If you haven’t already tried a USB 2.0 flash drive, give that a go. I find they are less finicky to boot from than some 3.0 drives.

They couldn’t read your comment, unfortunately. All they saw on their screen was:

Linux Mint specifically excludes the snap store due to the many criticisms people have already mentioned here. Doc refers to version 20, but I believe it’s still the same in the current version. Not sure about other ubuntu-based distros though.

I mostly just want to log connections and IPs to have a record of things.
I just use Firefox Sync. Works on all those platforms.
Yea, I didn’t like that they are going to drop support in the next version or whatever. Not sure if it’s their intended replacement, but Wireguard is installed by default in TrueNAS Bluefin. I recently switched to that, and I find the performance is way better than OpenVPN.
What are you using to monitor wireguard?
My (albeit, somewhat older) j model hits 100% cpu just logging into the web UI. Synologys are nice, but definitely stay away from their budget models.
You’d set your firewall rules to only accept requests from the cloudflare datacenter IPs for those port forwards. So, the ports would be otherwise blocked to anyone else trying to access them directly.
While I normally prefer Linux Mint, Fedora was the only distro that worked with all touch features out of the box on my IdeaPad Flex 5. Other distros I tried out (Mint, Ubuntu, Manjaro, OpenSUSE) had some issue or another that required tweaks: Second-class touch support, like the cursor jumping to where you tap instead of real tap input, applications not drag-scrolling, and the keyboard not re-enabling after flipping back from tablet mode.
I have one of these mini PCs arriving soon. A little more money than I wanted to spend and no idea if this brand is any good. But it checks a lot of boxes for a backup server project I’m working on - eMMC for boot, microsd slot, M.2 2280 NVME socket, and a 2.5" SATA connection. They have some other variants as well that don’t cost as much.

I originally got a used Dell Optiplex Micro from eBay for this. They come with a 2.5" SATA connection. But I learned the hard way that not all models come with M.2.
If any other device on your network, such as your phone, exclusively uses pihole for DNS, they won’t be able to resolve web addresses when your computer is off - effectively cutting off internet access. Pihole should really be running 24/7 to avoid complications.
Hello, I commented about a bug in the instance selector on a cross post, not realizing that wasn’t the actual developer. Not sure if it’s related to what you’re talking about here, but I wanted to bring it to your attention. Great project by the way!
Simplest solution is often the best. To add to this, Thunderbird has what are called Local folders. If you have your other email accounts added, you can simply drag and drop everything into the Local folder to move them off the cloud and into local storage. No email server required. Definitely a good idea to take backups if storing important stuff locally though.
Somewhat related, I’m so annoyed that my USB 3.0 SATA adapter doesn’t pass S.M.A.R.T. data. Didn’t even think to check for such a deficiency. Just another thing to watch out for when buying these adapters.
