As a beginner? Sure, but having played the HL2 VR mod you get used to it, and it has left me wishing Alyx was a bit more challenging.

I’m fine with that, especially if the Deckard is reasonably priced and has first-class Linux support.

Thinking about setting up a NixOS or Guix firewall/router. I like OpenWRT but upgrades are a bit annoying, although should improve with the new packaging system.

The idea of having a single config file I can deploy on new hardware almost immediately is very appealing, however.

It can and will be multiple renewable sources of generation and storage, with nuclear only having a limited role (especially if SMRs don’t become a thing).

It’s enough if you just need access in a VM or over a lan (depending on your threat model) but agreed.

but there’s no NFS on Windows anyway

There is, although only the client and only v3 support.

Iirc it’s also a prerequisite for full-disk encryption on modern android.

How modern? It’s still working on Evolution X with Android 14 (although maybe it needs custom rom support).

It would be a bit less secure since the bootloader itself could be compromised, however (but I wouldn’t be concerned about random thieves/snooping in this case).

Tailscale/Wireguard are installed on the KVM itself, not the server you are trying to access. It’s just a Linux machine after all.

I don’t know if the JetKVM supports it, but PiKVM and BliKVM support adding a multi-port KVM switch to it (see: https://docs.pikvm.org/multiport/).

It’s a bit finicky depending on the device you use (some will require custom cables).

Prices vary but there’s also BliKVM where the V3 version is essentially a clone of the PiKVM (and goes for around 90 USD) and they have their own Allwinner chipset version that I have seen even cheaper than that (although not currently). So not too out of the ordinary.

Worth noting here that KVMs are potentially a quite Hugh security risk.

You can put them behind a VPN and they should be relatively secure. I definitely wouldn’t expose it on the web directly, however.

App looks very nice and good to see active subsonic clients. I’ll stick to DSub until random album support (#289) and download starred albums/artists (#197) is implemented, but I’ll be keeping a close eye on this one.

From what I recall it’s better but not much better. They also shilled for their snake oil MQA format but thankfully they are moving away from that.

Try bandcamp too. Almost all goes to the artist and you get FLACs.

I also like to grab a bunch of content all at once and then watch at my leisure.

If you’re tech-inclined you might like pinchflat or Tube Archivist, which can archive channels/playlists in the background with video metadata automatically, which you can then use with JellyFin.

Need to be comfortable with /c/selfhosted@lemmy.world type setups, however.

If you want to use DNS challenge with Caddy it’s kind of annoying though (need to download/compile a separate version with the DNS plugin you need).

Which is probably a good idea if you don’t plan to expose the services publicly but want a real certificate to avoid self-signed cert warnings.

Not something so complex that it requires docker. Not something that requires you to install a separate database. Not something that depends on redis and other external services.

This comment is a bit silly. Databases just make sense for many services, although many could just use sqlite which would be fine (and many do). Redis etc is usually optional and might increase performance in some cases.

I wouldn’t be a fan of something requiring docker, but it’s often just the easiest way to deploy these types of services (and the easiest way to install it as a user).

Anyway, I’ll echo that clear, up-to-date documentation is nice. I shouldn’t have to search through actual code or the bug/issues section to find current information (but I get this is very challenging). And I’d rather projects didn’t make Discord a source of documentation (especially not the primary one).

I’ll add that having a NixOS module is a big plus for me, but I don’t expect the developers themselves to maintain this.

Beyond the other comments is your public IP on ipinfo.io etc something like 100.64.X.X or 10.X.X.X?

If so, you’re behind a CG-NAT and raw wireguard will not work. I say this so you don’t waste time configuring something that will never work. Ignore the below if you have a real public IP.

Some ISPs will allow you to get a real dynamic ipv4 address for free, or you can configure ipv6 but any clients that you connect will also need public ipv6 support.

Otherwise, consider tailscale/headscale/netbird (SaaS or on a VPS) which have NAT traversal support.

That’s a slightly different question (opinion on the ACA vs whether the government should ensure that everyone has healthcare).

Although the latter is also true, according to the OP article:

The poll found that a majority of Republicans still believe ensuring health coverage is not the government’s job, but the majority has shrunk since 2020.

That year, only 22% of Republican voters believed the government should ensure everyone in the country has healthcare, but that number has now grown to 32%.

He said I didn’t understand insurance.

Reminds me of fiscal conservatives that would always lecture people on economics, while not having even the slightest understanding of how it works.
