I use Proxmox and don't use Truenas. My setup is basically to install Cockpit on the host server via apt-get and then the 45 Drives cockpit-sharing plugin. This provides the NFS and Samba sharing I need and use. I host Home Assistant in a VM and Docker containers in a few LXC containers which host about 10 containers each. Then, in combination with https://tteck.github.io/Proxmox/ you can set up pretty much anything you need from there.

This is on in computer terms, ancient; a 13 year old Dell Optiplex 990 with 16gb Ram and software such as Authentik and Vaultwarden from different dedicated LXC containers. Never have any issues with overload of the system resources or running out of memory. It's pretty much rock solid.

I have a policy - only those who should know my phone number is family and they are very strict about asking me before giving to anyone who asks. So, it's usually not given. Then for businesses and other places which require a phone number, I use a Google Voice number. From doctors, to banks, or other places. I rarely get the scam calls.

HOWEVER

I get around 6-15 SPAM text messages daily. All 100% Political for Trump, Biden, Harris, or whatever scammer tries to get me to support on my non-shared number. A lot try to guilt you into "donating" to them too! I feel bad because while I won't fall for it, I know many people already do. I have to use Google Messages to effectively block those automatically.

I have AT & T and complained to them about it to be told that I could change my number, but it would be $40.00 to do so. That's a big scam in itself and I refused.

Of course it's there now!!!! Goes to figure!!! I was able to update the other machine to 6 and mine to the point release to 6.0.1 I haven't checked the other one yet.

extra-testing in Arch? Not at least on my end. I'm still on 6.0.0

I'm honestly surprised that Arch hasn't pulled plasma 6 out of unstable and into the mainstream yet. I have two Arch boxes and have mine updated using the unstable repo and extra-testing. The other machine without. The one without hasn't picked up the Plasma 6 release yet.

Well...since Google is primarily an Ad company.....

I just plug into the Private DNS settings dns.adguard-dns.com and run ad free. As for bloat- mine was infested with Facebook and other apps preloaded by Samsung, but it was easy enough to remove by long pressing and deleting it. They fortunately didn't make them system apps.

With that said, if you are handy with android-tools such as ADB, you can place your phone in debug mode and issue adb commands to disable system apps. Pretty easy once you get the hang of it.

Tailscale is but since you already tried them, maybe headscale that's supposed to be the self hosted version of Tailscale that someone wrote, so you have better odds at less latency! https://headscale.net/

Zerotier? Not sure -https://www.zerotier.com/ can speak more to this.

If behind CGNAT and forwarding is not an option, Headscale, Tailscale or ZeroTier may be an option. I use Tailscale and it have ZERO forwarding on and can access anything on my network when connected through it. Think of these as Wireguard on Steroids. :)

As Another Proxmox user - I've been doing well with it. I use these scripts for the LXC's which has been fantastic:

I also can log into it from the web as it's secured by Authentik, SSO OIDC login when Away from home and need to manage it. Rare! But the option is there! :)

YAY!!! FINALLY! From the site:

"KWin’s “Active screen follows mouse” setting is now gone; now the active screen is always the one with the cursor on it, or the last one that was tapped with a touchscreen. This turns out to be much simpler and it’s what we think most people wanted anyway, hopefully alleviating complaints about OSDs and new windows opening on unexpected screens"

That was one of my most annoying issues, but learned to work around it. But on the rare occasion where I end up clicking and I don't realize that my mouse was on the the other screen, this will be a huge improvement. (especially when I have my Always on top windows for my job)

Mine are where they are stationed:

Front Door Lamp, Patio Door Lamp, Desk Lamp and Bedroom Lamp. We don't have many obviously:)

So, left of couch as you look at it is next to front door so light there, other side, by patio, you guessed it patio light. And the rest are pretty much bland like that.

The older IDE drives with the 5.25" platters and smaller ones make great wind chimes. The laptop ones are a bit .ore fragile due to thinner material. Years ago, we used to do this with a few of them.
