What kind of Telemetry do you allow?
I generally feel fine if I can preview the payload and it doesn't contain too identifiable stuff. Even better if you can redact fields. NewPipe has a simple implementation of this where it just opens up your email client with a pre-filled body.

Bazzite won't display to my external monitor
Reply in thread
Since you're now able to see the laptop screen with the monitor connected, try changing the monitor's resolution and refresh rate to a lower value. Plasma should hide options which are incompatible with your monitor, but maybe it's not doing that for you. (right click on the desktop and choose "display settings")

How to catch houseflies?
Glass cups work unfailingly for me. As far as I know they don't see very well, so once, I tried slowly lowering one over them, and have been doing it since. Nothing else needed, just wait for it to land near you on a hard and even surface. They so far have not noticed it until the cup was fully down. After catching one, I slide a thin paper/something under the cup, and take the whole thing outside to release it.

That's the most cursed toolbar I've seen and I love it! Kinda like vertical tabs were at first sight I guess

Awesome! If you experiment with different resolutions and the screen doesn't turn on again, wait 15 seconds. Without confirmation, plasma will restore the previous resolution on its own.

Trying to recreate a version control system for my music collection, with one crucial difference ... 🤯
Don't know of a solution that does this, but you could solve it with a two-step process. First, rsync the files to the server as-is, then use a background job on the server that converts lossless to lossy every hour or so.
Storage is really cheap these days though, why compress lossy in the first place?

Bazzite won't display to my external monitor
In desktop mode, you can press the Super+P (Win+P) keyboard combination to bring up a menu to choose which screen to display on. Keep pressing P while holding the other key to move forward in this list, then press enter. If you keep doing this, eventually you should end up on an option that includes your laptop screen. Alternatively, you can make Bazzite forget about your monitors by deleting the file it stores screen profiles in, then rebooting: https://ryan.himmelwright.net/post/reset-plasma5-monitor-config/

Not if they don't track you. As far as I understand the fabled cookie law, you only need to have that notice if you're using cookies in a way that's not strictly necessary for the site's functionality.

Did something happen with NextDNS? Last I heard they were pretty good among the non-selfhosted bunch.

What's the deal with Docker?
Reply in thread
The most popular way of configuring containers are by using environment variables that live outside the container. But for apps that use files to store configuration, you can designate directories on your host that will be available inside the container (called "volumes" in Docker land). It's also possible to link multiple containers together, so you can have a database container running alongside the app.

My coworker had this issue recently, and he had to screw around with different cables, docks, and profile settings on the monitor itself for half an hour before the better refresh rates showed up
