He already rescued Azerbaijan from two brutal wars that nobody ever heard of. Hasn’t he done enough?

I build from ewaste and keep things deliciously trashy looking.

Requiem for a dick

I’ve been wanting to get matrix up for my family and friends to chat with my 6 year old on her tablet. I found nextcloud talk to do all the things I wanted with none of the hassle. My daughter is a ridiculous texter.

Your approach works too. Something like CasaOS answers OP’s question directly. I was thinking about how I started on this journey. I wanted to play with enterprise level tools at home on repurposed e-waste. So I started with proxmox. But I also came to the table with a couple decades of Linux experience under my belt.

Those scripts make it so easy. You can paste a command, accept defaults, watch some text scroll by and finish with instructions on how to access the tool you just installed.

My homelab is low power as well. I’m currently running zero VMs. Everything is done with LXCs. You can run a pi hole on 512 MB RAM.

My wife and I go through hot & cold spells. I think we have similar drives, but our timing doesn’t always match up. I’m more of a “harness the power of the morning wood” sort of fellow. She’s more of a “I want it right now but he’s still at work” sort of gal. We both talk a big game, but work, childcare and adulting conspire against us.

Step 1: Install proxmox

Step 2: run the post install script here, disable anything enterprise, test or related to high availability.

Step 3: check out the other scripts on the link. I suggest starting with a pi hole and experimenting from there.

Lemmy does a good enough job of bringing content to me. But I appreciate your perspective. It’s definitely something to keep in mind as we get closer to the AI apocalypse.

I’m the same! I just don’t keep track of where all the useless knowledge in my head comes from.

This is so foreign to me. I never bookmark anything ever. I leave a few tabs open until I complete that task, read that article or decide I don’t care anymore.

I’d get myself banned this way. I forget the -p flag at least once per week.

I’ve had good luck with these guys: https://cloudfanatic.net/pricing/

I think they would fall in the less resources category. But they offer unlimited data transfer, and you can use any distro you want. I run slackware btw.

Gold star for you!

Nextcloud was too high fallutin for me. I share a zfs pool with proxmox’s file server appliance.

Check creality’s offerings. I’m happy with my ender v2, and it was about $130…before I started sinking a bunch of money into the hobby lolzzzzz

Did you mean “screwed more bigly”?

Never heard of this, but it sounds really neat. Can it actually replace ddg in my daily life?

CumBroth and oldfart, thank you for being internet heroes. Soulless is the best.

If you are lucky enough to have a microcenter near you, go in and talk to the person working in the maker section.

I picked up an ender 3 v2 dirt cheap as the new versions were rolling out, and I have no regrets.

Someone else said these are not good beginner printers because they’re sold in kits you need to build, but that was a great way for me to learn about the machine. Yeah I had some crappy prints in the beginning, but that was part of the process.
