I mean yeah duck those people but if my enemy makes the honestly best quality vpn out there I’m going to use it.

Thanks for the input and your time. I’m actually using docker for the yams setup and totally forgot that makes the underlying tech fairly irrelevant

I’m using lmde now for it but I’ve had a few headaches and I get harassed by a lot of updates anyway. Getting the Nvidia970 video card to work was a a bit of a pain but it seems to be ok for now. Hosting yams with plex on it now but kinda scared to go much further with immich or an audiobook library until I’m confident I have the right base.

If I want a Linux box that can function as a home server but also fire up Steam and play using my old 970 if I want to, does cachy fit?

So now proton is ok and Mullvad is bad? I thought proton was ostracized for the same reasons?

People need to follow what they believe is necessary but I ask this: how many degrees of separation from your money is far enough to enjoy a product without having to worry about where the money is going? Eventually someone you don’t agree with will touch it.
