Anyone in these comments claiming there is a big difference between “gaming distros” and any other is flat wrong.

Any distro works. It’s about the initial experience they want without having to fuss about changes. You can switch Desktop Environment on any distro easily, none of them offer massive gaming performance differences over the others. It’s subjective. For a beginner, don’t recommend immutable. That’s pretty much it.

This generally referred to as Key Rotation. It applies to everything from SSH keys, to API keys in running apps.

There are automated ways to do this with ease, but it’s very simple to do with a single script, and some sort of secure key/value store (bitwarden, Vault, etcd…whatever).

The process is basically something like:

1. Create a script that runs on cron to check for a key at your k/v store at an expected location, like /ssh_keys/host1-private-12.1.25 and /ssh_keys/host1-public-12.1.25
2. Deploy this script to all machines you wish to regularly rotate keys on and ensure running properly
3. Generate new keys and put them in your k/v store at some versioned location/path like /ssh_keys/host1-private-12.21.25 and /ssh_keys/host1-pub-12.21.25
4. Update your local script that regularly grabs these updated keys to point to the new version uploaded, bonus if your store can symlinkto some other locations like /ssh_keys/host1-private-current
5. Wait X period of time to ensure all hosts get whatever key they need

Your script can clear the old keys if needed but simply validating them in the access change serves the same effect. Up to you.

Idiots. Now our government is being grifted by these asshats. They had to do it NOW of course, before anyone competent could reject it.

All the same. There will be no appreciable difference in any of them at the level you’re interested that can’t be tweaked and tuned from the apps you use.

Edit: though if you want long running game servers, a small minipc that draws a tiny amount of power is a good way to continuously keep the server portion running without wasting a ton of energy. The Intel N100 or the Ryzen 5 (forget which) can both run below 12W, which is about the same as an LED light bulb.

Unifi is fine, but pricey. It will definitely be above and beyond an ASUS as far as performance, simplicity, and features go.

So true

If you’ve not been paying attention to their other random products, it would seem this is unlikely.

They just jump from random thing to random thing and collect money along the way, draining the coffers with their C-level titles. Absolutely bullshit.

Nobody is going to touch that. Make builds available from a gitrepo maybe

Pretty much got it. Any other static routes you setup will be static to the new router only, but otherwise that’s pretty much it. Devices with static IPs don’t participate in DHCP, so it won’t cause a conflict. Just make sure DHCP is disabled on the new device.

The default gateway for the new device needs to be your existing router in order to get to the internet. Then when you create a new WG connection, you ensure all traffic that gets passed to this new device forwards through the Wire guard tunnel.

PC > WG-router > existing-router > internet

You need a router or a proxy. A proxy would be annoying, so a router is preferred.

If you don’t have control of your edge router, just get a cheap Pi-type device, install OpenWRT, setup your VPN connections, then create a route on your network to point at this new device for whatever you need it for.

If you simply want to use it at-will for certain things, you can put a proxy on it.

As to your other issues, it sounds like your WG connection is just dropping, in which case it won’t automatically reconnect by default. OpenWRT has plugins that can monitor that and reconnect when it drops, or you can script it pretty quickly as well.

LLMs aren’t going to make you good at your job.

If you lacked coming in and relied on this bullshit, you’ll suck even more going out when they figure out you can’t have a conversation about the thing you were hired to be an expert on, buddy.

Good luck to you.

LLMs are useful for summarization. That is it.

How often are you needing a summary of the thing that you’re browsing at the moment?

Am engineer. Know zero professional people in the engineering community who use AI browsers, and very few who even touch AI for anything aside from docs or stats.

In my personal life I know zero people who use these browsers. I think this is just panic from the higher ups at Mozilla who have no idea what in the fuck the company should be doing or is about, even.

Start making tools to give to people to combat this bullshit from the EU. Build a USABLE and decentralized chat app that people can actually use FFS. Build something like Proton and ACTUALLY BECOME SELF-SUFFICIENT.

Others have eaten your lunch because of this exact thing. Do better.

You have an external HDD, so just use it as a temporary shuttle for your files if you don’t have enough space on your SSD to make it all fit comfortably.

I’ve never seen this “just” happen, but have seen it during events like switching from headphones to speakers and such.

You may also have your app volumes linked to your master channels, meaning when you lower the sound on your master with something like a key combo, then it lowers the individual app volumes as well, which is generally not something you’d want enabled.

Apps at full, and using PCM/Master channel for general volume is pretty much the “default”.

Literally explained in the link.

Unless there is an above average drive controller on board, it wouldn’t be getting out into read-only and still accessible without triggering an error in online drive checks.
