⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fitting a server with desktop hardware in a 1U rack mount chassis⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:
The 1U system I had, the heatsinks have been fanless and not the extruded aluminum block one usually thinks of, but an assembled stack of much thinner, more rigid fins. It relied on airflow from fans mounted in the middle of the case, between the mobo and disks, shrouded to focus that airflow. I want to say 2x40mm fans per processor.

You should expect a 1U system to run hotter than a desktop, and definitely hotter than cooler advertisers want. CPUs are designed to operate up to 100°C or so, and the constraints that lead people to use 1U form factors generally include replacing those systems regularly, basically because of burnout.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Moving db data (MariaDB) to NFS NAS Hello self-hosters! :) I’d like to tap in⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
Not nextcloud, but I have several containers set up to use ‘third party’ database - ie, not running inside the container or compose group, sometimes on a second machine. It definitely complicates the setup. I haven’t noticed any performance issues, but my services are low load.

I would think that the db running on the Pi with storage on the Pi could be faster than the db running on the laptop with storage on the Pi. The Pi db would presumably have higher bandwidth to the Pi storage and only have to transfer the selected data over network, where the laptop db has to do all the db sorting, filter, and processing over the network, although I suppose the db would try to keep all the data in RAM. I know there’s limitations to Pi’s internal bus bandwidth, Maybe you can compare the hdparm performance of the NAS RAID vs the NFS mount.

Growing up in the US midwest, ‘bastardized version of actual food’ describes a lot of what I grew up with. Common substitutes: cream of mushroom soup for bechamel; mayonnaise for creme fraiche; hot dogs for literally any sausage or charcuterie; thyme for any herb.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How I self-host my ebooks and audiobooks⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:
Just what I was looking for. Recently got a kobo for experimenting, and just starting to figure out how to integrate it.

I’d still rather physical books, but sometimes there’s just too much premium for too shitty of POD trash.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Most slopcode projects are abandoned and deleted within months of release⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
I like Cory Doctorow’s take: AI is good for single-use, personal code to solve an immediate problem, and terrible for long-term, production projects. I imagine there’s a bunch of neophytes out there who use AI to create their first project, find out that github exists, and thinks someone else must be having the same problem they just solved, so why not release it to the public?
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Six charts show how clean power was world’s largest source of new energy in 2025⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
It’s a promising benchmark, but I look at their first graph and see that oil & gas growth haven’t slowed since 1965. Coal slowing since 2005, but that may just be reaction to a big 2000-2005 coal boom.

What’s promising is that we’ve finally gotten to the point where there’s enough renewables where their rate of change, if not actual amount, is meaningful on the global scale. You no longer need to plot renewables on a separate graph, or on a log scale, to even see them.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Internal resolution of gateway⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
Dunno how well it would work with kubernates internal networks, but my DNS is configured with different views for internal and external clients. So, when letsencrypt does a lookup, they get the external IP, but when an internal client looks up the same name, they get the internal IP. TLS is happy, because the certificate matches the name. I’m happy because it works even when the ISP is down.

Why would I want to learn wordpress, much less spin up a database, for that?
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨DepthSight - a self-hosted, federated algorithmic trading platform with a visual strategy builder (AGPL)⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

Is the topic of financial/trading tools just completely off-limits here, even if it’s AGPL and self-hosted?

Not necessarily. The platform (lemmy, not just c/selfhosted) is full of anti-corporate leftists and anarchists. You’re more likely to find people who want to burn the stock market to the ground than to participate in it, esp highly speculative algo trading.

I’ve seen plenty of people ask about self-hosted personal finance or portfolio tracking, so there are people for whom your project might be relevant. Just seems more like a r/wallstreetbets kind of thing than a lemmy kind of thing.
