My desktop computer monitor is a 28 inch 4K screen, so yes, it is on the upper end of the median screen size, I guess. I ran Hyprland on my laptop (13 inch 1080p) for some time but I like my environment harmonized, so I use the same configuration there, too.

For easier management I make use of labwc’s areas and snapping feature to have windows proportionally the same size on both screens. The areas use percentages by default, which makes it quite easy. I have top, bottom, left, and right, the four corner quarters and two different center regions.

On my laptop I usually only use the center region for the browser.

Using Waybar I have a detailed clock and a sound widget on bottom right corner of my screen, and left of that is space for “systray” icons.

My windows have a title bar, that show the icon and title, and a close button.

No task bar or other navigation elements on the screen or the windows.

I make heavy use of Alt+Drag actions for resizing moving windows around and constantly have windows rolled up so only the title bar is showing. I never minimize windows and rarely use fullscreen.

For accessing applications in a convenient way I use the root menu on desktop rightclick and the client menu on middleclick.

The whole setup is fully customized and built from ground up to be as least annoying and intrusive as possible.

This is basically my setup since ca. 15-20 years now. Started with Openbox on Debian and since 2008 Arch Linux, and around 2-3 years ago I switched over to labwc on Wayland which allowed me to re-create what I used on Openbox.

So it’s open core now? As if this would be any better.

So, Vaultwarden it is?

Yeah, the content mafia really hates everything that makes us actually own something.

Okay, great. I don’t have a smartphone. No I cannot see the error log anymore.

No-one did and you can basically establish you fully independent DNS. The DNS unter ICANN control is just the default.

That’s the question of this thread. Yes.

What are you using for this type of thing?

I just created a send-only mailbox in the account I already have at my hosting service and use this in all my services.

I’m not going to set up a mail server and deal with all the security issues and problems with private dial-up IP addresses myself. Been there, done that. Wasn’t fun.

Make a fake account then?

Just another random person’s dotfiles?

All distros are immutable if you lost your root password.

I think NixOS is the way to go currently, but I personally would not use it due to the extra amount of work for little to no benefit on a single-user home machine.

If you have money to spend, look for a Microsoft Surface. It’s amazing how good they work with Linux, despite being a Microsoft device designed to run Windows.

Their build quality is really good, too.

• Mail with all the bells and whistles (been there, done that – but I just want this to work and not care about details).
• Dynamic DNS because I just need to tell someone my non-static IP so they can connect that with my domain name.

Security … Depends. If you want to sell the SSD, then yes, wiping the SSD is advised. You don’t need complicated random multiple-write patterns. Just make sure to wipe everything (keywords: wear-leveling, cache), you could use blkdiscard for that.

Performance-wise nothing noticeable would change. Physically, SSDs are fast enough to modify the charge traps to store the bits as needed to store files regardless of what’s in those traps (that’s quite a rabbit hole).

If you plan using the SSD for your own, you don’t need to wipe it, just repartition as needed and create the file systems in the partitions. What I do, is writing some data to the storage to destroy the partition table (dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/XYZ where XYZ is my target device – and then leave it runninf for a few seconds).

Since you’re using encryption, the common tools only see garbage and no data (i.e. file system). So simply don’t decrypt and work with the mapped partition but use the device directly.

They would lose likely 98% of their player base.

The IPv6 range is barely even used.

Yet.

Also I imagine that there will be a secondary market for IPv6 at some point.

Like there already is one for IPv4 addresses?

I stand by my point:

No-one will ever need a /48 range.

The ranges will become larger over time because “we have it”, and companies will get thousands of sections with figuratively unlimited IP addresses in them each.
