Damn, thinking about the msn messenger brings me back to such simpler and happier times

Does Fluent Reader count? Doesn’t have an amazing interface but it’s free and simple to use.

Yep

I had issues with mint but everything worked fine with PopOS. Not a large sample I know but my 2 cents

Even as someone that’s still active here, this would never happen. Neither lemmy or Kbin were ready to replace reddit in either features, stability or support, not then and not even today. It’s unfortunate but reddit is not going to go down when there is no actual competition available.

Oh I think i tried at one point and when the guide started talking about inventory, playbooks and hosts in the first step it broke me a little xd

Got any decent guides on how to do it? I guess a docker compose file can do most of the work there, not sure about volume backups and other dependencies in the OS.

Hmm, I bought a used laptop on which I wanted to tinker with linux and docker services, but I kinda wanted to separate the NAS into a separate advice to avoid the “all eggs in one basket” situation (also I can’t really connect that many hard drives to it unless I buy some separately charged USB disk hubs or something, if those exist and are any good?)

However I do see the merit in your suggestion considering some of the suggestions here are driving me into temptation to get a $500 NAS and that’s even without the drives… that’s practically more than what my desktop is worth atm.

Could be a regional thing but Synology HDDs are around 30% more expensive than ‘normal’ WD/Seagate/Toshiba that I’m seeing at first glance. Maybe it does make it up for quality and longevity but afaik HDDs are pretty durable if they are maintained well, and I imagine them being in RAID1 should be good enough security measure?

Considering the price of the diskstation itself it’s all quickly adding up to a price of a standalone PC so i’m trying to keep it simple since it’s for a relatively low performance environment.

Sorry, with ‘docker drives’ I meant ‘docker volumes or bind mounts’. I dont have a lot of experience with it yet so I’m not sure if I’m going to run into problems by mapping them directly to a NAS, or if I should have local copies of data and then rsync / syncthing them into the NAS. I heard you can theoretically even run docker on the NAS but not sure if that’s a good idea in terms of its longevity or performance.

Is the list of “approved HDDs” just a marketing/support thing or does it actually affect performance?

Thanks for the answers! The DS2xx series looks like something I could start with. DS223 is a bit cheaper and has 3 USB ports so that could be useful, I’d guess I don’t need to focus on performance since it’s mostly just for personal data storage and not some intensive professional work.

I often can’t tell if they are just saying stuff like that to cope or they are really that optimistic/naive. It’s a similar mentality to people constantly giving benefit of the doubt to kickstarter / early access projects that have like a 1% chance of actually living up to the made promises.

If its by the developer of NPxSB why not just update that one, or am I misunderstanding something in the title?

Sure, but nothing is theoretically stopping them from documenting every single data source input into the training module and then crediting it later.

For some reason they didn’t want to do that of course.

Huh, I remember reading that it was canceled. Good news I guess

having everything laid out in a few yaml files that I can tear down and rebuild on a whim

Oh absolutely, but for me docker compose already does that. Kubernetes might be a good learning exercise but I don’t think I need load balancing for 1 user, me, on the home network 😅

What’s the benefit of kubernetes over docker for a home server setup?

I always thought you’re supposed to buy similar drives so the performance is better for some reason (I guess the same logic as when picking RAM?) but this thread is changing my mind, I guess it doesn’t matter after all👀

These bridges are usually self-hosted so I’m assuming this is not due to infrastructure costs but rather the bridge code maintenance issues? Do they require so much work to stay functional, are other bridges at risk of abandonment too?
