Dockge for docker compose stacks. Glances for system resource usage because it has a Homepage widget.

I'm running a mini-PC with the N100, 12GB RAM, and 2x18TB mirrored drives on ZFS and it seems to work well.

[Immich] What is the "proper" way to navigate migration from another service (all photos are already on the server) in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

I migrated using the CLI tool to upload before external libraries came out, and it worked well for me. I think I would have preferred to use external libraries for things like my wedding photos, so there aren't duplicates on my server, but it's not a big deal.

People really hold their mouse like that?! in c/[email protected]

I always used fingertip with small hands and never thought it was weird. I just figured out maybe it's because I played piano growing up? It feels more natural to have a C shape with my hand and space between the mouse and my palm.

What are some good somewhat older smartwatches that have a heart rate sensor and work with modern versions of Android? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago

I have a Miband 6 and it's pretty nice. The advantage over bigger smart watches is the battery lasts like 2 weeks more per charge.

Best current hardware solution for selfhosting? (lemm.ee)
 

I use my desktop PC for Jellyfin and torrenting, but I'm looking for something that I can keep on 24/7 that draws less power and run other self-hosted services on Linux. I would like to have at least 2x 14 TB 3.5" hard drives in or attached to it with the possibility of expanding in the future.

From my research, these seem to be some good options:

  1. Mini PC like this Beelink S12 Pro + USB hard drive enclosure. The price seems reasonable for the specs and low power consumption. Not sure if USB will limit transfer speeds.
  2. ODROID HC-4 or similar SBCs. I feel like these have much lower performance for not much price savings, and it's harder to get software running up because of ARM. But it seems like they don't use too much power.
  3. Used enterprise PCs/servers. I know they can be found cheap used, but I'm a little lost at comparing the performance and power draw to other options.
  4. DIY build. I'm interested in getting a Mini-ITX case like this Jonsbo N2 and getting parts for it, but it seems like it will be the most expensive option. It does seem like the most modular and upgradable.
  5. Classic NAS products like Synology. It seems like these are falling out of favor because they are pretty under powered for the price.

What does selfhosted think about these options, and what would you recommend?

Niger coup: Is France to blame for instability in West Africa? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

French colonization of Haiti was particularly horrible because of the mass importation of slaves and extremely poor treatment of slaves on plantations. But Haiti's poor development is also the result of many post-independence events. France forced Haiti to pay massive reparations. The US intervened in Haiti several times to prop up US-backed leaders who did little to develop Haiti.
