Looks neat, but I can’t seem to find docs for non-container workloads. I’m using microvms and using it with them would be cool.

If you want an easy firewall option for a gaming PC, I’d recommend looking at Portmaster

Fair enough, I just don’t want others to read that and assume the software is unreasonably hard to learn.

If you haven’t tried FreeCAD and are just going off sentiment you’ve seen online, I’d recommend you give it a try. It’s a good program, just a different workflow. Lots of people just refuse to learn it, instead trying to force a workflow from whatever software they used before. When I was a complete beginner, I was able to make multiple functional prints in a couple of hours with MangoJelly’s videos. I was also trying both it and Onshape at the time, and preferred FreeCAD in the end.

It’s really your only option besides Blender if you want something FOSS. The most recent release also improved a ton of things, and it’ll just keep improving.

You could also take a look at AstoCAD, a soft fork of FreeCAD by one of the maintainers. It’s 4€/month a month to get the binary, otherwise you’ll have to build it yourself. The money of course goes towards helping develop FreeCAD. The main upside is UI polish, but that comes at the cost of having a different UI than pretty much any tutorial online, so I’d still recommend at least starting with FreeCAD.

Edit: fixed wrong word, grammar

Sounds like either the video you watched was badly made enough that they didnt even use the out of the box configuration, or you were using a completely different freecad version than in the video. Either way that hardly sounds like freecads fault. I watched MangoJellys guides and have had zero issues making models.

I have all my services behind a reverse proxy and use Crowdsec to monitor and block automated attacks. I also have pocket-id for auth, I use SSO for apps that support it and others just require authentication to access them at all. The docs are pretty solid, it was easy to set up.

Make sure you know the services running on your server, the most likely way you could get attacked is by just leaving some vulnerable or misconfigured software running and accessible.

Also I’d probably set up account lockouts on any software you can, I know Jellyfin supports it.

And even with the large majority using bsky.app, the true decentralized nature of Bluesky is anyone can host the data server that contains the data for their account. Even if you keep using bsky.app as your frontend, your data can be kept on a self hosted PDS.

Bluesky is decentralized, its just decentralized in a different way than Fediverse apps. A lot of fediverse people assume all decentralization would look like ActivityPub, so they just say its fake decentralization rather than learning how it works. (I know because I used to do the same, then I realized how little I understood it from this great blog post, and have since learned a lot more about it.)

There is already alternative infrastructure available (i.e. Blacksky and a variety of other applications hosted using ATProto (you can see a few here: https://bsky.social/about).

You can use any of these apps while maintaining full control of your own data by running your own PDS, or using any community maintained PDS. If you already have an account on the Bluesky PDS, you can migrate it, retaining all of your data. If you dont feel like migrating yet, you can also just export your rotation key, which would allow you to maintain control of your account even in the event that the Bluesky PDS does become evil or something.

Speaking of ATProto, sprk.so is a similar upcoming app, although I think its going to be more similar to TikTok than Vine.
