Sure but I rather not have the SSH port open to the world, it just makes it harder for attackers to get in this way. Besides I use the VPN for more things, some self-hosted services I don't want accessible by the whole world.

I have a VPS that runs the main proxy which I can always access via a console on the website of the company I'm renting it from (Hetzner). The other machines run locally in my home so I can just plug in a cable if need be.

Alpine Linux. I started using it to dogfood my packages I was maintaining for postmarketOS but I've come to really like it. It does help that I can just fix packaging problems (or just missing packages entirely) myself.

Previously I used Gentoo which I still have a place in my heart for. If I'd ever move to anything else it would probably be Gentoo again.

Personally I made sure SSH is only accessible when connected through a VPN setup for that purpose. As in, that same machine hosts a Wireguard setup (through Tailscale) and you need to connect to that first before SSH is available. And then SSH also only accepts key-based authentication. I don't think I need more than that?

Well, could you link it? What about the location makes it obvious that they didn't plate unmovable concrete barriers?

Don't recommend that glibc Alpine image please. You can't just have 2 libc's and expect everything to just work, it's just asking for problems. Either deal with Musl or choose a different distro.

Why don't you want Musl?

Dutch people use it (although I doubt it's an official word), meaning something like "that's what you get" or "oh well".

KDE Plasma also has this through kio-gdrive, it works amazingly well. I'm glad the various Linux platforms have solved that problem at least.

Pine64 is known for very shoddy software support and almost none of their devices have every bit of the hardware working on release, if any. A missing wifi driver is too be expected with them, not an exception.

You're clearly new to Pine64 😉

Honestly, why did you expect anything different?

I hope AVIF gets a different fate. Problem is mostly that not every app opens it. I made my screenshots in AVIF for a while but had to stop doing it because not everybody could open the images properly...

EDIT: I wonder if Microsoft are making anti-Linux accounts to try and hamper Linux.

Lol. No, they're not. Really.

What kind of conspiracy theory is that, Microsoft really doesn't feel threatened by Linux.

Nothing in Plasma Bigscreen is specific to ARM. You just got to find a distribution that ships it for x86 or compile it yourself.

But tbf I wouldn't recommend Plasma Bigscreen, it currently has no developers and is missing a lot of polishing and general apps.

I use VSCodium in Distrobox daily on Alpine Linux, and it works flawlessly. I don't experience the problem you encounter but I use KDE Plasma which I suppose handles it differently.

I am however looking into slowly moving over to KDE's Kate for development, my laptop really doesn't like opening multiple chrome instances for the various instances of VSCodium and then also an Android emulator on top of that.

The instance needs to have https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ansible/pull/114 applied, it might not be in the version you are running yet.

For some people it's definitely usable as a daily driver but not for me yet. I for one require some Android apps and Waydroid isn't far enough yet, but I also need good suspend/battery saving which isn't there yet on this particular device.

I found out in the meantime. You can find communities from Lemmy on Mastodon using the @communityname@server pattern. So @kde@lemmy.kde.social will find this community. On Mastodon it'll appear as a user boosting every post (both top post and comments) and that way you can find individual comments.

It isn't great, the UX is clearly different and not made for each other, but it works and you can favourite or boost individual posts with it.
