They own the domain instead of you. They can then act as a middle man between any inquiries and you, and as a company, they’re able to shield you from many 3rd parties.
I’m still so upset about Chamberlain disabling my smart garage with all that (I’m not about to use their damn app).
Thankfully the open source community have reverse engineered something but still, now I have to spend $40 because Chamberlain got butt hurt that people didn’t want to use their app.
I think end-to-end refers to the “open source”, not the GPU acceleration. I know GPUs have always been a black magic to get working and so you often have to use proprietary, closed-source blobs from the manufacturer to get them to work.
The revolution that this is bringing seems to be that all that black magic has been able to be implemented in open-source software.
Could be wrong though, that’s just how I interpreted the article.
My domain has me plus the wife, and she’s not willing to tolerate any amount of fiddling or bugs or anything, so we needed something that would Just Work™, and Fastmail fits the bill quite well.
Their features are great, I actually prefer their app over the native iOS app, and they’ve been rock solid since I signed up. I can also have any amount of aliased and I can put all three of my domains on there. Plus they’re not Google which was the biggest thing I needed them to be.
I think they’re referring to Framework’s support for full Linux compatibility for at least Ubuntu, and making sure that the parts they use have first class Linux support and drivers and kernel integration.
Without specific experience, my assumption would be no. Much like when plugging into a desktop computer’s motherboard HDMI port instead of the GPU HDMI port.
Yeah they ended forwarded ports on 2023-07-01. I was pretty sad when they did so and I had to move because I loved what they were doing and was extremely happy with my subscription.
Yep, and if you’re using docker, gluetun can make it fairly easy to set up portforwarding, then you can call the API from the qbit container to update the port forwarded setting.
I don’t have a great answer for you, but hopefully I can provide some ideas that I hope can get your ideas flowing
Use a config file and use the built-in VPN configuration. Not very flexible, but you can be pretty confident it should work.
Use some containers (with docker or podman) to set up a qbit and a gluetun container.
Use the new version of the app for linux if you’re not already.
Whatever you do, I hope you look into the option in advanced settings in qbit to a specific network interface so it only works through the VPN. Unfortunately you definitely right that the Linux app is a second class citizen :/
