- Comment on Building Cheap & Efficient Home Servers with... Laptops? | Hardware Haven 1 week ago:
Especially when starting out it can also be quite helpful to have a screen and keyboard attached to the server and not only SSH access.
To prevent battery issues it is often possible to limit the charge level in the bios.

- Comment on Hosting files on the LAN to trusted folks at a LAN party -- FTP? 2 weeks ago:
You could try this: github.com/drakkan/sftpgo
But in general for some quick adhoc file upload classic FTP is still not bad.

Samba on a Linux user meeting? lol 😅

- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
Debian is a good base for a server, but most people don’t bother with a fancy desktop on their server 😅
The machine is probably going to be a bit expensive to run 24/7 due to the old CPU and probably unecessary GPU, but it depends on the electricity prices where you live.
Start with some basic things you actually want to use. It’s not hard and you can figure out most things with some persistence and web searches.
- Comment on Hardware recommendations 3 weeks ago:
Many people like cheap refurbished thinclients, and Intel CPUs 6th gen or newer are not so bad on power consumption.
A RasberryPi has the advantage that you will find a lot of easy to follow guides and if you get a NVMe hat for it to have fast database storage then Nextcloud should be relatively happy (it is a bit bloated these days).
- Comment on bewCloud is a modern and simpler alternative to Nextcloud and ownCloud written in TypeScript 3 weeks ago:
I switched to github.com/kd2org/karadav from Nextcloud as I can continue using the Nextcloud apps and other WebDAV integrations. Together with www.filestash.app it makes for a quite nice and lightweight Nextcloud alternative.

It does work on the latest version of the default interface. There was a fix recently.

I tend to use Hugo these days, which can be a bit janky as well, but there are nice themes for it.
If you want somethink really easy and Permacomputing compatible this looks pretty neat though: lichen.commoninternet.net
- Comment on Since militaries are authoritarian, even in democratic countries; What would a military of a stateless/anarchist society look like? 1 month ago:
The militias in Rojava (northern Syria) are kinda working that way. There are no real ranks and they were quite effective fighting ISIL and Turkish proxy forces in recent years.

Most of human history…hmm checks notes… since the invention of capitalism about 400 years ago, yes.
Even serfs under feudal lords had significantly more free time and while basic child labor was common, it was mostly in family run farms.

- Comment on IPFire 2.29 - Core Update 192 released [firewall] 1 month ago:
I went from OPNsense to IPfire 😎
Yes, it has less features, but most of the stuff in OPNsense is convoluted and rarely needed, and IPfire being a more standard Linux definitely helps customizing it further.
One of the big disadvantages of IPfire right now is that it is IPv4 only right now though. They plan to fix this for the next major release, but that is still a bit out I guess.
- Comment on Mastodon to GoToSocial Migration 1 month ago:
Its much leaner and also has some nice privacy/consent features that Mastodon lacks.

- Comment on Now that Trump is getting real chummy with Putin where does that leave China? 2 months ago:
Generally speaking Trump is not getting into an alliance with Russia, but rather joins the “multipolar” club of imperialists that want to carve out their own sphere of influence with out the others interfereing. China agrees with this but there are other reasons why the interests of the US and China still clash.
- Comment on Can I move my nextcloud account from a provider to my own server? 2 months ago:
You might be able to ask for a SQL database export that you could try to import into your own Nextcloud instance (with the same version).

- Comment on What are the recommended server specs for different Fediverse software? (Especially Hubzilla) 2 months ago:
I see you already got some reasonable responses in your cross post.
Specifically Hubzilla is very light on resources. It will basically run anywhere. I had it running on an extremely cheap shared php host some years ago and that was mostly fine.
Xmpp is also lightweight, but Matrix scales very badly once you try to enter any popular rooms with your server. It is better to run a xmpp server with a Slidge based Matrix gateway.

Thanks for sharing this detailed guide.
Would be interesting to hear in a few weeks how hosting either on a Rpi5 holds up. I suspect it might be a bit underpowered for a well federated server.

- Comment on Make a JBOD Enclosure video 3 months ago:
HDDs are also available in 2.5", but yeah the real cost/GB advantage you can currently only get with large capacity 3.5" HDDs.
- Comment on Make a JBOD Enclosure video 3 months ago:
If you use 2.5" drives you only need a 5V power supply, which makes improvising one much easier.
