Got to be a hoarder, or a subcontractor for the WayBack Machine.

My ISP doesn’t cap, so I never really noticed/checked. If I had to swag, I’d say 300 gb to 500 gb just depending on what’s going on. A large majority of that is streaming music from Navidrome on a daily basis. Just one user. No mass downloading of Linux ISOs.

Ahhhh the WAF (Wife Acceptance Factor). I don’t have those issues, so I’m free to run amuck as I please.

750 reasons not to get back with your (Pl)ex

750 ways to leave your lover

As a kid I always thought the basement model train set ups were cool. Then as I grew into a young man, I thought it was kind of weird that some grandpa had a train set in his basement he played with. Then as I got older, it started making more sense to me. I don’t have a train set in my basement, but selfhosting I would imagine, is along the same lines at least for me.

@trilobite@lemmy.ml my man, I share your enthusiasm even at 71. I look back to the days I started with an Altair, which didn’t do a lot in regards to modern computers, but boy was I hooked. Today, I have a small OptiPlex MT coming in and I am going to set it up for a friend of mine’s son who has expressed a desire to get into selfhosting at the age of 10. I just checked the tracking on the shipment and it is out for delivery!!! I’m all giddy like a little schoolgirl at what the day has in store as I set up the server.

We’re going to start off small. A couple of Docker containers, and the boy wants to host a simple MineCraft server for himself and a couple of other school friends. I’ve got a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 low profile, to drop in it, and am going to max out the ram at 32 gb. The GTX 1650 isn’t the most banging GPU but it will be better than the onboard graphics and it won’t need additional power cables and will play well with the stock PSU.

I’m going to also install RustDesk so that any issues or questions he may have can be resolved remotely. I’m sure he will probably out grow the Optiplex in a few years (hopefully), but it’s simple enough to whet his appetite for now and could be converted into a simple NAS later on. The kid is just an impressive young man, gifted, but doesn’t lean back on his abilities and is always pushing himself academically or otherwise, to excel far beyond that of a normal 10 year old. Certainly head and shoulders above anything I was as a kid and I think it’s important to give kids all the opportunities to at least try something to see if they like it or not. He just received a fistful of academic awards recently. Most of the kids that were called up to the stage received a cert of achievement. They handed his in a folder there were so many.

I’M STOKED!!!

AI is pretty useful tool if used properly

It is, however we desperately need some heavy governmental regulation as much as I rail against over regulation. If AI entities are not willing to police themselves, then government should step in.

Mandatory AI disclaimer

At least you are upfront about it, and I certainly do appreciate the honesty.

It’s interesting OP. I use the evil Cloudflare Tunnels/Zero Trust, and I’m pretty much sold on it, much to the chagrin of others here. Yes, there are caveats, pros and cons. Even tho I am sold on the product, I would entertain a clone/fork/rewrite if it gave me everything that Cloudflare Tunnels/Zero Trust along with the security features. I’ll do some reading once the blog is back up.

Holy shit. That’s all I got

First, I don’t really care if you pirate whatever. I don’t, but I don’t preach at others who do. I figure, you’re all fully autonomous adults, capable of making your own decisions and living with them. I just found the statement ‘I love piracy as much as anyone’ while calling those that profit from piracy ‘criminals’, rather dichotomous.

The duality of man.

I don’t dabble but I just thought the cognitive dissonance was thick.

I love piracy as much as anyone

are basically criminals

Didn’t down vote but damn…

Just yanking your chain. I don’t run the arr stack but I’m constantly amazed how it all works together.
