KDE has quite a few programs under its umbrella now.
Is there some sort of standard interop between them?
Kinda like how all Adobe stuff play together.

Direct render manager

I’m currently reconsidering using a couple mikrotik for some layer 3 hardware offloading.
Not really homelab, but close.

I have a project that gets integrated with another network for an event. I’m thinking of using 2x crs504 (cause I’m using mlag for servers, think vrrp or whatever for “public” (it’s all internal) ip) and seeing if I can get l3hw working as a router.
While I could sit on a subnet of the “host” network, having a gateway that traffic goes through allows me to test and prove everything for my system in my homelab, with just the final integration being a do-in-a-time-crunch problem.
I’m already using the crs504s for networking (I bought them ages ago, thinking 25gbps was going to be as easy as 10gbps. It’s all running at 10gbps), and this saves having to use something as a router, cuts down on rack space, all sorts of benefits. I think.
Anyone have any experience with mikrotik l3hw offloading?

My actual homeland is just a NAS and some networking. It’s a small flat, it’s just me. Not complicated, no need to give me more headaches!

Related by the virtue of both being TLAs?
(three letter acronyms)

At least they designated America as a sensitive country. I find that funny.

Tbh, it’s not Googles place to take sides in border disputes.
The mockery and criticism should be directed at the US government. Google is doing what they have always done.

Likely sole maintainer, not sole contributor

KDE do a lot of good software

For point number 2, security through obscurity is not security.
Besides, all issued certificates are logged publicly. You can search them here https://crt.sh/

Nginx Proxy Manager is easy to set up and will do LE acme certs, has a nice GUI to manage it.

If it’s just access to your stuff for people you trust, use tailscale or wireguard (or some other VPN of your choice) instead of opening ports to the wild internet.
Much less risk
