  • The 'if this goes down, I riot' self-hosted app

    Jump

  • I don't really have any of those. My stuff goes down and I later get around to restarting it. I'm a wimp in not self hosting more important stuff like email. But my media files are on a local disk rather than a server.

  • I think the fediverse needs Android like hardware packaging

    Jump

  • The appeal is very limited IMHO, especially for this application. It might be more interesting for secure phones or similar.

  • I still can't make any sense of that. How about a 1 click vps install, or a disc image for a raspberry pi if someone wants to host at home? Special hardware is a nightmare to build and use. Is there ONE person here who would buy and deploy a thing like this? I know I wouldn't.

  • Catalytic hand warmers (they run on lighter fuel) also still exist fwiw.

  • what would you do with an old dell server?

    Jump

  • Depends on the specs. If it's really old the power consumption will cost more than you'd spend on newer hardware. I have such a box sitting at home doing nothing. It's cheaper to rent a hetzner dedi.

  • Just get a vps it still counts as self hosting if you run all the software yourself.

  • Wtf this makes no sense. Just use the existing software.

    Do you follow YouTubers that are part of the "Bread tube" ring? Why/why not?

    Jump

  • I'm not a connoisseur, I just figured if I baked at home a few times and liked the results, I'd get a pushbutton machine. Those sound very convenient. I suspect Breadtube isn't really about baking though. Who knows.

    Jump

  • I've heard the term but don't know what it is. I have been interested in baking bread at home though, as store-bought bread seems like a scam these days. Maybe I could look for some videos.

  • ISO Project Ideas For Wyse 3040 & 5010 Thin Clients

    Jump

  • That leaves you with 17 more of them though.

  • ISO Project Ideas For Wyse 3040 & 5010 Thin Clients

    Jump

  • These are mini PCs right? So you want something with a room full of humans or some type of local online service. Anyway, not a purely computer project.

    Library terminals and game room come to mind, but neither are for installing at home.

  • Does anyone have experience cutting their own hair? Should I cut my own hair?

    Jump

  • I do it, handheld trimmer in front of a mirror, not gonna win any awards but it works.

  • Hard drives on backorder for two years as AI data centers trigger HDD shortage — delays forcing rapid transition to QLC SSDs

    Jump

  • I haven't been following trends but I just looked on newegg, and HDD and SSD prices look about where they were before, or maybe a bit higher. It's nothing like the Chia craze where every drive of any kind was snapped up by crypto miners. Or the simliar thing further back where a flood in Thailand(?) clobbered a factory so there were big shortages and price spikes. Right now you can get drives if you're willing to pay for them. There just hasn't been the usual downward price trend.

  • Backups of Backups

    Jump

  • I use remote encrypted backup and it's been good so far. Hetzner Storage box, around $11/month for 5TB, pretty reasonable. If you want a lot more storage you can pay somewhat less per TB.

  • Linux 6.19 Will Better Deal With Corrupt Minix File-Systems

    Jump

  • That's the idea, minix was a 1980s thing that still has some legacy support.

  • Hard drives on backorder for two years as AI data centers trigger HDD shortage — delays forcing rapid transition to QLC SSDs

    Jump

  • Ram shortage too. But most users should avoid QLC.

  • This FS should probably be moved to user space.

  • MPV: The Ultimate Self-Hosted Media Solution You're Probably Sleeping On

  • Youtube up til now has resisted using something as brutal as an on-screen recaptcha, because of the friction that creates for regular users. If they've finally gone that route, it seems difficult to fix with simple automation.
