Disabling GNOME Tracker and Other Info

GNOME's tracker is a CPU and privacy hog. There's a pretty good case as to why it's neither useful nor necessary here: http://lduros.net/posts/tracker-sucks-thanks-tracker/

After discovering it chowing 2 cores, I decided to go about disabling it.

Get a DDNS up and running with DuckDNS - Step by Step

Understanding DDNS

In summary, DDNS stands for Dynamic DNS. DDNS updates a DNS name in real-time to point to a changing IP address. This is useful for devices without a static IP. For example, companies like Google use static IPs and IP ranges, which are more expensive than ephemeral IPs and IP ranges. DDNS provides a cost-effective alternative, linking a hostname to a dynamic IP address.

How Does DDNS Work?

To use DDNS, you need an account with a DDNS provider. While some services are paid, they are still cheaper than static public IPs from ISPs. A script or service on your device updates the DDNS server with your current IP at regular intervals to maintain the link between your hostname and IP address. Luckily for us, DuckDNS is free for everybody and relays on donations to keep their services running.

Enable PipeWire on Ubuntu 22.04

This guide is only for original Ubuntu out-of-the-box packages. If you have added a custom PPA like pipewire-debian, you might get into conflicts.

Ubuntu 22.04 has PipeWire partially installed and enabled as it's used by browsers (WebRTC) for recoding the screeen under Wayland. We can enable remaining parts and use PipeWire for audio and Bluetooth instead of PulseAudio.

Starting from WirePlumber version 0.4.8 automatic Bluetooth profile switching (e.g. switching from A2DP to HSP/HFP when an application needs microphone access) is supported. Jammy (22.04) repos provide exactly version 0.4.8. So, we're good.

Based on Debian Wiki, but simplified for Ubuntu 22.04.
