From their FAQ. So it seems there are free 802.11n APs…

If the device has a DSL modem or an 802.11ac wifi chipset, the libreCMC project can’t support these devices. There are currently no fully free (libre) 802.11ac or DSL modem chipsets

Are there open source APs? I was under the impression that everything required binary firmware (even if running something like OpenWrt).

It’s called CIDR notation

Ya I’m confused why the GitHub repo isn’t updated to 115 and it’s archived…

The Thunderbird team periodically does this and holds back upgrades for existing installs.

The Flatpak author is waiting for Thunderbird’s approval before publishing 115.

You can’t go wrong with a 2-bay Synology 🤷🏻‍♂️ yes TrueNAS is more “selfhosted”, but the Synology is way easier.

There’s also Infisical if you don’t want to run Vault

I personally use Ansible to deploy my .env files to my Docker host. The .env files are encrypted in Ansible Vault and deployed to the server as chmod 400 so only I can access them.

Lemmy.world is run by an actually competent admin who has experience running other Fediverse software.

I like Flatpaks for running proprietary software (Slack, Discord, Spotify) because I can use Flatseal to lock down permissions for each app.

I also agree with someone else that said Flatpaks don’t really integrate well when they need deep system integration.

I really like that Flathub now has a verified section (as opposed to some random person packaging the application).
