I sugest you to install/enable sysstat if you have not done that already, and with those metrics you will have some great starting point about what resources may be the culprit next time it happens. It will help you pinpoint if there is a hardware related issue.

Do you have kdump enabled? If so, you can try to force a coredump when the system freezes, so you can uater analyze what the issue is. It is harder to follow this path, as you may need analyzing such dump, but it will help you identify issues not only on the hardware side, but on the software side as well.

Both tools are our bread and butter for RCAs/postmortems

Disable any file indexing service and/or repositories update that may be running on the background

.nfo files are text files, so it fits your requirement. Media players, like Jellifin, reads those focusing on certain tags, ignoring the unrelated ones so you just can make up your own, even write plugins (for jellifin lets say) that could render said tags in your player

I would use nfo format for this

Afaik, ISPs retain access to their provided equipment in order to troubleshoot. With this in mind, looks like they made some changes on your router/ont remotely fixing the original issue, but somehow they either not saved such changes, or your router/ont reverted to defaults after the power cycle.

If you have access to the equipment, take a look at every configuration on the device and take notes, then get the isp reconfigure and then compare.

If this is the case, your device may be faulty. Verify by powercycling it again, and atk for a replacement (if applies)

I have it setup on each of my laptops, so I have it available at all time with no need to expose it on my home setup.

Automatically start the container on my laptop, and add it to my browser’s search engines as default. Pretty simple.

Opensuse MicroOS is not only minimal, but also inmutable. Or their variations Aeon (Gnome) or Kalpa (Plasma) if you are looking for a desktop env.

On top of that, if you enable Cockpit it would enable your VM and containers management.

You could dig into the Linux hardware and see if your system is listed there, and how compatilble it is

I do tech support on a global company, and some customers have started to demand their cases not to be readable for our usa based colleagues, nor the shared info hosted on usa clouds. So that wall is somewhat already there.

Have you tried to do some cleaning on your /boot filesystem? It could be you have some old stuff there that may well be wasting storage

Yes.

Not only due to privacy concerns (my main concern), as the device will constantly ping home even when turned off. Other concern is it will download “updates”, that eventually may render your tv browsing experience laggish.

Some tv sets have not only mics incorporated, but cameras, so it may depend on your level of concern.

For that broad approach, only catppuccin pops my mind. It has some dark palettes

What are the specs, hardware wise, of both your laptop and your nas?

I wanted to get rid of my chromecast, so I initially planned on reusing an old minipc I had, tried installing SteamOS on it but failed miserably.

Then I went with Opensuse Aeon, instaled Kodi but I really don’t like the interface, so I am using the Jellyfin client, the SteamApp, and Firefox with my usual adblock setup. All via flatpaks.

This setup autoupdates, so it is cool to have it up 24/7 and just turn on the tv. I can control it via my dualshock, but it is more usable with a 2.4Ghz remote control w/keyboard I got for less than 20€

Sound goes via hdmi to the tv, and from there to my soundbar via ARC, so no sound directly to the pc.

Next, I may setup the Jellyfin server on this machine, so I can leverage its hardware for transcoding (better specs that the nat)

You cannot select the audio track when watching from mobile browsers, so you are stuck with what you were served.

No, I won’t open the native app.
