I run stock Pop OS and I've only recently wanted to give a shit about macros.

You should only care if you're running a specific software. By and large its AS SEEMLESS as using Windows.

Note that its not really BETTER its mostly just DIFFERENT.

I'm probably just stupid.

Yeah that's what's going to happen with the main blog.

Forgejo action > static HTML site > Cloudflared tunnel

This separate idea is to have a Lemmy instance to host pictures and federate the blogs comment system so people ideally won't have to sign in or make an account to comment.

 

I have a Hugo blog I'm setting up to work on my own forgejo server flow instead of through Github Pages.

I hate how pictures work on Hugo so I was going to just host them on a separate thing and embed the images that way.

Now I'm over thinking it and considering to just run a Lemmy instance, post the markdown for the blog posts there along with the images. Then I have an image host and a place to let people complain about my shotty writing in one go.

Plus there's federation visibility as well.

So short questions

  1. This a good idea?

  2. Are there better options?

  3. is it easy enough to set up a single user Lemmy/Piefed instance?

  4. Lemmy or Piefed? Which is easier to host

I think her dying trying is an important part of the point here.

I don't agree with it. I'm sure there's a more nuanced cause of death, but that's between step 2 and 3.

If I was depressed and the onion was already cut.

Yeah I'd eat it. Might eat it like that just to see.

Any idea what kinda cheese?

I think the problem you're running into is that Valve isn't doing nothing with that pay.

Like valve is actively making my gaming experience better by developing cheap hardware and a good system for gaming on Linux.

All the games I've ever bought, regardless of if they still sell them are in my library.

My save files are cloud synced for free.

I as the end user am having a good time.

I also have a sunk cost thing going on. I've been trying to buy and play more GOG games but I just have so much that works already on Linux without any work that it's hard to justify the tinker time to get it working otherwise.

They provide such a good service I think we've all forgotten about the children casinos for CSGO2 skins, but even that they're fixing (kinda).

Maybe its just nice to not be mad about something. Like its just video games, I don't really care if Valve has a monopoly on that since 1) Experience is good 2) they're not trying to have like a monopoly on water or something important. Bad take maybe, but there's enough going on that I just don't know if I could make myself care that valve is like 90% of videogame sales. Or whatever it is.

Its less upsetting and more baffeling

Like I'm not mad, usually confused and intrigued by the question.

Unless you're being a dick about it.

I'm personally allergic to doing anything to my distro other than installing games and VSCodium.

Its why I barely understand the X11 v Wayland discussion. I have no idea how to customize my Linux set up, if a troubleshooting step says "May bork computer if done wrong" I just reinstall the Distro or try another one. It takes like 5-10 minutes to install Linux on most modern computers

To me this is a feature of Linux. "It works on my distro" means I'm using that distro now!

 

So I have a a mini rack.

I have about 1.5 U of rack space and a model for a 4 bay 3.5 inch BOD

HOWEVER, no idea how best to connect them to a computer.

I'm thinking right now just plugging them into a Think center m715 with a powered USB hub.

I'm also thinking get a Raspberry Pi 5 and a nvme to sata hat, but I'm not aware of a way to power those 4 drives other than extra internal power supply. It would be convenient to just use like a wall wart or USB 2 power.

Thoughts? Best practices?

 

I've been looking at moving all my services to my 10 inch mini rack and I found Lenovo Tiny P320 computers with P600 GPUs in them. According to a reddit post from a while back these are 1060 equivalent and should be able to handle multiple 1080p 60fps streams.

My current Jellyfin server is in my Epyc 7302p server with a 4060 which I'm pretty sure is over kill for my use case.

Anyone else ever make a downgrade like this? Did it work out alright? For $100 for a P320 I'm sure I won't regert the purchase but I need to be talked into wasting money.

 

So I have rebuilt my Production rack with very little in terms of an actual software plan.

I host mostly docker contained services (Forgejo, Ghost Blog, OpenWebUI, Outline) and I was previously hosting each one in their own Ubuntu Server VM on Proxmox thus defeating the purpose.

So I was going to run a VM on each of these Thinkcentres that worked as a Kubernetes Cluster and then ran everything on that. But that also feels silly since these PCs are already Clustered through Proxmox 9.

I was thinking about using LXC but part of the point of the Kubernetes cluster was to learn a new skill that might be useful in my career and I don't know how this will work with Cloudflared Tunnels which is my preferred means of exposing services to the internet.

I'm willing to take a class or follow a whole bunch of "how-to" videos, but I'm a little frazzled on my options. Any suggestions are welcome.

 

Okay Kubernetes people. I am about to build my first cluster with 4 Raspberry Pi 4B 4gb models powered over POE.

I was going to host just some basic stuff on it (forgejo, a couple Ghost Blogs) and try hosting a Mastodon instance.

The documentation mentioned that I should not use the SD cards for database stuff. So I was going to get some super short thumb drives.

What is everyone else's set up look like with raspberry pis? And how important is matching hardware?

I'm sure I'll learn more from reading the documents but this is my concern right now.

(I was also required to upload a photo so have my Latitude D630)
