Second Baikal, I’m using docker on nixos through compose2nix and it’s great for syncing both my calendar and my tasks.org todo lists. Crazy easy to setup as well.

This is a great specific response based on the principle in my comment. Thank you for taking the time for OP and others. I feel like the Vega iGPU on the ryzen 5xxx is meant to be pretty good too right?
- Comment on What's on my Home Server 2025 – NixOS Edition - YouTube 2 weeks ago:
Do you mean being dependent on people having “done it in nix before” so you can copy it? Definitely true to some extent. The language takes a bit of getting used to. Haven’t watched the video so idk context, but if using docker on nix there’s a great tool called compose2nix that converts compose files for docker or podman into declarative nix files. That took a lot of the challenge away for me personally.

I would say with all of these recommendations, you can probably look to find an AM4 motherboard and user ddr4 instead of ddr5 ram secondhand. If you play heavily modded Minecraft, ddr4 ram will be much more affordable to opt for 64 GB if you want to allocate 20-30gb and keep a lot free still. AM4 motherboards cover a large range of CPUs up to ryzen 5xxx I think. there’s a lot of room for upgrades if you can only find one of the older CPUs. I jumped from a 2700x to a 3900x recently and it’s been great
- Comment on Pico Pixel Player - Offline-first PWA Music player with transcoding & folder listing support 2 weeks ago:
Why not? People are generally always online these days and there is a lot of music out there, plenty to fill a phone many times over. Granted you might only have a few hours worth of tracks at any time but there is obviously at least one person (OP) who doesn’t.
Not to mention the way they manage their library sounds incredibly desktop oriented. This removes the need to plugin the phone.
And then like Plex/jellyfin, or audiobookshelf, sounds like this let’s you have a shared library across devices or people, even better!
- Comment on Considering a refurbished Lenovo ThinkCentre M920q for use as a discrete HTPC / SteamLink console. Is this a good idea? Does anyone here have any experience with these? 4 weeks ago:
Can I please query the win10/11 because it’s a shared console? What about it being a) shared or b) a console makes win 10/11 a requirement?
A consistent console-ish experience with pc-like access to games is more a case for Bazzite or steamos than a case for windows.

- Comment on 6* months away now. If you're on 10, do you plan to upgrade? Make the jump to Linux? 5 weeks ago:
That’s really unusual. I’ve found, if anything, most of my games run better since switching to Linux. Nothing runs so much worse and I have rarely needed to apply launch options. I wonder if your games aren’t running on your iGPU inadvertently? That’s the only thing that comes to mind that would cause that much of an issue.

A commute-by-car is a great time to charge a smart watch, too.
- Comment on What's up, selfhosters? - Sunday thread 2 months ago:
I’ve gotten a CalDAV server, audiobookshelf, and selfhosted obsidian live sync running on my laptop while I wait for movers to bring my shit to my house. Then gotta migrate it all across to my mini PC afterwards. Doing a modular NixOS setup to replace/complement what I used to have running on proxmox.
Once everything is on a dedicated machine I’m going to make a nice little homepage for it, inspired by a previous thread here.
