Have you looked? Almost all software on flathub (definitely the majority) lists aarch64 (ARM). So yes, most things work.

Again, proprietary software is the main issue here. Open source software is pretty easy to recompile.

I understand qemu can emulate x86 in those cases, with a performance hit.

Most applications are/can be compiled for arm. You just need the right repo or to compile from source.

Raspberry pi’s are very popular and are arm based already.

You don’t need a translation layer unless the software is proprietary and the vendor isn’t willing to compile for arm.

:q!

I tried it and it didn’t work well for me (can’t remember why, it was awhile ago).

Looks great. I’ll probably wait for a flatpak and try it out.

I’ve already automated Restic with bash scripts and systemd timers but… used to use Vorta with Borg and did like having a GUI.

I do with Mobius and it’s usable. I have a Synology NAS always there at home to sync to though. (Mobius syncs 1-2 hours per day in the background but it’s dynamic and not predictable thanks to Apple).

If I didn’t syncing between iOS devices would probably not work very well.

Yes instant syncing with iOS requires you to open the app if you can’t wait. I’ll often open Mobius if I’m working back and forth to make sure it syncs instantly.

You could probably create a Tailscale vpn network (or something similar) and setup Syncthing to use the Tailscale address of your laptop.

Obsidian + Syncthing is what I’ve settled on. Not perfect, but the best I’ve used.

Works great. Just remember syncing is not the same as a backup. Make sure you do backups!

That’s not what passkeys are in many implementations. Look up Google/microsoft/apple passkeys. That’s what people mean when they say passkeys.

You’re thinking of a device like a Yubikey, which is a great device.

Passkey is on your device though?

It doesn’t kill the point of 2fa. It’s something you have… you have your device. If you didn’t you wouldn’t have the TOTP code.

The something you know (password) is much more likely to be breached and stolen. That is what isn’t tied to your device. You probably want the second factor to be linked to just the devices you have.

I use KeepPassXC for desktop totp codes. I’m sure there’s an Android app to use with it. (I use KeePassium on iOS). Edit: maybe look into KeePass2Android

You can sync with Syncthing for offline. I keep the database in the cloud but with a key on each device (not in the cloud) that’s needed to open it.

The owner must immediately remove road salt? The rust belt is nothing but 3 piles of road salt in a trench coat for half the year…

I’ve never installed a driver on Linux… that’s a windows thing? and how the hell is Linux the one that needs more ram. What in the world are you talking about?

Learning nix might be worth it on a server.

Then update after 5 years 🤷🏻‍♂️

It only matters if you want support after 5 years. Just upgrade to a new release if you don’t need 10 years. If that’s a hassle, get the free subscription for 5 machines and you get 10 years.

Seems reasonable!

Which seems completely fair. This is a silly article and too many comments here aren’t understanding this.

If a business wants 10 years of support then yeah they should pay as it’s cheaper than upgrading.

For personal use just goddamn update after 5 years geeze lol.

Edit: this person’s blog post just misunderstands the situation. See here for actual release info and when ESM starts for each release. 5 years standard as of 24.04.

And you can get the extra 5 years for free anyway with a free subscription for up to 5 machines.
