Are there any Windows-exclusive programs you use?

For work I heavily rely on the Adobe creative suite (Photoshop and Premiere Pro specifically). I maintain Linux servers (and develop for them) and maintain Linux desktops at both home and for work, but the lack of any alternatives to Photoshop specifically has resulted in me still daily driving Windows (VMs really hamper workflow with regards to GPU passthrough and although I've successfully set up Looking Glass on my workstation in the past, running 2 gpus isn't practical). Yes I've tried the alternatives and while Premiere Pro has usable alternatives, Photoshop does not. GIMP is incredible given that it is FOSS but the UI and feature set is almost unusable (for me at least).

Bad-At-Privacy Car Companies Now Have to Answer to the FTC

ah crap. I don't use all the "Uconnect" garbage on my 9 year old Jeep, but it does appear though the dealer can collect (read: steal) info if I bring it in (I do maintenance myself but I have brought it in for recall fixes before). As far as "smart" stuff goes, I do connect my phone via bluetooth but I run GrapheneOS on my mobile so hopefully this mitigates some stuff. I've always thought it was just cars with data connections and cameras/self-driving modules that were the problem (at least in my understanding of networking vis-a-vis my background in network development, but then again cars run different firmware)

Ever since adding TLS/https to HA, my Venstar Thermostast disappeared

Reply in thread

I tried that; it re-paired but then disappeared after about a day or so. Figure there is something going on with my NAT/Avahi setup, but this shouldn't be an issue considering it worked before I added TLS. Maybe there is a setting in HA that I need to adjust.

I'm not as familiar with the networking configuration options in HA. I'm assuming I have everything set up correctly since everything else works as intended. I'm running it as a VM in Proxmox and my background is in network development so naturally everything else on my network is installed in regular linux vms/containers behind nginx. Is there a specific config file for https or is it just the usual HA config file?

How much of what you self-host do you keep LAN only over making accessible across the internet?

few days late here, but that pastebin had some really good feeds 🙏 I noticed the OPML file was labeled FreshRSS and I also use FreshRSS. So I fixed up the feeds and configured FreshRSS to scrape the full articles (when possible) and bypass ads, tracking and paywalls.

I figured I'd pay it forward by sharing my revised OPML file.

I also included some of my other feeds that are related (if you or anyone else is interested).

Some of the feeds are created from scratch since a few if these sites don't offer RSS, so if the sites change their layout the configs may need to be adjusted a bit, but in my experience this rarely happens.

I had to replace some of the urls with publicly hosted versions of the front-ends I host locally and scrape, but feel free to change it up however you like.

Have you installed invidious via docker? Every time I build an image and try to install it (either using the official repo or the custom from yewtube), I get errors that the video can’t be played, any

been running it in docker for over a year now with the docker hub image. I'm assuming you got to the app site page based off of what you described. I'd imagine it may be something related to the video quality/encoding option? Does the metadata come through when you search for a video? Also, I find Invidious tends to be (rightly so) particular with the TLS stapling option, so if you don't have tls or a proxy in front of it, then make sure it's set to off (happened to me with self signed certs and nothing would play)
