@Angry_Maple As someone who uses Keepass, I highly recommend KeepassXC over the regular release. There is an open security vulnerability that the original devs aren’t really addressing: www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/… the XC release team has mitigated this and has generally been better about improving the UX.

@proycon Proxmox on an HP Z620 (2x Xeon E5-2670, 16 cores, 64GB RAM)
Inside of that I run:
Emby
AMP (game server software)
Moodle (for content development, currently idle)
Home Assistant
Paperless-ngx
Grocy (just installed recently)
+ an assortment of VMs for various purposes

(Edit: for anyone who uses Proxmox: I find the scripts here tteck.github.io/Proxmox/ to be very helpful is quickly spinning up LXC’s)

I also have an OPNSense firewall, a Pihole, and a Synology NAS.

Other than my game servers and Emby, which get port forwarding through my OPNSense firewall, everything stays internal to my network. I’m thinking of learning wireguard so I can remote into my network, but that’s not a high priority.

@alehel @noodlejetski I’ll add that when Twitter first hit the fan there was a large influx of Mastodon users, but it quickly fell off. Perhaps there are more tech-savvy Reddit users who will dive into the Fediverse than did with Twitter/Mastodon, but for your average user we’re not approachable enough yet to overcome the inertia of familiarity.

@owatnext
I’m a debian user primarily; I occasionally mess around with other distros in VM’s on my Proxmox server, but I’m always drawn back to debian when I need a solid and dependable base distro.

@DarthRedLeader
I just tinker with mine, the software just isn’t mature enough for daily driver use for the majority of users, myself included.

@Clbull A highly-upvoted comment suggests moving to Tilde. Is Tilde federated? I can’t find anything that indicates it might be.
