My router (unifi dream machine) offers regional blocking, so I block Russia, China, and a few others that I’ve gotten hits from. So far so good.

You are intentionally dodging the point.

If I select a top row app, that application can “advertise” what’s new on the top half of the screen.

Yes. They are advertising to you. That’s what “ad” is short for: “advertisement”.

Apple TV units have ads.

Because they decided to go with Fedora.

You are very wrong. We have two Apple TV units. They absolutely have ads now.

Launcher, home screen, app screen, whateveryouwannacallit of an Apple TV unit.

Apple TV’s launcher was recently “updated” to showcase whatever latest content is being pushed through Apple’s own services. Which is advertisement.

I get it as well, which is what my own frustration stems from 😂

Until those same people refuse to believe anything except Google because “big company = more trustworthy” or some bullshit.

lmao

Oof. Dump that router and get yourself something nice, like a Unifi router. Or go the DIY route and build an OPNsense box.

OPNsense is the way I’m gonna go after my OG UDM shits the bed. But it’s almost 7 years old and still kicking…

I have an HP Proliant G2 tower server case from the early 2000s. Its got 9 drive bays (if you include the floppy drive bay).

Hilariously, it’s ATX compatible, so I stuffed it with an older Asus motherboard (7th gen Intel + i7-7700T, w/NVME slot), 16GB DDR4 RAM, ~650W ATX PSU, and an LSI SAS card. Now I just need to migrate everything over to it from my older Mac Mini that’s currently serving as the NAS…

I’ve never run a full blown Debian OS

Ubuntu is literally just Debian with Canonical’s bullshit on top.

I tend towards ubuntu lts pro with automatic upgrades and reboots.

This can be done easily on Debian, too. Without an artificial limitation.

Don’t use Ubuntu as a server. Pretty much every server application will run happily on Debian, meanwhile Canonical keeps adding shit that is Ubuntu-specific.

Ubuntu used to be the go-to, but Canonical is quickly becoming the poster child for Linux enshittification.

The linked post is fairly positive. I’m not too worried - we’re probably gonna see an uptick in user friendliness.

It’s a salute. o is the head, 7 is the arm and hand.

Fair enough. I’d like a web client as well, honestly, but Signal does ship desktop clients for Windows, Mac, and even Linux.

I’m actually using the Linux desktop client to chat with my wife right now.

My wife and I tried Signal a while back and didn’t care for it.

What about it didn’t you like? I have no investment in Signal, my curiosity is just piqued since my wife and I use it.

My wife and I use Signal. It works well.

Tailscale. It’s free.

Something about Tailscale rubs me the wrong way. That “free” aspect, specifically. No company ever runs a free service without some sort of compromise somewhere.

Porkbun master race!

Did you just go for 3.0, or did you do “baby steps” in between? (e.g. 1.138 > 2.0 > 3.0)

Pretty much that. Downloaded the latest compose.yml, copied all the relevant bits from my existing compose file to the fresh one (volumes, database/db credentials, etc), set the version to v2.0.0, and let 'er rip. Made sure it was playing nice, then checked all the changelogs up to 2.7.x (whatever patch was the newest last week), set the version to v2, and updated it again.

Fast forward to this week, all I did was set the version to ‘v3’ and the update took without a problem.

Just find an old office PC. It’ll do just as much as (if not more than) an Xbox One X, which runs even older hardware.

7020 with the i7-4790

I’ve got a pair of those in my basement closet just waiting for something to do. The 4790 will always have a special place in my heart 😂

Oh, same here. As soon as I discovered Immich, I pored through all the info I could get my hands on and found that breaking changes happened often, so I made absolutely certain to read every changelog for things that may affect my setup. I sstopped updating it last year due to life getting in the way, and it was stuck on 1.138 (and shut off) until last week when I decided to pay attention to it again.

Downside: breaking changes are fairly common AFAIK.

Breaking changes only come with major version changes now.

I literally just updated mine two days ago 😂

Ah yes, I forgot about the merge ability. Pretty sweet protocol, honestly.

Keepass has native support for ftp, http, https, and webdav, and with a plugin supports scp, sftp, and ftps through the native save/open from url. There are even plugins for proton drive, google drive, onedrive, s3, box, dropbox… etc.

Important distinction: The OG KeePass desktop program supports that. KeePass XC (popular fork for Linux users) does not, and the maintainers have loudly rejected any attempts to add it.
