They’re on your eyelashes.
Fair points.
The biggest motivating factor for my use case was that it was more than happy to run off a USB C cable tapped into my solar bank’s 12v line. So for boondocking, it was a great solution.
I can confirm that the one I used 3 years ago could stream Netflix and HBO from browser, no problem. It also handled local files in VLC like a champ.
I even installed Steam and played a handful of non-resource-intensive games on it.
I’d buy another in a heartbeat for use as media rig. This time I’d install barebones Debian on it, instead of med-weight MX like I did prior. It’d probably perform even better.
There are some really wicked PC “sticks” (for lack of better word) available these days. I used one from MeLE flashed with Debian as a mobile entertainment center in my travel trailer.
After I switched and got used to a tiling WM, it’s really painful to have to use a floating one.

Nah, I’m good.
In my case root partition is encrypted, and the keyring has to be unlocked every time you reboot.
I use a luks encrypted USB drive for automated backups. My backup script mounts and decrypts the drive automatically, using secret-tool to grab the encryption pass from my keyring. It then creates the snapshots, and automatically unmounts the drive after.
There might be better methods, but this one works well for me.
If you bring a book, I’ll sign it.
Like, any book?
Most of those sites and apps are ad and malware ridden cancer.
You might be overthinking it, or I might be underthinking it.
When I hear “webring” I think of a simple list of sites, curated by the ring creator. And all members have a badge on their site, complete with a few nav buttons.
It was never broke, why fix it?
What about https://webri.ng ?
I’m down.
That’s fair.
I own 8 domains. Only one has HTTP/S ports open. The rest are for email and other services.
I just use Bitwarden’s 2FA functionality.
Do you want lawlessness? Because this is how you get lawlessness.
+1 for Hostpoint. All my servers are in Switzerland as well.
This doesn’t give you anxiety?
