OsmAnd is good if you know where you're going, since you won't get e.g. ratings on cafes or something like that, there is less algorithmic magic going on. But i for myself love the details that OSM brings and also like that it's offline, just like thise tomtom navigation devices in the old days only using gps and therefor not relying on mobile data.
They did this for a while now in Trackmania. It is easy to implement there tbh (big boards in the stadium) but they should still rot in hell like anyone else trying to further enshittificate the web.
I'm by no means a security expert, but I encrypt all my drives with LUKS on ext4 (or btrfs with the system drive on Fedora). I have a similar use case to yours, so i would be interested in your disaster plan as you call it.
Last year i built my third gaming rig and have always been using full AMD setups. This time i have gone with a 5800X CPU and a RX 6700XT GPU. I'm also running full time linux (fedora) and i can't remember the last time i booted windows. Have played about 10-20 games in the last year, from indie to triple A, 90% of the time were buttery smooth experiences.
But back to your question. The 5800X serves me well, you could also consider the 3D variant. But then again, consider if you really want to invest in an "old" platform by now. You won't get PCIe 5 and DDR5.
Those examples you listed are not really modern imo. I'm not an UI/UX expert though.
I used Hugo to build my personal website. You can also easily build blogs with it. The difference to the usual approach is that you "code" the website in markdown which makes it super easy. Hugo then generates the html and css for you, which gets statically hosted. Check out the showcases and themes if you're interested. I used a theme called papermod, it's pretty common.
I have set the list of people following me and the ones i follow on private now. This seems to be the only useful thing they could scrape. Why would i care if they can see what music i listen to? It's not like they can see my personal info and link that or is it?
In my case i masked the service because like i said, inside the lxc container there is no networking to do, it's done on the host (proxmox). Note that disabling the service in my case was not enough since it could be invoked by other services, and then you would have to wait again.
See this for further info and maybe arguments why you shouldn't do it.
You can use systemd-analyze blame if you want raw numbers:
This command prints a list of all running units, ordered by the time they took to initialize. This information may be used to optimize boot-up times.
Good way to see if your systemd also waits 2 minutes for a network connection which already exists but it can't see it because systemd doesn't do the networking (lxc containers on proxmox in my case) lol.
That's right, if RPGs had gamestops :D
