It's difficult to do security-only updates when the fix is contained within a package update.
Even Microsoft's security updates are a mix with secuirity updates containing feature changes and vice versa.
I usually do an update on 1 random device / VM and if that was ok (inc. watching for any .pacnew files) and then kick Ansible into action for the rest.
I split my loads (gigity) between the power hungry NAS and a passively cooled low power Proxmox host.
For me, most 24/7 activities are low CPU - like Home Assistant, so it needs to be there, but it doesn't need to do anything.
Other VMs are ansible, uptime kuma, smokeping, etc... the most they use is RAM
Then the (relatively) more power hungry NAS powers up 3 times a day to syncthing everything, maybe upload a backup, and if no-one's using Immich, etc. then it'll power back off again.
The only other thing I have yet to downsize is my pfSense box (still a low powered device, but has fans..) and a Raspberry Pi I use for my Zigbee network.
Depending on how you install things, the package maintainers usually deal with this, so your next apt update / pacman -Syuv or ... whatever Fedora does...
would capture it.
If you've installed this as a container... dunno.. whatever the container update process is (I don't use them)
I setup a standard Arch install, added BTRFS, NFS, SMB, restic (for offsite backups), etc and haven't looked back.
I installed Cockpit thinking we'd need a GUI, but syncthing just works to mirror our laptops & phones with the NAS, and with multiple versions (by syncthing) I'm happy so far
The only thing that I had issues with was Immich and (major) postgresql updates, but that's stablising now. And, TBH, the worst thing was just having to scrap the DB and just let it rebuild it (for a few days...)
I went with BTRFS because I can "see" it with standard linux tools like gparted, clonezilla, etc. So I can backup and modify the NAS OS itself, not just my data.
Apart from updates, I haven't touched it for years.
I'm not a programmer (as a day job), so I don't use vscode, which makes me think I'd be learning to use the "wrong" tool for the job (for me), but I'll take a look, thanks.
Yeah, personally, I think they'd gradually make it db first and then markdown will gradually become an import / export function.
And I don't need colab... my notes are mine. Yeah, there's a few I share (ie home stuff with my partner), but for work, personal stuff, nope.. just me.
But yeah, after ~3 years of almost daily note taking for work, it needs a computer with SSD to find things quickly and can take a while to start on the phone (hence using Markor to edit the .md files directly instead)
To your original post, yeah, single maintainer... but Logseq has how many? And it's stalled really... from an external viewpoint.
I think SilverBullet has a slow steady pace rather than Logseq's fast initial pace and then ... nothing much since they got lots of investment - which someone will want back.
I need a UI that I can navigate links between files / topics / dates, so whilst I agree about the editor point (I use Markor for quick notes / edits on my phone), I need to be able to look up points during live meetings.
And to your last points, yes, I'm trying to understand it, but it's on-ramp is an almost vertical wall for a complete starter like myself... but maybe I'm hitting it too fast
I think you have enough people here stating their pfSense / OPNSense works fine, so I'd guess you have something unique with your setup - maybe it's a dodgy cable, or you're running both In & Out traffic over vlans on the same NIC on your PC and getting problems with unmanaged switches dealing with that...
I had an issue with my pfSense box not negotiating to 1Gb on a Cat6 cable to a switch. I tried all sorts of diagnostics and it turned out to be a problem with the wall socket crimping, so hardware issues do need to be checked... I'm obviously assuming you didn't use the exact same cables as your firewalla...
So, that would play music on the client? Ie your phone? Or can it play through a local DAC too?
