A router is not a network switch is not a wireless access point. Using the machine as a router works with one ethernet port.

I would still not recommend this approach, as your network will be unusable when this machine goes down.

Just git restore that shit

But it means that such machines should not be live on twitter. Unless whoever runs twitter and this bot wants fash content on there.

it sounds like they rm -rf-ed their project. How would Ctrl+Z help here?

If you find an encrypted drive, it’s extremely unlikely you can recover anything from it. If there is no LUKS header, it’s pretty much impossible.

+1 for Jellyfin!

I’d say NixOS is great for servers, mostly. Only having to worry about certain things (secure boot with custom keys, FDE, partition layout, network, sshd, firejail, etc.) once, and then replicating the same setup on another machine is waaay more convenient than going “I wonder what I was thinking when setting up this machine” once in a while when looking at some machine again you haven’t touched in some time. When it comes to desktop usage, the whole thing does not feel as magical - configuring system options in e.g. KDE is still a lot of clicking around in a GUI. I still use it for my desktop machine, just so I don’t have to think about another distro.

You just made my day, kind internet person! That’s exactly the holy grail setup I’ve been looking for for the last couple of months. Will try it out as soon as I can!

These containers are running on various servers I have at home, not on a desktop machine. I use podman as an alternative to docker, because it’s fully libre and does not require running containers as root. To be honest, I’ve never thought about running flatpak containers for these kinds of services – do you have a setup like this that you want to share?

Don’t get me wrong, I don’t support this. But I can see how the suits at Synology could come to the conclusion that this is a great idea

People who buy overpriced “solutions” instead of taking the time to configure a PC seem like exactly the crowd to enjoy a closed ecosystem (see apple)

You can use FDE and setup a minimal ssh server like dropbear to run at startup. This way, you can supply the password via a keyboard connected to the machine OR via ssh. This gives you a similar workflow to the data partition you mentioned, but encrypts the entire system.

I hate the cloudflare stuff making me do captchas or outright denying me with a burning passion. My fault for committing the heinous crime of using a VPN!

I disagree. Having 5TB worth of movies on a hard drive / NAS is way more convenient than having 5TB of movies spread across 100 blurays.

There are small SATA backplanes that allow you to fit 3 HDDs into two 5.25" slots (or 4 HDDs in 3 slots). You can find used ones for cheap (mine was 30€), and with some cheap tower case you could get something NAS-like with hot-swap drive bays for way cheaper

Not FOSS as far as I can tell. Maybe it’s no concern to folks running MS stuff already, but IMO closed-source is a red flag for trustworthiness.

Julia?
