Check out resilio.

I just came across Expanddrive. I haven’t used it, but it looks amazing.

Rustdesk works great, and it’s self hosted.

Wow. What am I reading.

If you ever cool off your super with cold water, this happens.

Sonos is great but it’s just a few dollars more for an even better device with more flexibility (if you’re starting fresh).

I started with a conbee which led to a lot of issues.

Definitely start with a beefy zigbee coordinator. I like the Ukrainian made SLZB-06. It can be USB or networked. I prefer networked, that way I can move it to a more central location in the house and keep my HA running as a VM in the basement.

My heart is always with Debian, but Bazzite is a surprisingly useable immutable OS. I would suggest using it for your core suite then use Distrobox w/ Debian for any apps outside of that. It’s so snappy!

Try bazzite.

Wayland is non-stop issues.

Plex has a known and very old issue of improperly transcoding 5.1 audio to stereo and dropping the center channel. It makes movies seem super quiet. That’s why I switched.

And you can always send me a question if you run up against something. I’m not an expert by any means but I’ve made it my daily driver for a couple years now.

I don’t feel like the Linux communities were really a friendly space in the early 2000s. And the Ubuntu forums felt like they became powerful in 2010. I played around with Linux briefly in 2005 and felt like there wasn’t much support for solving certain issues.

And when in doubt, ask chatgpt. It may give you a wrong answer but it can point you in the right direction.

Now you have the internet and arch wiki.

I love it, it works. Running a server is super easy and the speed is quite nice for a free piece of software.

They apologized and admitted that it was a dumb thing to do.

It’s ok for someone to be excited.

It may have been me both times. I went down a deep AD hole recently, and was trying to find an easy open source way to do it.

My advice is to put whatever you choose into a vm and snapshot it right before you configure the AD. I think I reconfigured mine 8 times before I was happy.
