Yes, and Nix is another bag of worms. My suggestion is first try to backup your Docker compose file and the configuration files, you can define in .gitignore which files or dirs to ignore and not backup. You don’t need any automated installation for your server, as it is fairly standard but you can easily do that if you run it as a VM on top of Proxmox and just create a snapshot of your VM.

That’s actually better than I thought though. I am also tempted into a 16:10 aspect ratio, but that’s only on the third gen which is unfortunate. Thanks for the link.

I found a good T14 gen 1 with Ryzen CPU and 400 nits low-power display, but I read that the 4650U CPUs don’t support amd-pstate and only auto-cpufreq, meaning that it will affect negatively the battery life. The T14 gen 2 are unfortunately with the 300 nits display, which is quite mediocre. How much worse the battery would be on the gen1?

True that, and I generally prefer bigger screens. As I said what I don’t like is the price.

Yes, exactly, what attracts me to Framework and ThinkPad is the repairability

I tend to lose adapters to be honest. And right now I am trying to get everything possible to support USB-C as it is super convenient and the chargers are also really small.

Yes, that’s why I want to have a USB-C charging. I have a 60W GAN charger.

In the night I do look every now and then, plus if I need some special symbol, it is much better if you have it on the keyboard instead of googling

For personal use, I will use it just when traveling, as I have a more powerful desktop. Nothing too fancy, a bit of programming, tinkering. Will run probably Hyprland. What’s important is to have 5-6 hours of battery life. I will probably run some containers, YouTube watching, browsing, should be portable and support charging over USB-C.

You simply don’t get it, there are shit loads of people who are struggling with their mental health and for various reasons they cannot find and/or afford a therapist. So yes, better to have an AI therapist than no therapist.

Happy user of Ventoy here

To be honest I don’t really know, but I know that what you want can easily be solved with SOCKS5 proxy. I think Wireguard and other VPNs are added to encrypt the traffic. There are also other alternatives to SOCKS5 proxy adding encryption.

In Wireguard you have those Allowed IPs, you can allow only those IPs to be reachable from outside and you can configure them per client if I am not wrong. I think the easiest way would be for you to run those services over Docker, that way each server will have an IP from your docker network and you can isolate the traffic. https://www.procustodibus.com/blog/2021/03/wireguard-allowedips-calculator/

My personal suggestion is to spin up a VM, install Debian, Ubuntu, or whatever your poison is, run docker compose or podman compose, spring up a Docker or two and Wireguard and try to achieve what you want. Heck you can even run Wireguard from a container. Once confident with your setup you can migrate it to Nix.

There is no need to have them on separate VMs, as containers are already isolated and additional VMs will add more overhead.

It is worth exploring the LXC containers too, even though I prefer Docker with compose for its declarativeness.

Yes, I also heard that he passed, and I really feel bad for the guy, he did an amazing job. Thanks for the link, I didn’t know there was a new place.

Check this project https://github.com/whyvl/wireproxy

I would suggest giving Proxmox a go and virtualise your VMs, as you can easily make snapshots and recover if something goes south.

You can also check https://tteck.github.io/Proxmox/ containing easy deployable scripts to make your life easier.

I would also try to run everything out of Docker compose and create a repo containing all configuration files.

There are also some improvements ongoing on the quality, like aptX Low Latency mode and Fast Stream and generally Fast Stream is providing better quality, but still it will sound worse than aptX HD or any other high quality standard. https://support.avantree.com/hc/en-us/articles/31257100736793-Different-Bluetooth-Codecs-Latency

Maybe if Reddit isn’t saving the IP addresses of their users, film companies wouldn’t be able even if they want to retrieve that information.
