Doesn’t help that Mozilla leadership is incompetent and doesn’t know what their core audience wants

Good chances their super obscure metal band is on Bandcamp

The restriction pretty much aims at companies like Amazon that rehost an open source project. That sounds pretty fair to me

This feels like a move against the open RSS based podcasting system we fortunately have at the moment. Instead of getting money from sponsor deals, creators will have to join Spotify as their main platform to get revenue and continue podcasting. Then Spotify can further lock down their content and we get a closed ecosystem.

You can limit your speed in the dev console of most browsers

I’ve never heard of this, but looks pretty cool. I use Yggdrasil in my homelab and on the surface this looks pretty similar in that both are decentralized mesh VPNs. The goals are somewhat different though and I think that shows in some choices the projects made.

Just reading through the docs of AWL it looks pretty good. They use libp2p for transport encryption and NAT traversal. libp2p itself is a spinoff from the IPFS project and pretty widely used. Compared to that Yggdrasil does not have any NAT traversal built in, instead every node is capable of relaying traffic and it will find the best route through the network.

The bootstrapping in AWL relies on community nodes, though you can host your own. Yggdrasil similarly has public peers if you want to participate in the official network, but you can just not configure those and use one or two of your own publicly reachable servers to build a separate network. That’s how I have mine configured, with a VPS and another public server being the primary relay nodes.

In AWL you must explicitly allow other peers to connect to you. That’s pretty good, otherwise you could just reach any other server on the network. Yggdrasil has similar functionality in that you can specify which public keys can connect to the server, but defaults to allow any member so potentially less secure than AWL.
Edit: Yggdrasil allows you to set a password to connect to your nodes

I’d be curious to know which ip ranges AWL uses for its address scheme. I could only find reference to 10.66.0.2 for the public test server. Yggdrasil used ipv6 addresses in the 0200::/7 range, that’s technically reserved by IETF but has been deprecated since 2004. With this you’re certain to not have conflicts, the usual ipv6 local range is fc00::/7

For other interesting projects also Nebula. It is completely self hosted but not decentralized. You need one or more special nodes called “lighthouses” which are used for the initial handshake between nodes. This has some advantages like ACLs for different nodes.

Another fully decentralized project I’ve looked at but never tried is EasyTier. I think last time I checked it did not have any ipv6 support

Minimum wage in Germany gets you ~1700€ after taxes, making 5€ closer to 0.3% of your income. Beside that there are so many other things you could save a bit on instead of complaining about a single 5€ subscription for an actually very important service

Why not give every server a reasonably memorable domain name?

Yes, you need root to write to a disk device. The tool needs to create completely new partitions so Windows works.

Microsoft comes preinstalled on most computers and their Creation Tool works ok. I don’t think they care for the rest.

Did you do Quadlets?

I test in my Homeproduction

Is the pipewire service enabled for that user? It’s a systemd user service

I use Arch (btw) on my desktops and laptops.

On my servers I’m halfway through replacing Debian with openSUSE.

My desktop and servers have different use cases and I interact with them in different ways, so there’s little confusion for me.

Agreed. I was going to argue more against encryption, but you can see me somewhat changing my mind in the second half of my comment.

For me personally, I don’t want the hassle of encryption on my VPS and have decided I’m fine with the remaining risk.

It’s worth going through the provider’s policies.

For example, here’s how Hetzner handles deletion of your data

Encryption will prevent mistakes, but if you can’t trust the provider’s policies you shouldn’t trust them to run your infrastructure at all.

Sonarr and Radarr heavily rely on quality profiles you need to define, for examples see TrashGuides.

Your system probably needs less setup in comparison

Do you know any? I’ve never really looked beyond ntfy.sh until now

Imo anyone who wants to learn doesn’t stay a beginner for long. Those people will find Arch/Endeavour naturally without prompting.
Real beginners are those who don’t want to learn anything beyond the basics and those are the people I mean when I talk about beginners.

I’d not recommend Endeavour. It’s just a preconfigured Arch, which is great if you want Arch but not great for users not used to dealing with Arch.
