If you use planty of extensions, may be the best thing to wait
I use just 3 extensions and none of them is critical, so I updated and in the respective metadata.json file I changed from version 45 to version 46. All of them worked just fine
I think it's possible to run everything in the same RPi 3b, however I think it will not be smooth, cause there is only 1GB of ram available...
I think the best is one device for each service, however I know that sometime we can't afford that, so I think you need at least 1 device for Pi-Hole and Octoprint, and another to the Home Assistant
Yes, you can setup a DNS server to redirect these requisitions to the servers. However you'll have to make sure that every single device is using the DNS server you configured.
You can also configure avahi (on linux) or other zeroconf (you must find out what zeroconf each other system have, cause I don't know) to recognize local hostnames as mDNS
I use avahi to discover my octopi.local in my network and it works like a charm
The real problem with decriminalization of drugs is the lack of support for those who are using drugs.
Drugs become an avoidance coping mechanism for many of the users. If their lives sucks, they'll keep doing drugs. Some of them keep using drugs because it's also very addictive.
If you really wanna implement a decriminalization of drugs, you must also implement health care and social security care, probably for free. It's necessary that people have access to psychologists, social services, medics and job opportunities.
As the psychologist Bruce Alexander said: The opposite of addiction is not sobriety, it's connection.
what are the disadvantages of using a shared home (yes with a shared profile, I still want to access my Steam library from Arch if I want that)
Well, a disavantage I can think of is that if your apps are in different versions, it may be messy. Also, if you share a DE between both environments, it also may become messy
Why don't you try using only one system and see what happens?
Another thing that concerns me is GRUB, usually when I’m dualbooting with Windows, the Linux distro takes care of the grub stuff, should only a single distro take care of GRUB? or I need to install “the grub package” on both? Do both distros need separate boot partitions? Or a single one for a single distro (like a main distro) will suffice?
Only one system taking care of grub, pls. Grub is already a pain, don't make it even more painful. If you're going to config grub, let PopOS handles it. Only install it after Arch and everything should be fine
If it does not recognize Arch, you may wanna enable os-prober at grub conf, but that's it
Another off topic question, my HDD is partitioned to oblivion, can I safely delete ALL partitions? Including the EFI one? I’m not on a MacBook, a typical 2014 Toshiba that’s my laptop
If you're ok with losing all the data, it's okay to wipe out everything and let the distro install itself alone
You don't actually need a NAS. You can install in an old hardware you have and it will work just fine.
However things may become short in space quickly, cause video needs a lot of storage. So if you want to host many video files, I would recommend at least high capacity HDs. A NAS would be the perfect setting, but not always we can do perfect settings.
What I suggest however, is to be sure that your network settings (router, mainly) support streaming, cause if your router sucks, you'll not only become frustrated soon with the streaming, but all your connection with internet in general may become degraded.
Also, you can start small, with a small server with internet HD, and then adjust and implement NAS in the future. It's an easy task.
Will you let the fortune tell if your network is safe or not?
Why don't configure your nftables, iptables, UFW, firewalld or whatever to be redundant? It's not like it consumes much more resources from your system
Maybe there is an exploit to your router that enables the hacker to access your full network. Maybe there is a glitch in your router that bypass the NAT. Maybe someone can access other devices from another source rather than the router connection (for example, it connects properly into the service, but this service has a flaw that allow full control over your network).
If a device is connect to the internet, it is somehow vulnerable. The safest machine is that one disconnected from the internet and preferably turned off.
I don't know... I guess in mailing lists and pages like RSS feed from main enterprises like SuSE, Red Hat and Canonical
