It’s great to see another open source OIDC provider (with more features). I’ve set up Pocket ID which is awesome because of it’s simplicity and it’s great.
Some I haven’t yet found in this thread:
127.0.0.1:8080:8080
)Sadly it’s not possible to provide links using Firefox Translate. People would have to translate it themselves (i.e. opening in a browser and clicking translate). Depending on the device they likely wouldn’t bother.
Agreed. In general people seem to like centralised platforms. They don’t want to sign up on another site for a specific purpose. They stick to what they know unless there’s good reason to change (mostly peer/ad/social media pressure I feel like).
In a way Lemmy is similar in that it’s a single platform to access all types of content. Given most people don’t care about the technical “how”, I can see why they like Discord and Reddit.
There’s pretty much a single DP -> HDMI adapter that supports VRR by Cable Matters. Officially I don’t think VRR should work over adapters, or at least other manufacturers don’t invest the time to make it work.
Because YouTube pays Louis Rossmann, compared to selfhosting video which costs tremendous amounts of money through bandwidth.
Yes, ~/.local/share/flatpak
includes all user installed flatpaks, while /var/lib/flatpak
includes all system wide installed flatpaks. Both include repository information and required runtimes (i.e. dependencies).
This does not include user data, which is stored in ~/.var/app
.
Make sure to test your backup just in case on another system/VM.
SteamOS as a whole is not open source. Most of it is, but it also includes proprietary software (e.g. Steam itself). This is likely why you were downvoted, as SteamOS can be kept private without violating any license thus your first statement was false.
Valve could distribute each single piece of open source software they use on request to their customers, without publishing any guide to actually build it. (Thanks for linking to Valve’s repo, which seems to match this statement.)
This is how Apple does it with Darwin, the BSD-derived open source core of macOS. Without all the proprietary parts it’s not useful as an OS, even though they follow all the necessary licensing.
FreeTube does not have controller support, and for AndroidTV I’d recommend SmartTube.
Kodi/LibreELEC is able to do all of it, but IMO it’s not a good experience for browsing YouTube and I don’t know how well the third party Steam Link integrations work.
This is why I’d also recommend LineageOS Android TV, which supports Pi’s thanks to konstakang. But I’m not sure why it’d work better than a FireTV stick, since both run AndroidTV.
Edit: I’ve had an issue where the Pi 5 wouldn’t boot AndroidTV, until I tried to turn it on again after a few weeks. So I’d recommend sticking with the FireTV + SmartTube + Jellyfin + Steam Link (unless you’ve got a Pi 5 lying around anyway).
Edit 2: The Pi 5 + Android TV had issues with HDMI-CEC of the TV, so I had to buy a remote with a USB adapter. This sends the wrong signals (e.g. keyboard enter, not what Android TV expects), which is fixable with some app remapper. Maybe it’ll work better for you, but the FireTV is likely the easier solution.
IIRC the acceleration curves supported by Sway are the same as libinput, at least that’s how I understood the poor pieces of Dokumentation I found [1]. I don’t think think libinput supports offsets and upper limits, so it’s not really useful for gaming.
I’d recommend going with leetmouse, which does work well (altough I don’t use it anymore).
leetmouse by systemofapwne is more up to date and includes the PR of N-R-K [2].
Yes.
Because they use the official apps/web-vault, they don’t need to implement most of the vault/encryption features, so at least the actual data should be fine.
Security audits are expensive, so I don’t expect it to happen, unless some sponsor pays for it.
They have processes for CVEs and it seems like there wasn’t any major security issues (altough I wouldn’t host a public instance for unknown users).
Vaultwarden is one of the few services I’d actually trust to be secure, so I wouldn’t worry if you update timely to new versions.
Yes, Bitwarden browser plugins require TLS, so I use DNS challenge to get a cert without an open port 80/443.
The domain points to a local IP, so I can’t access it without the VPN.
Having everything behind a reverse proxy makes it much easier to know which services are open, and I only need to open port 80/443 on my servers firewall.
Fully agreed.
Accessing Vaultwarden through a VPN gives me peace of mind that it can’t be attacked.
Another great thing about Bitwarden is that it’s possible to export locally cached passwords to (encrypted) json/csv. This makes recovery possible even if all backups were gone.
Great to hear you found my comment helpful.
Just make sure you make backups regularly. Especially with used drives, I wouldn’t count on them surviving the stress of a rebuild. If a second drive fails in a RAID10, all data might be gone.
Edit: I’d be thankful if you could report back how the test goes. I need a drive for a backup ;) and I’m considering buying from eBay too.
I will test them upon receiving and see how it goes from there:)
I don’t know where exactly you live, but if your in the EU customs/taxes + shipping will make the deal worse, but better than expected.
E.g. for Germany, this drive would cost 382€ with UPS Saver Duties & Taxes included, instead of 273€ for the drive itself.
I’ve found the same drive with a local commercial eBay seller for 420€, including taxes and shipping.
A new 24TB drive would cost 485€.
Edit: IMO a better deal would be 22TB drives, which have the same price per TB but are new. But then again, their used/recertified price is also ~10% lower than new.
Why LVM + BTRFS instead of only using btrfs? Unless you need RAID 5/6, which doesn’t work well on btrfs.
Nintendo didn’t put legal pressure on emulator devs for decades at this point, which made devs less cautious about preserving their pseudonymity.
Now it’s too late and they can’t stop Nintendo from finding out who they are and which mistakes they did at some point over the years.
Maybe a new generation of emulator developers will be more protective of their identity, by using hosting providers like Njalla or privacy networks like i2p. The latter would limit access (as it requires i2p), which isn’t desirable for most users.
