My kneejerk response to this was negative. "Oh, another distro spinoff". But I read the article and the front page of their site. It feels to me it's trying to be to Fedora what Mint is to Ubuntu. And I hear good things about Mint.
While I take issue with both base distros (Ubuntu, Fedora). I'm also of the opinion that Fedora is better, relatively speaking. So, maybe this has more of a place than I initially thought.
For those like myself who hadn't heard of GoToSocial and are curious what it is but don't want to watch a video, it is as you might guess an ActivityPub based microblogging platform. With a focus on smaller instances capable of running on low end hardware. According to their site, anyway. https://gotosocial.org/
It's a novel idea. But despite the article's claims this is not a practical alternative to a laptop in planes, coffee shops, etc. Nor is a minipc inherently more serviceable than a laptop as others have pointed out.
For traveling, if it's a longer trip, it almost makes sense to me as you'd have it set up for a while. Though I'd do a mini ITX system. The ones with external power supplies and no drive bays or expansion slots are pretty small. But even then, I don't feel like this would be significantly better than a laptop. And that's a lot to buy for a niche use case.
I never bought a Switch. Thought about it, but never got around to it. I guess I'm just not the target audience.
Though now in thinking about it, I bet I can pick up a good condition used Switch on the cheap once this comes out. Maybe I'll get the first gen Switch after all!
I was running it on a VM on the home server but then any downtimes that machine had were also HA downtimes. Decided that mattered enough to run it on it's own hardware.
Maybe self host your own VPN on a VPS and connect the jellyfin server as a client as well as any other devices you want to see that jellyfin server as other clients and configure the VPN server to not override your default routing and to allow clients to see each other? In my head I don't think that would conflict with your protonVPN connection.
Your traffic would be encrypted between devices so I wouldn't say https is nessesary and thus no certs needed.
The rubs that occur to me are that I'm not sure you can do this on a free tier VPS which is the only option I see given your financial limitations. And your devices all need to be able to connect to said VPN.
My tenuous understanding from an article I read about the AT protocol but barely remember is that it can't be fully decentralized. I think you have to use bluesky for user authentication. And I think it said the hosting hardware requirements would be significant to the point where it's not very feisable. I welcome corrections/clarifications.
Point is, assuming that's reasonably correct, true decentralization isn't possible. And by it's nature as a big corporate owned site, enshittification is inevitable.
Nope. I fiddle until it does what I want. If the thing I'm working on is complex or I'm struggling with it I'll keep versions of configs. And I back up working configs via an rsync job. Which isn't a particularly robust solution but I'm content with it for my needs.
Best I can tell post blur, those posts are marked NSFW. You can choose to hide those posts. Assuming you're signed in anyway, I'm not familiar enough with that interface to tell.
My knowledge both of Fedora and Nvidia are both a bit dated. So if anyone "um actually"''s me, probably defer to them. But last I knew you want to get nvidia drivers from the rpmfusion repo. Relevant link: https://rpmfusion.org/Howto/NVIDIA.
As others have mentioned there's no need to remove flatpak.
Otherwise, sounds like you're on the right track to me.
Edit: I just read a comment about breakage with Fedora flatpaks. So perhaps prudent to remove if so.
I feel like the cost would come from the quantity of cybernetics and time to install them. So I imagine if the dog was about 14% the size of the Six Million Dollar man it'd work out to be about the same.
Probably this is all very reactionary, NVIDIA's stock will recover and they'll remain a big player in the LLM space.
But I'm uninterested in LLM's and would love to see price drops on GPU's, so i hope there is a longer term moderate market loss for them in this space.
