I'm also using Traccar. Found this yesterday and was going to give it a try. It's called Dawarich.

Surprised nobody mentioned Yakuake. Just discovered it's just for kde. Been using it for years. It hides at the top of my screen and slides down when the cursor hits the top. Full desktop when not used and can access it no matter which app I'm using.

Because even if an attacker could gain access even as root he cannot modify system files. This is why immutable OS distros are called immutable.

 

Does anyone know of a hosting service that offers Silverblue as a possible choice for OS?

It seems to me that for a server running only docker services the greatly reduced attack surface of an immutable distro presents a definitive advantage.

This runs a combination of both. Been using this for years and works like magic

Not for myself but a client who was running a game server. He wanted to tweak the number of ticks/second that the kernel interacted with CPU. Didn't even know that this was a parameter and after a few attempts, according to him, never went on that server myself, made a huge difference and he claimed having grabbed a good part of the market because of that.

After that familiarized myself more with the stuff in there. But that was a good while ago, before most of you guys were born.

IMO best newsletter for self hosting. Lots of stuff and updates on updates. Very good.

Second Zabbix. Been using it for years and it just works.

Tried various smartwatches and the problems always came down to one thing: battery.

Some of the watches batteries last a few days or a week but the screen remains dark and to see time you have to touch the screen our flip your wrist which gets on my nerves.

Now wearing a regular watch and each time I look at the time I'm in awe of the miracle of seeing the time displayed clearly.

When they come up with a watch that can keep the screen lit for at least a week without recharge I'll reconsider...

Started with Mandrake a long time ago and when it went away turned to Ubuntu and have stuck with it ever since. Surprised no one mentioned LTS (long time support) which I think is 5 years. This means for servers you don't have to worry about frequent upgrades (think fedora) and for desktops my setup stays stable for a good while.

I try other disros in VMs just to try sexier stuff but for production stick to Ubuntu.

I often see wireguard and adguard or pihole mentioned. There's a service that provides a combination of wireguard and pihole in 1 docker compose file and has a web interface for wireguard clients (wgeasy) called wirehole. Been using our for 2 years or so, very happy with it.

In my opinion the most elegant solution for an ad blocking VPN.

Why not try docker rootless? Been using it for 2 years and does everything docker does.

Agree Magicearth not so accurate on traffic info. But my biggest problem with Google is that it focuses so much on commercial info that takes most of the map's real estate (shops, stores, malls, etc) ,which it's not usually what I'm looking for, that it causes some kind of allergic reaction.

Magic is great, better than Google, for navigation and clarity in directions and graphically much more appropriate to driving.
