  • how to start with self-hosting?

    Jump

  • I agree but I do have to say that Yunohost is becoming bloated. Successive versions run way slower than they used to - I know it is part of the security and ease of use but it is becoming noticeable. You can also use some docker things in yunohost but for an absolute beginner Yunohost is by far the best way to do it.

  • Single board computer for selfhosting

  • RK3588 consumes less at idle and full power. I said more power hungry and it is exactly that. The n100/150 can be twice as power hungry when on load, you can spin anything if you want but they consume a lot more. Add in extras and it can add up to quite a lot more hungry, I have seen certain n150 setups use 4 times a similar setup on an RK3588 board for example - that is a significant difference

  • Advice for an EU (and in any case non-spying) Dynamic DNS provider?

  • Pretty sure you'd be better of with a tunnel like Cloudflare Tunnels, Tailscale, or something similar. They couldn't care less if your ip address changes. Of course Cloudflare is a big corp and doesn't fit your bill but it's the idea I mean not the corp and it is probably the most well known

  • You'd be miles better off with a mini pc with an intel processor than an RK3588 SoC. Drivers are sketchy at best whilst an N100 or similar will just work, plus they will easily take an ssd and other hardware much easier. Yes more power hungry but way easier to work with unless you want to tear your hair out with silly things. OrangePi are decent boards, for example, but they are way behind even a Pi for software support. If you must go ARM I wouldn't look past a Pi5, a decent one with a HAT for nvme/m.2 should do the job

  • Can't charge at home here and no public chargers nearby either...

    I'm guessing you are in the US as here in the UK more are against EVs than for them because charging costs out and about are higher than ICE cars and Teslas are pretty much hated, and they have by far and away the best charging network. My wife is disabled and believe me having an EV is way harder then because even silly things like the public chargers being as far away from service stations and amenities means it is counter-productive. We will never be able to charge at our current home either - it is banned in the contract

  • I'm "use NFS forfilesharing" old. what's the current optimal solution for shared drives if I have like 3 linux machines in the house?

    Jump

  • Oh it just doesn't like it as much as SMB... has work mandated VPN on it for starters! I use a truenas box for most of the backups etc. and I just share the same dataset via SMB and NFS and locally only, so it is sorted, but NFS on the Win 11 box is just way flakier and drops often

  • I still have to use SAMBA as Win 11 hates NFS with a passion and we have Win 11 boxes here supplied as work machines so no changing. Also wifeys gaming rig is Windows as she don't want to mess around getting stuff to work...But hey - for everything else it is NFS with all of its weirdness, but it just works a bit better than SMB

  • Most of my car friends won't touch an EV still here in the UK because the infrastructure isn't good enough, and those same friends won't touch a Chinese car either. Only a few have tried Tesla and all have got rid. Currently in the UK if you are a company car person you'd be mad not to get an EV as they are subsidised so much, but equally mad to get one as your only personal car as the charging network is shocking still. When here it is MORE expensive to charge an EV whilst out and about than fuel a petrol car something is seriously wrong

  • Apple managed it.... though plenty won't want Apple silicon in their pcs as in Windows. Plus Windows for ARM or whatever it is called this hour is shocking still

  • What external services do you use for your selfhosting setup?

  • Plenty of better DNS services out there...

  • It is a real pain, I host a small email service, and spend at least an hour a day dealing with issues sending emails.Mainly because users think it is entirely acceptable to send thousands of emails a day thinking they will get results from it. However, I have to say that I am telling most people to move away from email as it isn't that secure and those free email addresses from old ISPs are terribly insecure. Also seeing a lot of data stolen as people think 2FA via email is great, so hackers just hack the email server and boom

  • For me Cloudflare as I've been with them for years, Let's Encrypt and that is pretty much it...

    VPS that hosts my email and a few other things, and for clients that is where their stuff is hosted

  • fediverse/activitypub based linktree alternative

    Jump

  • I run a linkstack instance but it's not federated as such - and as said I cannot see the real advantage of doing so as they are just a page(s) of links. However linkstack can be pretty, is easy to maintain a list and runs as a docker container...

  • Started hosting my own Nextcloud and its awesome!

    Jump

  • Despite it getting a bit of a scattered mess, I still love Nextcloud as it can pretty much provide everything I want in a cloud service. Currently running via a yunohost setup because upgrading is way, way easier but I might migrate it to a truenas setup OR a docker container just because. The advantage of going truenas is that it is my main storage system with backup etc. but the disadvantage is if something goes wrong (I do have a backup to the backups ahem and it does have raidz1 so I should be resistant to some errors)We shall see....

  • Like I said - each to their own. truecharts the apps are pretty much known to be more unstable as well, says that everywhere in the documentation. Truenas if it's up to date, using their app catalogue with stable selected is pretty rock solid for everyone.

  • Is the amount of Lemmy activity declining?

    Jump

  • Also re:lemmy/piefed - there are quite a few people who are very loud and vocal about things, and a lot of the opinions here lean to the left a lot. Not that it is a bad thing, but some folk appear to have got fed up of this and as a result have migrated elsewhere. I like it here, but it can be far from helpful at times

  • Is the amount of Lemmy activity declining?

    Jump

  • I'm in the UK and I am seeing a decline across virtually everything tinternet related. Years of rising rpices, job security worries and just a shift in attitudes has made people far more wary and less time to post, interact etc. plus the modern fragmented web doesn't help
