Does anyone know of manufacturers and sellers of short depth server cases for ATX and smaller systems? I'm looking to add hosts to my rack but I'm only finding E-ATX full depth (680mm+) cases with HDD hotswap trays.

Basically what I would like to get a hold of:

• 2U height

• 6-12 bay HDD hotswap

• About 550mm depth

• ATX or mATX support

• Available in EU

• Quality, not aliexpress junk etc

This seems excessively difficult to find

Does anyone know if there is an estimate release date planned for openSUSE Slowroll stable (i.e. moving out of "experimental" stage)?

I've been trying to find any kind of information on this but from what I can find there hasn't been any Slowroll news in several months.

Is anyone here running N100 mini ITX rack server builds? I'm very curious about whether it's feasible to get the n100 boards into a 1U rack server with a bunch of 3.5" HDDs without everything overheating.

My own use case would be to build several dedicated servers, one for music, another for backups and one for camera NVR with Frigate. In theory the N100's TDP and performance would fit the bill nicely, but I would love to hear from real experience.

I think I saw a very popular self hosted app for replacing Strava or Garmin Connect with your own service a while back, but I cant for the life of me remember what it would have been called.

Does anyone here recognize what I might be thinking of?

For those out there already running #cosmicdesktop, do you know if there is a scratchpad workspace implementation? I always run a terminal in a scratchpad/overlay so that I can bring it up on top of whatever other workspace I'm currently on.

The same question applies to #KDE on Wayland which I recently ended up with on my work computer, can anyone recommend a solution to get a #terminal scratchpad on KDE?

Fellow #linux users out there with webcams, what cameras are the best ones today with native Linux support? Would love to have something where I don't necessarily have to involve OBS Studio. Preferrably below $200

Wow, the response here was quite staggering!

I hadn't heard of Fastmail and a few others before, very interesting to look into these. Reflecting on my own use case I feel that Proton is a pretty good fit still, it's cheaper than Fastmail and I don't need 30Gb of mail storage. If I recall correctly Tutanota does not support offline mode which is a dealbreaker.

Those who have already migrated over to another provider, did you use some tooling to migrate existing emails as well?

For the #privacy conscious out there, which email providers do you prefer? I'm starting to near the point when I can #degoogle and replace Gmail with something else but I'm still undecided.

I'm mainly looking to get away from Google's scanning of inboxes, with a service that doesn't break the bank.

Tell me about your experiences, is Proton the way to go or are there some sleeper services out there that I've overlooked?

(Good desktop and android clients required, thunderbird support valued)
