  • I would get a cheap MinisForum/Beelink mini-pc with an i5 and install Yunohost, or Casaos, or Cosmos or something like that, really easy to install, use and maintain.

    To access the PC, just add a Wireguard server to your mini-pc server, set wireguard client on the PC, AND and you’re ready.

    I got this one for around US$360 and added a SATA 4TB SSD to it, running all my services out of it and have yet to see it hit 50W.

  • I’m sorry, I should have been clearer. Yes, I meant for streaming. I also have all my favorite music downloaded and play them locally (sort of, self-hosted from my home server). But way back when I was part of the Spotify crowd I came across great songs I didn’t know about, so streaming is a great way to find those hidden jewels. I just don’t want to have any of those apps trying to mine a boatload of data constantly from my devices.















  • Where I work,~2,000 employees and contractors, I’m almost certain I’m the one person using Linux (Fedora) and refusing to use Windows (so they deployed a cloud Windows 365 instance for me to have access to the in-house platform).

    I’m blessed to hold a position for which the company would have a really hard time replacing me, I think that’s why they haven’t booted me (chances are they will at some point, but I don’t care anymore).

    It still blows my mind how the IT team tries to justify being locked into Microsoft, and then telling me I could potentially become a point of vulnerability, when my system is easily the most secure in the whole company and my habits make for little to no possibility of ever exposing anything outside of the company.
