What are some KVM-over-IP or equivalent solutions you guys would recommend for guaranteed remote access and remote power cycle?
Currently, I have SSH, VNC, and Cockpit setup on my home NAS, but I have run into situations where I lose remote access because I did something stupid to the network connection or some update broke the boot process, causing it to get stuck in the BIOS or bootloader....

What to do with a beefy server?
Alright, this may be a bit of a loaded question. But I figured it may provide good insight to both myself and to others.

I’m thinking the...
If someone's pronouns are any/all, what should I use or how should I determine how to refer to you and what pronouns to use?
I want to be respectful but if they say they don’t care what pronouns I use for them, that feels like it puts the decision on me to choose what to call them and I guess I would probably default to “they” because choosing a gender for them feels weird… am I wrong?

Change my Mind! - I like the linux,but some things keeps me staying on Windows.
Recently, I switched from Windows to Linux, tried many distros, and ended up with the Ubuntu rolling-release.

Star Trek and The Orville, which is better/worse?
I asked this question sometime ago on The Orville’s subreddit, and surprisingly got mixed responses. I assume most here however, are going to prefer Star Trek, specifically TNG that its aping from. For the record I do prefer TNG as well, but rewatching The Orville, after you get past its kinda sucky first season, I really...

Should I install Linux on my smartphone?
I have a Samsung Galaxy J3 (2018) smartphone which currently has the stock Samsung Android OS installed on it. I wanted to install an Android “distro” that doesn’t spy on me, like Graphene OS, but I couldn’t find a ROM for it. Since I would probably need to compile AOSP from source code anyways, I though, why not install...
