- Comment on Selfhosting Sunday! What's up? 9 hours ago:
Self hosting wise, not much, just ran through updates (I prefer to do this manually) and set up a new box which will host another proxmost host and NAS.
The mobo/CPU that became the new server has been replaced with an Asus prime x370-pro and a spare 1700x to be used as a new endeavoros desktop (their defaults are close enough to what I want I dont bother with full manual install). Mostly need it for a KDE 6 box for dev/testing to go alongside the instances of Trixie/Sid, since I’m considering arch for some work stuff that Debian won’t fit the bill for.

My FIL got back to me this morning, he’s only using the an editor and printing his own music, so unfortunately no recommendations to be had there sorry.

I want to caveat with I have not used any of this. This is just a link I sent to my FIL so he could find something to fit his needs, maybe it will help you too.

- Comment on Anyone had any luck running Fusion 360 on Linux? 5 days ago:
Just wanted to mention, I do this for work apps, including Autodesk products (and a bunch of niche industry apps).
I have a base VM for Windows (really for a few different versions of windows, some applications are horrifically outdated but still needed), which has nothing installed but the bare necessities. None of the junk from the microsoft store, just a working set of drivers, including GPU for pass through. I block local network access for everything but access to a specific directory on my NAS (mounted proxmox-side so Windows doesnt see it as a network endpoint, just as a mounted drive).
I clone that image for each application I want to run independently.
Its been my method for a good few years now, aside from my work laptop its the only bit of windows I have. It also keeps a nice separation of my work stuff from my personal stuf.
I then boot the VM for whatever application I need, and off we go!
Highly recommended if you’ve got the setup to support it. And you don’t have to go anywhere near the extent I do, I mention it just to share how far you can take an approach like this.
Hope it helps!
- Comment on Looking for recommendation to upgrade my Raspberry Pi-based home server 6 days ago:
Oh definitely they are my preferred overall.
I tend to find mostly dells, with a few HP’s and lenovos. Next to me are…. 3 lenovos, 4 dells, and 2 HP’s. A few more are in the bin behind me I’ll need to test and sort out before I put into use (anything dead I salvage what I can).

Completely fair, I was thinking of the little 15W desk lamp stuff, but the bigger/brighter incandescents could rival my desktop for sure!
- Comment on Looking for recommendation to upgrade my Raspberry Pi-based home server 6 days ago:
Similar cost, more flexibility, quite a bit more power - usff PCs. Tiny / mini / micro, used. Less wattage than an incandescent light bulb, and some can compete with a pi 5 in idle power consumption.
I’ve got an elitedesk 800 (i5-7500t) clocking in at about 6W at idle. Take a look and see if it will work for you.

I don’t think any reasonable american would take offense. I would prefer it wasn’t either.

Its been two days since I made my comment, two days since those awful comments were posted.
Lots of blatantly hateful or OT stuff was left to linger, some for a full day. My comment stands.

- Comment on Can Mac apps be emulated and run on Windows? 1 week ago:
It does! Pretty decently at that. Though I mostly used it so I could build for iOS. Got a refurb with apple silicon a bit later on, builds are faster, so it gets turned off quicker.
- Comment on Framework supporting far-right racists? 1 week ago:
They said a hint of the kind of person, you took that to nazi. There is a lot more up on DHH’s blog… including complaining about being called a nazi, btw.
Because, you know…. he’s a nazi. Even that “wahhhh” post is just full of nazi talking points.
- Comment on Framework supporting far-right racists? 1 week ago:
Absolutely nothing about “the great replacement theory” is a far cry from being a nazi.
- Comment on Framework supporting far-right racists? 1 week ago:
Quite a few hours have gone by with some serious horseshit level right wing conspiracy bullshit comments left unmoderated.
That says quite a bit on its own.
- Comment on Framework supporting far-right racists? 1 week ago:
Well, I was considering some Framework hardware, but holy shit they are off the list now.
Not just due to their lackluster response, but that thread is just….. infested with hard far right and no real moderation in sight. What the absolute fuck.
How disappointing.
- Comment on Must my Jellyfin server be able to AV1 videos? 1 week ago:
Only an impact if the client device doesnt support av1. Then it needs to transcode.
The “various devices” you mention are your potential pitfalls here.
- Comment on Readarr alternative suggestions? 1 week ago:
Chaptarr is looking like it will be the choice, still really early though. Readarr + reading-glasses should work well enough for you in the meantime until chaptarr is in a better spot in development for regular use.

There tends to be a massive difference between what they say and what they want/do.
- Comment on Self hosted chore app 2 weeks ago:
I really dont find the management intensive at all, I mostly don’t think about it tbh. Thats why I caveated on self hosting, if its simple just an app will do. The moment you add in complication (multiple users for example) it starts to make quite a bit of sense. Most of those tasks also have a related consumable (and another task as a result, such as ordering diapers to use my diaper pail example). Even the robovac example goes to consumables, like replacing the filter/brushes/etc. Or cleaning the sheets means laundry detergent, etc.
Unless you mean the grocery portion, which I do while shopping to check needed items off the list and set the stock (simple scan from the phone).
- Comment on Self hosted chore app 2 weeks ago:
Grocy if we are talking big enough to host.
Then bring it into HA for simple dashboard access (or to clear events triggered by something else, like starting the robo vac, or a button for when the diaper pail bag is taken out, etc)

- Comment on flohmarkt a federated alternative to ebay and facebook marketplace 2 weeks ago:
This is correct.
You used to have to go by city/metro area only, but now you can do it by search area. That said, you can alter your metro area or search radius at any point.
- Comment on flohmarkt a federated alternative to ebay and facebook marketplace 2 weeks ago:
It is very odd that anyone would place such limits on functionality on an internet-bound platform.
And a federated one at that! Creating silos like this is… Counter intuitive.
I’m having trouble understanding if this person is representative of flohmarkt or not, but either way, I don’t think they understand any of our questions or arguments.
They admin slrpnk.net, no idea of their involvement with flohmarkt.
I think its safe to say they don’t understand or don’t care about any concerns though, agreed.
- Comment on flohmarkt a federated alternative to ebay and facebook marketplace 2 weeks ago:
It is a good design goal to foster decentralisation.
Its a shitty design that fosters silos.
And please stop demeaning yourself as a user. Are you a drug addict or what?
Stop being an asshole. I’m explaining a position and a use case, which is used for good software design.
This is a shit design. Many others have said the same and expressed their concern. You have decided to act like an asshole for no reason while I tried to explain why its a problematic design. You do that from a user perspective.
There is zero reason for you to suddenly behave like a rotten kid who was just told his toy wasn’t made well. Grow the fuck up.
- Comment on flohmarkt a federated alternative to ebay and facebook marketplace 2 weeks ago:
Ok, now you’re just being an asshole rather than understanding why its a design problem.
We are absolutely done with this conversation now. Goodbye.
