Also if you’re considering new hardware already I really recommend looking into surplus enterprise gear. I run my whole lab on an R730XD. It holds a ton of drives, has an IDRAC (I can’t live without it now), ECC for extra peace of mind during ZFS scrubs, and they hold an insane amount of inexpensive RAM. They’re fairly cheap on eBay or from refurbishment companies. Bring your own drives with warranties though, used drives are a headache. Servers like this can be really noisy though, I keep mine in the basement.

I’ve briefly considered it but it is out of the question for me. Not enough space in the house and enterprise gear is way too noisy. This setup will probably sit next to the TV in the living room so it has to be as silent as possible.

This is really interesting, might be the way to go for me

I had thought of that, I didn’t really like the idea of using a third party service to access my machines.

Also I didn’t mention in the post, but, while my ISP gives me a public IP, I only use port forwarding to wireguard into my home networks. My services are exposed via a vps hosted on oracle cloud free tier free, which forwards public traffic to my server via another wireguard connection

How is that different from a VM and using docker inside it? Any specific advantages/disadvantages to both approaches?

No, I wanted something that I could upgrade if I wanted in the future, especially for disks. I still have 4x 3.5’ slots available in the case and as for sata ports on the mobo I can always by a controller to plug in the pcie slots

Wait is that in the background supposed to be the tardis?

I was not expecting a Polynerdeia meme in here, nice

Very nice! Are you using some sort of tiling window management plugin/setting for kde? Or did you place the windows manually?

It’s the second random post in which I find you randomly throwing Doctor Who quotes. They’re so on point every time, love that :D

Straight out from Pantheon. Actually a part of the plot of the show

A daffodil is not a broadsword, BUT I STILL WON THE LAST ROUND!

Funny 3 out of 12 are minecraft

Our goal is to continue the legacy of Mull by providing a free and open source, privacy and security-oriented web browser for daily use

Anyone can explain to me what happened to Mull?

I’ll bite. Meta, obviously, never actually cared about free speech. Zuckerberg also said that they are about to flood the platforms with AI bots to increase engagement. I’d say getting rid of fact checkers is only to avoid having their own bots automatically brought down by their own moderation. The rest is a façade

What trackers are you using for kids shows? I’m having the same problem with older cartoons I want to archive but cannot be found in my native language

That was it, I needed to update prowlarr

Looks very nice. Anyone as any insights on how to add it to prowlarr?

I think xournal++ has a journal background to handwrite music

That’s so cool, I almost forgot this game had a PC version. I uses to play it a lot as a kid, but I only 109%'ed it a coupleof years ago on the Wii. I guess it runs using Proton?

In the last few months I haven’t run a lot because of the weather (hot and humid) and because of a crap ton of uni work for my thesis. Yesterday I finally managed to run a 10k after literally months. With respect to my usual form it was terrible, i run a 6:10min/km when usually I’m well below 5:45, but considering I had run like twice in the past month and a half and had been months since my last 10k I’d say it was a good result
