Anything can be a home server right? My Nintendo Switch server

Hey yall, like most of you I got into home servers by repurposing extra hardware I had laying around. I figured I’d document this now as I’m finally hitting limits of what this little 4GB RAM Box can do for me!

This is a Nintendo Switch first edition running the switchroot Ubuntu project. It has a GUI, but it also does serve as a genuine server in addition to a display panel for various things.

This server performs a lot of functions for me:
- Home Assistant Server
- Jellyfin/Media Server
- Tailscale Exit node
- SSH Relay
- Syncthing brain
- Alarm (connects to Google homes for speakers)
- Just a useful, always-on box for cron jobs and the like!

Cheers and happy home labbing folks!

Does anyone know of any good annotation software for Wayland?

Hey all! It's as the title sounds

I use Linux at work (lucky to do so) and I want to up my presentation game by being able to annotate at an OS level. I can annotate in software like Canva and whatnot, but I was curious if there was something out there that would let me annotate over everything, browsers, presentations, Slack, etc.

Curious if something out there exists for Wayland compositors (I use COSMIC DE)

Ideally a keyboard-driven flow with shortcuts for clear and enable and disable and all that useful jazz

Appreciate the help!
