Run Arch in a distrobox, done (in atomic you lean hard on distrobox and flatpak).

I feel as though the most logical way about it would be to compartmentalize connections by application, but I wasn’t able to find an easy way to do this. For example, splitting off a browser window and having that exit from somewhere else
I use multiple gluetun containers with connections to various endpoints, each provides a proxy and I use foxyproxy firefox addon to switch between the proxies manually (as well as setting up rules), works pretty well for me.
As to phone, wireguard to your computer will minimize duplicating effort.
Yup, OP has done his time in Arch meaning now competent, probably, time to go to Fedora and relax, close enough to the edge but not bleeding, good QA, For extra chill go atomic, check out uBlue…
Is a VPN needed to keep your ip from being exposed ?
No more so than using any search engine directly, it’s a nice to have. Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good enough.
Is just using an existing searxng instance just less secure then?
By the time you’ve investigated it, you could have stood up your own instance…
Sounds like a them problem then.
Big if true!
podman exists and doesn’t force root…
It’s yours, no issues trusting a public instance with your searches. Pages full of settings to tweak as you like. Less problems with an algorithm ‘helping’ you. It averages searches over multiple search engines that you choose, you can set up your own (or a curated) block list of crappy AI slop sites, don’t like fandom.com or something, gone. Manage your own bangs, e.g. !aa for annas-archive. Pipe it through a VPN with gluetun for better isolation. If you have your head around docker already it’s more like half an hour to set up, so why not?
Can hook it up to perplexica and a local LLM for a fully local AI search that you define, use it as a MCP server, do deep research with it…
I do it with a gluetun container (more versatile) zero issues, but you can just mainline wireguard as an interface if you prefer, also works fine, on bazzite.
Uh, most? do have a compass, mine does. Needs an app installed to use of course.
QMK Keychron, MX Master 3, done. Perfect linux compatibility if you care.
You’ll be fine, make sure it’s a x16 card (vasty majority are), stick it in your x16 slot. Make sure you have enough power, some are pretty thirsty these days (it’s usually on the specs sheet for the card and on your power supply in the case)
You can also upgrade the CPU to AMD Ryzen 3000 series (e.g. 3900X, pretty cheap second hand) by upgrading the BIOS here for a nice performance uplift. Get to at least 16Gb RAM (DDR4, also cheap).
Later, you can recycle this as a home sever or swap to a motherboard that supports Ryzen 5000 series (also cheap these days), which will take all your present hardware and enable CPU upgrade to say 5800X3D to make it a gaming beast (at least for a couple of years).
Yarr !, my experience has been stellar ;) (Gaben: It’s a service problem…)
Usual debug pattern for flatpak is
flatpak run com.valvesoftware.Steam
on the command line, there’s also log files down in ~/.var/app/com.valvesoftware.Steam/data/Steam/logs.
But I also have never needed to use it in anger, great when things just work, no?
I’ve always thought that it should be the relevant ID issuing organisation, with whom the damage to privacy has already been done, might as well leverage it.
wut? I VPN all the time (for niche stuff Lemmy’s not there yet with).
The more people, the better the platform. It’s that easy.
Hard disagree, quality matters as much or perhaps more than quantity. A billion Nazi network is still Nazi, see Xitter for instance.
I’m on bazzite with a GTX980, and it’s been working flawlessly, so it’s not age. I assume you did
ujust sunshine-setup
but it’s worth checking.
Someone just removed many lifetimes of CO2 emissions with a couple of lines of code.
Shame that usage will just expand to fill the gap. Thanks late stage capitalism. Degrowth.
yup, the syntax is (from within the distrobox)
distrobox-export --app appname
