I have a Nova 7 as well. The good thing is that the settings are saved into the headset itself, so you can just set it to how you like in Windows and have it be remembered in Linux.

I setup a small Windows VM and I passthrough the USB device whenever I need to change the settings, but I haven’t needed to do that since I got the headset a year and a half ago. Of course, if you need to constantly change settings, yeah it is less than ideal.

Docker to rootful podman is easy. Docker to rootless podman can get annoying due to the file permissions and slightly more limited networking

That’s good to hear. I think self-hosting is one of the strongest use cases for Linux. I am a big self-hoster myself so I am glad to hear he’ll still pop in every now and then and give us the latest news in the space.

You may want to consider dockerizing your services just for maintainability and isolation from your host. I recommend something like Nginx Proxy Manager to serve as the “main entrance” for your docker network and to handle Let’s Encrypt for you.

Yes and no. It’s great for hiding your IP and preventing DDOS attacks, but it does require you to use their certs, which means they technically have access to your data. Cloudflare is pretty trustworthy, but the risk is still there.

Sigh, all I want is some decent privacy-centric cloud services like Proton. Bonus points if they’re self-hostable. I am currently paying Proton for a premium plan, but I would have gladly paid Mozilla instead for similar services. They keep trying to monetize the wrong things and doing a poor job at it at the same time. None of their VPN and email aliasing stuff are competitively priced or featureful.
