I would say sway for Wayland support. Better yet, Hyprland is an awesome one and well supported in Nix. Maybe disable animation to reduce memory usage

I’m using Firefox 138.0.3 (Build #2016090503). Duckduckgo.com works fine on my end, maybe something blocking it from your end. Check another browser on your device and another device withing your network.

With a SOC like that, that no way will only serve as a NAS, i can see my self easily hosting a dozen container on it and a couple VMs. That said, 12Gb is quite sufficient for my need.

Thank you

Maybe you might find home in one of those NAS ootimized distros like Openmediavault, truenas, unraid. If not CasaOS or old good Debian with portainer.

I second this, it’s what I have on my Lenovo M710Q, crazy stable and lightweight.

When did you last repaste your GPU? it is a good practice to clean and repaste your CPU/GPU regularly (once a year or so).

You definitely want an 8th gen (Intel) or better to have Jellyfin Quick Sync support. It’s what I have (i5-8400T) and it offer a fairly decent AVC (h264) and HEVC (h265) transcoding for my usage. However, for futur proofing consider an 11th gen for the AV1 support.

Finally, something that does nor relate to US election. But, WTF did I just read?!!

For Jellyfin, dont get any lower than 8th gen if you want to transcod using quick sync. And if i correctly remember, you will nee 10th gen or higher for 10bit transcoding.

Can i use it to store my note in plain markdown format instead of in some kind of database?

I use tailscale and it is great, i dont mind activating a vpn whenever i want to acces my services, but that is an extra weird step for my sister to access my jellyfin library. Do you use a reverse proxy? If so how many ports do you have exposed (say for 10 hosted services)?

Would you please share what dynamic dns provider you use? I remember trying to set nginx pm to use my no-ip hostname (xyz.ddns.net) but I could not figure out how to link my hosted-services as subdomains (say portainer.xyz.ddns.net)

That was a good read, thanks

That was a good read, thank you

American (congress) will ban Tiktok # Americans will be banned from Tiktok

The title made it sound the other way around as if Tiktok is banning americans.

That is where you put your optional packages, everyone has his own use for it. I use it to stocke my docker containers config

Sounds like “The witcher 3” world will be a good fit for your daughter curiosity, the guest line however is too dark for her age.

Ddns is your answer, check your router and see what it can support or just go with whatever you feel good for you and install their updater on your server.

Mtp is your friend, here is hiw I do it on my devices (samsung a23 and both opensuse and arch):

• I connect my phone to my pc. Then select mtp in the phone notification.

• Start my file manager (dolphine or whatever) and access my phone storage from there.

• Make sure to allow the notification on the phone asking if you want to sahre your storage with the external device.
