Nevermind, it’s been abandoned by the company that contributed the most to it.

I haven’t tried it myself but there is libreoffice online

Their site works fine without allowing javascript, that way it turns into quite a simple thing too!

Not certain what you mean by “colour coding certain words and phrases”, the gitlabs bullet points translated into “code” in lemmy markdown when I copy pasted the linked comment. I decided that it was good enough and didn’t bother editing.

The good thing about code is that it won’t linebreak unexpectedly and allow you to format a code snippet correctly when needed.

It’s refreshing to see differences hashed out and solved in a productive manner. Props to both OBS and the Fedora Flatpak team!

Because with the immutable distros .rpm isn’t a good match but they still want to make use of their own controls and security regarding packages. Fedora Flatpaks are built from Fedora rpms.
This security of their own caused them to update an EOL runtime into a newer version that had regressions and caused OBS to not function properly leading to the article in the OP.
After the article posted the Fedora flatpak maintainer and OBS has made plans to talk about the situation on Matrix, so I think it’ll all solve itself nicely in the end.

Ah, I haven’t looked into disabling Fedora Flatpaks in GNOME Software. A quick search only returns how to remove it all together and not sure how the GNOME Software reacts to doing that.

WARNING - THIS WILL REMOVE ANY FLATPAKS INSTALLED FROM FEDORA FLATPAKS

flatpak remote-delete fedora
flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo

Users actually do have the option to change it, you can change both the order, disable their own flatpak repo and decide if you want rpm or flatpak as the default source. If you do disable their flatpak repo the warning shown in the OP disappears:

Basically OBS used an EOL Runtime as the newer version had regressions causing OBS to not work properly.

SnappyMail seem to be a fork of Rainloop and both Rainloop and Snappymail appear to allow multiple providers - https://snappymail.eu/
Cypht seems to be a similar solution where you selfhost a webserver that acts as a web client to external email providers - https://www.cypht.org/documentation/
I find nothing about push notifications for either of those solutions though, and I’m not sure about how much the webclients cache.

Now that we’re adding more dystopian books to the thread I’d like to shout out to Kallocain (1940) by Karin Boye. It’s more of a totalitarian state similar to 1984 but has an aspect of truth drugs, a hot topic back then, and thought criminalization.

I have a similar setup to @PieMePlenty@lemmy.world in regards to my home network and I wouldn’t dream of removing my wifi network. I still consider wired to be superior though it rarely matters at those latencies.

My Windows laptop on wifi:

My Fedora on wired network:

wired level speed and reliability.

While WiFi is a lot better nowadays I’ve never seen it reach the reliability of wired networks.

I would go for registering my own domain and then rent a small vps and run debian 12 server with bind9 for dns + dyndns.
If you don’t want to put the whole domain on your own name servers then you can always delegate a subdomain to the debian 12 server and run your main domain on your domain registrators name servers.

If your registrar is supported the ddns-updater sounds a lot easier.

Agreed - my use-case would be “24/7 server + gaming vm on demand with my monitor and peripherals connected to the gaming vm” and I doubt that is what most are going for.

The reason I mentioned my own build is because I consider putting all the components together to be a step up in complexity too, when compared to going pre-built. For someone who is comfortable with building their own PC I would definitely recommend doing that, the ability to tailor the hw to your needs is so much greater. :)

Hairpin NAT/NAT Reflection can make the experience of visiting the WAN IP from the LAN a different one then if you do it from somewhere else. Or what is your what?

I would probably take a gamble on the battlemage

You would want a newer kernel though

First off, check that it is also true when using a device outside the LAN. Easiest would be to check with your phone with wifi off. You probably won’t get to the login.
If you do then it’s time to check firewall settings.

A DIY solution like your home server is great. I’m just adverse to recommending it to someone who need to ask such an open ended question here. A premade NAS is a lot more plug n play.

Personally I went with an ITX build where I run everything in a Debian KVM/qemu host, including my fedora workstation as a vm with vfio passthrough of a usb controller and the dgpu. It was a lot of fun setting it up, but nothing I’d recommend for someone needing advice for their first homelab.

I agree with your assessment of old servers, way too power hungry for what you get.

A simple way to ensure your selfhosting is easy to manage is to get a NAS for storage and then other device(s) for compute. For your current plans I think you’d get far with a Synology DS224+ (or DS423+ if you want more disk slots).
Then when the NAS starts to be not enough you can add an extra device for compute (a mini pc or whatever you want) and let that device use the NAS as a storage.
Oh and budget to buy at least one large USB Drive to use as a backup, even if your NAS runs a redundant RAID.
