I was put off by ComfyUI, seems awfully complex. How is your experience?
Any suggestions to start? I have Fooocus installed now

Tips on speeding up remote connection to personal server?
The maximum internet speed you get is the speed of the slowest link in between your house, your ISP, any other network in the middle, and the ISP you are using to connect your remote device to the internet itself
On top of that, put tailscale. Assuming packets go directly between home and your remote device, then tailscale should not impact. But if the packets do go trough a tailscale server, like you have no public IP address at home, or CG-NAT, then that will be the bottleneck most probably.
Tailscale on itself isn't a measurable overhead.
In general, for home network speed, consider your home UPLOAD speed (as that will the seen as "download" speed from outside) not the download speed, which is often many times faster.

No, really, wireguard encryption overhead is negligible unless you have a really old CPU (like a Pentium100 or something).
Whatever slows down your N100 is not wireguard per se, probably some tailscale overhead going trough their servers.
I have a fairly dated rented server, with an Atom D510, 2 cores, which is 10 years old, and accessing it over wireguard or not, I can still max out the network bandwidth without any visible CPU overhead.

Which phone should I get?
Lineage os is android. You just said I want a want a Toyota or a Corolla....
Anyway I suggest Nothing Phones. Unlockable bootloaders from the factory, no phoning home required. And great hardware.

Fake? As is? Vibe coded? Or just old style UI? Have you ever tried stuff like XFCE or even TWM?

Plex price gauging any users they have left
Been on jellyfin since day one. Works fine, UI is great and gets the job done. TV UI maybe not top notch, buy usable. Mobile UI just fine and usable.
Also, exposed on the internet (reverse proxy, OIDC, https the works) for years now with zero issues whatsoever as well .
There are a few users always throwing thrash on jellyfin, maybe pissed off users that paid for Plex, or Plex shills that like to denigrate jellyfin, I don't know.
Just ignore them.
Jellyfin is perfectly usable, yes you need to setup port forward, VPN or whatever, but it's exactly our target audience so move along and stop bitching, Plex shills.
Stay with Plex, use jellyfin, whatever fit your bill.
Anyway plex does not fit my concept of self hosting to be free from cloud lock ins.

Yes because a 28yo good looking female who dresses is a less than professional way is clearly an experienced and trustworthy financial advisor on something simple and safe like future trading...

France swelters in heatwave as temperatures look set to hit 40C
It's reached 37° here in north west Italy today, in the countryside. Granted, it's summer, but it's also unusually hot for the month.

Back then, have you ever pirated movie rentals onto DVD / VCD or ripped them?
I Remember listening to my first mp3 even and being blown away by the sheer quality of a 128kb mp3 over low end sound blaster shitty output compared to home recorded tapes from radio ....
My first CD-Rom burner paid itself, literally, within weeks. Best investment I even done. But after I covered the cost (400.000 lire) I only ever made backup copies of my preferred Linux ISOs for myself, too much perceived risk.

Does anybody know what's going on with Calibre Web Automated? [Solved]
There is an active fork which job is to accept public patches before they are accepted in cwa. The fork acknowledge that cwa development speed is not that fast, privilege on stability.
I switched on the fork happily

I fully respect your comment, and I don't doubt there are good reasons behind Plex. I choose to use jellyfin because I was put off by the corporate product resell approach of Plex that goes against my self host idea, so I never used Plex and cannot say anything bad about it.
But I find annoying and even suspicious that every time there is a Plex or jellyfin discussion a few voices always denigrate jellyfin like it's a no good choice for lack of features or dubious security and such.
Yes guys (not talking to you in specific) I understand that jellyfin lacks those features, many people don't care, and who do care they already know.

Bluesky just verified ICE
(Not American here)
While i agree fediverse is then solution and i don't use bluesky, i don't see the issue is recognizing ICE as verified.
After all ice is a government agency of the USA whether you like it or not, and should be verified if there is a procedure to do so.
No i don't like ice and i do not condone what they do, but that doesn't change the above statement.

F-Droid and Google's Developer Registration Decree | F-Droid
Disclaimer: I have been a maintainer for LineageOS and a long time user.
Whoever advocates for LineageOS don't get it. Using LineageOS will not fix any issue like this.
Already today using LineageOS means give up on banking apps, ID apps, and even McDonald's and some games like Pokemon.
Yeah because Google with play intergrity now demands valid keys that gets invalidated as soon Google detect they are used for such usage. The cat and mouse game suddenly got much harder to beat.
So no, using LineageOS will soon be possible only with secondary devices and not your primary that you will need for your actual stuff to work.
