Real question: Is it not possible to install KDE, even though they do not provide an ISO with it?

I've mostly been very satisfied with my InfinityBook 14 Gen7 that I got about 1.5 years ago. There have been some hardware issues (something wrong with the audio subboard that causes the sound from the speakers to go out once in a while, but they sent a new one that I haven't installed yet...). The mic is also not very good (some background noise), and the speakers when they work (which is most of the time) are also quite weak. I decided to spec it out as much as possible, and it does get hot under high loads, like gaming. The case is sleek, but perhaps a little flimsy?

But mostly it works perfectly fine, and it is such a great upgrade over my old MacBook that I finally get to do stuff on my computer now, and run into very few limitations (running newer games and other GPU-intensive tasks requiring more than 4 GB VRAM are the only things). Not to mention that I've had very good experience with their customer service when I n00b out and can't troubleshoot my way back.

It is all free to use, but you will likely have some expenses with the self-hosting. If you do it yourself at home, you require hardware and power to run it on, and you would be well off having some additional backup solution off-site as well that would add to the cost. If you host on a VPS (like I do), you have the running costs of renting that server space.

I recently deleted my Meta-account, and I hope they will be a thing of the past in the not too distant future. Zuck can get fucked.

• I'm using FitoTrack to keep track of running, biking, hiking and walking with GPS-data.
• I have a Xiaomi Mi Band 7 that's set up with Gadgetbridge to keep track of especially heart rate and roughly sleep habits (though not very accurate).
• I use Loop Habit Tracker for various habits I want to keep, not only related to health.
• openScale to keep track of weight data with my Xiaomi Mi Body Composition Scale 2. I think this can use GadgetBridge as well, but openScale works like I want, so I have not bothered trying it out.

For the most part, I try to set up automatic data exports from these apps that is synced with my Nextcloud server, and my plan is to eventually develop something of a dashboard that allows me to easily view historical data from all these sources, but as of now it more a backup solution.

Hehe yeah, this persisted over several days and through several reboots and on two different phones. No clue what changed as I understood iptraf to simply help me diagnose. But a run directly before and after running iptraf for the first time had different results, and now I am reproducing it every time.

Very strange - I just installed it, and as soon as I ran it, the output in Termux went from "Destionation Host Unreachable" to responses from my machine. Outbound pings from my machine also now get a response. I assume this was only supposed to help diagnose and not fix the issue? :p

KDE Connect is still acting up though, but at least they can talk to each other now! Thanks :)

Not a requirement that it is E2EE, as the Borg repo is already encrypted. Guess my knowledge of these services is biased towards E2EE from previous research for use cases where that was a requirement.

Thanks for the tip, hadn't hard about Backblaze before. Very reasonable pricing. Would a good strategy then be to schedule rclone to have it synced, or are there other ways that would be better?

I am on an FP4 and there is nothing sluggish about it.

Don’t you love when you give in and go to get help for something and you can no longer reproduce it after you ask?

It's almost like it's a law of nature...

Out of genuine curiosity from someone who has never used it, what are the features of Android Auto that are so good/useful that it alone would determine whether to use a custom ROM or not?

Here is the output from running that command:
