if you wire up some blinky LEDs to the power supply, then yes. I NEEDS THEM BLINKYS

Next step is to free the acer from it’s physical bonds and screw the motherboard to the 3D printed stand.

bro doesn’t get it. A substantial subset of selfhosting is using old tired stuff to make new sweet stuff. The only new parts on my machines are nvme ssds for the OSes and plugs and wire adapters. Everything else is yanked from an ancient unit or bought from ebay for pennies on the dollar of new. My services are free and my machines were close.

RomM looks really cool. I’ve had difficulty with getting the Retroarch container to play roms with acceptable latency and without crashing. Is RomM easy to set up and does it handle the heavy lifting in such a way as to not tax resources? I’m on an i5 thinkstation with onboard graphics. My system does not like Wayland at all.

I hear you on that. Just sharing my experience with this new toy I really like. Someday we’ll be able to flash these android machines to a google-free OS, and that will be wonderful. Oh and it plays games in an emulator everything up to PSP.

If you’re talking about running a jellyfin client, not a server, get an android tv box. I have two tiers of ONN android boxes, 4k and 4k pro. I installed projectivy and smartube, as well as a client for navidrome and jellyfin. NO ADS EVER. I’m head over heels. The jellyfin client on the 4k was weird for a while, but I disabled a bunch of metadata plugins on the server and it straightened up.

I suspect as long as you’re just playing things off the server and there is no transcoding or whatnot going on, you should be fine.

I’m Happy either way. That code is the compose for the Firefox container I use. Lemmy just didn’t like my formatting.

Can someone help a geezer out? I’ve stepped away (or gotten permabanned) from all social media except for this one. I barely understand the fediverse. If I don’t plan on starting my own lemmy or mastodon community and literally nobody cares I exist, is there a benefit for me to run a fedi server? Would it help the cause in some way?

Thank you all for your input. ultimately I discovered that the volumes that had been stored inside docker’s directory (on WSL) were actually not the ones I was worried about losing.

My container directory where my compose files are categorized and stored turned out to have everything I really needed. It did take reducing the hashed docker internal volumes to tar.gz to figure that out.

Anyway, I just stopped (not “down”) docker and copied the directory onto one of my extra SSDs. Then I shut down the host, took out the Windows nvme, booted from my Debian SSD, made and mounted a new master container directory, and copied the files over. I had to update the compose and config files to use the new file paths, but once that was done, I did a compose up and everything took off pretty much without a hitch.
