I'm looking to replace my Rock 5B running Android TV (the OS jank has finally gotten to me) with an x64 Linux HTPC coupled with an Rii remote.

What distro would one recommend for a "Jellyfin native" client setup? I've run Kodi with the Jellyfin plugins before and not been a fan of the experience.

I'm wondering if anyone is aware of a tool that could work as an internet connected dementia clock - that is displaying the time, time of day, date, and the ability to update the display remotely with reminders, notes, and messages.

I have an old iPad kicking around, which could save us from purchasing something like this.

Thanks in advance!

Is there any reason why there don't seem to be any releases of Persona 5 for the PC? Anything I find is either Nintendo Switch or PS3 packaged alongside emulators. Does it really come down to the dramatic Denuvo cracker not bothering to have a go at this one?

Is there a relatively simple way to block network access to a program? Avoiding the command line ideally.

Heroic Launcher has a "run game offline" toggle for games that are installed/added through it, but I am trying to cut out the middle man and install non-steam games directly through Steam.

Steam launch commands? Any built in firewall?

Thanks in advance!

Hello! I finally decided to tackle a problem I've been putting off for some time, and got myself part of the way there but am now stuck, and hoping to find some assistance/information/nudge in the right direction.

The Goal

I am looking to have my services reached at the same url on both my internal network and externally (e.g. https://sub.domain.com).

The Setup

• Proxmox Host
  • LXC running NPM with its own IP
  • LXC running Docker with its own IP, and services each have a different port
  • VM for Home Assistant
• SBC running Pihole + unbound

The current workflow looks like:

1. Router points to Pihole as the DNS server for all network devices.
2. Pihole has local DNS records that redirect specific subdomains to the NPM LXC (I don't use a wildcard *.domain.com because some subdomains are hosted outside of my network, though they are outside the scope of this post).
3. NPM has Proxy Hosts that are set up using HTTP to the Docker services on the 2nd LXC.
4. Cloudflare tunnels are set up to point the same subdomains, when accessed externally, to the NPM LXC. As a bonus Cloudflare tunnels also handles the DDNS, zero trust (2FA) applications, and SSL.

The Problem

The current set up results in internal access taking place over HTTP while external access takes place over Cloudflare tunnels' HTTPS. This causes problems for some phone applications that require spelling out the connection type during set up, or even some applications that only allow access over HTTPS even when it's on the same network (looking at you Quillpad and Nextcloud Cookbook).

The Ask

I am not familiar with the steps that would be required to adjust my current set up such that all services accessed on my home network would connect over HTTPS. I am aware that external access over Cloudflare tunnels causes some wrinkles in using NPM's standard Let's Encrypt certificate & DNS challenge, which I believe means I need to use a certificate provided by Cloudflare. However, between Edge/Client/Origin/etc certificates, I am not sure what would get used and how that needs to be configured in NPM.

Any advice, reading material, video walkthroughs, etc is most welcome. Thank you in advance for any help!

I am wondering what can be done in Linux to reduce CPU power consumption. In Windows, I'm familiar with setting and testing power limits and undervolting using Throttlestop (amazing tool), but to my knowledge no such tool (command line or otherwise) exists for Linux.

I've recently acquired an HP Mini G6 with a full fat i7 10700, which came as a surprise as it was advertised as 10700T when I went to pick it up.

I was after the T CPU due to the lower power consumption for an always on home server that sees occasional use (media server, file sharing, image backup, etc)

Also, I don't actually know if the idle power consumption between the 10700 and the 10700T is actually any different, or if the T only prevents the CPU from boosting as hard - if anyone could clear that up! Cheers.
