@madcaesar @otl It's a small server running OpenBSD, configured to operate as a router and/or firewall.
Linux and the *BSDs can operate as very good routers and firewalls, usually being much more configurable and enabling you to do more complex than off-the-shelf consumer-level hardware routers. Using them on a small form factor computer with a cheap switch in front of them can give you a better performing and nicer to use alternative.
@rutrum @jntesteves I have that controller. It's the best controller I've used โ I greatly prefer it to my Series X controller.
The back paddle buttons don't work for me with SteamInput in XInput mode though. Reading around, I think that's independent of Linux and a limitation of the firmware on them though.
@unhinge I run a simple 48TiB zpool, and I found it easier to set up than many suggest and trivial to work with. I don't do anything funky with it though, outside of some playing with snapshots and send/receive when I first built it.
I think I recall reading about some nuance around using LUKS vs ZFS's own encryption back then. Might be worth having a read around comparing them for your use case.
@ShaunaTheDead @CowsLookLikeMaps The ProtonVPN app is native. It's basically a frontend to NetworkManager.
@fl42v I have thousands from my early days, but my only recent-ish one was pretty funny.
On an Arch install that hadn't been updated for a while, in a rush, had an app that needed OpenSSL 3. Instead of updating the whole system, I just updated the openssl package.
*Everything* broke immediately. Turns out a lot of stuff depends on openssl. Who knew?
To fix, booted to the arch installer, chrooted into my env, and reverted to the previous version of the package โ then updated properly.
@squidspinachfootball @marcos Syncthing syncs. It does one way syncs, but if your workflow is complex and depends on one way syncs that's probably not what you want.
Sync things between operational systems, then replicate to nonoperational systems, and backup to off site segregated systems.
@cinaed666 @twotone I also have the Forerunner 55.
Something to note is that Garmin watches are Linux-friendly and can be used without signing up to their cloud services. You can access the watch as a USB storage device and manually grab the .FIT files on it, which you can then import into tools of your choice (or convert to .GPX for wider compatibility).
@rainpoint @RealAccountNameHere Their venture investment has dried up after they used their last round of ~$250m to more than double their workforce in less than two years in a drive to capitalise on crypto shit. Now they've had their valuation roughly halved and are left in a really tricky position, desperately needing to monetise to survive.
Spez was chasing an IPO in all the ways you'd expect of a modern techbro, completely misreading the NFT craze and the impact of enshittification.

@zutto @warlaan Searching about, this was Plex banning the use of Plex on Hetzner's IP block, right? Not a decision made by Hetzner?
