You can pick up an Intel A310 single slot GPU for $100 and it has AV1 encode, which is something that the igpu QSV doesn’t have.

That’s still an Intel product though…

I found a GitHub issue suggesting that they warn users about the risks associated with native encryption, it has helped me understand the situation better: https://github.com/openzfs/openzfs-docs/issues/494

Those caveats/issues are definitely worrying. I don’t think I have enough expertise to comment on them, unfortunately.

The wiki also says that native encryption is “unofficially discouraged by the community” and I’d be interested in learning more about that, but there’s no source for that statement.

If you’re interested in ZFS, I think it’s definitely worth trying out on a secondary machine. There’s a lot to learn, but I’ve found it worthwhile.

I’ve been using ZFS for the past 3 years without any major issues. For my server, all my media is stored on a group of HDDs in an external HDD enclosure using RAIDz2. I currently use Proxmox, since I wanted a stable OS and it has support for ZFS baked-in.

My personal laptop has root on ZFS, running Arch. ZFS is a kernel module installed separately in this case. Since Arch is a rolling distro and I like messing around with it, I appreciate running a FS with snapshots where I can easily rollback when something breaks. Plus, ZFS supports native encryption!

I tried others, stayed with Tidal for a while, but unfortunately had to come back to Spotify. The playlists are just much better and you have access to tons of good user-created playlists.

Awesome! Just updated without issues, I only had to make one tiny change to my config.

That is a lie! My Brahmin friends have told me that only racists would claim otherwise.

Self-hosting is really fun, but you could become obsessed and spend all your time on it!

Seriously though, check out these resources:

• https://awesome-selfhosted.net/
• !selfhosted@lemmy.world
• https://reddit.com/r/selfhosted (Reddit, but still very active)

I personally self-host Plex, Navidrome, Audiobookshelf, Sonarr/Radarr/Prowlarr, qBittorrent and more.

I prefer starship

They’re different, but according to its readme, Cromite includes “security enhancement patches from GrapheneOS project”, so I assume it contains Vanadium’s changes as well as other improvements.

Posted this above, but it might interest you as an alternative to Vanadium:

Bromite hasn’t been updated in a while, so you should at least switch to Cromite if you’re not switching to Mull. It’s a fork by a previous Bromite contributor and includes some improvements, like a bottom toolbar and adblock plus (so normal block lists, not Bromite’s less customizable ad blocker.

There’s also Forge for GNOME.

DAVx⁵ is fire-and-forget (if you have a reliable server). Nextcloud usually requires work to set up and maintain, but there are lots of resources out there to help. Tons of people use and love it.

Have you tried the fork? It lists one of its enhancements as ‘“Battery eater” problem is fixed.’

Yes it is! It’s really an amazing app.

I use Fastmail for my email and calendar. Their server also supports CalDAV task lists, but unfortunately they don’t have any web UI for tasks. In the past, I have self-hosted Nextcloud for tasks, but ultimately dropped it as I had some issues with my server at the time, so it wasn’t reliable, and I found Nextcloud to be too heavy and slow for my needs. I’m now considering self-hosting Vikunja.

Do you use DAVx⁵?

I use many, but DAVx⁵ is essential to keep my contacts and calendar in sync.

A few other favourites:

• Mull: a privacy-hardened version of Firefox
• Tasks.org: fantastic task app, works well in combination with CalDAV task lists synced with DAVx⁵
• Syncthing(-Fork) for sharing notes and files between my phone, tablet and computer.

What?! But according to my extended family (Brahmins), Modi is great! /s
