Speaking a dead language would be cool. Maybe teach it to others and read into the history, etymology and people of it. Talk to historians and what not.

Jordbruksverket också. Har en vän som jobbade där ett litet tag och berättade om det.

This is why I've recently started liking religion more and more. There's genuine good moral pointers and good texts to reflect on there.

Sad a loud voice has to ruin it. At least the church here is LGBT safe and accepting which I'm thankful for.

Oh shit, thanks for the reminder

I'm glad my tinkering could be of use to you!

I run my Deck as my primary computer and have been for about a year or so now. About 10 months without any Windows computer or alternative computer around. It's been shugging and tugging away at all my projects where I do audio editing, gaming, voice chat, using my Sony camera as a webcam, editing sheet music through MuseScore, intensive web development and managing my servers.

There's a lot that can be done with the Deck and I'm sure I'm in the 1% if not less of people using it as intensively as I am. I've made sure my Deck has a lock screen and has full disk encryption through LUKS as well which both is important to me since I work a lot on it when I'm away from home.

If you have any more thoughts regarding using the Deck as more of a PC I'll happily share some tips and answer any questions!

I've actually done a tad bit of video editing on my Deck through Kdenlive and in short, it works.

I think a general issue is that Kdenlive tends to crash in of itself a bit. The biggest limitor is probably the lack of GPU based hardware exporting available for the Decks APU in Kdenlive. As well as the 16GB of RAM.

What I specifically did was load in a video file about an hours length, cut it down and overlay some recorded audio to it, sync it up and export. It was sluggish, froze every now and then and crashed a couple of times. RAM and CPU usage was continuously at high. If I remember correctly, the video was in 4K recorded on an iPhone in HDR. At least the source video was, I can't recall if I scaled it down to 1080p or not.

I do want to mention that I'm not running SteamOS on my Deck however. I believe at the time I was running Bazzite and now I'm running Nobara. I haven't tried doing this on SteamOS but I would imagine the experience would be more or less the same.

Will it work? Yes, kinda. Will it be as good as an experience as running it on a full fledged desktop with more RAM, higher end CPU and a somewhat modern dedicated GPU? No, it won't. It'll work in a pinch or if you have time and patience.

Sweet, we've started pirating redditors now too

There is not. But I'd say keep SSH closed on the NAS or whitelist only your local IP in the firewall. I do that and turn it off when I don't need it. It can be a bit risqué messing about with SSH on Synology because of how funky they've made the distro it's running and any changes you make might not persist on reboot or after updates.

It's basically a front-end GUI to Docker, like how some use Portainer. Synology has pretty alright documentation here. If you're on mobile, click the menu button on the top right to view the sub-pages for the docs, was confusing at first to find what more it had to say about it lol.

But in short, to spin up individual containers you can go to the "Container" page. But there's a big lack of control because Synology so I recommend to use Docker Compose under "Projects" for more fine grained control if needed. When you start a project you have to select a location for the project files and you can use dot notation for sub directory and files when doing volume mounting, eg. ./nginx/config:/etc/nginx/nginx.conf.

There's a lot to read on for containers in general and working with them on Synology is a tad different and sometimes a lot of hoops to jump through. But it's definitely nicer in the end than running almost anything outside of Synology's Office Suite through it!

I'd recommend to make a Dockerfile for it and run it that way. It'll be quite a lot easier than to manage installing a bunch of dependencies.

Here's a guide I found pretty good!

Here's a bit of a shorter one too to get some more reference.
