Sure it’s been around for a while but almost no one was aware of it until around June 30th. It’ll happen eventually

In your post, you mentioned trying to compile a python app but not being able to due to GTK4 dependencies. That’s part of what Flatpak is trying to solve; dependency hell. Storage is so cheap now and it’s getting cheaper every year, you don’t think the few extra MBs are worth it?

Personally, I’d like it if most Linux apps were packaged as Flatpaks by their maintainers. It would let me try out more distros since I wouldn’t be missing any apps.

I’m kind of surprised there are Linux clients at all. You might just have to use the PWA until one of the clients becomes more mature.

Maybe try Voyager (previously wefwef) in compact mode?

Frectal Define R7 XL

Their website says a max of 18 HDDs and 5 SSDs in the storage layout. I have the R5 and am pretty happy with it.

Would it be bad practice?

No, it's fine. Especially for people who self host. Use what you have available to you as best you can

Why would it be bad practice?

Depends on your use case. A gigabit connection and hard drives are fine for something like a personal media server or simple file storage but if you wanted to edit video or play games from the NAS, you might look into upgrading to SSDs and getting a faster connection to the PC

I like the way the Apple Watch (non-ultra) looks and functions but the battery life is garbage. It’s almost tolerable brand new but the battery degrades over time and you have to charge more often. No thanks.

I currently use a Garmin forerunner 955. Since I use it for running I charge once a week or so. If you don’t work out and just want metrics, it lasts 2 weeks. I highly recommend Garmin watches

I run the snap version of Plex in an Ubuntu VM running in hyper-v on windows 11 pro. Unfortunately, my gaming computer and server are the same machine, and anti-cheat forces me to use windows as the host OS.

I have ports open for Wireguard and Plex. So far, no issues that I’m aware of. Time will tell

Yeah if you set up wireguard with the default port, you need to open port 51820 UDP and forward it to your raspberry pi.

You seem new so let me ask:

1. Did you set up your raspberry pi to have a static IP address?
2. Do you have a static public IP address through your ISP or did you set up a dynamic DNS service?

Looks like the last update was in December of last year. I remember seeing rumors that the project was no longer being maintained but never saw anything conclusive from the dev. Based on releases though, it’s not being maintained

Link to releases.

Anecdotally, I used it a few years ago and became frustrated that it didn’t integrate with my password manager. I always had to switch between the apps instead of just clicking the password pop-up like all the other browsers. Not sure if they ever fixed that.

Edit: at the time of posting, the above store was in stock. They go fast

Live dictation of voicemail is a close second

Like the other person said, more features.

Also, I don’t really understand Docker. Like, why use it over Flatpak, Snap, or LXC? I really need to research more but just haven’t done it yet

I can't seem to just let my self-hosted services sit and work. I'm always tearing them down, rebuilding them, moving them to different machines for various reasons, trying new installation methods and comparing features (ex. docker vs. VM vs. bare metal), trying new file systems, etc. Home Assistant itself is solid and I've never had to reinstall due to something breaking.

Imagine you need to go see your doctor. They work in a building with 65535 rooms. Some rooms are empty. Some rooms have people in them that provide different services. But you need your doctor so you look up their location.

You learn the building address (IP address) and the room number (port)

In practice, you attach services to specific ports so that other computers can access those services. Typically, http traffic is on port 80 and https is on port 443. So if you visit a website, you are likely connected to a server on one of those two ports. But it’s not a requirement. You could create a website and put it on port 2097, or 532, or 47210; it doesn’t matter.
