Watching the thread because I’ve recently been toying with the idea of using Dokuwiki as a place to store all my selfhosting notes.

This really is a bizarre thread, but anyways, thank you for sharing.

Well, if someone expresses a need for a community app, I’ll certainly recommend it.

Is this your project? I live in farm country. Large tracts of land between myself and others. Tho we know each other, and help each other out at times, there’s not a lot of ‘community’ like you would find in a suburb or city. It does look like a decent project tho. I bookmarked it in case someone expresses a need.

I am eyeballing this.

Not sure why someone would down vote this but, that’s a spot on idea.

- Comment on This community isn't your personal adviser 2 days ago:
I wouldn’t go as far as to say I’m a hero. It just seems a ‘thank you’ and a [SOLVED] would be a common courtesy, especially if someone took the time, and had the patience to muck through my feeble brain to tweeze out exactly what the issue was. LOL
- Comment on This community isn't your personal adviser 2 days ago:
I haven’t noticed many posts deleted by the user themselves. I see a lot of ‘deleted by user’ comments. I try to remember to put [SOLVED] on any serious post I make, after the fact. That way, someone searching can cross-moginate whatever their issues are with what solved the issue for me. Maybe the user deleting the post once it was solved is embarrassed they asked a supposedly ‘stupid’ question?

I just have two wires stuck out there. You have to twist the wires together to get it to ring, and you receive a little low voltage shock, so it makes you think whether or not you really need to ring the doorbell.

- Comment on What are your self–hosted alternatives for inter device communication? 2 days ago:
Admittedly, I don’t do a lot of shuffling files around from this device to that, however, if I do, I mostly rely on sFTP or SSH.
- Comment on [Meta] Removing definitions from Decronym? 2 days ago:
I have no hard opinion either way. It’s kind of neat in what it does. I’ve often wondered if we wrote a post with nothing but acronyms, if it would sent the bot into a tizz.

This might have something to do with it. Jebus…it’s a wonder anything connects sometimes.

- Comment on Question: What are some alternatives to a Raspberry Pi good for a small home server? 3 days ago:
I usually try to stay within the upper ranks of DDR3 equipment. DDR4, while a better option, is far more pricey than DDR3.

Huh…you’re right it is a redirect. It was up earlier. Maybe he’s feeling the hug of death.

Hey, thanks for sharing bro.
- Comment on PewDiePie releases Codex/ClaudeCode/Cursor killer, Odysseous (FOSS) 4 days ago:
Didn’t downvote. I use AI, and not ashamed of it. I don’t write huge programs and I damn sure don’t release anything to the public mainly because, in the back of my mind, I can just see some poor chap using my code and now smoke is coming out of his server. It works for me. Usually it’s ‘write a script that does _________’ or Docker compose files. It seems pretty accurate for those uses and if I need a bash command sequence explained, it’s good for that too.
I also use AI when I master my audio tracks before I upload them. I am clinically deaf and there are some frequencies that I just can’t hear well enough to make a judgement call. It’s pretty good at that too.

We have two very prominent universities in the area. Around graduation I discreetly dumpster dive their trash bins. You’d be surprised what I’ve found. Laptops, desktops usually small form factor, monitors, you name it.

Very good resource. Bookmarked.
- Comment on Question: What are some alternatives to a Raspberry Pi good for a small home server? 4 days ago:
Two 3060’s and two 3070’s. With the 6 core chips.
Nice! I generally stay at the upper end of the models which use DDR3. Yes, it’s not as snappy as DDR4, but the prices are much better.
- Comment on Question: What are some alternatives to a Raspberry Pi good for a small home server? 4 days ago:
Yet another good option. Just looked them up on Amazon. Going for around $130 USD.
- Comment on Question: What are some alternatives to a Raspberry Pi good for a small home server? 4 days ago:
I have actually been rather pleasantly surprised with the 7020 SFF. Going in, I was like 'OK it’s a $117 USD. Not going to break the bank to test it out. So I now have 40+ containers running on the 720 and my load averages look like it’s not even turned on. LOL

I’m looking for a couple more Optiplex 7020 SFF or similar and just get rid of all the heavy equipment.
