Its my experience with server software for beginners in general, which gets my enshittification senses tingling. I just dont trust in a company providing a hell of a service (like, getting tens if not hundreds of docker images to work with the click of a button) for free.

With Truenas I know that their community branch is an ad for their enterprise service because no single person will key thousands for the caliber of support their enterprise has, so they make their money by offering cloud services. So that explains how it is still feasable for them to give me their dataset and UI and everything frontend for free.

But with Casa, I just dont know where the money comes from. I dont see how they can keep up their operations and make a profit with this kind of effort. So I can only assume that many non essential services will be put behind a paywall.

And if they do it, I still know that they use docker and ZFS, and I can spend a day or 2 learning how to set up a software raid and an ssd as a ZFS buffer for it, and everything else i‘ve set up with their OS.

But thats the problem: Beginners dont know. Its like with the Iphone: If the user dosent learn how to deploy a docker instance from a compose file themselves, they will be bound to that frontend and all the enshittification that happens to it.

Therefore I would like it way more if Selfhosting was more like the AUR. First learn how the Process of pulling an image and makepkg‘ing works firsthand, then you can use the frontend like yay. Not the other way around.

But if no one learns how to do something the old fashioned way and relies on a frontend for everything, at some point the company behind the frontend will vendor lock everyone into their system, since there is no competition anyway

First of all, I dont see how this belongs in piracy

These shitty reward websites are total dogshit and will make you spend years to earn a shitty 10€ Xbox gift card (which are basically worthless)

So in other words, even if you use the most efficient Raspberry pi setup, you will be at a loss.

Nope, only with other linux phone brands

PostmarketOS is like the name says for EoL devices, not brand new ones

1. Find IP address
2. Input IP

done.

Welcome to the internet.

You just close all tabs and open the link until it actually works. That, or you use adblock

mainly for the integrated graphics to use jellyfin’s hardware transcoding. Is the UHD 730 enough for that?)

My 4th gen Intel i5 can do that

No idea what to get for MB

You get the cheapest thing available with your socket that has at least 4 sata slots for migration

Server quality storage is extremely expensive, not sure if its worth buying.

Just get 2 WD blues

For case I saw some suggestion for cases with a ton of hotswappable drive bays

Or, you know, if you are making a whole post crying about your financial situation, maybe you can just move your ass and manually swap the HDDs.

PSU I want to get any gold PSU with low wattage from a reputable brand

If you want something energy efficient, why in gods name do you want to buy a desktop CPU?

16gb of any decent ram I suppose?

If you want to be fancy I guess, but my 25€ half dead optiplex that dosent even pass its own self test is currently running on 8 gigs of DDR 3 storage from different brands I got out of dumpsterdiving in a junkyard right before they threataned to call the police on me, and I live in goddamn Germany, so maybe make up your mind if you want to be crying about being poor or actively going out of your way to buy fancy Server Equipment I can only dream about in my setup.

Its „adding” one?

So, in other words, they just promised that they can do double The r&d for The same funding.

Yes, ntfs

It will, if your games even work, nuke your performance into oblivion

When installing arch, I wanted to kill my old drive. So 2 times in a row, I forgot to look up my drives Name, and proceeded to wipe my USB stick with /dev/random. 2 times.

Yes, but:

To get to this point, OpenAI had to suck up almost all data ever generated in the world. So in order for it to become better, lets say it has to have 3 times as much data. That alone would take more than 3 Lifetimes to get the data alone, IF we don´t consider the AI slop and assume that all data is still Human made, which is just not true.

In other words: What you describe will just about never happen anymore, at least as long as 2025 will still be remembered

TL;DR: The pentester already found it himself, and wanted to test how offen GPT finds it if he pasts that code into it

You can run Jellyfin as exe too.

Then how did you use Plex? Did you even RTFM?

If you are advanced enough to run a docker image with Plex, you can do the same with Jellyfin

No, you cant just „share processing power“

Also you could host something like a Lemmy instance, but then you had to get it federated, and mod it, and what not

If you want to do something good, host a snowflake proxy or something

If you have more than 1 Drive, you can just use a bash script and 7zip to unzip Linux to the drive, that does it

Otherwise you would have to resize a mounted partition, which is just more of a risk than smacking that user with a frying pan until he decides to learn how to install an OS

Self hosting just means maintaining your own Instance of a web service instead of paying for someone else‘s

As long as you dont pay hetzner for an explicit fully maintained Nextcloud server, it dosent matter if the OS you‘re running it on is a VM or a bare bones server

OSS or not, if its Windows I will take a shit on it

I find cinnamon kind of useless

It just has this beige win 7 look, that is somehow both new and old at the same time. You dont have the Macros and Costumisation of Plasma, but you also dont have the rigidness and tablet-style interface of Gnome. You dont have the ressource friendlyness of xfce. The only thing it has is that it can both render qt and gtk in its own style, but xfce already does that with its very win xp like interface, which both qt and gtk have themes for
