Was looking for this comment. Donate your plasma to KDE!

  1. I'd be fine with any. Trying Fedora, or maybe Debian. But I'd rather set up networking at the qemu level so the vm only has access to what I want it to.
  2. I don't know how it would work, but I can create a new device id and make a new wireguard conf file. I don't know why this wouldn't work with any other conf/interface on my host.
  3. I want this to be physical router agnostic, as the host is a laptop. Only the vpn and host should be exposed to the VM.
 

I am trying to create a KVM/QEMU/Virt-Manager VM without exposing my IP/internet connection to it. I pay for a VPN subscription, and I typically access it through wireguard configs that integrate with my distro (Fedora 40 Workstation) and DE VPN menus. From my understanding, as I have them set up now, I can enable one of these configurations in my settings, and all of my traffic is routed through the VPN, except for my local network.

I want this VM guest to have all of its traffic sent to the VPN as well, with the exception of some connection between it and the host, so I could still access it from the host for utilities like ssh.

Is it possible to achieve this? When I looked online, it seemed to require some CLI configuration of IP routes, and I didn't feel confident not understanding the changes I was making, as I want to make sure it is impossible to leak; it just shouldn't have any access to my normal network. If my VPN is disabled on the host, then it simply shouldn't be able to access the internet.

Flare isn't feature complete but you can run it in the background for all notifications.

I'd imagine the drm would ruin that plan. No HD streaming.

I think a server is for streaming the audio to different devices. They don't want to stream from phone to the player (or the other way around). They just want to be able to browse library and control playback from their phone.

 

An aquantance of mine has a CD collection and wants to rip it. They don't want to stream it over a server but rather store it, say, on a hard drive connected directly to their speakers/receiver.

While they **don't want to stream ** it wirelessly to/from their phone, they do want to control selection/playback.

Kind of like a remote controlled jukebox or, well, a really big CD player.

I am thinking there's probably some raspberry pi project to play on-device music library that has a remote control library plug-in over LAN. I'd also like there to be a backup option, like a Pi GUI so they could see their library on the TV.

I'm envisioning an interface similar to the retro game players or kodi.

Does this exist?

I much prefer Windows to MacOS. The fact it is missing decent tiling is a nonstarter. It's too inflexible for my workflow.

And sure, Windows can be maddeningly inconsistent, but what really destroys the experience is the constant ensh*ttification. I know a lot of people here hate everything about Windows, but for me, it only sucks because Microsoft designs it to suck.

Not only are there ads and (some) first party lockin, I cannot trust they will continue offering updates, paywall feaures, restrict more functionality, or insert stuff like AI to mess up my workflow.

I used to think reliability was just about stability and bugginess, but now I think it is about trust as well.
