Good thing about the setup and self updating router is you should have a VPN/(head/tail)scale connection enabled to it so you can still use the smart plug (plugged into the UPS) or send the WoL packet. Or PiKVM. Or if your breaker box is outside ask your neighbor to flip some switches until it comes back to life and come back to an online server and a fridge full of spoiled food.

Smart plug or WOL packet from router go BRRRRR

Fellow humans should I finish the bird muscle with a saccharine concoction, an overfermented grape extract concoction, or a ground plant concoction from the geographic region of Carolina? I know us fellow humans frequently debate the proper and just pairing of concoction and flesh.

Ok, I also run Alacritty on Arch but I’m using KDE and tmux so it might be a bit different.

Do you have save_to_clipboard = true under [selection]?

I think I may have had an issue like this in the past where the clipboard wasn’t working at all. I believe I resolved it by installing wl-clipboard. There are also a few issues related to alacritty and clipboards in their GitHub from a while back so it might be version dependent as well.

Sharing your distro may be helpful to resolving this issue.

I’ve certainly died of cringe. DNR

I currently use gandi but I’m planning on moving to cloudflare. Not in too much of a rush since I did a 10 year lease.

My friend are you completely ignoring ethical nudism here? Fabric and clothing is just a capitalist mind game to shame you into covering yourself. We were born naked and goddammit I’ll die naked.

Eschew the tank top and embrace tankie topless.

Your best bet is getting a platform your can sideload apps onto and running SmartTube

AdGuard Home and blocky are other popular options. I switched over to AdGuard Home a while back because it supported DNS over HTTPS although I’m not sure if that’s still a relevant reason. I run AGH as a docker container but it is easy to run in a LXC or VM. There’s also a tool to sync configs if you need multiple instances. Notice: AGH block lists are formatted like uBlock Origin lists so you will not be able to use PiHole style lists.

DNS based ad blockers won’t work when ads are served from the same place as the content. Which is why DNS based ad blockers don’t work against Twitch or YouTube. So YMMV.

If you’re looking to block interface ads and select streaming service ads there are block lists available like this one. The game with smart TVs is blocking the ads breaks the TV a little because sometimes it calls back to the same servers for updates and misc info like weather.

It’s not very expandable and very underpowered but I’ve been using an Odroid HC-4 with Armbian and a separate compute server for a while. It’s a decent budget option.

I run a Plex container on Proxmox and have it connect to my Armbian/OMV NAS via SMB. The way I got SMB shares working was to mount them from the Proxmox host and then mount them read-only from the container. (better security ig) I’d be happy to share my configs although it might take me a couple days to pull them up.

Another alternative I’ve been thinking about is buying an external drive rack and attaching it to the outside of my server’s PC case. Then running SATA extenders but this might not be possible depending on the kind of mini PC and I’ve heard extending power can get dicey if you have more than a few drives.

I use their toaster NAS. The HC4 I think. Not the best multimedia server but it’s a serviceable file server.

I mean at the end of the day it’s all Linux so it’s not so different and just a minor convenience.

This is just for Fedora: comes with non-free audio/video codecs, non-free driver repos.

For other distro: It comes with nVidea drivers, WINE, OBS, Blender, Proton, Lutris, and Flatpak set up/preinstalled. (drivers detected on install I believe) there’s also package and kernel tweaks to boost gaming performance, supposedly.

In comparison to Mint: Fedora packages and kernel versions get updated a little faster than Ubuntu/Debian based distros.

So Nobara takes a lot of the “pain” out of system setup for people who are new to Linux and gamers/streamers.

I haven’t used it personally though I’m currently running EndeavorOS and using a SteamDeck for gaming.
