Hmmm
do not mean code is good
Doesn’t mean it’s bad either, but warrants checking out.
I guess I just don’t see it as douchey. To me is says, ‘hey this might be worth checking out.’ Besides Lemmy and a couple of long standing forums, I really don’t do social media so perhaps I not as jaded.
How so? It’s one of the things I check in addition to last update, etc.

Kinky.
As far as UI goes, that Proxmox Datacenter Manager looks similar to ProxCenter. I agree with @non_burglar@lemmy.world, in that a proper dashboard was missing.
Back in the late 60s, I heard a song by Jimi Hendrix called ‘If A 6 Were 9’. One line has stuck with me for decades and I’ve pretty much lived my life this way:
I got my own life to live. I’m the one that’s gonna have to die when it’s time for me to die. So let me live my life the way I want to.
Bow Chicka Wow Wow
Hey if you like a more intimate setting when you’re with your server, far be it from me to interfere. Throw on a little Barry White and some Ottis Redding and git sum.
If you are in this situation
It was a whimsical exaggeration.
Made me chuckle. Indeed, you do have a point.
Is <insert thing here> really Self Hosting?
I don’t really get hung up on the nomenclature and definitions. If you run your services off of a VPS and call it selfhosting, more power to you. No skin off my nose. If you run your services off of a homelab rack that dims the lights whenever you power it on and you call it selfhosting, more power to you. If you’re running your services off of an old repurposed, disposable vape unit, and you call it selfhosting, git sum. It’s a big umbrella and we can all coexist without nitpicking each other. Gatekeeping is something I don’t do, and it gets tiresome to hear others regurgitate the same trope over and over again.
ETA: @CallMeAl@piefed.zip, nice profile shot.
Dude. It’s like you opened a window and pulled the blinds back. I honestly had never heard of doing that. I’m going to have to spool up on this topic. Any good reading I can do?
You can mark the failing parts of ram as explicitly bad so Linux avoids them, just like with hard drives. Another way to get more lifespan out of this hardware.
I love this. I am being schooled. I honestly have never heard of what you speak of. But by golly I’m going to spool up on the topic.
I’ve heard this dude named @Andres4NY@social.ridetrans.it he uses them. I’ve never heard of that. TIL
14TB for $140).
Link me up, Scotty
(raises hand)!
Really. I would have never guessed. I mean, I’ve always viewed bad sectors as a sign of a failing drive. Just a really bad day in the future, marked as an appointment.
What kind of millage on the average do you get out of something like that?
Even used stuff is expensive nowadays.
No shit! I was shopping NewEgg for some used drives. Found a 500 GB HDD for $36 USD which I immediately clicked on only to find this warning:
Used - Very Good Erased (DoD 5220.22 M Compliant) and tested. There may be drives that have up to 25 bad sectors. There may be writing or >markings on the drive or the label may vary slightly from picture.
WTF. Who would buy a used HDD with up to 25 bad sectors?
Nothing fancy—I’m looking for 1 or 2 mini servers or SFF with at least 16GB of memory and a decent CPU (4–6 cores)
Not in the EU, so…
The Optiplex 7020 SFF with the i7-4790 chip are pretty robust little computers, regularly sell on Amazon for less than $200. The 9020 MT is a bit older, however still capable @ well under $200 USD on Amazon. I’d upgrade the 9020 to a i7-4790 chip which you can normally find, used, on ebay for less than $50 USD. The models in that range take DDR3 which you can find good prices for at https://www.memorystock.com/. I’ve been using them for years. The bad part about shopping for used computers on ebay is that, while you might be able to find some killer deals initially, most often they stick it to you good with shipping.
Also: Dell OptiPlex 3050 Micro Not too shabby either.
I just recently got a Optiplex 9020 MT 16 GB RAM for $124 USD / free shipping off of Amazon. Shopped around ebay for the i7-4790 which cost me $35 USD, and 16 GB DDR3 RAM for $50. Not a bad little set up for right at the $200 USD mark. I’m setting it up for a friend of mine’s son who wants to get into selfhosting at the age of 10. It’s no threadripper but a solid piece.
Money for nothin’ and your chicks for free. What a blessed utopia that must be.
Yeah. Lots of good info there.
That looks pretty cool. Doctor says no more lifting weights, but I do resistance training and speed walking. Might have to give it a go.
Am I technogrouch for continuing to watch video at no more than 1080p?
I rarely watch any video. Video tutorials just aren’t as informative to me, than if you read the exact same material. If it’s a tutorial on something mechanical, where part x has to line up with part z, or the wheels fall off, sure.
I’m not exactly sure what you are try to convey to me.
