Currently trying YunoHost now, though for some reason it says my GMKtec G9 has a MMC/Micro SD?

That’s because it does have eMMC storage - 64GB worth (I went and looked at their product page). “eMMC” storage is the exact same type of storage that SD cards use. eMMC storage devices pop up in Linux as /dev/mmcblkX (generally X = 0 for single devices), with their partitions tagged on the end of that device as p1, p2, etc.

“Legal streaming” is just cable 2.0. Pretty soon every tier is going to have ads in order to “maintain quality of service and content”, which is just corporate-speak for “imaginary money line go up forever”.

This shit is why I pirate with zero guilt.

Windows 7

It was never set in stone until the 2000 election.

Debian for sure. It’s the Toyota 4Runner of the operating system world:

• Older but proven tech that just chugs right along.
• Not a ton of features out of the box, but supported by basically everything aftermarket.
• Major updates, while slow but regular, bring a lot of improvements - most of which are under the hood.

This. My employer provides a laptop (Surface 7…eugh), and nothing personal outside of basic web browsing is done on it.

Oh cool! Just gonna add that real quick… falls down rabbit hole again

The shelf is fine, it was like that when I bought it (new). But I am definitely considering reinforcement.

Ah, klugerblickdummkopf

Oh for sure. I’ve got a handful of SFFs and mini PCs making up my little “homelab”:

(Yes, that’s the furnace. No, it’s not hot there. Ever. I’ve checked on it many, many times.)

I’ve also got another pair of Optiplex 9020s, an Optiplex 3040, and my old trusty HP Elite 8100 SFF w/8300 SFF mobo, i7-3770/32GB, and modded BIOS that supports booting from NVMe (via it.s M.2 PCIe card). Those are sitting in the closet just taking up space at the moment.

eBay supplied the 7050 and the mini PCs. My sister gave me the other Optiplexen from her work office.

A 35W i7-7700T mini PC from 2017 will absolutely spank a modern N150 in single and multi–threaded applications, and uses very little extra power to do so.

Mini PC is the way to go.

OMV has dark mode.

Until you lose that piece of paper in the thousands of other pieces of paper that were supposed to help you with this.

Apologies for the reddit link, but this is the dev explaining it:

The other issue with this - If you lose access to that one system, you’re SOL. It’s a single point of failure.

I use Aegis, automatically backed up every time a new key is added. Was using Authy for a while, but they’re going down the enshittification hole, so I dumped them.

The point of 2FA is “something you have” and “something you know” to enter a secured system.

If you put both of those into one system that is accessible by one password, the whole concept is defeated.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again - blame Dodge (yes, that Dodge) for setting precedent that shareholder satisfaction legally comes before customer satisfaction.

It was a while ago, I don’t remember much of it unfortunately. Only the idiots.

Syncthing is incredible. I use it on my devices, and everything is also backed up to my NAS.
