HomeAssistant should works great on this device. If you have a bunch of smart devices from different brands and want to consolidate them into a single local system, give HomeAssistant a go. There should be plenty of resource left to run pihole/Adguard as well.

I'm not sure if the GPU is fast enough to run the Steam Link client, but if it does, you can hook it to your tv so you can stream your PC games into the tv when needed.

You can also hook it into a TailScale network and set it as an exit relay so you can have a VPN from your phone/laptop that redirect all internet traffics through your home network. Very useful when you want to secure your connection when using public WiFi in a hotel or cafe.

I suspect it's more like the workaround used by network operators to scale up IPv4 to serve billions of users necessitate more and more layer of nodes to route your packets through.

  • Fewer hops usually required when using IPv6, which means shorter latency.
  • Simplified header means less processing time needed to process IPv6 packets, which might improve latency on each hop.
  • It also supports multicast, but I'm not sure if it can be used to improve routing and latency.

The possibility to have your packets passed through a shorter route compared to IPv4 packets is worth it imo. I have 280 ms ping to the US and I can cut it down to ~250ms by routing my traffic via certain countries with vpn. I really hope widespread IPv6 deployment would optimize global internet routing so my latency would improve even if just a few ms so I don't need to use VPN to override my route manually.

The commercial nginx+ has a status endpoint that can be hooked into graphana/prometheus, but as you can imagine, status endpoints is one of the money maker for nginx inc so they won't put it on the opensource version anytime soon. There is also a basic status endpoint available in the opensource version of nginx, but it doesn't return much.

This is just a matter of personal preference, but I can't stand libreoffice UI. It has more features but I don't open office documents much, mostly just some basic spreadsheets, so I can get away with using a document editor with less feature but easier to the eye.

Every time I setup a new system, I always install these:

  • vim
  • zsh
  • git
  • rsync
  • tmux
  • mosh
  • btop
  • autossh
  • mc
  • direnv
  • asdf-vm

If the system is a desktop/laptop for personal use, then I'll install these too:

  • virt-manager
  • vscode
  • firefox
  • filezilla
  • mpv
  • yt-dlp
  • kdeconnect
  • onlyoffice

Finally, to IBM, here’s a big idea for you. You say that you don’t want to pay all those RHEL developers? Here’s how you can save money: just pull from us. Become a downstream distributor of Oracle Linux. We will happily take on the burden.

Oh shit, Oracle and IBM are going to duke it out. Where is my popcorn?

Interesting, so this is the latest recommendation? Which is probably why I haven't seen it in the wild yet, at least in my circles.

Which means they probably going to ~~cash out~~ release gTLDs for .intranet, .internal, .private, .corp, .home and .lan soon...

According to IETF, you should only use .intranet, .internal, .private, .corp, .home or .lan for your private network ( RFC 6762 Appendix G ). Using other TLDs might cause issues in the future, especially since new gTLDs seems to show up every few months or so, which can collide with the TLD you use for your local network.

I see a new lemmy-ui docker image has been pushed an hour ago, tagged 0.18.2-rc.1. Anyone know if it fixed the issue?

Edit: yep, it's fixed: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/commit/e80bcf53acb8ce25ed5ef6b7eb16b90f0b07e8f1

XSS is a blanket term for vulnerabilities that allows attackers to inject client-side scripts. Looks like someone is already identified and submitted a pull request that contain a fix: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/pull/1897/files
