  • Struggling to get PI OS working on a 3B

    Jump

  • if you want em headless, you might wanna try dietpi (https://dietpi.com/). It's a debian base with an active developer maintaining a bunch of very useful utilities designed to make managing pis and SBCs as simple as possible. Better yet, it's designed to be extremely minimal on system resources, and strips out stuff like the display server unless you choose to install it.

    Ive had it running on a homeserver on a pi4b for years now and it's rock solid.

  • Self host websites

    Jump

  • Maybe for hosting a blog or something but I wouldn't self host anything more important than that. Even then, Github pages support custom domains on their free tier so you don't even need to do the hosting in that scenario

  • FediDB has stopped crawling until they get robots.txt support

  • that website feels like uncovering a piece of ancient alien weaponry

  • China's SpacemiT develops "VitalStone V100" 64-core RISC-V datacenter CPU on 12nm

    Jump

  • Do we have cores beyond the performance of the c910 yet? Im hoping to see RISCV get to ARM A72+ this year

  • Marge Sort

    Jump

  • lmfao why did this teach me how merge sort works compared to my years of university.

  • PixelFed has increased the Fediverse's monthly active users by over 40% in the last few weeks, how do we feel?

  • Bluesky doesnt have an algorithm for its discover feed (the default), or at least it didn't used to have one, but provides an API for building your own feeds which lets you do whatever you like.

    Bluesky's big growth was from the fact it was, like PF, easy to use and easy to navigate, and all the content was on one namespace.

    Lemmy is an outlier imo. You can interact and repost and find content on different instances easily. Mastodon made following feeds from different instances nearly impossible which turned me off it permanently even if I believe in its value over Bluesky.

  • Tumblr just confirmed (again) that it will be enabling ActivityPub

    Jump

  • migrating my entire dying website to wordpress so I can use a protocol that is not only open source (negating the entire need to migrate to wordpress) but will immediately defederate with anything even vaguely corporate is surely something

    expect the entire domain to be hijacked by a supplements Ponzi scheme by the weekend.

  • I think they might have softened the TOS for that?

  • Milk-V Oasis development has been paused indefinitely (RISC-V mini ITX computer) - Liliputing

  • indigenous silicon fabs can't come soon enough for China. At least some with the output and nodes to rival TSMC

  • You'll never see it coming

    Jump

  • yup. though if the laws of physics change then that also means the laws of physics holding your atoms together are gonna be blended up into a soup at the very least

  • Removed

    Many smaller drivers or fewer larger drives?

    Jump

  • Yup, already keep an off-site copy of the important stuff via Hetzner but my Linux ISOs are the big data hogs

  • Compact, low-power NAS on a €500 budget - Advice needed!

    Jump

  • That'll do the trick. Get yourself a powered USB hub and connect a bunch of SSDs to it, then jam the hub into your mini PC. You've now got yourself a NAS in all ways except looks.

    Jump

  • Honestly a raspberry pi or equivalent on diet pi (https://dietpi.com/) is probably a good start. Though with the caveat that you should use its internal utilities to create an off-site backup of your most important data via a provider such as hetzner.

    Cheap, low power, and diet pi is Debian with some tweaks so it's very easy to set up either bare metal or via containers (as others have said containers may help manage things easier and safer in the long run).

    For storage, you'll probably either need an externally powered USB dock (30ish EUR) or a powered 3.5inch HDD dock if you go this route as the pi cannot reliably power even one SSD from its USB ports - you'll risk IO failures. The same will come from any setup that includes any low power SBC just for stability. In my experience it's still less than 15W but you need stable power for IO stuff on SSDs.

  • AI in reality

    Jump

  • AI is just one of the many technologies that only exists to pollute the earth and maintain the illusion of scarcity within the labour pool. the added benefit of a bunch of new faces to circulate the same hoarded wealth helps too.

  • I love new features

  • I pray for this to be real because it's the perfect syntactic sugar for C++. The kind that you'd think makes sense if you didn't have to write C++ for anything more complex than a high school project.
