Will talk about Linux, plants, space, retro games, and anything else I find interesting.
I dont :) Mostly.
Honestly I have an auto backup system. And then set it up to auto update periodically. Then use Debian Server as it almost never breaks as a server distro.
Same, someone also added a new battery at some point so I have an awesome weeklong working device. And after rockbox, its even better.
My suggestion which you seem to be doing is just to continue making things that are useful for yourself and others. Helped me a bunch in my early career. I could tell you so many stories …
I have a similar setup with around 5 federated services (Lemmy/bookwyrm/mastodon(GoToSocial)/pixelfed/Peertube/etc… and it works well. The slowest component is the internet connection by far. Yunohost makes it easy but a couple of the more niche services are on docker. All self hosted on an old PC and a pi.
Just a note, these are all less than 5 users and my setup is not designed for anything more than the family. Also of all the services, Mastodon base install was by far the most resource intensive of all of them. It’s definitely made for more than 100+ users and quite quickly used up all my hard drive. Their caching system needs some work if I’m honest. After self hosting for about half a year, I went with GoToSocial, which saved me 100s of gigabytes. It’s no faster or slower but the same clients work with it. It’s basically designed for less than 10 users which is nice. No issues after about a year.
Not too much. I don’t have specific stats but there’s not much video being shared. We are not at the level where it takes too much bandwidth.
Advice: make sure you deploy the latest version of Lemmy! The newest one solves a lot of federation/backend stuff (hint hint Lemmy.world).
If you have less than 10 or so users, id say go ahead and self host. It’s not terribly resource intensive at least not on my personal instance. I use it to test posts, solutions that will eventually make it’s way into a pr, or just experiments and that can (and does) run on a pi.
Good science often is. They like to be as precise as possible.
I’ve had good luck with yunohost if you want an all in one solution. But you can also do the same with some docker containers.
It was :(
My pi 4 is right on the cusp. 3 B+ was the best when it came to no dongles and power. Now its taking about the same power as a mini PC and you have to by the enclosure, fans/heatsink/dongles/etc…etc… I suppose you can still buy the old pis but man I miss when that was the form factor they were going for.
I bring over my 3/4 for hacking projects all the time. But I cant justify the 5 without looking at getting a mini pc for 10$ more and it comes with a hard drive ment to last longer than an SD.
Im imagining she forgot to put in her headphones, so everyone is hearing the music and everyone is silently judging lol.
Its a stragegy game where you move units on a hexagonal board. Its a pretty unique system in my opinion. Its kinda like advanced wars.
Super Tux and Wesnoth are my favorite, followed by SuperTuxKart.
This is awesome in many ways. Much cheaper materials, less environmental impact, and better short term satellites. Plus testing wood in long term space/vacuum.
SpaceX, with nearly 7,000 satellites in orbit, is by far the world’s biggest satellite operator and thus potentially one of the main contributors to the satellite air pollution problem.
I didn’t realize older satellite designs are destroying the ozone again.
Looking forward to the results!
Ive hosted on a variety of platforms (docker in house and cloud) I find yunohost the easiest. Theres a nextcloud package that just…installs at a click of a button. And the scripts are all there open source so you know what your getting.
Unfortunately its still all in one “container” in that its all on one machine. So it might not be what your looking for. Ive ran my nextcloud for a number of years now and the stability of yunohost has been great for me.
I think the big one recently is the opt in ai training. A lot of people were not happy with their data being hoovered up and making so a ton of $$. So they are replacing their answers with nonsense/deleting them. Plus there’s now ai bots that are on so…such a strange world.
SO is only useful if it’s filled with things that help out users. If it starts getting less foot traffic, an evaporation effect occurs where more and more uses leave thereby making it even less useful.
I once had a person ask a question on a library I made. They asked how to unit test the library. I answered it and got downvoted because my answer wasn’t the accepted answer.
Its so…ugly to me but someone wanted it. Better than Cobol on wheelchair framework thats for sure.
First option for each object. Unless things get bigger/tons of serializers/etc… then we move to the second-ish model.
To be honest, I usually just use whatever the framework has as best practices so that when new team members get on-boarded, theres less friction.
