  • Thoughts on hosting OS on microSD vs M.2 hat + SSD on Raspberry Pi 5 for Plex/Jellyfin/torrenting and maybe cloud?

    Jump

  • I have never had an issue with SD-cards but if I would invest in a m.2 hat I would definitely use it for everything.

    It's faster and more reliable and disk space isn't that expensive nowadays.

  • 7/6 in Nieuwsuur: Grote aanval op Oekraïne • Wat doet rechts verkeerd? • Nederlandse arts terug uit Gaza

    Jump

  • Same. Als linkse kiezer heb je toch te weinig gevoel dat er echt naar je geluisterd wordt (en voor rechtse kiezers hetzelfde misschien?) - mijn insteek is dat ik probeer te lachen op de onhandige pogingen van de partijen om iets voor elkaar te krijgen, wetende dat het toch strand op internationale afspraken (stikstof) of de grondwet (immigratie).

  • What are the steps to learning how to turn my laptop into Nextcloud server?

    Jump

  • In short: Yes, every computer van become a server. It is a matter of installing the right software :-)

    The software you know is made to interact with using your screen, but there is a lot of software that is not using your screen at all but is going to interact over your network, like Nextcloud Server :-)

    You could just follow the installation instructions for Nextcloud Server on your laptop.

  • Have you all watched the Eurovision?

    Jump

  • Yes, absolutely.

    Despite the inclusion of Israel (which is hated by fans, presenters and other artists, so everyone except the organization itself), it still feels like a festival of art and inclusitivity (is that the right word?).

    And I love it. Still have the PED (Post Euro Depression) today. It's so much fun following these artists all week and I'm in an empty space now.

  • What's your monitor setup?

    Jump

  • 32" with 27" on the side.

    Barely using the 2nd monitor.

    Tried using double 27" but it didnt work for me (I just focus on one monitor).

    I tried a curved ultra wide once. I loved it for work and gaming, but i am so used to having 4k that I experienced it as blurry, and 4k curved monitors are €€€.

    Moral of the story: dont get used to 4k, it will spoil you.

  • Kabinet wil uitstoot stikstof in 2035 halveren

    Jump

  • De technische tegeltjeswijsheid die ik altijd mis bij dit hele milieubeleid:

    80% van het resultaat kost 20% van de moeite (geld, inspanning, tijd, verandering). De laatste 20% kost 80%.

    Dus we zitten nog in de fase van "de makkelijkste resultaten", en het kost zo ENORM veel moeite om progressie te boeken.

    Ik geef enorm om milieu en toekomst van de aarde maar ik zie dit zo ontzettend niet zitten dat ik mijn motivatie ingeruild heb voor een bak popcorn, zodat ik ze kan uitlachen en "told you so" kan zeggen terwijl wij de aarde onleefbaar maken. En dat spijt me enorm voor de generaties na mij :-(

  • What OS are you using and why?

    Jump

  • Debian.

    It's stable. Everything has support for Debian. I'm comfortable with Debian. Also everything that is not available as a deb-package goes in a docker container.

    I run a bunch of Minecraft servers, the *arr stack, and pihole on a single NUC.

    I also have a VPS. Also Debian. It is my VPN gateway for my home network (tinc is nice) and everything that needs to be public facing (minecraft proxy+a website that I host for my sister).

    My work laptop + gaming rig is LMDE which is also Debian.

    I'm not so much a Debian fanboy but my tinkering days were in the past, if I would still have the time I would probably run something cool like Arch or NixOS. Now I just want something that works.

    Oh yeah, my media player is a Pi with LibreElec. Write to SD card and you're done :)

  • [Question] Is VPS still considered self-hosting?

    Jump

  • Agreed! I feel like there is an underlying question here. Like, did the OP get called out for not-really-selfhosting-because-VPS?You do not need to define the word just because you want to host your own server for product X.

  • Removed

    Health care in my country is royally fucked, I need diy options and black market stuff pronto.

    Jump

  • LTO3 is a (relatively expensive) supplement that does not require any monitoring or checks. It's just a supplement. But it has been doing wonders for me: I have been free of brain fog for 3 months now (before it was always foggy).

    It's not as strong as all the amphetamins but maybe it's useful to know about it :-)

  • Wat is jullie lievelingseten uit de Hollandse pot?

    Jump

  • Andijviestamppot met veel kaas en spekjes en op het laatst een paar teentjes verse knoflook :-) Yammie.

    En bitterballen natuurlijk.

  • What's been your rabbit hole of the week?

    Jump

  • As other people said, getting the mail delivered is the hard part. Check if your mail is received by Google, Microsoft, because apparently they blacklist by default.

    You can do everything yourself and then set up a relay for sending, so all mail is sent through someone else who can make sure it is delivered. Then you could get something like purelymail, which is 10$/year to deliver your mail. (I have no relation with purelymail, I am their customer, but it took me quite a while to find a mail relay that is not for sending bulk spam but for real people).

  • Upgrading from a Pi4 to NUC clone?

    Jump

  • I'm not here to recommend a NUC (because I don't know), but a thing about the Pis: I have several, some have been constantly running in some form ore another for 10 years, and I have had 0 issues with overheating or SD-cards. Also I only use the official power supplies.

    The Pi 4 and 5 have heating issues, so I added passive cooling to them (if I would do heavy tasks like transcoding I would add active cooling, but that is not my scenario).

    They are reliable little machines :-)

    (Also they are limited in CPU and memory, so I also have a NUC. It's an official Intel so not the kind you want ;-) )

  • Drive To Survive Season 7 to premiere on March 7

    Jump

  • If they would just display the actual drama instead of inventing it, I would watch it! :-)

  • Signal is on the guardian project's f-droid repository

    Jump

  • Just curious ... what does this mean for signal - does the Guardian Project do funding / infrastructure / code? I don't really know them.

  • Skyfactory 5 beta quietly uploaded to curseforge

    Jump

  • How do other people like it, so far?

    I enjoyed unlocking all the colors, it was a fun new concept (although visually challenging, everything was ugly and weird visual artifacts everywhere).

  • Greenpeace wint zaak tegen Staat, rechter dwingt kabinet meer haast te maken met stikstofaanpak

    Jump

  • .. het is vermoeiend. De hele tijd via de rechter proberen te voorkomen dat je iets aan het milieu moet doen.

    BBB wilde toch met Europa praten over de gemaakte afspraken? Hoe is dat eigenlijk gegaan?

  • What servers do you play on?

    Jump

  • Yeah there are soooo many servers out there. Joining Discord is the way to find them (unfortunately).

  • Lean vs. fast

    Jump

  • Okay, sure, do fast. Then:

    • I'll add a refactor task to the backlog filed under "tech debt"
    • please confirm again that you know we are still behind on security updates and that you're ok with it because you are responsible for how I spend my hours
    • I'd like more time to spend on bugs before we lose customers.
    • Also I won't touch that buggy part without taking the time for a rewrite because we did it "fast" per your request and it's so hard to maintain now that it becomes a time sink on every minor change
    • I know we are under time pressure right now, but as a stakeholder I request we plan a few sprints for improving reliability of our product
    • It's not "fun" to work on our code. We might lose developers if we do not address this. We both know the good coders will have no problem finding a new job and you'll end up with the bad ones.
    • Either that, or plan for loss of personnel and the extra time we need for the hiring process and the loss of developer hours

  • Lean vs. fast

    Jump

  • Change management! :-)

    Or, if possible, change employer.

    (And I know we're in meme-land, but I always see it as a developer's task to inform of the trade-off between fast and good)
