nice.

I need to get something dead simple/no cloud etc… Just shopping around.

Do you use any sort of RAID? Recently, ive been using an old SSD, but back 9ish years ago, I used to backup everything with a RAID system, but it took too much time to keep up.

I have to agree, the community seems to come and go. Some apps have daily updates and some have been updated only once. If I were to start a new server, I would probably still pick yunohost, but remove some of the older apps as one offs. The lemmy one for example is stuck on a VERY old version. However the GotoSocial app is updated every time there is an update in the main repo.

Still super good support for something that is free and open source. Stable too :) but sometimes stability means old.

Honestly after using docker and containerization for more than a decade, my home setups are just yunohost or baremetal (a small pi) with some periodic backups. I care more about my own time now than my home setup and I want things to just be stable. Its been good for a couple of years now, without anything other than some quick updates. You dont have to deal with infa changes with updates, you dont have to deal with slowdowns, everything works pretty well.

At work its different Docker, Kubernetes, etc… are awesome because they can deal gracefully with dependencies, multiple deploys per day, large infa. But ill be the first to admit that takes a bit more manpower and monitoring systems that are much better than a small home setup.

The posters are kinda nightmare fuel.

Puppy is pretty neat.

Dont get me wrong, im happy it exists, but i feel like getting a 70-80$ monitor that is 20+ inches at is better than their offering. It will even come with a power cord.

Im not 100% sure about the monitor especially since you have to get another power adapter for 15$, but the 500 looks neat.

Interesting I’ll give it a shot.

It’s one of the reasons I linked the hn discussion. Lots of accusations going around right now. It’s unfortunate as I like that app, but this kind of splitting is important to know about.

Sometimes I wish lemmy/fediverse had an option to detect if something was on the fedi and give you the option to direct link. Would make it nicer to vote/follow.

Yeah I bet people are just getting by with a phone. There’s an entire generation that uses phones for 95% of their computer needs.

I’m using a phone app right now haha.

I have that casio watch. Its still working after many years of usage. The buttons are much too small for my hands, but its just a nice watch in particular.

While I would love people to come over to mastodon (or mastodon adjacent) I personally think this is a step in the right direction. Having more fediverse adjacent platforms makes it easier for people to communicate in a much less platform specific conglomeration.

It’s this last two years where it has gotten really bad in my opinion. Before you could at least navigate the ads ridden site. Now base Google search is tremendously worse.

To me it just means job security. But I get you, some of those people will become your boss…and it generally sucks.

Remember ask Jeeves?

Honestly it usually starts with chatgpt or ai. I’ve been watching my younger coworkers.

It’s not a bad thing per-say but sometimes it’s wildly wrong and they don’t question where it comes from. Which bites them when we do reviews/code.

Nice I’ll get a mirror. Don’t trust GitHub + emulation nowadays.

Good
