Personally, i would use VPN, Pihole for Local-DNS Records and a simple Local Reverse Proxy to address my Network-Services. I wouldnt open anything from my Homelab to the Internet.

I am using the same i use for my Smartphone. Fairbuds XL via Bluetooth.

Looks interesting. But i am used to gitea. I use it for Years now on my workplace and in my homelab.

Maybe i will try Forgejo in The future.

I have Seen a post that it should be able by now, yeah.

Edit:

Didnt host my own instance yet, but it looks like you could build your own.Would also make sense because its v1-beta release.

Well than the possibilities are endless for OP. Let The Linux-Party begin :P

You could check for Linux support. I suppose it runs on an Arm-Processor.

Maybe it runs PostmarketOs.

Edit: If you can run Linux on it:

Selfhosted:

• Gitea (If you are a programmer)
• Stash (Organized NSFW-Content ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) )
• Nextcloud
• Simple-Server ( NAS/SFTP/SSH)
• MeTube (Youtube-Downloader)
• Kitchenowl/Mealie (Kitchen-Organization / Mealprep)

• MotionEye (Security-Cam-Monitoring)

On-Device:

• Libreelec/Kodi (Media-Device)
• Retroarch (Retro-Gaming-Station)

Also you could try a software named “Bottles” (https://usebottles.com/download/ ).

It has a pretty simple GUI and you can click your configs together.

At first you have to define a “bottle” which simply represents an virtual environment for your Windows-Application or Game.

You can define which Windows Version you want to create and it asks you, if it is a Desktop-App or a Game you want to run. And based on that it will create an environment prepared for your Individual situation.

It also supports proton.

Wow… Just learned about that NOW. I wanted to play some games today and wondered why my account doesnt work nor the “forgot password”-Function…

Fuck Meta. Fuck Oculus… Fuck this whole Enshittification that is going on lately…

Is there ANY Way, to get my CV1 to run Without an account?!

Update 2: We are together for this weekend again.

I’m on a waiting-list for therapy now.To overcome my jealousness and maybe learn to improve my communication-skills.

She wants me back now, but on the premise that she will move back to her Parents house. Feels like a breakup “light” for me… Because you all know… She doesn’t make any romantic actions with me in public. Doesn’t tell colleagues about me…And the situation with sex 2-4 times a year…I don’t know… Doesn’t seem to be “it” anymore.

For me, our bed time, with all the little rituals were pretty much the single source of energy, were I got love and affection. And obviously she wants to reduce that also now…

Thinking to break up the relationship myself now… :(

Thank you, thats really kind.

Ja ich bin Deutscher. Das macht es deutlich einfacher zu schreiben. Tja 6 Jahre einfach weg… Ist echt scheiße.

Ich danke dir auf jeden Fall dafür, dass du das alles gelesen hast und dich mit meiner Situation beschäftigt hast!

Und vor allem auch für das Angebot!

Aber ich glaube ich will jetzt erstmal alleine sein… Ich fühl mich im Moment noch wie betäubt…

Ich konnte nicht weinen, wie beim ersten Mal. Sie dafür diesmal schon.

Meinte Sie hätte mich lieber erst jetzt kennengelernt. Im Moment sieht Sie in mir nur noch die Fehler die Ich am Anfang unserer Beziehung gemacht habe. Meint aber auch das es unfair ist, weil ich mich schon deutlich gebessert habe und man das auch sieht… Es nur halt nicht reicht.

Sie will mich nicht verletzen, aber Sie ist nicht mehr glücklich.

Sie will es sich heute nochmal durch den Kopf gehen lassen und mir morgen mitteilen ob es diesmal endgültig ist…

Zum Glück ist das Remaster von Oblivion released worden und ich hab noch Urlaub. Schlafen kann ich jetzt eh erstmal nicht mehr :/

Update: We just broke up.

Thank you for reading all this and being honest to me. Really appreciate it!

I will try my best.

Yeah I agree. That is one part of the problem, because I try to reach her and talk about things and she is really fast annoyed about all that.

I respect her boundaries and normally she does respect mine.

In the meantime she texted me, but not to this context. She just ignored it. I will drive in 2 hours to her parents house and will talk about it than.

I really just want to be a part of that for one time. So he knows that I am still in a relationship with her. And after that she can met him alone for some time again.

Because as mentioned, she doesn’t tell anyone about me (apart from parents and close friends. Kevin isnt one of those close friends). She wants that our relationship is a private thing.

Its just… That really bad taste, because he just did cheat with a person who was in a relationship. I do not trust him. And also will make him clear, that I am still in a relationship with her.

Yeah, I feel not completely sure in my relationship with her. But I am 6 years with her now.

That being said is, because I will do and drop anything for her. I encourage and motivate her on an daily basis. Whereas she doesn’t seem to mention me by her colleagues and maybe Kevin.

I met Kevin a long time ago, but I don’t know if he knows that she is in a relationship with me.

She says, that she doesn’t mention me, because our relationship should be a private thing. And if people don’t know that you’re in an relationship, they are nicer to you. She says she won’t talk about me with colleagues to get an advantage of it in her career.

We can continue with questions, if that helps to understand my situation. I would greatly appreciate it.

Exactly. Her Parents arent at home until Sunday. They would have the entire house for them alone.

She is extremely afraid of becoming pregnant. And she says my… Device is a little to thick to be enjoyfull for her. She says it hurts more than its joyfull.

But yeah. I am okay with this, if that means I can be with her. I really love her.

If you have any App you used before and isnt available on Linux: You can try to install the .exe-file with a Tool named “Bottles”.

Each Programm you run with that tool gets its own virtual Space, so if you mess something up, you can throw that one bottle away and just create another in its fresh New environment.

It has a clean UI and you can play with all kinds of different configs to get your Bottle to run. You can choose between different Windows Versions for example.

Under the hood it uses Wine and Proton.

Pro-Tip: Start Programms via the UI in “Terminal-Mode” so you can See potential Error-Messages which you would normally not see, if you just run the Programm.
