    As a fellow alternative Ubuntu user, one additional difference is the LTS support schedule which is shorter for Ubuntu alternatives. For example, Xubuntu 24.04 is supported until 2…

    They mention Zen 2 and 3, any info on Zen 1? Would it simply apply as well?

    That's a good list of reasons, however it seems the biggest concern is if you run a dedicated DNS service on your network. For a simple home network setup, as long as naming confli…

    They list under hardware requirements "a powerful graphics card with at least 6 GB VRAM is recommended. Otherwise generating images will take very long" Does anyone have any idea w…

    I've been doing just that with a Raspberry Pi Zero W and a USB ethernet adapter. The eth adapter is set to dhcp, and the wifi sets a hotspot. The wireguard adapter is routed/from t…

    Not OP and certainly not in the anti-IPv6 camp. I'm wondering though: could you build a case that under IPv4, a misconfigured NAT would only result in lost connectivity for nodes b…
