So glad I saw this post I’ve had an 8th gen kindle jammed under a pile of bullshit for quite a while because fuck bezos. Ended up being able to use winter break and now I can use the device without contributing to fascism. Today was a good day!
Thank you kindly
Book repos? I didn’t know such a thing existed. Can you share more?
Indeed, seems the only path forward. Thansk for sharing.
I’m on arch so its the highlight of every morning 🤣
Its a good suggestion and something I’ve considered. Unfortunately we’re using conduit as our server and that type of integration doesn’t seem to work well outside of synapse. That said I know some people have gotten it working I just need to dig a little deeper. It’s a chore for sure but it seems like the only path forward.
I wish I could convince my giant discord community to go anywhere else. It’s so fucking hard. I’ve built IRC networks and a matrix server. I host every fediverse app imaginable. I hate being attached to this company and my income being reliant on it.
I’ve been curious about running a hardware firewall/router, I’ve seen it discussed but don’t know much about it. I also hear a lot of people swear by their proxmox setups but I am a complete noob there so again more research would be required. What I’ve heard about running a proxmox setup has looked overwhelming at a glance.
yeah a TV box was definitely pretty high up on my possible uses list.
lol I haven’t heard the “RAID is not a backup” before but it’s true I’ll have to see how I would manage that and what data would be a good candidate for this implementation.
I have a ton of handhelds I usually use for this purpose and a pretty powerful workstation I use to run heavier games but I’ve thought about like a tv box setup for doing such activities in the living room. Could be fun.
Another good suggestion. I’ll have to look into how to get this set up I haven’t tackled something like this before.
Thanks I have a dark corner or two, this sounds like an interesting idea.
Thanks for the response. I currently am housing something like 24TB of data give or take so unfortunately I don’t think they’d make effective backups. There’s simply too much. I have my current storage array in RAID6 so that’s my backup solution at the moment.
I use Hetzner. Its fine. Boring/10 would use it again I guess?
this made me lol
I feel like when we were stuck on T9 there was an excuse for this.
Emacs is fucking awesome but I won’t get anything done once I fall in. I get more done in Vim.
