We are talking about price relative to performace, not performance in general.
But the cost of the hardware is anyways not so relevant when the price difference of the software easily makes up the difference.

You still easily can with second hand components.

That period repeats every 3-5 years approximatly towards the end of a generation but before the new generation is announced.

You mean like today when sites don’t work without using Chromium or if you dare to have some tracking protection active?

- Comment on Kew woman fined £150 for pouring coffee down drain in Richmond 1 week ago:
Most street drains these days are for stormwater only and are not connected to the sewerage system or a proper wastewater treatment plant, thus pouring liquids into them is not much different from just pouring them into nature somewhere.

Let’s hope there will be a VR version.

- Comment on Selfhosting Sunday! What's up? 3 weeks ago:
Played around a bit with hosting Flohmarkt and Manyfold. Promising fediverse projects, but still a bit early days.
Also looked a bit into running Piefed on via Podman, but didn’t progress much with it. Looks easy enough though in general.

Looks like Windows Subsystem for Linux 😅
- Comment on flohmarkt a federated alternative to ebay and facebook marketplace 3 weeks ago:
I guess I could share my Podman service files sometimes.
The main annoyance I had when setting it up was that you have to set an ENV variable for the timezone, otherwise the map for the location choser during the initial instance setup doesn’t show up thus making it impossible to proceed.
I guess this is probably an unintended bug and I should make an issue on their Codeberg about that sometimes.
- Comment on flohmarkt a federated alternative to ebay and facebook marketplace 3 weeks ago:
It is pretty early in development, but so far quite nice. I set up a test instance a few weeks ago and are quite happy with it so far.

- Comment on Backups? (and Intro) 5 weeks ago:
If you use btrfs (nice for simple ad-hoc raid1 setups) then github.com/digint/btrbk is a very nice tool to automate snapshots and backups over ssh.
You can also improvise a setup with an external usb drive that you only connect once a week or so to do longer term backups. This isn’t exactly an off-site backup but somewhat similar if you store that drive away from the servers.

Snikket isn’t really ment to be customized with other components right now, but it is possible to get Biboumi working with it.
Most people use Biboumi as a bouncer for external IRC networks, but of course it also works with a self-hosted IRC server.
- Comment on Selfhosting Sunday - slrpnk edition 1 month ago:
Where is this mesh network located? Sounds amazing.
- Comment on Selfhosting Sunday - slrpnk edition 1 month ago:
Why not Biboumi as an IRC bouncer?

I finally need to get around automating the deployment of a Hugo based website via Forgejo webhooks this week.
- Comment on State of federation in git forges 1 month ago:
They are the org hosting Forgejo development and are well aware of efforts to add federation to it.

In the video he explains how he removed the battery and made a direct power connection.

- Comment on Lynx-R1 Headset Makers Release 6DoF SLAM Solution As Open Source 2 months ago:
Neat. Now we need someone to completely jailbreak the Occulus devices so that we can install a custom android rom or GNU Linux on it.
Mainline Linux support for those Qualcomm chips is already not bad.
- Comment on State of federation in git forges 2 months ago:
Yeah, sadly Forgejo is the only one working on it and it seems like the Gitea base code is making it somewhat difficult to implement (aside from the various moderation issues that come with federation that also need to be solved).
- Comment on Self-host : review appreciated 2 months ago:
Ah, with OpenBSD? That is rather niche…
- Comment on How To: Setup and configure Forgejo with support for Forgejo Actions and more! 2 months ago:
You can try heptapod.net which is a Gitlab CE softfork with added Hg support.
- Comment on VPS provider 2 months ago:
Hosting from home is another option that can safe a lot of money over time.
Ionos has an really cheap 1€/month VPS that seems to be pretty good value for small things though.

This is unlikely to work and I doubt data protection agencies will bother with taking up your complaint.
- Comment on Sync-in, a new alternative to Nextcloud 2 months ago:
Nextcloud started out as file focused, and many people that run Nextcloud since a while now, consider most of the additional features to be unnecessary bloat; I for example stopped using Nextcloud because of its featuritis and abyssal performance.
