is actually happening in the background (learned something new and important so thank you!). And effectively It was writing to the cache and I wasn’t aware that was a thing on Linux.

    The command I used to track it down: sync & watch -n 1 grep -e Dirty: /proc/meminfo. Took me some time to come across the right command and realize what’s happening.

    Will update my post right way (BTW is still hate MacOS !)
