One of the many reasons I always run privacy.sexy every time I need to install windows (on both bare metal and inside a VM).

quick, somebody go call the datahoarder community

I hate that there is such a discrepancy between the amount of Linux server implementation and desktop usage. I'm hopeful for the future though, I've been noticing Linux has been getting more attention.

one of the many reasons I don't want to buy an EV (or any vehicle that touts an overly "smart" feature set)

For work I heavily rely on the Adobe creative suite (Photoshop and Premiere Pro specifically). I maintain Linux servers (and develop for them) and maintain Linux desktops at both home and for work, but the lack of any alternatives to Photoshop specifically has resulted in me still daily driving Windows (VMs really hamper workflow with regards to GPU passthrough and although I've successfully set up Looking Glass on my workstation in the past, running 2 gpus isn't practical). Yes I've tried the alternatives and while Premiere Pro has usable alternatives, Photoshop does not. GIMP is incredible given that it is FOSS but the UI and feature set is almost unusable (for me at least).

THIS.

omg If I have to configure another Matrix mirror bot for something I wanna self host, I swear...

same goes for those that create self hostable, privacy oriented services and bake in dropbox and/or google drive support... like WUT.

ah crap. I don't use all the "Uconnect" garbage on my 9 year old Jeep, but it does appear though the dealer can collect (read: steal) info if I bring it in (I do maintenance myself but I have brought it in for recall fixes before). As far as "smart" stuff goes, I do connect my phone via bluetooth but I run GrapheneOS on my mobile so hopefully this mitigates some stuff. I've always thought it was just cars with data connections and cameras/self-driving modules that were the problem (at least in my understanding of networking vis-a-vis my background in network development, but then again cars run different firmware)

yeah, I tend to only look at repos with decent activity. If I stumble across a project that seems a bit sparse but I still need/would like to use the code, I try to scan through it myself to spot anything fishy. So far so good, but always good to be careful and triple check

thanks, I'll check out photoGIMP. been trying desperately to make GIMP work as I wanna ditch Windows before they stop supporting 10, sooner if I can. I made the switch on everything else already.

I mean, yeah but not everything is available over apt. I try to use it whenever I can though

something like 95% stays local and is remote accessed via wireguard, The rest is stuff I need to host via a hostname with a trusted cert because apps I use require that or if I need to share links to files for work, school etc. For the external stuff I use Cloudflare tunnels just because I use DDNS and want to avoid/can't use port forwarding. works well for me.

as far as subtitles go, I've had good luck with Bazarr:

https://github.com/morpheus65535/bazarr

I tried that; it re-paired but then disappeared after about a day or so. Figure there is something going on with my NAT/Avahi setup, but this shouldn't be an issue considering it worked before I added TLS. Maybe there is a setting in HA that I need to adjust.

I'm not as familiar with the networking configuration options in HA. I'm assuming I have everything set up correctly since everything else works as intended. I'm running it as a VM in Proxmox and my background is in network development so naturally everything else on my network is installed in regular linux vms/containers behind nginx. Is there a specific config file for https or is it just the usual HA config file?

that's a good point, didn't think of that. I never saw any kind of setting on Venstar's end to adjust any related settings (not surprised tbh). Maybe I can find something in HA to allow http calls for that device alone? I'm gonna look into that

few days late here, but that pastebin had some really good feeds 🙏 I noticed the OPML file was labeled FreshRSS and I also use FreshRSS. So I fixed up the feeds and configured FreshRSS to scrape the full articles (when possible) and bypass ads, tracking and paywalls.

I figured I'd pay it forward by sharing my revised OPML file.

I also included some of my other feeds that are related (if you or anyone else is interested).

Some of the feeds are created from scratch since a few if these sites don't offer RSS, so if the sites change their layout the configs may need to be adjusted a bit, but in my experience this rarely happens.

I had to replace some of the urls with publicly hosted versions of the front-ends I host locally and scrape, but feel free to change it up however you like.

Dell offers their Precision lineup of laptops with an option to ship with Linux (ubuntu) instead of Windows. As far as mainstream, enterprise support and driver updates go, you can't get any bigger than Dell. Lots of good deals to be had on eBay for these machines too, they're built like tanks and driver issues are never a thing.

I’ve been using Noctua industrial iPPC fans for the past decade almost, just recently made the switch to San Ace, so noise really isn’t something I’m concerned about (these all typically run around 50dB(A)s)

I also like going industrial because I can often find the detailed data sheets per each part number, allowing me to add appropriate curves when necessary

been running it in docker for over a year now with the docker hub image. I'm assuming you got to the app site page based off of what you described. I'd imagine it may be something related to the video quality/encoding option? Does the metadata come through when you search for a video? Also, I find Invidious tends to be (rightly so) particular with the TLS stapling option, so if you don't have tls or a proxy in front of it, then make sure it's set to off (happened to me with self signed certs and nothing would play)
