Depending on the software you need and how technical you are, Wine and Bottles may be a solution to not need an VM.

Huh, never heard of it! from what I gathered from the website its a central VPN? Wouldn’t that be overkill for a homelab scenario? Thanks for your response!

Thank you for not only taking the time to answer but also adding quite useful resources. I will look into it!

TIL, benutze zwar seit geraumer Zeit Geizhals aber gut zu wissen.

That seems to be the only viable option. Someday I need to build something like this myself.

I wish this was the case, but my Oneplus Nord does not have any “smart” features.

I am quite impressed by the funders, German state and Mozilla. Wow.

The problem is probably a legality thing. In Germany for example AFAIK people need to be told they are recorded and must accept to this. So by implementing such a feature, you need to adhere to local laws, which differ from country to country and may make it way to complex and dangerous to implement.

Ein generelles Verbot nein, ich bin aber dafür einzelne Landesverbände zu verbieten. Thüringen wäre da ein guter Anfang. Wenn die Spitze staatsfeindliche Aussagen trifft, darf sie keine Macht in der Landesregierung erhalten. Damit löst sich dann auch von ganz allein das Problem auf Bundesebene.

Trotzdem muss dazu verstärkt auf politische Bildung gesetzt werden. Das Diskussionen dee Bundesregierung immer als Streit und schlecht angesehen werden, halte ich bereits für ein Scheitern der politischen Bildung. Das gehört in einer Demokratie einfach dazu.

That seems like quite a large endavour. And I’m always a fan of alternatives. One thing I do not fully understand is the, I do not want to selfhost so its federated. Somebody needs to host in the end, why can’t it be you?

To improve security of option 1 you could use a keyfile, that is either only transferred manually to devices or stored at a second cloud provider.

The two main reasons I decided to opt for a VPS was, that I don’t have a PC here that is efficient enough and the faster fresh installs and snapshots are a pro too.

Thanks this is quite helpful!

If you’re into tactical third person shooters, I can only recommend SOCOM especially the second part! Tactical Squad Based Shooters, where rushing in is seldom the answer.

That’s just such a great image!

Das finde ich schon sehr harsch formuliert. Am Ende entscheidet jeder selbst welches Produkt er nutzen möchte. Wenn alle rationale Entscheidungen treffen würden, hätten wir generell keine übermächtigen Social Media Plattformen. Wäre besser, ist aber leider nicht so.

Its a set of software tools, that are often bundled together with the Linux-Kernel. Most Distros use them.

Sounds like Showly, that aggregates track.tv and IMDB. https://github.com/1RandomDev/showly-oss

Can’t confirm, used it for free for years and am now a happy paying customer.

Yes, the surf game is way more fun than the dino in my opinion!
