On the bottles website, it says that the bottles are sandboxes. It has a full subsystem container for each program that is isolated from the main system (according to them I guess).

If you run it through something like bottles offer a bit of protection in that respect?

Sadly, just the store doesn’t work for many professional programs and non-free software.

Segger j-link, renesas go hub, Nordic tools, etc… (though AUR solves this on arch distros)

Opensuse MicroOS variants kalpa and aeon are probably what they are looking for. Stupid easy to set up and, from what I understand, quite secure.

Downside is that it needs workarounds for some things like Steam Flatpak and such, but that is the nature of atomic distros.

I would be interested to see a figure of people with home servers that have had that happen to them. DoS & pwned yes, especially 15+ years ago before there were good resources, TLS, reverse proxies, or authentication front ends.

I would be very interested to see any stat whatsoever of selfhosters that have gottened murdered specifically because of their server.

It is extremely important to note that in those days, people just opened their, often out-of-date, servers completely to the internet via a DMZ or port forwarding, let ssh be open to the internet, didn’t harden ssh at all, and most people didn’t use a VPN for downloading.

That is literally like saying that people who light wall torches in their wooden home burned their house down, so let’s not use lightbulbs or electricity.

Well I am learning that hardware-wise, my open source smart watch AFE might require an interrupt pin (apparently the RTC fallback that Maxim says is why a big crystal is required just doesn’t do anything and no docs on how to set up that or polling mode) to work with the algorithm chip. That brings the cost from 20€ for 5 PCBs to 350€.

So I might need to write a new zephyr driver for the AFE chip directly and then spend months more work making an open source PPG algorithm and adjustable LED gain algorithm to keep the project going.

What is the difference between a paid service and a paywalled service in this case?

So you have absolutely no devices that are a different resolution than you download? You don’t direct play 4k on a 1080p screen for example.

Really depends.

I am in belgium and for Electronics engineering, there are very few jobs and a lot of candidates (and notoriously difficult to get around via car in belgium). I have 5 year of experience, recommendation letters, and good references.

20 applications. 9 ghosted, 4 auto rejections, 2 declined by me as not a good job, 1 rejection after hiring manager interview (too far, 1.5+ hour one way in traffic and they had closer candidates just as good), 2 rejections after final interview (one ghosted, the other wanted to take both me and the other candidate on, but couldn’t), 2 offers.

It is definitely rough in the engineering industry outside of defense.

On the flip side, I see hundreds of software jobs here and hundreds of electrical/building automation jobs.

Me too, and the new one I didn’t even realize this change happened. I saw there were no breaking changes, updated, and saw “oh, it isn’t synced anymore” so I reselected the folders, it ran a sync check on everything, which took a while, and everything works fine again.

I didn’t even realize there was a difference until now, but I guess there is a start/stop sync switch.

Damn, I am only at a ratio of like 10 from some season packs of Chuck and The Mentalist. 565 is crazy!

I mean, jellyfin is absolutely even.more of a security nightmare than Plex, with multiple unfixed CVEs IIRC (software, not website or forum)

I use jellyfin also, but I only trust it not exposed to the internet at all. That is one very big area of improvement for them.

That and subtitle syncing.

That is pretty expensive nowadays, if OP wants to go that expensive, getting a mini PC with the latest intel N150. The pi 5 doesn’t even have hardware AV1 decoding. By the time you have all of the pi accessories, it is not much of a price difference, but defi itely a performance difference.

Plus you get benefits like actual storage instead of a separately bought SD card, more RAM, 2.5G ethernet, and HDMI2.1 & USB–C displayport.

Then you slap Linux on it (and also hope that plasma bigscreen is a success in the near future) and you have a very reliable 4K HTPC that can decode anything you throw at it. It has enough horsepower to be a home server at the same time, unlike a pi while also having just a bit higher idle power usage (2W or so).

Is this similar to Wero as a back end or different parts of the process?

If you mean weightlifting, liflog is really the best that there is right now. Beautiful interface, simple, database of exercises to add (though it is isn’t as good as something like Progression, which isn’t open source).

Programs for weightlifting are pretty simple and Jeff Nippard has great program overviews for different goals and availability, and tons of other fitness youtubers also.

If you mean something that is more bodyweight/calisthenics with video/animated explanations then I don’t know of one.

Or if your internet enters the house in a dead zone.

I have a brick house and our internet comes inside literally in one far corner with the most walls around it, so if the access point in there. Half of our house gets no internet.

I went for a cloud gateway ultra and then one access point centrally in the house where everything can reach.

It is

However, for file transfer, LocalSend is a smoother UX and supports almost any device for transfer. It won me over from KDE connect because I can transfer things with different phones, friends’ comuters when they are here, work computer in rare cases with a portable install and no need to bond anything.

That’s perfect! I ran my server on an old HP laptop for 2 years before I put together a desktop SFF server with 2nd hand gaming PC parts.

Just throw Debian or opensuse MicroOS on it and take off!

Even for a step in between the two if you need more storage, I used one of these docking stations that you can get for cheap to add more storage.

Is your printer network attached and scanning via flatpak packages?

Network printing works fine, USB printing and scanning works also, it is just anything having to use saned that flatpaks can’t seem to use

I have hopped through multiple distros and I have never once had scanning not work on a “normal” one after correctly setting up saned. Only bazzite because of the flatpak/system split (also why any embedded programming needs distrobox)

It’s worth it to note for people switching that your network printer is unlikely to have usable scanning functionality with flatpak scanners you install (unless something has changed in the last 6 months since I tried last)
