Or, as honourably mentioned, OpenSuSE, specifically tumbleweed.

Looks like a Clevo Chassis. They’re actually not that uncommon, a lot of smaller ‘laptop manufacturers’ offer them with slight customisation.

I have little love for Canonical, but I wouldn’t go that far. What makes an OS ‘the Windows’ of something is in my eyes the heaps of useless surveillance, which ubuntu lacks.

I’ve been using opensuse tumbleweed for quite some time on my systems, and been pretty happy with it, in case you need an endorsement.

Also, all of them (I’ve seen) have a new account, and all their text output seems LLM generated, with them claiming it’s cause english isn’t their native language and they need LLMs to translate - on that note, that’s suspect to me, cause translating a human written text, at least with dedicated translation services, tends to retain a human structure. This feels more like they’re generating the whole message.

Doesn’t apply here, but some also had a story about “working in X trade for Y years”. It all feels very disingenuous, very much like marketing. I’d be surprised if even half of these projects are still around in two years time.

Rant over, just something that grinds my gears.

I have two live hdds resting on high density foam on top of my server. Will be three soon. I really should get a bigger case…

That might be the case. And you might in fact be perfectly well intentioned (though, as you might have found this community isn’t, on average, very into closed source software).

On the project site, this post, your replies, I have read nothing that sounded like genuinely you. It all reads like marketing. Or, more precisely, as if you have a LLM write/rewrite your responses. This, to me, makes them feel incredibly disingenuous. You might just sound like that naturally. In that case, I’m sorry.

If you want to win over this community, a good avenue would probably be open sourcing your application and arranging for some form of donation.

Edit: Also, you didn’t state that it’s closed source in your first sentence?? Well, you did in the first sentence of the reply to the comment that called out there not being source code on the repo, but the cat was out of the bag at that time.

An unkind observer might suspect the goal to be having the aesthetic of an open source or at least source available project without actually being one.

Websites I use regularly:

• sites I write or maintain myself
• federated social media
• my bank (they have my ID already)
• code forges maintained by others
• a Swiss e-commerce platform, alibaba, local electronics retailers
• YouTube

I suppose such measures might affect retail sites and YouTube, but I can get the stuff I need locally, and being off YouTube, I’ll certainly have the time for it.

Huh, Authentik was what I used before Kanidm. Wasn’t anything wrong with it per se, but there where a lot of moving parts and complexity rhat didn’t really serve a purpose for me.

I thought about kubernetes or proxmox, but I don’t really see any reason to. All my containers are controlled via podman quadlets, and either run on a single machine locally, or on a VPS.

On how you want to slice up the hardware - I feel like there isn’t one right answer, and I’d do whatever feels most comfortable to admin for you. I feel like for homelab workloads, any half-reasonable setup should work fine, just make sure you have good backups.

On SSO - I have never tried Authelia, but am personally very enamoured with Kanidm. It’s very lightweight, and has pretty good default settings.

On reverse proxy - I personally use Caddy, but Traefik is good too, and can do more stuff out of the box. I just mount the certs I need readonly in the container of the service that needs them. Clunky, but works well enough for me.

If the people you want to have access have static, exclusive ip addresses. Which is pretty unusual, these days.

I mean, you can have a look at recent merged PRs. With proprietary engines, you just don’t know.

That article also kinda reads like it was generated by an LLM.

Which I would appreciate … if I had the least idea about Christian sects in the US.

Meh, I actively use it. I get why it might be unintuitive to someone newly switching.

… I actually like being able to copy a website and middle clicking to open it. I don’t think it’s a problem, it just needs to be telegraphed to the user better, and togleable.

… sure. Nothing here is wrong, but there’s ways to try and mitigate that. And then it’s kinda an arms race, and vigilance.

Good as a general recommendation.

I also feel like the risk levels are very different. If it’s something that performs a function but doesn’t save/serve any custom data (e.g. bentopdf), that’s a lot easier to decide to do than something complicate like Jellyfin.

I do have public addresses for Matrix, overleaf, AppFlowy, immich because they would be much less useful otherwise. Haven’t had any problems yet, but wouldn’t necessarily recommend it to others.

I’d never host any stuff with “Linux ISOs” on a public adress, that seems like it’d be looking for trouble.

You just have to Flash coreboot, I have three chromebooks deployed with family, one with mint and two with Endeavour. Even Touch and audio drivers work for those specific models (Acer Santa and Asus Babytiger).

I seem to remember that steam depends on the official nvidia drivers, so that might still be fumbly if you use their platform.
