Use tailscale and keep your services behind the VPN. Opening up your services, even behind a tunnel, isn’t a thing you should get into early in your self-hosting journey.

It’s using plasma-nano session, which is a minimal Plasma session, and adding a launcher and settings app from what I can see.

You can run it in a regular window if you install the dependencies and use kde-builder to compile it and run. See the Dev docs at https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-bigscreen/

If you do decide to install all the kde-builder stuff, I’d suggest you use a distrobox container to make it easy to remove the many, many packages that it will install in order to set up the build environment

I specifically bought a smart watch for that purpose, first watch I’ve bought in over 20 years, and it sits there and gathers dust because it’s so annoying to have something hanging on my wrist. I might also be less wigged out by them if I could put my own OS on it instead of having the Google spyware only.

It’s been pretty ignored but I understand there’s been a fair bit of recent development on it by a single dev that’s taken an interest. Hard to say how long that’s going to continue, and it still has a long way to go to be something like LibreELEC/Kodi.

I know of a company that their entire CI pipeline was broken overnight because some “helpful” person renamed the branch to master but didn’t bother checking out their pipelines

Sounds like the sort of simpleton that would find “master” offensive.

I feel like the only person that can’t stand to wear a watch. Until cellphones came out, I just got really good at estimating the time.

I’m pretty familiar with TTech’s legacy, I just mention it because if the repos ever got compromised, it could be a shitshow. IDK what security measures the new maintainers use to secure their access or check PRs, but I get nervous when it’s as popular as it is and such a good vector for complicated installations that are hard to check out. I also don’t know the new maintainers from Adam.

Personally, I’d use the scripts as a guide for DIY.

Know what you’re running when you pipe to a bash script. Curl-bash pipes are a security mess.

Something that’s less annoying than Anubis is fail2ban tarpitting the scrapers by putting in a hidden honeypot page link that they follow, and adding the followers to fail2ban.

Why Radicale when you have a caldav-capable calendar in NC?

This Exodus wallet scam popped up before. https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2024/03/ubuntu-will-manually-review-snap-store-after-crypto-wallet-scams/

So your theory about “never again” has been spectacularly shot down, apparently. Even the same name.

I could swear Ubuntu snap store has been gotten with this bullshit before, maybe more than once

Steam engines? Plenty of those ran the Industrial Revolution factories.

I was the 3-year-old ring bearer.

Thing like this are why there’s a million settings in KDE; every dev is prepared for the inevitable “but I hate it, make it go away” complaint. Granted, this complainer was pretty respectful and threw in a donation to soften the blow. Most people just act entitled, like the dev personally affronted them with their update.
