In current climate? I’d say almost the opposite, get 16 gigz of RAM and only add more if you really need it or if it gets cheaper. You can add ram any time, it’s the beauty of a desktop pc builds.

Imho they are first and foremost entertainment. If you take it as such, it’s fun. Although as others mentioned it has a bit downward tendency. I think Linus, Luke and others are intelligent, reasonable people and that makes it easier to stick to watching them. True that Linus is sometimes impatient, we all saw his Linux challenges 😅 but they are ok

Guilty until proven otherwise? I think in civilized society its the other way around, right?

I always had too many bugs on Ubuntu. Fedora has been solid from the beginning. Only ever had two issues with it in 4 years. I never had such stable experience before.

I humbly disagree with others that 16 Gigz of ram is not enough. A. For the first server it is definitely enough, before you know what you really need. B. In current rampocalypse it would be crazy buying ram without knowing that you really need it (only for it to sit there unused later). Your setup is fine and only time and your inner hobbyist selfhoster will tell later what you need.

Edit: and fyi I curretly do have 48 Gigz 😂, bought it a year ago very cheap and my system uses 10. Therefore I have set a high ARC to 16 GB. I used to try local LLM but didn’t find it useful for the high power consumption. Just wanted to show you where my opinion come from. Nowadays I wouldn’t buy more than strictly necessary.

I’d recommend using eficient procesors as well, so with ryzen with grafics and efficience it’s GE at the end. I recently switched ryzen 5 5500 for ryzen 5 4600GE (because 5500 doesn’t have efficient variant) and the consumption halved (- 30Wh). And both were/are basically idle with very low loads.

Ah, makes sense, thanks! I can imagine small projects must be careful. On the other hand if someone does it for fun and learning that is fine even despite the risk of not finishing :)

Whats wrong with rust?

Do you use tailscale as an exit node? What device are you using to access the home network when you are away? What are your speeds on that device without tailscale (but still away)?

Or did you mean that the speed drop happens for the server, not for the connected device? So when you are connected through tailscale the server would be unable to e.g. download anything fast?

Are you using any other networking sw?

How are you running tailscale at home? Docker? Or natively?

I have implicitly accepted it, as any normal user, but it doesn’t change the fact that its a security hole the size of Greenland 😀. And it works like this on Windows and basically MacOS as well as I stated above. So all players just got okay with that I suppose because everybody does it…

Who defines the untrusted applications though? Thank you for the links! Btw I found out its the same on all major systems, on Windows as well as on MacOS (there they have credentials per app, but its easily spoofable for the same reason why GNOME refuses to even implement this).

Man I can’t believe what rabbit hole I am getting into. It indeed seems crazy, how can this be acceptable. How is it possible that nobody is concerned by this.

That is the default behavior on most mainstream distros. And there is no timeout either, it stays unlocked the whole time you are logged in. In most cases users do not even know they have something like this and what is its purpose (seen a lots of confused people on forums asking about it when they start being prompted for password when they get mismatched from the login one for some reason).

That would be awesome! Anyway good luck and have fun developing it, it’s interesting project 😊

You might want to check Ente Auth. Not sure how many checkboxes it ticks for you but I know people are quite happy with it.

Nice, and interesting. I would reconsider the name though. Its hitting way too close to google. I know that was the intention, but I think you will be in google’s shadow because of it.

Fedora just works for me in every case except NAS where I have TrueNAS, so Fedora it is and I installed it even to couple of people and they also like it.

I will teach you a trick. Login with e.g. github. Create a tailnet. Create new user invite link, use it yourself - you can setup login with passkey to this second user. Promote to admin. Leave with your github user. Voila you have an account and tailnet with only passkey, no big brother oauth or anything.
