I use Maalit (or is it Maliit? I can never recall). It works and has an extended symbols button, just like a mobile phone osk. It doesn’t have a proper configuration panel, it’s instead configured by gsettings or something, I have never actually tried. It also as a quirk with a swipe-down gestures that is used to disable it, and is sometimes activated accidentally by the palm of the hand. But apart from that, really nice experience overall.

I can recommended the latest KDE Plasma, I use it on my 2-in-1. Some quirks here and there, but very good in general, especially if yoh set up gestures to switch between workspaces. I also tried gnome but that was ages ago.

CAN WE GET MUCH LIGHTER

Sure, I’ll be happy to help

Is forward auth from reverse proxy supported in this fork? It isn’t mentioned in the README, so I assume it is not

Second this. Works really well in a stable distro like Proxmox. Unfortunately however the community is only on discord. With some other patches linked there you can also use the gpu both on the host and split in vGPUs for virtual machines at the same time. I used it for some time on Arch Linux host + Win10 VM for CAD. Worked fine, but frequent arch updates borked everything often. On proxmox I never had such problems.

You know what, I like it more than LinkGuardian. Great suggestion!

For however needs it, LinkGuardian on Android (izzyondroid for fdroid) offers the same thing!

Does this mean a hotdog is positevely invariant?

I actually never investigated. My guess would be yes

No, it’s because, in the very specific fault I described, at least one of the caps on the supply line are actually shorted. I don’t know how rare it is, I’ve had it happen on a couple laptops, both Dell now that I think about it

Does the power supply turn off, entering short circuit protection, when plugged into the laptop? If so some capacitors on the supply line may be shorted. Usually they are all in parallel so to find which one is shorted go by trial and error: remove each shorted cap test continuity outside the mobo. If it beeps it’s dead. You should be able to power the laptop without that cap.

Note that caps under/behind the CPU/GPU appear shorted even if they are working when the laptop is off, do not touch them

Also if you’re considering new hardware already I really recommend looking into surplus enterprise gear. I run my whole lab on an R730XD. It holds a ton of drives, has an IDRAC (I can’t live without it now), ECC for extra peace of mind during ZFS scrubs, and they hold an insane amount of inexpensive RAM. They’re fairly cheap on eBay or from refurbishment companies. Bring your own drives with warranties though, used drives are a headache. Servers like this can be really noisy though, I keep mine in the basement.

I’ve briefly considered it but it is out of the question for me. Not enough space in the house and enterprise gear is way too noisy. This setup will probably sit next to the TV in the living room so it has to be as silent as possible.

I had thought of that, I didn’t really like the idea of using a third party service to access my machines.

Also I didn’t mention in the post, but, while my ISP gives me a public IP, I only use port forwarding to wireguard into my home networks. My services are exposed via a vps hosted on oracle cloud free tier free, which forwards public traffic to my server via another wireguard connection

No, I wanted something that I could upgrade if I wanted in the future, especially for disks. I still have 4x 3.5’ slots available in the case and as for sata ports on the mobo I can always by a controller to plug in the pcie slots

I was not expecting a Polynerdeia meme in here, nice

A daffodil is not a broadsword, BUT I STILL WON THE LAST ROUND!

Baikal works wonders

I second this
