You can use any DE you want on just about any distro you want

How do you mean they are spamming?

Mint is a good alterative. It has an xfce edition.

Not Compatible with what exactly? It works on my 20 year old ipod using rockbox, any modern players should support it.

Since FLAC tend to be around 1444kbps I use 144kbps opus and that makes them abour 10% of the size.

Using a live usb is the correct answer since compiling a custom initramfs would require one anyway and just add more steps… Not sure what gives you the impression using a liveusb is “more complicated” but its not.

Well now I just want to do it more.

Mail carriers are not idiots, they just discard the thing as trash since its obviously not an envelope… Business reply mail will only ever be paper letters, so what you actually want to do is just send whatever it is back to them with useless information or if its an actual envelope you can stuff it with glitter or shred the paper inside, its still technically “improper use” but they won’t know that until its at the destination.

Can you upgrade the desktop? What speed is your laptops WiFi?

I just use rsync manually until I have syncthig working but these don’t really solve slowdown issues and aren’t mounted. I would look into a better NIC and/or storage for the desktop or possibly your router.

Try using something like iperf to measure raw speed of the connection between your 2 systems, see if its what it should be (around 300-600mbps for wireless to wired locally) and try to narrow down where the bottleneck is.

Frp or nginx are both available on openWRT to do what you want.

Glad you found what you need. Ive never needed any browser plugins to use JDL2, it just works with copy and past and monitors your clipboard,

I’d just host them in a library only visible to mom and members that would want to view it.

Also consider the unintentionally comedic value of such films, they’re sometimes fun to watch just because of how bad they are.

Jdownloader2 is the the best, I’ve not used anything else for years.

Linux Mint Debian Edition if you find Debian itself too intimidating.

The nvidia 1650 can’t do AV1 but it can handle hevc just fine, I’m currently using a 1660 on mine and before that it was a 950. Unless you need more than 3 steams at a time you should be able to get it working.

Use https://dockstarter.com

Follow https://trash-guides.info/Hardlinks/How-to-setup-for/Dockstarter/

I would also suggest prowlarr instead of jackett.

If that’s too hard then I think you should consider renting a seedbox that has easy one click install options for all the ARRs.

If you haven’t already tried it I would also highly recommend phind.com for troubleshooting or coding questions.

Also for a nice quick access to gpt from your terminal grab “tgpt” and you can ask questions directly from your terminal.

Oh right, so the NAS you can setup with the addon Samba NAS.

DuckDNS will mitigate your issues with not having a staic IP (alternatively theres any number of DynDNS programs you can look into if for example you already own your own domain name)

Nginx-Proxy-Manager allows you to forward ports based on the domain used to connect so, you might not even need it really but if you wanted for exmple to have an address like mysupercoolnas.duckdns,org rediect to one proxmox vm and mycoolassitant.duckdns.org to reditect to HA you could do that. Or you could just have one DynDNS setup and use port forwarding on your router to handle what ports direct to which VM.

how to access the NAS and HA separately from the outside knowing that my access provider does not offer a static IP and that access to each VM must be differentiated from Proxmox.

HA has add-ons for duckns and nginx-proxy-manager which should solve this… Or alternatively use those things in docker or by installing on your host OS.

is Coral really useful with 3 cameras?

Yes if you want object detection

• do you need a Coral in USB or M.2 version?

I’ve only used a USB, I don’t know how to pass M.2 through to the VM but I’m sure theres tutorials out there if you want to.

• are there affordable NUCs with free M.2 slots?

Can’t answer that one.

• won’t proxmox add a layer of complexity with Coral/Frigate/a Zigbee dongle?

Yes, you’ll need to know how to pass through the devices to their respective VMs.

Have you tried macchanger? Also don’t disable network manager,.normally you should be able to change your Mac in network manager but it sounds like maybe you’re following a tutorial of some kind that might not be right.

You should be able to use either without any changes. If you have a problem connecting from another system then it’s likely a firewall issue.
