It'll also ignore the default firewalld rules. IIRC it uses the internal zone instead

It would probably take someone to sue them, but they would have to implement it.

It's probably still more efficient to keep a 192k opus and a 320k mp3 around than one flac.

I don't know how good it is, but for Turing and later GPUs there's a new official open source driver being developed. You'd likely have to use a more bleeding edge distro to get that.

VR works depending on your headset. Index is fine, Oculus doesn't work.

You could make a usb stick of your desired distro and test everything without permanent changes before commiting.

With Mozilla Location Services going away soon, I'm wondering at the legality of using the Apple data to seed a replacement.

You could use BTRFS, ZFS or BcacheFS to do compression on the filensystem level, but it's not gonna compress video files or other already compressed media.

Without knowing what was being hosted, the only surefire way would be pulling a complete disk image with cat or dd.

If you wanted to stay on a similar system, RHEL 9 would be a good option or one of its "as similar as possible" like AlmaLinux.

Other common distros for servers are Debian, Ubuntu server and Suse SLES/OpenSuse Leap.

There's Onedriver to connect onedrive on Linux. Though it's been a while since I last used it.

Yeah, they're more power hungry, but they're also way more performant than a pi 4.

How well does the current linux app for Proton VPN work on mobile?
It might also be easier to get an ARM64 version than a completely separate app.

Maybe package that for Ubuntu Touch, however their packaging works.

VAAPI is the "standard" interface for hardware en-/decoding on Linux. It should work with any GPU using the open source drivers and mesa.

I don't know how QSV can be installed; AMF, the AMD equivalent, is limited to their proprietary driver.

Besides maybe confusing the codecs, hardware encoders, especially the AMD ones, are always less space efficient than software encoders.

If you want to convert video for long-term storage, please use a software encoder.
