I've got a 12TB Seagate desktop expansion which contains a Seagate ironwolf drive. According to the link you shared, I'll better look for a backup drive asap.
Edit: the ones in the backblaze reference are all exos models, but i still have no profounf trust in Seagate.
What happens when the daemon is stopped depends on the implementation of your drivers. I have driver for my mainboard fans that is not in the mainline linux kernel but maintained by a single guy that just recently added the functionality to give back the control to the motherboard (bios settings).
Long story short: if you disable coolercontrol and notice that your fans don't change their speed when the temperature rises / falls, or act like they did from the bios settings, reboot your system.
It's true that you shouldn't open ports to the internet. If you still want your services to be accessible from outside the local network you can install a wireguard server on your thin client that has access to the services you want. And if you really want to harden it you can restrict wireguard clients from ssh and other admin things.
You will need to open one port on the router to your wireguard server though. Wireguard is UDP though and ignores packages without an established connection, so attackers will not even know there is an open port on your router.
Edit: tailscale and zerotier are good external solutions to this as well without needing to open a port at all.
Since there is no screenshot in the repo i thought i'd drop this here. You technically don't even need to install the GUI app (but you can) since the daemon starts a webserver on localhost:11987 which looks like this:
Yeah you're right. I didn't care that much since i was ready to be surprised as it seemed way simpler than the other options to install. You don't even need a GUI Application, since the daemon also starts a webserver on localhost:11987 which looks like this:
Fedora uses Wayland by default at least and it's really smooth, and it has gotten much better in the last two years or so. It also is a rolling release, which means always the newest software and latest kernel, which further improves wayland performance.
Canonical has made some questionable choices for Ubuntu in the last years like pushing the users to use snaps (which are shot) or advertisements in the terminal. But then again you can always use Debian in the first place i guess.
They are develeoping it, but it's slow because there are not as many people contributing as they would need to i think.
Anyways, if you want a more recent version, they are preparing an App store launch. One of the developers publishes more recent builds on his fork, see this comment.
