I stand corrected, .NET Core is open source and uses the MIT License.
“We’ve finished taking all we need from the Mono project and implemented it into our proprietary .NET implementation for Linux, Android and iOS. Instead of getting flack for killing off Mono (which is open source and would’ve been forked anyways) we graciously give this old husk to the Wine project. We recommend that active Mono users and maintainers of Mono-based app frameworks migrate to .NET. kthnxbye!”
Good thing that it went to Wine I guess, as they do lots of work to get old Windows programs up and running in Linux and that often involves Mono.
Historically I’ve gone for Lenovo laptops, at least for their business segments they’ve been good with releasing updates to fix security issues for many years. Having a promise of 5 years of firmware updates would be lovely though.
AUX, MicroSD, smaller format and big battery was the reason I went for my Sony Xperia 10 IV (budget phone, got mine new for 260€) device.
Sadly their software updates are only for two years as otherwise I would’ve been interested in the Sony Xperia 5 series (compact flagship). I’m not paying flagship prices for a phone that stops updating after two years.
I hope that the EU regulation forcing 5 years of updates for phones and tablets starting June 2025 will allow me a compact flagship phone with aux, big battery and updates for a long time.

pfsense and opnsense are very similar. The pfsense devs has acted like jackasses towards the opnsense gang. They are both great for a router/firewall/vpn device. I would use external access points with them.
I think there are more addons to pfsense than opnsense.
OpenWrt is great when it comes to WiFi, but I find it much less intuitive to use for router/firewall parts. Could be that I am used to the way pfsense and opnsense do things.
Neither do switching from what I know, so pair the router with a switch of your choice.
I’m so happy I went with a self-hosted Forgejo for my code repo.
Next time I build a PC, I plan to spend extra on hardware that can run games decently while producing as little heat as possible. My current PC is like a space heater when it’s running and it’s unbearable to play games on it for any extended periods during the summer months.
The only reason I went for an 80+ Platinum PSU instead of an 80+ Bronze PSU is to make it generate less heat (and the fact that the platinum had a really nice price at the time). Doing it for power savings isn’t worth it, but getting a cooler case is nice.

For signal I imagine you’ll find the best answers here:

After which ctrl+f " in" takes you to the correct chapters. I do agree that a direct link would be more helpful.
And for learning postgresql I agree it isn’t very helpful - using their tutorial links, w3schools or something like udemy if you prefer video format is the way to go in that use case.
I remember back when you were told to learn to work with the documentation, not memorize it, because you will always have access to it as a reference. Maybe bookmarking reference books/documentation will make a come back as the search engines degrade.
I definitely feel the pain when it comes to worthless results nowadays. Though in this case DDG comes through:
Adding documentation to the search makes the “correct” page soar to the top:
I consider client devices to be a big risk factor and if I can keep them from having direct access to the Backup NAS and the IoT I consider that a big win. A simple ransomware attack on a client device would find any NFS/SMB shares the client can access and start encrypting - having the Backup NAS on a separate VLAN that only the server can access stops most of those from affecting the backup and makes restoring a lot easier. I would definitely recommend having an offline backup of the NAS as well in case of the server being breached.
I agree with this, protecting everything behind a VPN is the way to go. I help friends setup their vpn client to my stuff if I want them to access an internal service.
Regarding management UIs I’m a fan of Cockpit (https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit https://cockpit-project.org/)
Regarding management UIs for docker I believe most use either portainer (https://github.com/portainer/portainer https://www.portainer.io/) or dockge (https://github.com/louislam/dockge https://dockge.kuma.pet/).
Regarding Samba most NAS devices simplify it a lot, but it isn’t that complicated to do on Fedora either and once you’ve got it setup it’s not gonna need a lot of tinkering. (https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/samba/)
Whether you invest in a NAS or not I recommend you invest in a USB disk large enough to act as a backup for the storage disks. That’s not an investment for later but one you want right away. And do make certain it takes backups, not replicates data. A popular option is Borg Backup (https://github.com/borgbackup/borg https://www.borgbackup.org/)
If I went for a NAS I would Borg Backup the laptop to the NAS and then use the NAS own backup software to backup to the USB.
Curious. Firefox w/ Ublock Origin works fine for me when l set noscript to allow qwant.com to run javascript.
I like that Qwant is based in europe and I like that their search engine works with javascript off.
edit: Only first page, cannot show more results at the bottom. DDG will let me continue looking through results with javascript off and will continue to be my primary search engine.
The results differ between duckduckgo and qwant for me when using english but in my native language the results are very similar.
They’ve said that they reinforce their search results with bing if their own index has few results, so I imagine that’s why.

Computers often present their users with textual messages, but the users often don’t read them.
So many times I’ve just been a fancy TTS (Text to speech) assistant.
End user: Sends MMS of error message.
Me: Calls end user and reads the error message out loud.
End user: Oh! Thanks! Problem solved.
Me: No problem, have a good day.
If you liveboot Fedora or something with USB - how’s the upload then?
Should be a quick way to determine if it’s software or hardware based.
edit - Seems that others have had upload troubles with latest Proxmox and fixed it by downgrading:
