Difficulty level: Nearly impossible.

Even if you buy the house in a trust and have an attorney list his name for all utilities and have packages and mail delivered to a PO box, there’s a thousand other tracking vectors that will eventually tie your name to your home and most of them are completely out of your control.

You would need to have a car without a cellular modem, not use a cellphone, and most importantly never tell any friends or family your home address and never allow any friends and family inside your home.

My entire extended family knows how I am about my privacy and yet someone still thought it would be fun to sign me up for a planting magazine with my full legal name and new address.

Banks, utilities, even government and health agencies sell your personal data without your knowledge and to any single one of them your home address isn’t necessarily “protected or sensitive” information.

Friends and family will be so excited for you and optimistically update your address in there phone book. A month later they download some candy crush clone game and give it permission to access contacts. Boom you’re compromised.

Normally I hate blackpilled takes like this, but sadly this is the one aspect of privacy that at least in the US is essentially impossible.

I’ve had these issues during high intensity GPU usage on an nvidia gpu. It’s the only times REISUB didn’t work and I’ve had to do a hard reset.

Not much I can contribute other than don’t rule out a nvidia driver problem.

It’s the plugins that cause me grief. Especially any that use ilok or weird licensing software.

I’m a fairly advanced user of gnu Linux distros at this point in my life. Fedora is no where close to straightforward for gaming. Bazzite is plug and play set and forget. Is it frustrating to deal with flatpaks and osm-tree instead of simply using a standard package manager? Sometimes, sure. But for an absolute beginner there really is no better option for gaming as a fresh convert from windows.

Audio problems and nvidia drivers can be an absolute nightmare on almost all major distros from Debian to Ubuntu, to fedora if you don’t have an absurdly advanced grasp of the processes underlying.

Bazitte takes all of that out of the picture. It’s absolutely not a meme distro. It’s perfect for an average tech literate person.

I use arch btw, Debian, fedora, Pop, lubuntu, Ubuntu, and a half dozen other distros on a daily basis across a handful of devices. So I’m not daily driving Bazitte, but for gaming and general purpose computing there’s no simpler distro imo and I’ll die on that hill.

Okay. That clears up quite a bit.

It absolutely does and I’m not remotely interested in trying, but I’m also curious. There’s large communities and major repackers involved.

I’m hoping somebody from this community has an experience with that community they can share.

The gluetun wiki’s command didn’t work for me, so I used yours and it worked flawlessly. Thank you.

The wiki uses {{PORT}} and it seems {{PORTS}} is the correct variable.

I second this. Had nothing but headaches with duplicati.

Try Borg.

This has been such a depressing trend over the last few decades.

Fresh bright-eyed startup with a passionate creator develops some interesting and innovative product.

Gets bought out by FAANG, turns to shit and stops working properly or gets discontinued, and primarily functions as a spyware device.

This is fine if the post is something insanely low effort.

But I do worry if this ends up being too aggressive.

One of the things that made reddit so awful is how over moderated it was.

I don’t really take issue with dozens of posts by newbies asking the same basic question over and over. I used to be one and am occasionally back there again if I start a new hobby. Hopefully newcomers don’t get pushed off by overly sensitive moderation.

It would be helpful if you could provide a hypothetical example of what is considered a “low effort” post.
