I quite like this idea, thanks! If I did this I could adblock all the rest of my network, which might help with blocking ads on things like smart TV’s. I could also DMZ that wireless network. I would consider their devices untrusted (not malicious, just not careful), and they wouldn’t notice the difference.

Also this. On some unremarkable HP office PC that’s probably about a decade old. No ad filtering or anything as it interferes with others in the house. I’ve thought about trying a second unbound service with adblocking for me, but haven’t gotten around to it.

I ditched Fedora because I didn’t like the way the wind was blowing. I mention because despite having a bias against Redhat, I agree with most of the sentiment in the comments. I don’t think the future of Fedora is in any kind of jeopardy and if you’re happy with the distro, you should keep using it.

Death Stranding

I’ve hated tofu every one of the few times I’ve tried to prepare it. Undoubtedly because I’m doing something wrong. And it’s just OK when I have it at a restaurant. But this looks and sounds pretty good and straightforward. I’ll give it a shot!

The 3b just has USB 2, so even with slow spinning rust, that’s going to be a bottleneck. But it’s probably still plenty fast as a remote storage device for media storage.

Edit: said I didn’t know OP’s use case but in re-reading they did say. Edited accordingly.

I saw you did the art for the openbsd 7.7 release. Very cool!

Fair point. I dislike competitive multiplayer games. Also why I don’t encounter anything with anti-cheat, as that’s the primary (maybe only?) type of game it’s used for.

But absolutely an important consideration for those that do like competitive multiplayer.

My personal experience gaming solely on Linux for about two years is a 100% success rate running Windows games. Mind you I don’t play anything that has anti-cheat. And maybe 85%-90% without needing to fiddle with anything.

Risk is also a factor re: self hosting.

• You’re exposing potential attack vectors, which is particularly concerning if self hosting = home hosting.
• Also with home hosting, it’s probably against your ISP’s TOS. It is for mine (I actually read it!). Will they do anything? Probably not. But it’s a risk.
• You could face legal issues if someone posts illegal content, since you’re hosting it. Even unwittingly.

Those concerns are what stop me. Because I otherwise think I’d enjoy hosting a little corner in the fediverse.

I’ll try this! I used to use caldav via my mail provider with DAVx5, but I had problems with it not retaining notification settings with recurring events.

I don’t know if that’s a problem with their caldav server, DAVx5, or my phone’s calendar. But worth trying with radicale and see if it works.

My kneejerk response to this was negative. “Oh, another distro spinoff”. But I read the article and the front page of their site. It feels to me it’s trying to be to Fedora what Mint is to Ubuntu. And I hear good things about Mint.

While I take issue with both base distros (Ubuntu, Fedora). I’m also of the opinion that Fedora is better, relatively speaking. So, maybe this has more of a place than I initially thought.

A search of the comments didn’t turn up any mention of seedboxes. So I’ll throw that hat in the ring as an option.

On a Pi4.

I was running it on a VM on the home server but then any downtimes that machine had were also HA downtimes. Decided that mattered enough to run it on it’s own hardware.

Maybe self host your own VPN on a VPS and connect the jellyfin server as a client as well as any other devices you want to see that jellyfin server as other clients and configure the VPN server to not override your default routing and to allow clients to see each other? In my head I don’t think that would conflict with your protonVPN connection.

Your traffic would be encrypted between devices so I wouldn’t say https is nessesary and thus no certs needed.

The rubs that occur to me are that I’m not sure you can do this on a free tier VPS which is the only option I see given your financial limitations. And your devices all need to be able to connect to said VPN.

Edit: Slightly less worse English.

My tenuous understanding from an article I read about the AT protocol but barely remember is that it can’t be fully decentralized. I think you have to use bluesky for user authentication. And I think it said the hosting hardware requirements would be significant to the point where it’s not very feisable. I welcome corrections/clarifications.

Point is, assuming that’s reasonably correct, true decentralization isn’t possible. And by it’s nature as a big corporate owned site, enshittification is inevitable.

Nope. I fiddle until it does what I want. If the thing I’m working on is complex or I’m struggling with it I’ll keep versions of configs. And I back up working configs via an rsync job. Which isn’t a particularly robust solution but I’m content with it for my needs.

My knowledge both of Fedora and Nvidia are both a bit dated. So if anyone “um actually”''s me, probably defer to them. But last I knew you want to get nvidia drivers from the rpmfusion repo. Relevant link: https://rpmfusion.org/Howto/NVIDIA.

As others have mentioned there’s no need to remove flatpak.

Otherwise, sounds like you’re on the right track to me.

Edit: I just read a comment about breakage with Fedora flatpaks. So perhaps prudent to remove if so.

Opens for me.

That would suck if so since I obviously utilize it heavily but this doesn’t seem to be the case? Latest release was just a month ago and their github repo is active.
