- Comment on Plan for my first homeserver 1 week ago:
Ultimately up to you, but I’d go with no GUI and just use ssh (and sftp if you need to do file transfers).
When I was using Docker, it was headless because the GUI just ate up space and resources I didn’t need. All your interaction will be in the shell anyway, launching your compose.yml files.
But, if dealing with a headless machine sounds like more trouble than you want to try, install the DE if your choice and breathe easy because it’ll still work perfectly fine.
- Comment on Plan for my first homeserver 1 week ago:
I think you’ve put more thought into how to get started than many others would! You have a pretty good plan from what it seems. My thoughts from each section below.
Hardware: I’m partial to Crucial and Kingston for storage that is affordable and dependable
OS: I’d probably spin up a Debian install if I were in your shoes and run my services using docker-compose files. It’s a quick and easy to get up and running, and despite the ease, there is still the option to do a lot of customization when you want to, and that will make it easy to learn more at your own pace and leisure.
Services: For the CalDav portion, I’m really liking Radicale.
Security: PiVPN is what I’m running on my actual RPi along with PiHole, and it was a super simple setup. I connect via Wireguard from any of my other devices.

I was told there were terrorist bunkers under that hospital. Why would IDF hide like this?

I’m not defending TACOman here, but bombing the middle east is like a normal afternoon for basically any US president since at least Bush the First

- Comment on VPN server on router or within home network? 2 weeks ago:
I just don’t want my NAS doing anything other than being a NAS, so I intentionally don’t run extra services there, but its a matter of finding what works for you. As long as you get to the destination you’re looking for, its mission accomplished
- Comment on VPN server on router or within home network? 2 weeks ago:
Got an old raspberry pi laying around? PiHole+PiVPN is something I run on an old 3B+ I think, so I have something dedicated running both. But otherwise, I’d probably just spin up a container on a server or cluster and I’d probably go with debian and just run the exact same PiVPN setup script I did for the pi because it was super easy.

Yes. And beard hair, too.

This is precisely what makes me worry it will be locked behind some fucked up subscription mldel.

Does that mean one can also opt out? I might have to look into this now. Or move and remember to watch for the signs next time.

Upvoted purely for the use of the Oxford comma.
- Comment on Fake reviews on Play Store by Plex staff 1 month ago:
Yeah, I’m not about to defend Samsung or their app distribution by any means, I just know they had the Plex app when I needed it.
Thanks for the heads up on Roku though, I appreciate it!
- Comment on Fake reviews on Play Store by Plex staff 1 month ago:
Is that on an Onn TV? I might have to go check it out again. Thanks!
- Comment on Fake reviews on Play Store by Plex staff 1 month ago:
Samsung TVs have a Plex app, but not a Jellyfin one. Lots of people have Samsung TVs. I mean lots. Other modern TVs are likely the same, like Onn (at least the Roku TVs) last time I checked, and again they are all over. The ease-of-use factor really is a huge win for Plex.

TIL… Thank you, kind stranger, for making me curious enough to look further
Researchers have determined that a fugu’s tetrodotoxin comes from eating other animals infested with tetrodotoxin-laden bacteria, to which the fish develops insensitivity over time.[10] Whether tetrodotoxin is sequestered from or produced by symbiotic bacteria is still debated.[11] As such, efforts have been made in research and aquaculture to allow farmers to produce safe fugu. Farmers now produce poison-free fugu by keeping the fish away from the bacteria – see § Aquaculture below.[10]
- Comment on What should I do if someone applied to a job at a company I work at without being able to legally work in my country? 2 months ago:
Ok, sorry, I read it differently when I first commented. Asking for proof of eligibility to work in the US with a reasonable timeline to furnish documents definitely seems like it makes sense like others said, but I’ll admit this isn’t my area of expertise by a long shot in terms of hiring protocols and my initial comment was from entirely the wrong perspective to address your dilemma.

“May not”?? What is that even supposed to mean? Were they Applying While Brown or something? Talking with an accent?
It sounds an awful lot like this isn’t something to stick your nose in and you should do your job, to me.

It might just be because it’s spring in the northern hemisphere but I got to thinking earlier, this world is a pretty cool place. Taking a walk in the woods and breathing the fresh air, getting lost in a book, spending an afternoon at the beach, exploring a city on foot… there are a lot of things to look forward to. Even the simple things, like a nice stretch after waking up. You know?

We’re already well-started down this path with brown people that we aren’t at war with. The group of undesirables must constantly expand under fascist leadership. To answer you succinctly: incredibly likely, perhaps even a near certainty
