My Arch Linux Homeserver and VPS which ran since years are like: “huh?”

Not a single Ubuntu upgrade failure on my book anymore 🤞

.zip is already a thing

I’m using Caddy (sometimes in a container or most of the time as system package) as reverse proxy mostly for containers
I try to minimize non-container services but they work well with Caddy too

Traefik is a tad more complex (still nowhere near Apache2 levels though) but scales more easily espcially if you only run containers and start/stop them programatically

if you are open to learn something new: Caddy webserver has a dead simple config, fetches tls certs by default for you and works with crowdsec too

even consumer SSDs have around 1500 TBW (Terrabytes written) per TB until warrenty excludes any failure
which means you could write for example every day for 10 years 400 GB on a 1 TB SSD
this is already a very low estimate, most SSDs do better

anyway OP mentioned enterprise SSDs which can write 1.0x or 2.0x it’s own size every day for 10 years

for someones who values security above everything else thats totally fine
but for someone who wants to reduce e-waste by prolonging the life of a phone with at least some updates this might be not the best solution

CalyxOS supports Pixel devices far longer than GrapheneOS does (they drop them once Google drops support too)

the amount of plugins are also amazing
convert non-lossy files automatically to aacmp3|ogg? fetch lyrics? push updates to mpd/sonos/jellyfin?

If Jellyfin would do such stupid thing, somebody would fork it to a new project
in fact this did already happened in the past: Jellyfin was forked of Emby after they changed their license

Unity includes telemetry for some time
I believe you can’t actually disable the telemetry (or Unity intro logo) in the “free” version

if your goal is to automate your home (or lab, or work place) I also would highly recommend Home Assistant but I hesitated to recommend it anyone since OP didn’t really explained what they actually want to with it

i.e. if your goal is automate rss feeds and notifications than Home Assistant ist just completely overkill for this task

Node-Red is probably your best bet
it’s functional with a lot of plugins available as well as relatively easy due to the “flow” workflow

one other command mentioned Home Assistant but even among the Home Assistant community there are quite some people using Node-Red together with Home Assistant to achieve their goals

Don’t think they do

It’s 2023, we are almost already at Passkeys and you skipped TOTP (basically that “Google Authenticator” does) as 2FA?
anyway there are a lot of open source TOTP apps available to choose from like Aegis or if you want to sync it something like Bitwarden (Premium or Vaultwarden)
desktop apps also exist but that would defeat the point probably

stay away from proprietary apps and do backups of these TOTP secrets or you’ll absolute will lock you out if you loose your phone somehow

oh there is a way without the user accessing it espcially on Windows: Anti virus scanner
since most of them scan all downloaded files a zero day exploit for these software might be automatically executed
bonus points: Anti virus software typically has system permissions too

(likelyhood is still hilariously low)

I’ve been running qbittorrent in tandem with wireguard vpn in docker container for quite some time in germany

the harder challenge is actually finding german torrents at all

unfortunately germany is heavily “dub centric” and a lot of people here never engaged in english more than needed in school

convincing family/friends to watch a movie/series with subtitles is sometimes challenging

Voyager recently got added to F-Droid but can also be used as PWA from a web browser but personally I’m currently waiting until Infinity for Lemmy actually will get it’s first stable release

most normal 4chan user

The torrent clients I used (flood and qbittorrent) can use the hash directly to import, is this not the case for all?
