Any of them really, there should be very little difference between distros on the latest kernels.

The immich public proxy app is built for this, you run it on your isolated public VLAN, and it displays a shared album to people while loading the images from immich.

You can try and figure out what’s accessing the array:

fatrace | grep /mnt/mountpoint/

This will show you the process, type of access (read, write, open, etc), and path. If you don’t see anything right away just leave it running for a bit.

The SFF or MT form factors are a lot better, I’d say MT is the best as it has full height PCIe slots. Keep in mind the dell/hp/lenovo models all use proprietary motherboard form factors and power supplies, but not that big of a deal I think since there are so many parts available if something does break.

I highly recommend 7th gen intel or newer, as you get the much better quicksync support and quality.

If you get a desktop class CPU (i5-7500 for example), the whole computer will typically draw around 15W at idle with an SSD, which is pretty decent.

If you need less idle power draw then you’ll want a mobile/notebook class CPU (like an i3-7100u) as the idle usage should be less than 5W. But those typically only come in the micro/mini form factors.

Also good to remember that every 3.5" HDD draws around 7W when idle and spun-up (typically difficult to spin down on servers since there’s always some process accessing files).

Maybe run the public VPN at home with NAT enabled, and use it as the default gateway in the private VPN. Never done it but I think I’ve seen some guides on that concept.

Is there any window in the room (or close by) where you could stick the vent outside when drying stuff?

I don’t see how it could condense the very hot damp air from the drier without an active refrigerant loop drawing a fair amount of power. It would also heat up the laundry room like crazy.

TBH it should be a configurable option on every update tool. On my windows install I have unigetui set to only show updates older than 14 days so winget, pip, etc don’t even show brand new updates.

This is for OTP not Passkeys it seems?

How do you go about loading plugins on the Android version for sync with your setup?

For other websites, if I search for ‘passkey’ on the KeePass website feature list nothing comes up. Plugins in a password manager sketch me out a bit tbh lol

KeeAnywhere

That’s a neat one, although it doesn’t look like KeePass supports passkeys yet, at least I don’t see it in the feature list.

I switched over to keepass yesterday, and surprisingly the import from BW was perfect (as far as I can tell), even passkeys came over just fine.

I ended up using Keepass2Android and just pointing it at my webdav server, it seems to work pretty well!

On desktop it’s already taken care of since I put the DB in my folders that already sync via Syncthing.

KeePassXC + KeePassDX is probably the best option, with the downside of no way to sync easily (syncthing is probably the best option there)

I might switch back at some point, been getting frustrated with the bitwarden extension performance always being so poor.

That’s awfully optimistic lol

I use zram only with no swap on the SSD for my laptop/desktop.

For my server it has zram too but with extra low priority swap on the SSD just in case zram gets full up.

Hibernate isn’t something I’ve really ever used, my laptop uses very little power in sleep mode.

Mostly just quick notes in Obsidian, if I do anything complex or ‘unusual’ to set something up I’ll save the history that I ran.

Fedora w/ KDE always just feels like home to me, I like the defaults so I don’t spend much time mucking around, and it feels stable and reliable.

I feel like a linux ISO swarm would have quite a lot of fully connectable peers.

I’d just delete older stuff you’ve already watched, unless it’s something you plan on re-watching at least.
