  • I empathize with this view - but I doubt this will ever happen. Ignoring the user training bits, and the legal bits (who is a mod, how do they do stuff), you need to have someone dedicated to fighting this though the IT/Security gauntlet. Now keep in mind im private sector (so it’s slightly different) - but we in IT generally have dimm views of hosting WebApps.

    All that said. Once one local gov does it the potential for it to spread radically increases.


  • Let’s see.

    • A meda stack (plex/jellyfin, sonarr/radarr, sabnzb, etc).
    • an instance of foundryvtt
    • a local mirror of 5e.tools
    • a “tilt pi” ( Bluetooth hydrometer that supports webhooks/apis)
    • ad (I need to decom this and just use aad)
    • some raspberry pi’s running octoprint.
    • pihole.
    • “general networking stuff” (wire guard, openvpn, network monitoring, etc)
    • nginx as a reverse proxy.

    I’m sure I’m missing stuff but that’s a basic list.





  • As someone in IT I have mixed feeling about this. Linux machines make great servers, ok workstations, and God awful corporate endpoints. Say what you will about Microsoft and windows, when you need to manage policies impacting large number of endpoints, active directory (when configured correctly) is a beast of a solution.

    Now if we are talking about someone at home browsing the web? Use whatever gui/os you like. I do agree, more people should try Linux just to be exposed to something different.
