This looks cool but only having 5 bays is a dealbreaker. I want a minimum of 6 for a Raid-Z2 setup.

Agreed. Debian with docker, flatpak, and/or distrobox is solid

I think I see what you’re saying. My gripe is that if I want a laptop/tablet with a great ARM chip, with long battery life, my options all force me to use one of two operating systems that I’d prefer not to use for ideological reasons. If I’m forced to use one, because I want an ARM device, I might as well use the one that has the best hardware. M5s are right around the corner and the MacBook Airs are really competitive.

If I misinterpreted your question, then no, as far as I’m aware, none of the M series has FULL support. The M1s and M2s are pretty close though.

Let me know when these X elite chips have full Linux compatibility and then I’ll be interested. Until then, I’ll stick with Mac, it has the better hardware.

I’m currently using an iPhone and I had planned to go back to Android the next time I upgraded because I missed F-Droid, Obtainium, and the choice of different browser engines more than I expected. This kind of throws a wrench into that plan. If my choice is between walled garden and walled garden, why switch?

I’m currently looking into LineageOS to see if the cons of it are something I can tolerate. GrapheneOS seems cool but every pixel I’ve had has been unusable in the summer due to how it heats up and slows down to compensate. This sucks

Shapr3D has been pretty decent and for a hobbiest, $300/yr for their pro version has been tolerable

Edit: I see at least a few people don’t like Shapr3D so I’ll add to my description a little bit because I think it’s great for what I do. Shapr3D has a free tier, is cheaper than programs like Fusion360, Solidworks, Sketchup, etc., has apps for the iPad and desktop, recently added parametric features that OP requested, and is faster (on my machines) than Fusion360 and Sketchup. I haven’t gotten to the point where I’m designing complicated parts that move relative to one another (maybe it can’t do that, I don’t know). I usually just recreate single plastic parts that break around the house or designs for something I’m fabricating. It’s been great for those use cases. It’s also free for students with a school email.

This isn’t exactly what you asked for but just in case it might interest you; I ordered this Aoostar WTR Pro recently to replace an Odroid that died on me. It has an intel N150 and lets you install whatever OS you want. I’m pretty happy with it so far.

Paperless-ngx - it allows you to upload important documents like receipts, contracts, etc. and uses OCR so you can search them

2018 - adds digital wellbeing features to help you disengage from your device

2025 - makes the entire interface more engaging to help keep you engaged

It looks nice. It’s like having a casino in your pocket.

Agreed. They’ll erode everyone else’s right to privacy in order to “protect children”

Parents are free to restrict the content their children view. If the parents choose not to learn how to set up those restrictions, that’s on them.

Our government is broken. First the House of Representatives have to vote to impeach a president. Then the senate has to vote to remove the president from office.

Trump was impeached by the, at the time, left leaning house of representatives in his first term but the right leaning senate didn’t vote to impeach him so he stayed in office.

At the moment, both the house and senate lean right so they aren’t likely to do anything. The supreme court also basically said the president is above the law so they aren’t likely to do anything either.

To go along with that, Telegram doesn’t make it easy to set up an encrypted chat. First, you have to set up a regular chat, then tap on the profile image of the person you are messaging, then tap the 3 dot menu, and finally tap “secret chat”. It’s there but they clearly don’t want people using it.

If you know iptables, just stick with that. In my testing, docker containers seem to ignore ufw rules. Supposedly, iptable rules are respected but I haven’t learned iptables yet so I can’t verify.

I don’t know what the fuck is going on. The client app connects to all 4 servers it needs a connection to. I can create a user on the server and all clients can login using it, I just can’t get notes to sync.

Official docs here

I found this tutorial1 and this tutorial2

Tutorial2 makes this one port change to the official docker compose file but otherwise is seemingly the same as tutorial1:

  notesnook-s3:
    image: minio/minio:RELEASE.2024-07-29T22-14-52Z
    ports:
      - 9009:9000
      - 9090:9090

With that change, and setting the port of the domain to 9090, I can access minio in the browser. But I don’t know if that’s necessary or not. I’m stumped.

Did you by chance self host the sync server using docker compose? Their instructions aren’t great and I was hoping you had some tips.

For anyone else interested, if I figure it out, I’ll post what I did here.

Edit 1: I finally got it all setup but syncing isn’t working so I guess I did something wrong 🙄 . Troubleshooting now

I’m pretty happy with my Ubuntu, docker, and ZFS with Sanoid/Syncoid server. Nothing against NAS focused distros, I just haven’t come across a compelling enough reason to switch.

For hardware, I use a Odroid H4+. Intel N97, 4 SATA ports, Intel quick sync, and low power. It’s running my 20ish docker containers with plenty of power to spare. It’s been great

I’ll DM you in a bit but real quick I just wanted to say I thought you improved in this episode. Great work

has some basic monitoring on them.

What monitoring software are you using?

I feel like the other measures you talked about (backups, condom of network traffic, etc) I’m doing ok on. Its really just the monitoring where I’m stuck. There’s so many options

I’ll look into it, thank you
