But yes, Im pretty sure my little server I use explicitly for jellyfin will be fine

I’m not sure why you wouldn’t use Linux for that. You can make some arguments against Linux on the desktop (although I don’t agree) but Linux as a server has been clearly superior for a long time.

It’s like a page of high-school level ranting gibberish. I suppose that is technically a “platform” but not what people are typically thinking of.

Perplexity seems to work but I don’t like the idea of AI giving me “facts” since they are mostly based on other AI posts

It helps that it gives actual sources, so you can verify them. But yeah, not helpful if all of the sources end up being AI posts.

You can instead have elections on the weekend, which gives more opportunity to vote without requiring a public holiday. Nobody would choose Tuesday if they were designing the system today.

And yes, early and mail voting should be universally implemented as well.

however the issue I run into is if I lose internet access at home, none of my services are able to function as they can no longer reach the management interface.

Do the services stop working immediately, or only after restarting the netbird client(s)? I’ve found headscale/tailscale nodes will continue to communicate with each other with the internet down, but restarting the tailscale client will break things (which makes sense of course).

If netbird has an equivalent to MagicDNS that could cause issues after a while of losing connectivity (since the DNS will be hosted on the VPS).

What GPU you are running? If it’s not a recent AMD gpu, that might be the cause. Relatively recent Mesa and kernel would be a good idea too. The flatpak situation could complicate that too, as others have mentioned.

Monitors/displays can sometimes be temperamental too, and require toggling on/off, switching VTs back and forth, etc.

Beyond that, I’d try installing standard Steam if possible.

What additional configuration are you referring to?

Looking here, you might not need it anymore: https://zamundaaa.github.io/wayland/2024/05/11/more-hdr-and-color.html

But make sure gamescope is a recent version.

It’s just more visible since downvotes and upvotes are shown separately. On the old site, that hasn’t been the case for years.

End of an era if true. I certainly won’t be buying a Xiaomi phone again if so.

Which manufacturers currently support bootloader unlocking?

EDIT: I’ll answer my own question and include Motorola, although the custom rom scene looks a bit sparse.

Silver linings, but hopefully this pushes us further away from fossil fuel dependence and toward renewable energy, EVs, and public/active transport. The previous oil crises had people downsize from their absurdly large cars too.
