Is the joke that it is not a good idea or is there more to it?

Google already has their own DRM for other play store stuff, the cost to also add it to watch faces probably wouldn't be that much.

If it is local network stuff you could see if you can allow it just network connection but no internet. I'm not sure how you could do that though.

As I understand, early ryzen processors are generally more buggy. I run 5800x on my desktop and a 5600(x?) in my server. You could try a newer ryzen and see if it works. I would recommend shopping around for a decent warranty.

I have seen that too. I didn't find anything but will definitely be keeping an eye on this post.

Njal.la. They buy the domain for you and let you control it. They also don't give whois information by default.

I have had a similar issue I think. Try killing and removing the containers (docker kill and docker RM) and then start it. Iirc that was what fixed it for me.

Basically all new phones have that.

I do Debian on my server. I use openSUSE tumbleweed on the desktop but I could see leap being good for a server. YAST is pretty great .

I agree that the "I have nothing to hide" argument is wrong, but could you not use the word normies? I think when people who visit this community see stuff like that it seems kinda gatekeepy even if that isn't the intent.

Wow, if only I saw this last night. I ended up installing lxqt and updating from there.

You absolutely can. I set up my Debian server to automatically stay updated and restart regularly and don't have to touch it if I don't want to. Yesterday, air had to spend like 30 min getting kde 6 setup on tumbleweed because it's a roll in ng distro. The nice thing about linux is it allows you to make trade offs depending on what your priorities are.

Turn on your browser history for a while then use that.

Still waiting on tumbleweed :(

If your computer is reasonably fast (I have managed this on a dual core, but it did have 16G ram), you can run windows in a virtual machine and use whatever software you want. You could also try wine, though I would pirate it first to see if it works if you want to do that. Virt-manager is a good tool for virtual machines, but you may want to try virtualbox as it is more beginner friendly.

Short answer VPN no, cloud yes. That is, if the VPN server is on your network and you are not simply forwarding ports to an external VPN. If your choices are VPN vs cloud, I would recommend cloud as it is satisfying to be able to type in a URL and go to your site instead of having to go through VPN weirdness. If you keep sensitive data on your server then a VPN is definitely better (again, the local kind). I personally just forward 80 and 443 and use nginx to control what domains everything is on.

Not who you're replying to but here are some answers:

1. For internet accessibility there will be things to consider. Do you want non-techy friends or family on it? If so you may need to port forward or use a vps. Some ISPs don't allow port forwarding, but there are a million solutions to this. Otherwise you can use a VPN to connect to your network and have access to your server that way.
2. Old laptops are great for hosting. They are typically more power efficient than desktops, although the expansion options aren't great if you don't like jank.
3. Not sure.
4. Yes and kinda. It is super light unless you're running it on really old stuff. It is easy once you learn. I recommend docker compose to keep everything in a single config file. You can use watchtower to keep things automatically updated.
5. I like Debian. I too use a rolling distro on my desktop, and some people do like rolling distros for servers. The idea of stable release distros like Debian are that they are consistant and you don't have to worry about updates breaking things. The idea of rolling distros on a server is that you will only ever have to deal with small updates rather than giant ones that may break everything (like between Debian versions). I would not recommend manjaro on a server, or at all really. They have a habit of holding back packages for no real reason and causing dependancie issues. If you like rolling I would try Tumbleweed or Arch with Archinstall. There is also Endeavor OS which is basically easier Arch.
6. Letsencrypt is for https certificates. You can use self signed certificates, meaning they are made by your computer rather than letsencrypt's servers, but you will get warnings in your browser and app interfaces for your services may not work. They are just as secure for personal use. Don't do http on the internet. That is bad. You know the VPN ads that say hackers can steal all your bank passwords if you don't buy their VPN, well that is not true because your bank uses https. If you access your services through http over the internet, someone will get your password eventually. Do whatever you want on home network though.

I don't really want to try to get that to work. I wonder how hard it would be to create my own webui using gpt4all's Python package.

I know the gpt4all models run fine on my desktop with 8gig vram. It does use a decent chunk of my normal ram though. Could the gpt4all models work on huggingface or do they use different formats? Sorry if I am completely misunderstanding huggingface, I haven't heard of it until now.

Or you can use the old trick of hiding a small computer in a fake charger and leaving it plugged in at a nearby business that you don't like.
