Don’t add a layer of abstraction until you need it, or you have the free time to learn it well enough that it won’t cause you problems while you experiment.

It’s like Dropbox but instead of the cloud, it’s at my house. Less expensive that way.

Not selfhosted but after I found catbox.Moe I haven’t had yo worry about sharing files.

What is iptv?

Shelves are so underrated

Assets maybe?

I already do 😂

Unfortunately goodwill does not sell computers but they do accept donations, so idk what they do with them.

There is one used computer store in town, but they have some kind of license agreement where they are only allowed to sell to people on food stamps or Medicaid or whatever. You can’t just go in and buy stuff.

Thanks!

Thank you!

That’s a really good tip!

What is webmin, i’ve never heard of it?

Use whatever you have lying around when you start and then when you need new hardware for a certain purpose you can buy it going with the system requirements of that software.

Seconded.

Especially if it could be done on a phone with a non functioning screen.

With chargie you could keep the battery hovering around 50%

For me the footguns in debian have been an unintuitive upgrade process that lets you break things, and configurations/software that don’t work well out of the box without user knowledge and intervention. But for my server, Debian has been very nice and lightweight.

Even though Ubuntu is not always pure good the way that Debian is (remember when they had Amazon advertisements and search integrated into the desktop), and minor annoyances like the apt advert are annoying, but they offer an amount of stability and ease of use that I think earns the nickname “preconfigured Debian”

Why is that, if I may ask? I’ve used both for years and personally I find Ubuntu has fewer footguns for a new user, and an easisr upgrade process.

Whoa! I love it already!

Can you blog about it or recommend one?

Calibre?

Zotero?

Mainly that they can’t enshittify because they’re already open. Tailscale is great right now, and free, but who knows in 5 years
