Lol go to Korea and see all the other consumer facing stuff. LG shampoo if you want.

Chromium is open source, Google bases their Chrome off of it, but Chrome is not open source.

Like others have said, running a DE with remote capabilities will be a lot of overhead.

If you set up portainer and watchtower using ssh, you can pretty much just manage everything from portainer while watchtower makes sure that portainer and the rest of your containers stay updated. It’s a very hands-off operation, especially if you set up auto updates on top of that for the pi OS. You’ll probably just have to ssh in periodically to run a system upgrade and maybe restart to update the kernel.

Can you explain that one then because I’m really not seeing what you’re saying.

With a caveat on the shield. It’s still android TV so ideally you put your own OS on it if you’re worried about that kind of thing.

If this stops revanced from working it will be my push to install grapheneos. I don’t need the wallet function really.

I know someone whose life is made substantially worse because they have a lack of access to healthcare. They live in Europe and can’t get access to the specialized medicine that they need in the timeframe that they need it in. I’m not saying that socialized medicine is bad—I’m actually all for it—but it needs to be implemented well for it to actually work. This is just my anecdotal evidence to say that just because everyone has access doesn’t automatically mean it’s adequate access.

Maybe if you’re in a big city, or maybe Europe. I recently moved back to the US from Asia and found OSM data to be really bad in the small city that I come from.

Windows server, the OS, runs differently from desktop windows. So if you’re using desktop windows and expecting it to run like a server, well, that’s on you. However, I ran windows server 2016 and then 2019 for quite a few years just doing general homelab stuff and it is really a pain compared to Linux which I switched to on my server about a year ago. Server stuff is just way easier on Linux in my experience.

Gratuitous can be used to mean the same thing, but English speakers also use gratis

Yeah I regrettably* bought a year’s subscription to Peacock and was also pleasantly surprised that my PiHole just blocked all the ads.

*This was when they were offering a year for 20 USD. They had advertised world cup streaming but neglected to mention that all the commentary was in Spanish with no English option. I ended up just streaming a Swiss TV channel because it was at least in a language I can understand.

ProtonVPN?

Pivpn was discontinued just a heads up. I switched to just plain wireguard when I heard the news.

But no p2p on free. Honestly, OP, for this one you may just have to drop some cash on a reputable VPN

Can’t you download those pictures locally? It would be good practice anyway to not rely on Facebook of all places to host your beloved photos indefinitely

Jellyfin is also a fork of Emby so there’s some continuity there for OP

Heads up, pivpn is now unmaintained !

You can install smarttube next on your shield. It has sponsor block as well as regular ad block

I did this or something close to it years ago when running windows server. Was a bit of a hassle, but I got things running ok. Now I’m on Linux server with the same machine and it’s not a problem there.

Linux has been better for my server needs generally anyway, but I’m happy to be reminded of yet another reason to stay off windows

When I was a kid and Facebook was new, I remember everyone wanting an account. The way I see it, Facebook just kept those users who wanted it when it was new. Who’s to say that the same won’t be true of TikTok later?
