I’ve never done it myself but this may be what you’re looking for.

I didn’t realize they were being boycotted again. Oh well, back to job hunting.

Please! That would be very helpful. I tried but got tired of banging my head against a wall. I’d like to see how you approached it.

I also attempted a semi-successful build of Gentoo on a PPC Mac around the same time (nothing before or after that has compared in its level of nightmare).

Amen!

It’s doable. I personally run my Jellyfin instance publicly available and there’s maybe 3 people who use it regularly. With my internet connection, WAN side users are limited to about 720p but I’ve had the 3 of us all playing different media at the same time on occasion. The main limiting factors on the number of simultaneously active users is how much upload bandwidth you have and how quickly you can transcode video files. Any 10 year old box will be able to handle 1 or 2 users at a time provided it doesn’t need to do a bunch of transcoding. If your building a box, would use a 11th or 12 gen Intel or if you must go AMD, have a graphics card to handle the transcoding. The “build a box” route can probably handle 4 or 5 simultaneous users, possibly more depending on your hardware choices. The main limiting factor in that case would be your upload.

Didn’t read the article and I haven’t really used Android in a almost a decade, but aren’t most android devices on seriously old versions and sold with 2GB RAM or less. Or are shit Android devices less common nowadays?

Last time I seriously considered an Android device was 8ish years ago and devices running Android 2 were still being sold new.

Its a bot account. It also seems to have at least 15 Lemmy accounts. I’ve just started blocking them.

What’s your utilization? On how many cores?

Starting blind, I’d start with cleaning the case, fans and heat sinks with compressed air (canned is fine, do it outside). Dust builds up, and prevents proper cooling. DO NOT LET THE FANS SPIN WHILE CLEANING THEM, the reverse current will damage your system.

Check for any failed fans.

After that, changing the thermal paste might help depending on how well or how long ago it was applied originally. Paste is cheap so no need to be stingy. Generally lasts about 5 years before beginning to degrade.

Dig long ago dug its grave. Then Reddit jumped in too. Long live Lemmy.

I get the sarcasm, and the downvotes, but I have always viewed my employer more of a customer. My product that I am selling is my time, passion and skill. So with that in mind, what can you bring to the table? What’s your skill set?

If you have a CDL or can get one, almost everyone is hiring. Company driver pay is generally in the $55k - $120k range. Though your first year or 2 will probably be less. Downside is you’re probably away from home a lot, and are held personally accountable for any damage you do. Literally, I could quit my current job, and be hired and getting payed by a new company within the week. Historically the average has been 2 days.

If that doesn’t float your boat:

I know of several towns within a 50 miles of me, that don’t have local electricians, plumbers, HVAC techs or even a handyman. You could charge as much as the traffic will bear.

Everyone in the local area is looking for every type of mechanic and can’t find them.

Nurses are always in demand (and very much not respected enough). Pays well too.

If you prefer working with Unions, the Boilermakers and Pipefitters will both train you. Both have more work than people last I heard.

Farmers and Garbage collectors both are having their help either deported or leaving the country, so they are probably hiring.

But ya, if you’re looking for a nice comfy office job, that would indeed be a tough row to hoe. Everyone wants the comfy jobs, so they’re scarce and the pay is shit. There is a reason I drive a truck.

The TSA workers have the same simple solution to a shit boss everyone else has. If the BS out paces the pay, walk away.

I’ve always used NameCheap. Can’t speak to their ethics, but customer support has been excellent the few times I’ve needed it.

Before I grew enough spare capacity at home to self host our family’s server, I was using MCPro hosting. It was fine and at the time, cheap. I understand they’ve been bought by Apex now though. No experience with them.

Well crap. Knew it was coming but still.

Anyone know of a good weather service that doesn’t rely on NOAA?

Not OP but if I had to guess, probably Turnkey File Server.

When I was first playing with NC I was using a RPi3 with an external SSD for a drive. Performance was pretty good, but as soon as I tried the same setup in a VM, the performance tanked. The only way I found to avoid the performance penalty was a manual install like it was bare metal, which I didn’t really want to do. My experience with such setups is that they tend to be brittle.

My understanding was that the performance penalty was caused by the chain of VMs. Proxmox --> Ubuntu VM --> Docker. I don’t know enough about it to say for sure.

My NextCloud is running on an old desktop that’s been repurposed into a server. The server is running Proxmox, and NC is running in docker directly on Proxmox using the nextcloud-aio image.

Found that had better performance than running it in a VM and was less headaches than the other install options.

I keep thinking about moving it to dedicated hardware, say some sort of mini pc, but it hasn’t been a high priority for me.

So. Not my state, but I’m pretty certain that that might run foul of the US Constitution. Even with the current Supreme Court.

Really obscure stuff can be a bit of needle in a haystack. Some places you can try are Archive.org, YouTube, Usenet, and bittorrent (I have good luck on Pirate Bay, but YMMV).

I started running into the same problem about 2 years ago. Found a company called Send in Blue ( which has since been bought and is now called Brevo). They’re a commercial mail sender but have a free tier. How long that will continue to be available, I don’t know, but for now it solves my email sending issues.
