I mean the only interesting data sent is the mac address, android phones spoofs that by default, using a separate mac adress for every network and on a debian based distro you can use https://packages.debian.org/stable/net/macchanger if you wanna spoof it when using your computer in the networks owned by others.
sending personal data to someone else’s computer.
I think this is spot on. I think it’s exciting with LLMs but I’m not gonna give the huge corporations my data, nor anyone else for that matter.
I’ll have a look! Cheers!
The simple solution is to use another cloud, such as proton drive mentioned below.
Another more technical solution is to setup a vpn at home and use vpn + smb to share files with your phones, this one fails if your computer isn’t always online at home or if your internet provider runs CGNAT.
Your computer could be replaced with a selfhosted solution as nextcloud running on separate hardware, but now we’re firmly in selfhosting land.
The VPN home could be replaced with a VPS that both your home network and mobile devices connect to as a CGNAT workaround.
The KISS (Keep it simple, stupid) principle says that getting another cloud storage is the way to go. If you truly wanna own your cloud then a trip to selfhost land it is.
If you start missing the classic taskbar and startmenu it is easily available in GNOME too:
Startmenu: ArcMenu
Taskbar: Dash to Panel
App Indicator: AppIndicator and KStatusNotifierItem Support
portainer.io with debian gives you a web UI if that’s the only thing stopping you.
There’s a Community Edition (CE) here: https://www.portainer.io/install
I think Mediasonic still makes 8 bay DAS units, they’re becoming a lot rarer.
I would probably start looking at NAS units if I were you, or buy a bigger tower case and fit the disks internally instead.
With that budget I would look at home routers that you can run openwrt on: https://openwrt.org/toh/start?toh.filter.supportedcurrentrel=22.03|23.05
Does your server has an empty pcie slot? If so I would go for an ethernet pcie card instead of usb-c adapter.
Or, more expensive, go for a qotom router and migrate opnsense to it.
f.e. something like this https://teklager.se/en/products/routers/tlsense-J6412-aesni-router
I use cockpit and my phone to start my virtual fedora, which has pcie passthrough on gpu and a usb controller.

As part of the transition of perpetual licensing to new subscription offerings, the VMware vSphere Hypervisor (Free Edition) has been marked as EOGA (End of General Availability). At this time, there is not an equivalent replacement product available.
For further details regarding the affected products and this change, we encourage you to review the following blog post: https://blogs.vmware.com/cloud-foundation/2024/01/22/vmware-end-of-availability-of-perpetual-licensing-and-saas-services/
Then it sounds like you can either wait for nvidia to fix their buggy drivers (have you tried the beta drivers too?) or sell your 2060 fe and buy an amd gpu that will play much nicer with kde wayland.

Kudos! Thanks a lot! gnome-terminal reverted to ctrl+shift+v and shift+ins and middle-click works as expected!
Muscle memory!
As soon as I work in a terminal I use shift+ins instinctively, most programs still send the copy to both buffers if they have a “copy” button/function but some now only send to primary and you get some old text selection thrown into your terminal instead of the command the program helpfully copied for you.
Are you calling me old? :(
I’ve tried finding a manager for this, Pano allows me to sync primary to selection but not selection to primary but I haven’t found one that works the other way around. I’m currently running Fedora 38 with Gnome 44.
While the shift+ins helps with pasting the wrong stuff it would be even better if I could get middle-click to sync up too.
So the blog has these points listed:
Wayland’s client API is gimped. Understandably, any piece of software has limits on its scope. I’m not criticizing that, but the limit on the scope of the Wayland ecosystem is way too small.
Wayland’s lack of feature parity with Xorg cripples it. This brief section is now outdated and much to my surprise, the tearing protocol was actually merged thanks to Valve pushing hard for it. The text is left here for historical reasons.
Wayland’s render loop design is ridiculous. If you build a client from ground up specifically with Wayland in mind, sure this is easy. But many applications are cross platform and internally driven.
There’s nothing wrong with an application managing how it should render internally. It’s a natural choice for any program that operates in a cross-platform manner.
Wayland’s Mesa implementations are leagues behind Xorg’s. Both the EGL and Vulkan Mesa implementations are, quite frankly, bugged and lacking when compared to their Xorg DRI3 counterparts.
In EGL’s case, the spec isn’t violated, but swap intervals greater than 1 are completely broken.
Vulkan is more dire. The indefinite blocking behavior outright violates the Vulkan spec. Giving a timeout in AcquireImage does nothing in practice because the blocking is done in PresentQueue. Only two presentation modes on Wayland actually work: fifo (well this works by breaking the spec) and mailbox.
Wayland itself has bad core decisions. The big and obvious mistake to point out is fractional scaling. Update: The fractional scale protocol has been merged, and it’s definitely a step forward.
Was it really worth it? We were told all along that Xorg is so bad and terrible that it needed to be started from scratch but at this point people need to be looking in the mirror and asking questions. If that 14 years of effort was instead focused onto solely improving Xorg, what would the result be? Surely, much more tangible results would have been gained at the end of the day.
I’m not qualified to discuss render loop design or mesa implementations, but it seems 2/5 points has been rendered obsolete in the last 18 months. Progress! :)
