Thanks I realized during this search that even full-flavor WearOS smartwatch only has a slim selection of apps that don’t require the phone anyway.

Thanks, I think I’m following you. Gadgetbridge will let me use the apps without my phone?

Wow! This is great! Thanks for sharing.

This would be great for Emulation, for example converting .bin + .cue or .iso to .pbp, .rvz etc.

OK now that’s cool! Thanks for sharing.

Thank you that’s probably too big for my tastes but I appreciate the insight.

“Home Server” more than “NAS” so I guess, your typical docker apps, but no LLMs or anything. I would like at least 4 hard drives, preferably m.2 but SATA is fine too.

Silence is the only important aspect, SATA is fine. I see a lot of options out there much smaller than ATX. Here’s one example: https://www.lincplustech.com/products/lincstation-n2-network-attached-storage but like I said I am more curious as to what everyone around here is doing.

Silence is the only requirement, I just want to know what’s out there that other people like. I prefer small. I own SSDs I am interested in the NAS itself.

Give me the smallest and fastest that you can come up with as long as it is SILENT

Those are awesome lol what would be a good system to run them in?

EDIT: I feel I need to say I’m not actually going to pay for that, 4x4tb is probably plenty but it’s still awesome.

That’s not true anymore I’m running a VERY compact setup in an old Asrock Deskmini and the fan is SILENT,the only noise is the HDDs.

Thank you this looks great

Read the thread I linked it’s a near universal opinion on Lemmy

This was actually very helpful perspective thank you

FYI I recently have been looking into this and from what I’m told by Lemmyers it’s actually basically pointless to use encrypted messaging on normal Android because Google has full and complete access to the entire device.

Might as well use whatever app is convenient and assume it’s public or message from Linux

But other comments are saying the exact opposite, that Google has full and compete access to the device and its hardware at all times.

So just to confirm the answer to my question question: Its pointless to use encrypted messaging on an Android device?

Someone at Google could hear what a device’s microphone is picking up at all times?

Odd. Signal notifications absolutely include the content of the messages received.
