Guacamole in an LXC container and a virtual desktop in another.

Requires no client side software, supports totp, lets me do remote admin on weird stuff like printers and home routers.

VPN and public trackers gets you more shows and films than any human could ever consume. I’m not sure why any other method exists.

It seemed like the easiest way to store multiple years of data in a format that wouldn’t change or disappear.

I found it super easy to work with as a never-went-to-school programmer (in the rime before claude).

Used to be 200watts bang on but the latest round of updates bumped it up to 210Watts. Everything is on a UPS and I pull measurements from that into an RRD DB (because I like to make my own stuff). It’s kinda cool to see how heavy disk use or CPU intense tasks will increase power draw by up to 50W, or some times or when the power drops off sharply I know my NVR container is not working because 6 ffmpeg tasks all stopped at the same time.
