  • First self-hosted post!

  • Curios about how much space is required for hosting a personal Lemmy instance? Is this something you know, if it's not too much I would be interested in hosting myself!

  • Homelab upgrade! - Looking for suggestions on new setup :)

  • Alright yeah I see what you mean. The i7-6700K was just a leftover cpu I had from a prvious computer build, and it has worked wonders uptil now as it has Quick Sync. But yeah, I was kinda hoping there would be an "easy" solution for connecting a MINI PC to some type of enclosed case for the HDDs with a SATA connection between the two. I'll probably end up with a different use case for the minipc in the end. Thanks for your input!

  • Right, so sorry if I was a bit unclear about this. The rack is just something i'd like in the forseeable future. I like the idea of having a small homelab.

    My usecase is media streaming. Unraid because its more simple and I want to support the good work they do there.

    Am not planning on using the big machine in the future, this is just what I was able to scramble up as a student from second hand shops and friends.

    I assume you mean the AMD CPU when you mention that its an odd choice? Well, im getting it for free, so thats why :)

  • No idea how I would connect the drivers, was hoping there would be an easy solution for this but seems there might not be? Guess I'll have to look into something that has data as you say as I wouldn't want to slow down speeds or make it unreliable.

    The rack I linked isn't one I want on specific, but generally in that direction. It's a small one for sure, though they have larger ones too:

  • My apologies, It is mostly a media server (Jellyfinn+arr stack), but also for many random projects i like such as Mealie, Freshrss, linkding, memos etc...

  • Thanks a lot! This was helpful and I too landed on Fastmail after hearing they're supporting (and helping develop) open standards.

  • Thanks I personally really needed this today actually! Well written and good points. Today is that kind day I need to take a step back and in a week or two ill have sorted out thoughts and have a more refreshed approach. Thanks.

  • Microsoft should be terrified of SteamOS

    Jump

  • Defo The biggest hurdle I think, not to mention making the USB bootable with additional software. Dead easy for us, but grandma would never have been able to wrap her head around that.

    And Tt be fair, this process is the same for Windows. The only difference is people purchase their pc's with Windows pre-installed for them. I do wish more people got to experience the difference in installing Linux vs Windows though, bet it would be an eye-opener to many.

    Also, I wonder what year stores will ask customers what OS they would like installed on their PC.

  • I completely agree that WireGuard and OPNsense are excellent choices, and I would have chosen them myself. However, I don't think it's fair to suggest that someone should "leave the topic to others" simply because they've made different choices. While WireGuard is indeed superior, OpenVPN is still a solid option and widely used today. Similarly, although OPNsense is better, pfSense remains a great piece of software - even though the company behind it isnt perfect.

    People should still be able to use whatever software they like without being juged by it. Its better for people to at least start with something, rather than nothing: then its also more likely they will get more educated on topic and the different matters of opinions later on.
