Family PCs need a replacement for #Windows10 soon. I plan to install #Linux #Mint (Cinnamon) for browsing and light Word use — looks friendly for non-tech family members. Anyone prefer a different distro for people which are coming from Windows?

Private Chat-Nachrichten müssen auch künftig privat bleiben, fordern zivilgesellschaftliche Organisationen in einer kurzfristig gestarteten Online-Petition. Gerichtet an die Bundesregierung soll sie dazu beitragen, dass die im EU-Rat die #Chatkontrolle ablehnt.

#Proxmox has been running on my #ZimaBlade 2 for a week and everything looks very stable. I’m considering migrating #HomeAssistant from my #raspberrypi #k3s cluster into a Proxmox VM and using the Home Assistant OS Version. Something I need to consider?

After years with #K3S + #RaspberryPi in my #HomeLab, my new #ZimaBoard 2 was a good reason for me to try #Proxmox. First two LXC are already running: #Pihole and #Jellyfin 💪
Next: Backup, #TrueNas and a reverse Proxy, after i have figured out how private networking with Proxmox is working.

#ZimaBoard2 arrived yesterday — now I have to find a spot on my packed wall board, and two planned 2,5” SSDs aren’t making it easier

The IR reading head for the smart meter arrived today, so I can continue working on my LoRa smart‑meter reader project.
Before that, I need to finish a small maker project with my son. Any guesses what we’re making?

What a surprise: Atlassian is acquiring The Browser Company.
But I assume that this deal won’t bring back Arc back from Maintenance Mode. Looks like the focus of the deal is Dia.

The Browser Company, maker of Arc and Dia, is being acquired
The company behind the Dia and Arc browsers is being acquired
$610 million is a pretty big number for a web browser

I was gifted a voucher for free #merch, but the company shipped all items separately — two of three packages even came from the USA despite the company being based in Germany. I now have to cover roughly 20 € in import fees, including 2 x 7,50 € #DHL handling charges. Joy ruined 😔

I‘ve found my old Windows PC in the closet and booted it just to check what’s stored on it — then I spotted „Cities: Skylines“. That was all it took: tonight’s a short one. 🎮🏙️ #CitiesSkylines #nostalgia #gaming

Backed GL‑iNet’s new Remote KVM on Kickstarter — wondering if it’s a useful tool or just gadget hype.
Any real-world experiences with remote KVMs in a HomeLab would be super helpful.

On my way to the yearly dental checkup — pretty sure I’ll hear the reminder that I don’t floss enough. I honestly can’t work out why flossing won’t stick as a habit. #flossing #habits #dentalcare 🦷

Installed #karakeep in my #HomeLab — moving my #Notion links collection over. Loving the #AI auto-tagging. Now stuck on whether to make the service public so I can access it without a VPN or keep it locked down 🤔

Nice! I like the plugin which shows your „current library loans“.
I will check if this will work with my city library to.
If note, I need to build it by my own 😬

I'm now routing the internet traffic from my #IoT VLAN through a #VPN to hide my IP address. Every few months, I find myself reassessing whether my current measures are sufficient to protect myself and my data.
