I mean if every single person on earth did this, it would equate to about 253 years. (8 billion seconds is about 253.68 years) combine that with other efforts could really make a difference. Granted this is a hypothetical number and there are far more factors at play, it’s obviously not as simple as each person doing this = 1 second saved, but just throwing out there that there are a lot of people on earth…

It is still worth it to recycle, reduce, don’t be wasteful, eat less meat, all those things.

Yes, 4 easily accessible in various locations in the house and 1 in the garage. I check them all when I change out the batteries on my smoke alarms, which I do all at once when one starts to chirp.

I’ve been really happy with fedora, specifically the KDE spin. Looks amazing and a lot of things just work.

$500 is nothing. My son fell and hit his head and had a small seizure from the fall… took him to the ER, ct scan, medical exam, anti nausea medication, costed $750 out if pocket AFTER insurance. It was like a $3k medical bill before insurance. For like 2 hours at the ER and a scan… it’s ridiculous.

Rough, and tough, and don’t take no shit!

Alternative to ombi is overseer which imo has the best interface. Just throwing it out there as an option.

There is plenty of propaganda on lemmy. You just have to realize you will always be fed propaganda and understand there is propaganda on each side of every issue…

Instant = knoppix

I find Redhat annoying with how they lock down access to KB articles unless you have a subscription and certain "proprietary " things they do but I managed over 500 RHEL 7 and 8 servers at my previous job and I will say that their support is excellent, and RHEL is rock solid. Satellite server on the other hand, that thing is a steaming pile of garbage…

Can’t speak for OP but I can say that I switched to proxmox from just running docker and services native. Proxmox offers a lot of flexibility, you can do snapshots, build many different LXC containers very easily, to keep things separate or have better control over resource usage. Also I run mine in a 3 node cluster so I can do live migration of VMs and pretty quick migrations of LXC containers. This all allows me to run my services with little to no downtime and have redundancy.

This looks really cool. Any recommendations on clients(speakers)? I have a couple of older raspberry pies I could use if as remote speakers, but I’d need a few more.

What are you using for client devices?

OK but she wouldn’t be as popular and wouldn’t have made that much on OF if it weren’t for her time in the UFC. I mean she’s hot yea, but she’s famous because of her mma career.

I’m coming back to linux as a main desktop, finally ditching windows (again). I tried out fedora workstation and the fedora KDE spin. KdE looks so good now, before i atteibuted it to a windows wanna-be knock off. This was back in the windows xp days… now it looks so polished. I probably prefer it to gnome because I’ve been a windows user for so long but gnome is nice with its minimal approach, looks nice and clean. Can’t get away from how nice KDE looks though, I’m going to stick with that I think.

Actually there are a lot of people out there building plex servers on VPS services and charging friends/family/others to access (to offset the price of storage and network charges). That’s one of the reasons plex is now blocking certain VPS hosts.

I host vaultwarden at home. No real need for a vps since your passwords are synced to your phone or laptop(whatever client you’re using) and you can just sync it when you’re home if you make changes, or setup a VPN (I use wireguard) and sync on demand when needed.

That said, I do sync my database to a vps for dr purposes incase my home server suddenly vanishes… for critical services I follow a 3-2-1 backup rule but it’s not absolutely essential.

I run pihole on a proxmox cluster (lxc containers), 2 separate IPs and I setup keepalived and made the virtual IP the primary dns ip that my dhcp server hands out, pihole1 is the master and pihole2 secondary. I use gravity sync to keep both piholes in sync. Works very well and I can reboot one at a time without losing dns at all. Techno tim on YouTube has a guide on how to setup keepalived on 2 pihole servers that helped me set it up.

This seems more likely thinking about it, before I was doing coding as a hobby. If I was working on something at work that I wasn’t particularly passionate about I may not obsess as much.

I used to dabble in coding. Never done it professionally. To be a full time developer would probably kill me, I remember constantly thinking of how to build this or that function, or how to do a certain thing, or why something keeps failing. I’d constantly be thinking these things, in the shower, while brushing my teeth, while driving, it was making me insane. Don’t think I could do it professionally.

OK I’ve tried in the past to make a decent streaming box from both windows media center edition and various Linux distros. But I need something that is simple, can be controlled entirely from a remote, and has the major streaming apps (Netflix, disney, etc). I haven’t really found any solution that’s easy enough for non techie people to use. I have a standalone roku box that works ok we also have a roku TV which is a giant piece of garbage, and I’m considering buying an external roku or nvidia shield as a streaming box instead, I do have a couple of raspberry pi 4s I could use one but again I’m faced with the same issues.
