Tailscale is but since you already tried them, maybe headscale that's supposed to be the self hosted version of Tailscale that someone wrote, so you have better odds at less latency! https://headscale.net/

Zerotier? Not sure -https://www.zerotier.com/ can speak more to this.

If behind CGNAT and forwarding is not an option, Headscale, Tailscale or ZeroTier may be an option. I use Tailscale and it have ZERO forwarding on and can access anything on my network when connected through it. Think of these as Wireguard on Steroids. :)

As Another Proxmox user - I've been doing well with it. I use these scripts for the LXC's which has been fantastic:

https://tteck.github.io/Proxmox/

I also can log into it from the web as it's secured by Authentik, SSO OIDC login when Away from home and need to manage it. Rare! But the option is there! :)

YAY!!! FINALLY! From the site:

"KWin’s “Active screen follows mouse” setting is now gone; now the active screen is always the one with the cursor on it, or the last one that was tapped with a touchscreen. This turns out to be much simpler and it’s what we think most people wanted anyway, hopefully alleviating complaints about OSDs and new windows opening on unexpected screens"

That was one of my most annoying issues, but learned to work around it. But on the rare occasion where I end up clicking and I don't realize that my mouse was on the the other screen, this will be a huge improvement. (especially when I have my Always on top windows for my job)

Mine are where they are stationed:

Front Door Lamp, Patio Door Lamp, Desk Lamp and Bedroom Lamp. We don't have many obviously:)

So, left of couch as you look at it is next to front door so light there, other side, by patio, you guessed it patio light. And the rest are pretty much bland like that.

The older IDE drives with the 5.25" platters and smaller ones make great wind chimes. The laptop ones are a bit .ore fragile due to thinner material. Years ago, we used to do this with a few of them.

If the app supports SSO and allows user creation, then it's just a matter of passing the user claims such as username or email which the app expects from your provider.

I use Authentik as my solution, which uses a GUI for user management and supports all major SSO options, from MFA, to OIDC, SAML, LDAP and more.

Xpipe https://xpipe.io/ is an alternative it runs and stores your data locally on your machine and not web based. I've been playing with that a bit, it does auto discover Containerized apps and you can sort of exec into them to run commands and also browse the directories of your containerized apps with a simple click in a File type GUI. It uses your OS's default Terminal application so it won't bring any extra with you so it's more native to your OS.

I've been a Konsole user on KDE for a few years now and it's pretty much what I've been used to. Trying out Xpipe now and Termius about a year ago, I can say that Xpipe is stronger in it's ability to interface with my containerized apps (Docker), but lacks the polish that Termius has visually. They both get the job done, but at the end of the day, I still reflexively just hit my Ctrl+Alt+T key combo to log into my machines.

Then, for a whole different take, SSWifty! https://github.com/nirui/sshwifty - Instead of launching an app, deploy this on your server, and then use your browser's session to securely access your sites.

I got lost with setting up a nice inbox downloader to store all my emails on a HDD attached to my RPI4, but haven't quite mastered the SMTP server part or found the right software to run on it. It's currently powered off waiting for a reflash of the SD Card so I can try again. The end goal for mine is to set up fetchmail and have it grab from my inboxes then imap capabilities so I can read it in Thunderbird. (Don't talk to me about webmail, I know it's the way but I'm older than Star Wars (Original one) and am stuck in my ways. Now get off of my lawn!

Seriously though, I have tinkered with it before as an AdguardHome Server, but somehow, my latency increased so I dropped that. Most of it's life was spent hosting Home Assistant on it until I moved that to the umm...more controversial Proxmox VM method. I'm also on the fence about setting up the Raspberry Pi Nextcloud on it. (Maybe).

Here is a good resource for 36 different things you could possibly do with yours.

Anytype is amazing, but when they give you these super long passkeys to decrpyt? That makes having to either memorize the something like 12 short words, and keep them in the exact order they tell you, you sort of have to put them in a notebook (ironically), password manager or whatever you choose to store it.

It needs to be self hosted - no docker containers that I can find.

Based on this, it's not yet available. I use Joplin server for my stuff and have been wanting to move away to a web based platform as I tend to reinstall my OS every few months and like to be able to dial in my self hosted instance and reference for what I need.

For a totally different experience, and if you ever want to spin up a distro in a "container" there's BlendOS https://blendos.co/

I'm an Arch user so I'm sort of staying where I am but am always open to ideas, so I tried Blend a while back. As said on this page for the distro: https://itsfoss.com/immutable-linux-distros/

"In other words, you can install any package on the distro (RPM, DEB, etc.) while getting the immutability and update reliability as one would expect."

That pretty much describes it and I recall, it did well. I also tried this one which is touted to be AI enhanced and feels more like they are making good progress: https://www.makululinux.com https://www.linuxinsider.com/story/new-makululinux-release-brings-ai-to-the-max-177104.html

To get the AI to the max, you need to pay a fee, but It's all in the name of supporting development.

I really enjoyed Solus Linux but the last I checked, it didn't support something I need for my job. So, I do use Arch, but was completely smitten and impressed with their impressive boot speed. From pushing POST screen to desktop, it was something like 5 seconds. With Arch, after POST, maybe 10-15 seconds.

With their recent drama, it's been a bit hard to see them struggle. They just did release a fresh build I read online, so they are still alive. :)

I live in a suburb of Portland and in an apartment. Our management is nice enough to provide a covered space (a luxury!) for a single car. I got to thinking about EV's and if all of a sudden everyone here was driving them, there would be no place to charge them, but then why not place a charger in front of each parking space? Problem solved. Then, the managers would probably assess an additional fee on top of the already high rents for monthly charging privileges.

Living in this area does have it's advantages, you can drive just a short distance to the local library and hit up the chargers, there, or go to the stores and always find an open charger or two

I get and will readily admit that most cities don't have this so I appreciate the concern over EV charging stations. I don't know much about them as I drive a dinosaur powered Honda so it's not yet in my radar. :)

Several years back, I was 100% Windows based, and only knew Linux from the web hosting scene and running VPS Systems. I landed my current job which uses 100% Linux based OS's on their customer's equipment and software, Since then, I've gained a mountain of knowledge in the Linux admin and user space to feel comfortable enough to use it full time 100% in my household and administer it.

I think you would be surprised to see Linux more widespread out there, for example, a Raspberry Pi running Raspbian out in the wild mid reboot on signage or other displays, or being part of the brain boxes in industrial machinery. Then of course, - if you have an Android phone - well...that's a form of Linux as well. :)

Since you didn't include a link to the source for your recommendation:

I've been on Proxmox for 6 or so months with very few issues and have found it to work well in my instance, I do appreciate seeing another alternative and learning about it too! I very specifically like Proxmox as it gives me an actual IP on my router's subnet for my machines such as Home Assistant. So instead of the 192.168.122.1 it rolls a nice 192.168.1.X/24 IP which fits my range which makes it easier for me to direct my outside traffic to it. Does this also do this? Based on your screenshots, maybe not, IDK.

You can also mirror your Android screen via Scrcpy https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy

Open Aegis, go to settings and then disable screen security. (Enabling screen security helps protect against and malicious screen capturing by malware)

From there, it will show your Aegis screen on your PC. It requires ADB access so it depends on if you have that installed or can install it. But the link can get you through that part. :)

So I ran nomodeset during reboot (systemd-boot) and it booted with no errors, BUT - dual screens became one at something like 800x600 res if that and I couldn't change that (KDE Desktop on Arch). So, I at least know it boots okay, just not where I want it to.

Good project for this weekend. I depend on my system to work at home, so can't do much during the week. What's fun is I can boot this all day long in a KVM machine on the very same machine which doesn't boot it, but I know it's a different environment.

I'll probably reset my BIOS as well just to start fresh on that end. And then go from there, when it hit my system a few months ago or whenever it was, I let it reboot for about an hour and it eventually gave me my desktop.
