my physical collection is mostly thrift store finds

it’s a spreadsheet right?

yeah, this is just child abuse

Depending on your location in the world, you can buy land, pay nothing monthly and own and use it for ever.

what the fuck guys, why is anyone paying council rates or land tax when there is any free land left out there. I’ll run the network cables; let’s fuckin’ go.

we ran out of IPv4 address space a long fucking time ago, you are infinity more likely to have a static IP address now because you’ll be behind a carrier grade NAT sharing it’s IP. you don’t really pay for a static IP anymore but the ability to directly address you’re own network.

having a hotspot you can turn on in an emergency is different from just leaving it on all the time, and even then decoupling the baseband system from your device is still worthwhile.

they claim 3% overhead, I bet you could get pretty deep before noticing.

and run Proxmox inside that VM

I prefer security vulnerabilities I can manage to privacy ones I cannot.

I’m sure they would have mentioned if they needed a cellular router

didn’t know you could still get a dial up plan.

j/k, but damn I’m so sorry, it should be illegal to call VDSL broadband.

Check routers at a pawn shops and see which ones can run openwrt.

I have a 10GbE switch and haven’t hit 500Mb/s. Network capacity likely won’t be your bottleneck.

edit: ok, we’re probably both making the same mistake here, 500Mb/s isn’t even saturating a gigabit nic, you likely mean 500MB/s

Where do I clock in?

the only bad time to buy more capacity is when you run out

I mentioned a cheap dedicated server because I’m not sure when quicksync was introduced, if you need to do any transcoding at all an intel macbook will probably catch fire.

and if you haven’t already then change the thermal paste. I have a 2015 pro as well and it gets real hot, factory paste can be a crap shoot if it’s even making contact in the first place much less after a decade and new paste actually makes a bigger difference in performance than I expected.

There’s nothing wrong with just running a laptop as a server until you have specific requirements it can’t meet.

Like maybe running a pi hole over wifi doesn’t fill you with confidence and you really need something plugged into your router.

in which case I’d get a cheap mini-pc. even something as cheap as an N95 will handle everything you want to do here easily but you can also go the 2nd hand 1L route which can be fun too.

finally picked up a bunch of cheap 2.5" sas drives to turn my dumpster server (Proliant DL380 G7 with 16 hot swap bays) into a backup server.

still trying to work out the specifics but the idea is because it’s a power hog and LOUD I want to use wake on lan to run a backup task and turn it off automatically.

I can turn it on via lan so I’m halfway there right? …

Lemmy

The fediverse isn’t just lemmy.

also is this your first day on the internet? blowing pedantic bullshit out of all proportion is the baseline experience on any platform.

Let’s hope so.

What’s next, Open source electric car? Building and living in an Earth Ship?
