I have similar thoughts. I use bandcamp for smaller artists but I would recommend nicotine+ on Linux

My thoughts exactly. In Europe it's part of our social welfare

Level1techs tends to go more into the enterprise server side but Wendell always has some gadget to show off.
I'd also advise to keep an out on the maker space, like raspberryPi or other SBCs, there are inexpensive machines and plenty of guides for various applications which don't require much Linux knowledge if you're already doing server stuff.

I've seen this recently - https://youtu.be/5ZQra087xOU?si=uJUaC1wv26z2Z7oB
Haven't looked up a lot on this subject but have a look at https://pikvm.org/

I know there's an answer but there are also inexpensive IP KVMs if you wanna go that route.

Have a look here, it might help. I can't help much, I have KDE and Hyprland but I setup theming in KDE and it also sets in Hyprland.

Well, you're already on a Debian based distro and not Ubuntu. Let it do it's thing in the most boring way :D

The LTS kernel is still version 6.6, till 12/2026, so you're up to date. I wouldn't worry.

This is the future we were promised, dumb machines doing work 24/7. I'd change it to Debian but you stick with whatever works best for you.

Debian runs on most cloud servers, it's pretty secure. The outdated packages refer mostly to apps, which is the reason why Debian is so stable. No frills and boring. Documentation is plenty on the internet and for server space it's probably the most compatible OS.
I'm running Debian 11, kernel 6.10 on Odroid. Arch on my desktop.

Keep replying, be civil and people will engage with you. Most of us switched to Mastodon to avoid engagement algorithms

I also pay for it and watch it on my android TV. And I completely agree with you. But for now it's my main source of TV and I mainly follow channels I subscribe. I don't listen to music on YT, i do follow some live music channels
