i host a funkwhale pod and load content to it off qobuz and deezer.

I think the idea here is that you are running your own discord, and only people with modded clients can use it because its not approved by discord.

is there any sort of way to have the chat logs be public and searchable? the worst thing about discord being a walled garden is that all the info on it can only be accessed by a discord client.

What you describe doesnt really make sense so ill suggest what i think you really want;

You want your vps to be the wireguard server, the local PC connects as a client this “proxies” your connection so torrent swarms see the IP of your vps.

If you want port forwarding it gets a bit complicated because you need to forward the vps port over wireguard, but this is optional so you dont have to worry if you can’t figure it out.

Caddy doesn’t really seem relevant unless you want to have a domain name that forwards to your home network.

Its not exactly the same thing but link warden let’s you save and archive pages with custom categories.

On Linux most distros do not actually ship chrome but chromium which is the open source version of chrome.

It also comes down to how different groups define FOSS. GNU considers even helper programs (like a package manager or firmware installer) to be “bad” for the user because they “encourage” its use so they dont want them included in GNU approved distros like trisqul or guix . this leads to those “freedom respecting” distros not having things like basic WiFi drivers or support for any 3rd party drivers.

To a less extreme degree but similar is a distro like debian, where there is a “non_free” repository available but users can choose not to enable it.

And so GNU sees having the playstore as a bad thing because its gateway to installing other non free software. Its also safe to assume most gnu evangelists probably don’t care much for chromium either.

I dont ever recall giving portainer my real email.
