Just, no.

I’ve always been interested in Linux, and for my home server it’s been my OS for the last decade, but for the workstation I found myself dual-booting. With the advent of atomic distributions such as Fedora Kinoite, Universal Blue, Fedora CoreOS etc using the concept of OS images through OSTree / bootc, combined with containerization through flatpak and podman is a great step forward stability and reproducibility.

My desktop has been switched to Aurora (Universal Blue) for more than a year and I couldn’t be happier.

CEO isn’t an actual job either, it’s just the 21st century’s titre de noblesse.

Eufy cameras linked to their HomeBase for storage, or you can send the cameras recording to your own NAS through RTSP.

Basically a nothingburger…

Still, most people will look at the TV during the meeting, so all you see is one side of their faces.

We tried the owls in some of our meeting rooms and we scrapped those.

What’s the point of having a 360 camera in the center of the room when everyone will stare at the big TV anyway? All the people at the other end see is everyone looking sideway to the camera.

Your best bet for quality dubbed content is to find the raw blu-ray torrent (check for the included audio tracks), and retranscode to x264, x265 or AV1 with Handbrake and the audio tracks you want to keep. No need to tinker with a/v sync from there.

You either have

• Easy to use
• Will eventually lose support
• May remain unpatched

or

• Require more maintenance
• You can run the OS of your choice
• It’s your responsibility to ensure it remains patched

I decided I wanted something long-term, and bought a NAS appliance I can boot my own OS onto it, so I went with the Ugreen DXP2800.

I’m running Ubuntu LTS, with Cockpit as the webUI to manage parts of it, and my web services are all running through podman containers (aka quadlets).

There’s a bit of a learning curve, which is the price I was willing to accept.

More like cheques and account balances.

Every instance have their own ToS, each of them with their own threshold of tolerance with having to deal with potential piracy inquiry on their server.

You may want to have a dead man’s switch so that the server shuts down without your intervention, or there’s the possibility that a forensic team could retrieve the encryption key in RAM through some physical attacks.

I host a couple of encrypted snapshots in the cloud (stuff that I can’t afford to lose), but it’s still vastly cheaper to host a massive amount of data locally.

The stuff I have locally is mostly stuff I can recover elsewhere (yarr), so redundancy without backup is good enough cost-wise.

At the moment, that will likely be Newsom unless something major happens.

It’s seeding time

Good thing the fediverse is decentralized :)

Up yours, fascists!

Look at me owning an Xbox even less.

Me too, but they’re all on my Plex server for all my homies to see.

Cloud computing I agree, at least until we figure out homomorphic encryption.

For cloud storage it’s not as bad, as long as you control the keys and the provider doesn’t see them then you can be fairly confident the data is safe.
