I'm also using ansible everywhere in my home / private infra and lab. Occasionally I get slightly annoyed that I have to open an inventory file or a role var to find something. But in general I'm so grateful that there is one place to find this information, and the same is used to set up everything from scratch.

Is it extra work to write the roles and playbooks? Yes. Does it solve the documentation and automation problem completely? Absolutely. 10/10 would recommend. And for the record, most things I host run on containers, but the volumes and permission management alone make it worth your time.

Too late for that

Storage is not easy when you don't have massive amounts of free land. This is an ongoing debate in Europe, and in one particular country a leaky storage was discovered just a month or two ago. Again.

And there is no guarantee that what we build today is not going to be a massive liability in 50 or 200 or hell, 500 years. But the companies and people who are responsible will not even exist at this point.

What about the storage for the used fuel? This is a massive problem for any country not occupying half a continent.

Man könne auch eine gewisse Zeit crossposten, und darauf hinweisen. Ich fände es super, ein paar communities auf den Server mit content zu versorgen. Diese dann zu folgen = mehr Traffik auf die neue Communities.

You would be better off with a dongle. I have one which supports hi-res audio and has plenty of power to drive my over ear audionerd headphones. Phone jacks and DACs can't ever match that.

It is one of the easier ways to globally configure git auth for private Go packages.

I was considering grabbing a last minute legacy license, but I really don't have a use case for unraid. I need a NAS for storage and a few VMs. And my apps run on generic SBCs or NUCs which I manage through ssh/ansible. So yeah, TrueNAS it is for me as well.

And there is absolutely no way, that I could find, to create or pin a shortcut to eg WinTerm, which would launch it as admin.

You are not far off. In my previous project we attempted to rewrite a desktop app and we started with a skeleton crew. Hiring for the frontend was tough, we got one very good xaml (wpf / winui etc) dev in the first year. Then, in the middle of the corona lockdowns, for 12 months we kept only getting mediocre candidates from across the world, with no relevant experience whatsoever. Then we found our second full time frontend dev, who only stayed 3 months and once he saw how clueless management is, bolted.

Funnily enough the aforementioned manager experts started asking what's wrong and why we 'fail to fill the positions'. We were stuck in the native desktop world product-wise, an unattractive and challenging tech stack with difficult problems to solve, with poor management and low budget. That's what was up. Now I'm happily working on the backend / web / cloud side of things and I'm definitely not looking back or picking up another tech lead position for a project with non existent team to start with. /o\

What are the advantages of using the plugin (Remotely Save) over just using dumb sync with Syncthing? Conflicts I assume?

You know, I don't get offended or anything. But it's impossible to mute / block streamers, and there are some particularly annoying offenders which I just don't want to see when I open twitch. Just give me the option to filter that out and I won't complain again.
