Can’t say I agree. Appreciated the overview
- Comment on Microsoft's decision to axe Windows 10 is driving Apple PC sales growth — users buy Macs instead of AI PCs despite Microsoft’s push for Copilot+ PCs 3 days ago:
“despite”
- Comment on Where can I buy used computers, and are they on a discount now because of Windows 10 end of life? 6 days ago:
Where in the world are you?
I guess eBay works in large parts of the world, and websearching for refurbished tech could yield helpful results.

Drew’s post is linked though

You’re in for a great time, have fun!
- Comment on Mini pc for home server? 1 week ago:
i3 6100 is on the lower end, but it depends on what you plan to do with it.
- Comment on How to start off small with the intent to expand 1 week ago:
Don’t buy anything yet! Except the HDD maybe. Use what you already have to tinker with things and try different setups.
A common OS people use is Proxmox, it’s free and you can easily create VMs. You’ll come across Docker/Containers sooner or later and you can easily test them in a VM.
Play around, figure out what you need and how you want to set it up, and only then get the necessary hardware.

Why would you?
- Comment on So admins, hows your instances looking today? 1 week ago:
Yes, they have their own datacenters.
They are also one of/the biggest hosting providers fedi instances use, if they’d go down, big parts of fedi would as well

I also switched to that, used sync thing before. Super glad I can still use my old Tolino despite the broken USB port (charging works)
- Comment on Selfhosting Sunday! What's up? 1 week ago:
Not every device supports it, but you can download books via OPDS, which Calibre supports natively. I run KOReader on my Tolino and it works great with it
- Comment on Selfhosting Sunday! What's up? 1 week ago:
Hooray!
- Comment on Selfhosting Sunday! What's up? 1 week ago:
Interesting using systemd for that, I’d probably have chosen containers for that.
What’s the reason for replication vs. dumps? Does the client failover to the replica?
- Comment on Selfhosting Sunday! What's up? 1 week ago:
If you want to use Calibre Web, should be accessing the server as easy as having it running on the desktop? Also has the benefit of downloading books directly to the e-reader without needing your desktop.
Also check Calibre Web Automated! It’s a fork with lots of additional features.

Oh that’s an amazing idea! I need to check if I still have a landline number and if I can answer calls to it somehow…

How much storage do you think you’ll need with caching external content? Does Peertube even do that?
- Comment on Selfhosting Sunday! What's up? 1 week ago:
I’m super glad I arrived this state and don’t have to do anything mostly. Just when I want to change stuff :)
- Comment on Selfhosting Sunday! What's up? 1 week ago:
I just heard it’s a bit more of a hassle to set up than like gutes/forgejo, but if you already got that, enjoy!
- Comment on Selfhosting Sunday! What's up? 1 week ago:
What kind of hardware is it running on?
- Comment on Selfhosting Sunday! What's up? 1 week ago:
Pretty cool! I’m using Prometheus but I alert over Matrix. Do you have a specific Signal bot account or are you using your normal one and send to yourself?
- Comment on Selfhosting Sunday! What's up? 1 week ago:
Cool, have fun! Any particular reason for Gitlab over other forges?

- Comment on Mini rack bod 1 week ago:
The mini PC case is open and the cables go directly from the mainboard/PSU to the BOD back (4 SATA and 1 MOLEX).
- Comment on Mini rack bod 1 week ago:
I have a Mini PC with 4 SATA ports that powers the jbod and has the drives connected. It’s my NAS.
- Comment on The state of interoperability 1 week ago:
It would be cool to have some structured list for that. I experiment with the different services and their interactions sometimes, but I never wrote something down and I tend to forget stuff.

- Comment on How much time and money would it take to set up and maintain a server similar to disroot.org, offering the same services, for a group of ten people? 2 weeks ago:
Setting up and maintaining the services is one thing. But as soon as you get actual users and want to offer them a good experience, there’s a lot of additional work: writing guides, answering support mails, announce maintenance downtimes before they happen, etc etc. You can start with an old computer in your basement, but maybe the Internet connection is too bad? Are you aware of and equipped against legal risks etc?
There’s more groups like disroot and I think some are looking for volunteers, maybe help them out to see how stuff works before starting over?
Here’s some of the top of my head (all in or around Germany to my knowledge):
- riseup
- pub.solar
- systemausfall
Longer list: Radical Servers
- Comment on Restricting Docker Socket Proxy by Container 2 weeks ago:
You might want a nice overview dashboard of your docker services but the tool shouldn’t be able to interfere. I think homepage (the tool) was mentioned as an example since they have a docker integration that only needs reading access

How?
