  • Not at all. I didn’t mean to imply it was plagued with issues, but I did run into them every now and then. Nothing I couldn’t ever resolve either but it’s still not something I’d recommend to a novice unless they are open to potentially breaking their system in a way that may be unknown to them.


  • I exclusively use Debian stable. I ran unstable for a while but in general I never felt like it gave me anything I needed. I also do not recommend running unstable unless you’re very familiar with Debian and are easily able to work out issues. They didn’t come up often, but they did come up.


  • Hm. Well I certainly agree that privacy invasive stuff is absolutely unwelcome but I’m also a pretty big fan of backup cameras. I bought a 2023 and while it does have the “infotainment” and backup can, outside of that it’s all quite dum and everything outside of like bluetooth paring and general infotainment stuff is all physical buttons.

    So really my point is while it is unusual, even brand new vehicles can manage to avoid the privacy nightmare.








  • Machine wise anything will work. Give yourself a chassis with room to add more disks down the road or just build your storage setup in a way that gives you what flexibility you need (though that tends to come with sacrifices).

    I use Nextcloud for general file syncing between devices as occaisonal small file sharing.
