You definitely use a firewall, but there’s no need for NAT in almost all cases with ipv6. But even with a firewall, p2p becomes easier even if you still have to do firewall hole punching

I’ve setup okular signing and it worked, but I believe it was with a mime certificate tied to my email (and not pgp keys). If you want I can try to figure out exactly what I did to make it work.

Briefly off the top of my head, I believe it was

1. Getting a mime certificate for my email from an authority that provides them. There’s one Italian company that will do this for any email for free.
2. Converting the mime certificate to some other format
3. Importing the certificate to Thunderbird’s (or maybe it was Firefox’s) certificate store (and as a sidequest setting up Thunderbird to sign email with that certificate
4. Telling Okular to use the Thunderbird/Firefox certificate store as the place to find certificates

I can’t remember if there was a way to do this with pgp certificates easily

From looking at the github, I think you don’t need to/want to host this publicly. It doesn’t automatically get and store your information. It’s more a tool for visualizing and cross referencing your takeout/exported data from a variety of tech platforms. It’s just developed as a web app for ease of UI/cross platform/ locally hostable.

Borg append only seems like the way to do this easily

I feel like this really depends on what hardware you have access too. What are you interested in doing?How long are you willing to wait for it to generate, and how good do you want it to be?

You can pull off like 0.5 word per second of one of the mistral models on the CPU with 32GB of RAM. The stabediffusion image models work okay with like 8-16GB of vram.

Second this router! It had the fastest CPU and antenna vs price when I last looked. I run zerotier as a VPN on it an it works great. Plenty of ram and flash for packages too.

I think pacreport --unowned-files might be able to help with that too. Showing you files that aren’t part of any installed package. Probably only does system files though, nothing in /home

I use qdirstat a lot to determine what files are eating all my space

Your ISP knows where you’re going anyway. They don’t need DNS for that. They see all the traffic.

There’s definitely software that uses parts of the windows API that games don’t touch. And doesn’t work properly on Wine. I keep a windows install around just for using an analysis software for some lab equipment that refuses to start in wine.

Things like CAD software are also a struggle, though the latest wine seems to have resolved a number of graphics issues with getting PTC Creo to properly use the nvapi and nvidia graphics drivers through wine.

While wine is amazing, plenty of things don’t work with it. Usually you don’t need them, but if you do, you do

The symptoms you describe are exactly what happens to my machine when it runs out of memory and then starts swapping really hard. This is easy to check by seeing if disk io also spikes when it happens, and if memory usage is high

On linux and Mac there’s also https://vorta.borgbase.com/ which is pretty good

Your filter rule association is set to ‘rule’. What is that associated rule, and do things work if you change it to ‘pass’?

Instead of connecting with a web browser, can you try using curl or telnet just to check if you’re getting through at the TCP/IP connection level?

I thought I saw that Mac has the same CUPS print service/printer manager that Linux uses? In fact it seems like apple developed it. I think that helps enormously with standardizing printer configs. https://www.cups.org/doc/admin.html

For gaming like that (remote over the network), I’d recommend sunshine and moonlight. They work great if your network can handle the upload
