Tbh depending on your threat model you might be ok with just a regular os, flatpak sandboxing and an occasional vm. For example I have VMs for my dev projects, or for tools that I use seldomly but doesn’t trust like android tools. If I need I pass usb in (like if I want to flash phone with the android tools…) You will be much less limited but still have decent protection and those vms start fast. I have Fedora host with Fedora VMs and they start in like 10 seconds.

I know what you meant but its kinda funny to say “I want to mess with an immutable distro” 😀

Yeah that name would suck 😀 As I wrote in previous answer, I really like Plutonium just like that.

Aha, I get it. And I like that its kinda nerdy. I dont think majority of the people will get it though. Just Plutonium would be fine, sounds actually real good and I think searching for plutonium os should be distinct enough (given the fact plutonium is not an element of everyday life). However if you still insist on the shorthand, what I saw people do, have a paragraph explaining what the shortcut means and how to call the os. Something like “the p-239 stands for plutonium and that is what we call the os - Plutonium” or variant of that. Maybe have it on the homepage even as a part of some baner or simly as second or third element under header. And it can also link to the full story (that it was a codename at first…)

Why the name? I find distros with these names that are hard to say annoying to speak about, so I would suggest better name. Something short, catchy and easy to say for people with different languages. But don’t make it too general either so that it is also easy to search for.

The minimums btw doesn’t apply if you registered through the trueNAS partnership

Me too. Have the plan from trueNAS partnership and pay less than 5 bucks a month

In current climate? I’d say almost the opposite, get 16 gigz of RAM and only add more if you really need it or if it gets cheaper. You can add ram any time, it’s the beauty of a desktop pc builds.

I think we will see. If it’s as good as it sounds there will soon be good apps to use it. It would be funny though how we’d “return” to basically rss. Everything runs in cycles I guess 😀

Yeah, that post was amazing honestly. I had no idea about atproto before, now I feel like this is the way and I will definitely try it.

You can use tailscale + gluetun docker containers to use your favorite commercial vpn as an exit node on the same machine. https://github.com/alexmaisa/tailscale-vpn-exitnode

Or you need to update iptables of you don’t use docker and have e. g. wireguard out as an exit node. Or if you have vpn out on your router, and tailscale on the home network, you just use it as exit node.

Do you use tailscale as an exit node? What device are you using to access the home network when you are away? What are your speeds on that device without tailscale (but still away)?

Or did you mean that the speed drop happens for the server, not for the connected device? So when you are connected through tailscale the server would be unable to e.g. download anything fast?

Dont waste 5k on an ai computer. Of you want new one, buy for 2k at most. Ai will get optimized more and more. Now we have MoE with which we can run things at home we couldn’t even dream about. The companies loose money fast, there will be massive optimization sooner or later.

Are you using any other networking sw?

How are you running tailscale at home? Docker? Or natively?

Ye that’s the one. I agree with you, and I am the first case, audiobooks are the main thing for me 😊

Exactly the same for me. Fedora is goat.

Yeah its not that bad, was an overexageration.

Exactly this!

If the distros didn’t matter nobody would have strong preference. Instead there are Distro wars raging for years now, with plenty of casualties.

For me the preference came from reliability. I tried many distros and they never worked well. They either had bugs or didn’t work the way I wanted to. When I finally found what suits me, you can be damn sure I will tell everyone who listens that its the best distro on the whole planet… FOR ME. But I will gladly recommend it as well 😊

I think the combo hardware + kind of person can create many unique preferences… almost distro-count amounts of preferences 😀
