It works fine with Syncthing so long as you only ever have the database open on one device at a time.

No, you can copy wine prefixes around all you want. You may have to adjust the graphics settings in the games though.
X11 isn’t secure and it can’t be fixed apparently
Which is why so much work has been going into Wayland, which will replace X11.
Skyrim and Fallout 4 really need a CPU with very good single threaded performance. If you have a lot of cores, make sure nothing is running in the background so you can get a higher boost speed on the cores the game is using.
It doesn’t let me select more than 1 file to add.
It’s easier to type a command than it is to add files to Handbrake one at a time. I can also run multiple encodes simultaneously. It takes 2-4 to max out my CPU depending on the codec and resolution.
Handbrake is good for a few files, but I still prefer ffmpeg when doing a large batch.
You can use the --download-sections
parameter to specify a time range. --download-sections "*0-600"
would download the first 600 seconds to the nearest keyframe. To make it exact, you would have to re-encode the video after downloading it.
For making the thumbnail square, you will probably have to write a script to extract it, crop it, and re-insert it.
It sounds like he wants everything done server side like they did in the mid 90’s. It’s certainly possible, but it won’t result in a very good user experience. The whole page would have to reload to change anything on it.
Just make sure the VPS will shut down if the bandwidth is exceeded rather than giving you a big overage charge.
With Wayland, programs still can’t restore their window position or size. It sure would be nice if they could get basic functionality working.
If your ISP provides IPv6, set that up. Everything will have a globally routed address, so your domains will work from your LAN and the internet. If you don’t have IPv6 available, get a free tunnel from Hurricane Electric.
I would only recommend using it if a native package is not available or you need a newer version than what’s available.
Half the time I will just compile from source when I see how much space a flatpak and its dependencies will take up though.
Since you can have multiple IPv6 addresses on one machine, you can use a rotating address for all outbound connections and a permanent address for inbound connections. If you visit a malicious website that tries to attack the IP that visits it, there will be no ports open. They would have to scan billions of addresses to find the permanent address. All of that scanning would be easily detected and blocked by an IDS.
NAT works fine until you get stuck on CGNAT and can’t host anything on IPv4 without using a VPN.
The benefit is being able to easily access devices from the internet. The same address works on the LAN and WAN. There’s no port forwarding, so multiple devices can have the same port open. You also don’t need to mess with a VPN if your IPv4 connection uses CGNAT.
It needs more information about what went wrong. That’s about as useful as a windows BSOD.
You can zero out the free space on each partition then pipe the output from dd into gzip if you want to save space.
It’s getting harder to find routers that will run open source firmware. The best option is to run OPNsense or pfSense on a low power x86 machine and use separate APs for WiFi.
Lutris uses separate prefixes and doesn’t do any deduplication. You will need a separate tool for that or just use a filesystem like btrfs that supports deduplication.
I’ve never used bottles, so I don’t know how it handles deduplication.
