Hardware (what should be enough for a local PC, or VPS…)

One of my “servers” I picked up for $15, saving from electronics “recycling”. Unless you’re transcoding video or hosting something with a hefty database that eats ram, whatever you can scrounge is generally good enough.

Software (OS [Debian, Yunohost, other…], “containerization” (Docker, virtual machines?), dashboard, management, backups, VPN tunneling…)

Debian and proxmox is pretty much my host for everything. I run a bunch of containers, usually lxc though a few docker containers here and there.

“Utilities” to host (Lemmy, Peertube, Matrix, Mastodon, Actual Budget, Jellyfin, Forgejo, Invidious/Piped, local Pi-Hole, email, dedicated videogame servers like for Minecraft, SearXNG, personal file storage like Drive, AI [in the future, when I can afford a rig that can run a local model decently]…)

Jellyfin doesn’t have much in the way of requirements if you’re not transcoding, and if you’ve got a relatively modern iGPU on intel, you’ve got plenty of power to transcode as well. Pi-hole is also pretty lightweight.

In terms of where to find something, I’d start with checking if there are local computer recycling companies, they will resell, and I’ve found they go cheap if you go direct. Otherwise, it depends on where you are. Craigslist occasionally has worthwhile stuff, sometimes ebay, sometimes (and I hate that its become so popular) facebook market. Or maybe just see when a business is getting rid of their off lease stuff and see if you can take something home.

At this point I’m almost exclusively tiny/mini/micro. When one dies (which happened recently), I gut the useful bits and move it somewhere else, or add it to the replacement - which is how my most recent addition, a nuc, has 32gb ram rather than 8gb, and a 500gb m2 rather than a 128gb m2.

Have fun!

the woman…had been suffering flu-like symptoms but they appeared to be getting better and she did not have a fever.

“They were not thinking that these symptoms were compatible with hantavirus. Why? Because what she was telling [them] was [that she had] an episode of coughing some days ago that had disappeared, and what she was having at that moment was kind of like stress or anxiety or nervousness. So it was not catalogued [as hantavirus],” Padilla said.

“It is not that the patient was feeling bad and she was saying: ‘OK, I’m not going to say anything because I want to be on the plane.’ It was like: ‘OK, we have measured your temperature, it was not fever, afterwards you have been on the plane, it has taken off, you have started feeling bad, we have measured your temperature and it was fever.’”

Padilla said passengers could not have been tested onboard the vessel because there were no rapid PCR tests for hantavirus available. Any testing would have involved flying samples to Madrid to a specialist lab

She had no fever, she mentioned a brief cough that was gone, and then described feelings of anxiety. There were no tests that could be done there that would be definitive, so they cleared based on other factors. She didnt present any significant symptoms until she was on the flight.

I had looked it up, they are starting with new phones in the sane line/family as Motorola Signature, Motorola razr fold and Motorola razr ultra apparently

Should be pretty straightforward!

I think you’ll find a lot of folks here do JF and/or Navidrome, they play nicely together

If you want to see some neat options, you may want to check out Funkwhale and see if its up your alley

So what I’ll recommend first is to pick a naming strategy, and manage your files. You can do this in a few ways, what I’ll recommend is beets.

You want to do this first so youre scanning a library that won’t undergo massive changes.

Both JF and Navidrome are just playing back in this scenario, so once they are clean and in the right directory structure, you can just map the library there for both.

Thats really about it. What do you need help on with the execution?

JF is for all of my media, I do have navidrome for music in addition to JF though (they sit side by side and share access to the same music media directories), in part because I have some other stuff I put together to work with navidrome a while ago, and I don’t feel like changing it. Otherwise you can pretty much just use JF.

This is wonderful!

Going to set it up tomorrow and give it a go!

Going to second this, its all my m2 does right now. Putting together a solution for the office with some m4s.

Its a lot of bang for the buck specifically for llm use despite being horribly overpriced otherwise.

Oh no.

They are Comcast’s favorite kind of people - exploitable.

Good luck!

You already got a bunch of answers here, but I just want to narrow down on this part:

However, pretty frequently, they’ll reset my router/gateway’s firewall configuration, which blocks basically all ipv6 traffic by default, and the other day, they even removed my port forwards while I was away, and hid my server from the port forwarding screen so I couldn’t add them back until I got physical access to the server.

I cannot express enough how much you need to stop using their router/modem. Its going to cost more, you have no control, they are undoubtedly using the built in AP to sniff data about devices around, etc, etc, etc.

Friends don’t let friends use ISP provided hardware. Especially if Comcast gave it to you. Please get your own.

I recommend a modem, a router, and preferably the AP as entirely separate devices.

Good luck and have fun

HOW DID I MISS THIS AS AN OPTION???

Amazing, thank you, going to be setting this up over the weekend…

I also appreciate mediawiki for a family genealogy wiki.

Ive been trying out family tree options and they all were… Wonky.

Mediawiki is a great idea!

• Media is on Jellyfin. Includes movies, music videos, music, TV shows, and educational material (sight words, letters, numbers, etc).
• Tuxkart because… Well its fun.
• gcompris - great educational materials + getting to know a computer.
• Minecraft and that has come up enough recently that I’ll probably set up luanti or something, set it up so her friends can play on there too.

And I’m going to keep going back to this thread to see what other people have got that I don’t!

I’m not really interested in any debate around semantics, to me the answer is no, applying a -1 to entry a is not the same as a +1 to entry z, but its also completely irrelevant to the question.

Again, what metric would you suggest to use to demonstrate this?

I do not.

I see it as meta intentionally lowering visibility, not as boosting other things. The root problem of that being algorithmic timelines rather than an actual timeline.

Which this post also points out (indirectly).

Again, what metric would you suggest to use to demonstrate this?

I think the flaw is intentionally limited visibility by meta, which they are using engagement to track. Considering what they are trying to point out, what other metric do you think they should be using?

Check b stock.

Typically its scratch & dent, sometimes demo or trade show use.

Still gets a warranty (which is better on commercial in most cases), and usually a pretty sizable discount. If you can find a local distributor, they will sometimes sell off prior year stock for a really good price.

A lot of the small cheap knockdowns aren’t metal, they are LDF or maybe MDF.

Ply is solid choice, I’d recommend an L bracket for the corners, 8 in total. For the casters get at least one locking, it’ll save some headache. I’d also get at least one vent or blank 1RU plate to make sure you’re lining up right between the rails, and to mount the rails with enough room top/bottom. A second set of rails for the back will let you double up on mounting front and back to make better use of the space if you’ve got low-depth devices to put in there.

Have fun!

Oof

A great domain name, too

(yes, that happened).

What was the site? With .af I bet it was a fun name
