I would not recommend going to the open ones just yet. There are major performance issues with the GSP firmware. You can disable it on the proprietary modules but you can not do so on the open modules since they rely on it for functionality.

I only have a few privacy-focused friends on Signal and Matrix and I talk to them that way. I have a few friends who use my personal Nextcloud and just use Nextcloud Talk to chat with me. For all others, I still use the mainstream platforms and just take care to not post any info that I don’t want public and I make sure the apps have limited info and app permissions.
I think it is tough to convince others to switch until they themselves see the need, at which point they’ll start asking you for advice on what to do.
With new contacts, I’ll usually ask if they have Signal first and if they don’t then I don’t really push it. I think just getting the name out there every once in a while is the most you can do.
I hate to say it, but depending on manufacturers for this kind of stuff will always inevitably lead to these kinds of situations. This is why I always buy OpenWrt compatible routers and DIY my own NAS.
Over the years, I’ve experienced:
After that I basically said, fuck it, I’ll DIY my own and have been much happier ever since. If you have the know-how and the time, DIY is the way to go for longevity.
I’ve been using my AMD 5600G’s iGPU to do hardware decode and encode in Jellyfin and it works pretty well. Only downside is that it doesn’t support AV1, but it works well with H264 and H265.
Holy god damn! Why does it look so damned slick?! Arch just keeps getting better and better for everybody.
Fuck those guys. I really wish LG would support DP a bit more in their products.
You may want to consider dockerizing your services just for maintainability and isolation from your host. I recommend something like Nginx Proxy Manager to serve as the “main entrance” for your docker network and to handle Let’s Encrypt for you.
Yes and no. It’s great for hiding your IP and preventing DDOS attacks, but it does require you to use their certs, which means they technically have access to your data. Cloudflare is pretty trustworthy, but the risk is still there.
Sigh, all I want is some decent privacy-centric cloud services like Proton. Bonus points if they’re self-hostable. I am currently paying Proton for a premium plan, but I would have gladly paid Mozilla instead for similar services. They keep trying to monetize the wrong things and doing a poor job at it at the same time. None of their VPN and email aliasing stuff are competitively priced or featureful.
Nope, you’re running into the dreaded AMD HDMI 2.1 limitation. The situation just sucks.
VR is one the aspects of Linux gaming that is still weak unfortunately. The Quest line of headsets for example just don’t work. On Quest 2 and Quest 3 you may have some success using ALVR, which is a remote streaming solution over wifi.
You’re probably running in non-RGB 4:4:4. Quick test is to have some red console text against a gray background and if the text is fuzzy with compression artifacts at the edges, then it is not 4:4:4. You can check what mode your TV is in by clicking the green button with the two dots seven times.
Game performance is fine. It is the desktop performance that’s the issue.
