Email is like, the worst possible option. Check out Apprise. Super easy to setup Telegram or Discord notifications via webhooks. Takes like a minute.

Yes, but you won’t have access to most of its features other than just typing. Since you’re using Graphene and Google Play/Google Play Services are sandboxed cutting network permissions from Gboard should be enough to completely disable its phone to home.

Seems to be, yes.

lol ok.

we stole this AI model because it’s cheap and works great and we totally “took out all the bad stuff.” Come buy API tokens. lelz.

Now to guess which ones will still be maintained in 5 years 😆

If you figure it out, lemme know. lol

That’s… Interesting. I’ve been using Ventoy professionally for like… 2-3 years now and I’ve not once had an issue with daily use. Unironically like 2500-3000 uses without issue.

Generally Ventoy is better than both. Choose a dedicated flash storage, flash Ventoy to it, then click and drag as many ISO’s as can fit on your drive and you can boot from any one of them at any time.

Much better than Etcher or Rufus, IMO.

Here ya go: https://selfh.st/apps/

Will cover about 90% of your bases there. You can even look up proprietary software and it will show you self-hostable alternatives.

My goto would be wireguard, is that still a good option?

Yes.

Private cloud/File server

Is a local video streaming app actually useful for a rare watcher of movies etc, or can they be streamed directly from the file server?

You can do it any number of ways. I have it setup a pretty cool way, I think. I leave my PC on all the time. I also have a home NAS with all my media files on it. I host Jellyfin server on my PC and in the Jellyfin settings link to the network location of the files (\\nas\media\tv, etc). Works great, especially for transcoding because I run the server on my Windows PC, it gets access to my GPU for transcoding. Really great setup I like to think. Only drawback being you have to leave your PC on all the time, which doesn’t bother me.

Is Docker the way to go for everything? or just install on the machine directly?

There are alternatives to docker, like LXC but they’re not as widely used as Docker. So unfortunately…

Another option for you could be Hyper-V if you don’t mind using your PC to run containers. I like it better than running docker containers.

12ft.io usually works for me.

You’re not having issues because it’s very likely it’s limited by your ISP regardless. There’s simply no way a consumer ISP (or VPN) is allowing 1200 simultaneous UDP connections. So you could likely set it to a million and have no issues. Because you’re being limited to ~250-500 at the protocol level by your ISP/VPN. lol

Situations like this, torrent priority is even more important because there’s a high likelihood you’re not able to connect to peers you otherwise would be able to if you were using priorities…

You can stream your primary sound driver via icecast and then on another machine use ffmpeg to record it? ffmpeg -i http://server:port -c copy output.mp3.

I dunno. This all seems super roundabout.

I’m a little confused… Why would you need to audio record a song from a digital device? Just transfer the file over…

PITA = pain in the ass.

I never said it was hard. Just a real pain in the ass. Like iptables vs UFW. They’re the same thing, but one is easy and a pain in the ass and the other is just easy… So I opt to make my life easier. lol

It’s not important data. Why would I spend another $200+ for another 20TB drive to have redundancy for 1 and 0 I don’t care about…

Like, vegan “nothing with a face!” ethically? No. Absolutely not.

Vegetarian “I eat eggs and dairy?” Sure.

You can’t bypass age verification on YouTube.

yt-dlp still works for age verification content, but you have to pass cookies to it.
