While most have examples in their readme's on Docker hub and Github, not all of them do, so I sometimes have to hunt down an example buried in their git repo somewhere. So a searchable page for popular self-hosted app docker compose files would be welcome.

I don't think I've seen such a page anywhere else.

You can set up your own server, so it doesn't have too.

only place to get Rustdesk is from the developers.

Shouldn't it be like this though. Rustdesk is in the AUR, which downloads the source from Github, like a lot of other software packages does. You can also build it yourself.

The developers behind it are effectively faceless

https://github.com/rustdesk/rustdesk has contributors listed, so not exactly what I would call "faceless". Sure, there is not really any real names on it, but having real names on Open Source projects in github is not the norm.

Please elaborate on this. What risks are introduces?

David might be using git's send email, which he likely has set up to have a max line length of about 80, because that's what the kernel developers require.

There's probably an efivar that reads the current microcode version.

Libquotient just added cross-signing support, which works in Neochat if it's build against the new version. I'm not sure what else was missing from E2EE support.

Most of the KDE apps cost money in the MS store. But you can compile them yourself if you want it for free.

As far as I know, only the kernel module was open sourced and in doing that Nvidia moved a lot of stuff from the driver, to the firmware/software part of their stack instead. So you would still need those, which are not open.

While the RockPro64 is great if you are looking for something ARM based, I will recommend the x64 based Odroid H3(+).

Mine has an nvme as OS drive and 2 sata SSDs as storage drives. It idles below 10W and uses like 15W under load.

Can recommend.

As far as I know, Windows 10 licenses are on the motherboard/BIOS, so changing the harddrive should just work.

I have heard some talk about the license getting disabled if you switch some hardware in machines as it no longer can identify it as the same machine.

But is it running at the same time as a an OS or is it just a device without an OS running, sharing storage?
