for two reasons, I can’t use this.
OwnTracks setup was a bit confusing to me and I never got it working. traccar looks pretty nice though, I’ll check it out!
Mint is lovely! I started out with it years ago and still use it today.
On Librewolf the default is all cookies get cleared. When you go to a site you want to save cookies for, you can easily add it to the whitelist by clicking the lock icon in the URL bar and toggling on the “Keep cookies” option.
T-Mobile offers the basic edition (with ads) for free on my plan at least. knowing Netflix though, that probably won’t last much longer. oh well, I’ll still have the high seas.
usually in your router settings you can change local DNS settings. you can set your domains and subdomains to point to your server’s local IP.
then remove that “colossal attack surface” by compiling a custom kernel and utilities that only includes the features the product needs. create a system tuned to the exact product to make it extremely reliable. almost everything electronic you see in commercial use is Linux because of this very fact.
Many medical devices run Linux.
Toyota, Tesla, Audi, Mercedes, and Hyundai vehicles use Linux.
you certainly can rely on it for your life and nearly every electronic device you use will use some derivative of it.
this. after i set different zsh themes on my servers + my main machine i now know exactly what machine i’m running commands to
I’d say that bloat is whatever you define it to be and can vary depending on the power of your system.
I care less about how much resources apps are taking up on my desktop (32GB RAM, Ryzen 7700X), but I do bring my concerns over to my laptop (8GB RAM, Ryzen 4500U).
the one thing I cannot stand are electron apps and anything similar. they are a whole browser bundled with an unoptimized interface, and will eat up what used to be a decent amount of RAM for a laptop back then, as well as my battery life. for this reason I always try to find native apps that use less power and less RAM, which in turn improve my battery life.
this is just one example of where you can draw the line for bloat, although you are completely correct in saying that it is subjective.
in my personal experience of using it, it doesn’t feel very polished in most places + strange bugs like being unable to install certain packages. doesn’t have the comforts of a distro like Pop OS or Mint (i.e. automatic timeshift setup on first time boot, checking for missing dependencies for other packages). that’s just my personal opinion on it.
although definitely not as configurable, I like the “set it and forget it” idea of DockoVPN
NY?
kitty terminal + zsh shell, two fast and customizable tools
not sure. I just use it to chat with friends, family and such, not so much for new connections
Signal and Lemmy, gotta be my two favorite genders
Nearly all of them. Nextcloud, Jellyfin, Vaultwarden, Spacebar, and 2fAuth, all set behind an NGINX Reverse Proxy, SWAG. SWAG made it very easy to set up https and now I can throw anything behind a subfolder or subdomain.
Playnite. Combines all games from all connected launchers into one and configurable/themeable to your hearts desire
ah I see. at first I interpreted it as you couldn’t reclaim the space from windows
I tried both MQTT and just the plain HTTP variant, and I couldn’t get either to work. I’ve fully settled on the latter you mentioned, Traccar. it’s pretty much what I’ve wanted: self-hosted, easy to set up, beautiful web interface. Thanks for the suggestions!
