Right on!

Yet again, FOSS showing why it’s always the way to go vs proprietary tech. So glad I started my self-hosting journey with Jellyfin!

Cyb3rMaddy does more cyber security content, but she has a fair bit of Linux content too, same with LaurieWired.

VeronicaExplains is my favorite for pure Linux content.

Good, fuck “AI” fuck copyright, fuck patents, fuck proprietary closed-source software, fuck capitalism, fuck billionaires, and fuck you, Sam, in particular.

Lol wut?

Yup sorry, typo, I corrected it in my original comment. Weird it isn’t working for you, I think I have the F-droid version.

InnerTune uses YouTube music, so far it’s been really good. No sign in, no ads, decent quality, and grabs alternative versions like covers and acoustic versions too.

It allows you to download the songs, build a library, create playlists, and you can free listen to related music.

Edit: Corrected typo, it’s InnerTune.

Sea of thieves has been working on Linux for years, and really well. I regularly play it on both my Linux gaming rig and on my Steam Deck, it runs awesome on both.

Oh wow sounds great, can I get in line now to not use it?

Linux Mint OS, QBitTorrent for the client, Proton VPN for the VPN with qBitTorrent bound to only that interface and port to ensure no IP leaks.

Works Awesome.

As somebody who works in IT at a Windows-only environment, I know exactly what you mean.

I have to fight with Windows on a weekly basis. Driver issues, firmware issues, software crashes/lockups, performance issues, etc etc.

Just this week, I have two users experiencing issues with their monitors. Identical enterprise grade laptops, identical drivers, identical docking stations, all totally up to date on Windows 11. Their old Windows 10 computers worked fine. Still trying to figure out what’s wrong.

I really hope Brother is telling the truth!

That’s just the block of addresses that they have been allocated by ICANN.

Sounds right to me. Here’s a link to some useful Tailscale documentation that helped me when setting up my own home lab: Tailscale Lockdown UFW

Do you need to access the rest of your network? If you’re just using that machine as the file server and gaming server, just run Tailscale on it, that way only that machine is accessible.

That being said, as long as your server is locked down to only allow connections from outside via your Tailscale network, then you shoukd be pretty safe. Your point of failure becomes the security of that netbook, if it becomes compromised, the attacker has access to anything on your Tailnet too.

Make sure you implement 2FA for your tailnet, and practice good security for your netbook if you go that route.

I play Lichess on my GrapheneOS Pixel6a, works well. Same with Signal, Firefox with several mobile browser extensions.

Bitwarden, NewPipe, Tailscale, Duolingo, Uber, Discord, Matrix Element, all the Proton mobile apps, Backblaze, etc etc.

Pretty much every app I try works flawlessly. On rare occasion I’ll experience minor bugs, and twice I’ve had to use GOS’s extra privilege mode to get an app to work.

Overall, Love GrapheneOS and I’ll use them as long as they are around and making an awesome alternative to Google’s garbage.

I’ve used two, NameCheap, and PorkBun.

Hated Namecheap, would never use them again. Janky pricing, tons of email spam, terrible UI.

Porkbun has been pretty great. Simple, solid prices, easy to use, no issues for about a year and a half.

And still being forced to watch ads on most of the plans.

I wouldn’t even give that scumbag a quarter.
