Yeah, this is pretty textbook selection bias.

I do all my Linux kernel development, and especially compilation, on my steam deck.

If you’re up for pgp and git, gnu password store is a killer app. There are a few guis, including Android and iOS, and if you use gopass there’s a nice plugin for browsers as well. And it’s ultimately just two tools that are both solid and generally well known.

My 3090 is a light flickering machine. Kind of annoying tbh.

I’m assuming OP wants to run on Linux and I’m not familiar enough with .NET Core to know how much or how easily you can run it on Linux. I know some things definitely run, I just don’t know how much.

For camera software, zoneminder is a classic, and frigate is probably the new kid in town. Web hosting will depend on your web developers but docker will have you covered for almost anything. Probably just steer clear of asp.net dev shops.

Not to mention you really can’t hide that other drive from windows, and I’m sure a lot of the security tools would start screaming about new storage added when not expected. Data Loss Prevention is a big deal and random storage showing up doesn’t often mean the user has good things planned.

Yeah, this is an important point tbh. Vlans alone don’t add any security if your firewall doesn’t do something to prevent it, as your router will happily forward packets to the next vlan. It should be on a DMZ vlan, meaning traffic is allowed in at the firewall but not to any other internal vlans.

Everyone starts somewhere and learns as they go. You did too.

And you can even do this with luks on lvm.

Ah yes. BIND v1.

Mixing storage and processing is now cool again. It’s just called hyper converged infrastructure.

In my case, specifically tiling windows. I use i3, btw.

You can always add the env var in /etc/profile, though there are likely more fine grained approaches (like editing the firefox.desktop file) that won’t set vars for everything.

Pretty sure you meant “grub os prober” and got auto corrected for anyone confused.

He’s not even experienced, he’s new! Why’s he the one we picked to investigate?

Next time you could even add gzip or some other compression and save yourself a bit of time and bandwidth.

A quick search shows he’s actually two years older than Linus. Though I’m sure there’s plenty of young blood in the community by now.

Personally I would strongly recommend learning how to do all of this. And then abandoning it for tailscale or something similar once you know what they’re doing behind the scenes. It’s incredibly useful knowledge but it’s also nice to have so much of the process automated and best practices like key rotation done for you. Plus unless your network is hugely crazy or enterprise, you can manage for the really great price of $0.

And if you really really want to self host (which I understand) there’s headscale for a lot of the features.
