This is pathetic.

Dude, the 80s wasn’t 40 years ago…

Damn I got old…

I known this us a few days old but just wanted to chime in. I’ve been enjoying the “1 liter/mini pc” trend in home lab/server lately. I got myself a couple of hp elitedesk mini 600 g4’s for $120 each on ebay, they have an 8th gen intel i5 and support quicksync. If you’re patient you can find similar mini pcs for around the $100 price range, they’re generally cheaper than nuc or nuc clones and since they’re big name brands (hp, lenovo, Dell, etc all have a version of them) you can find parts for them easily on the used market.

I just use Google keep to note when I do maintenance and I tag it as vehicle maintenance. If I need to know when I rotated the tires I can just look through everything in that tag to see. For things that I want to keep a receipt record of I scan the receipt and put it in a folder for the vehicle labeled something like “oil change engine air filter 34k miles” and save it on my nas(would work with drive/dropbox/one drive too)

For home lab/hosting you can get really good performance out of used/refurbished mini pcs, look for something like hp mini 400 g4. They can be found for around $100 to $150 on ebay. They generally fit a 2.5 inch ssd drive as well as 1 or sometimes two m.2 ssd drives. I find that intel nucs are pretty expensive compared to the specs, like you’re paying a premium for the brand and form factor since it’s a bit of a niche market. These mini pc’s are more business office oriented and are way more accessible at a lower price.

I realize you’re asking about storage, you could go the route of turning that old server into just a dedicated nas and use other hardware for your services/compute.

That’s like the old “internet explorer, #1 browser… to download other browsers”

Connect for lemmy has a pretty nice clean look that can be customized to look a lot like RIF. Been enjoying it so far.

Port forwarding a wg udp port is way safer than port forwarding some application to login to from the internet. At least with WG you can’t even brute force it or anything, it’s a lightweight protocol that requires a client cert.

Was a bit of a concern to me but I have vw-backup running that backs up my vaultwarden config, and I use duplicati to send the backups to b2 storage so even if my entire nas blew up and was a total loss I would be able to get the data.

I also use duplicati to send a copy of the config to a vps so I can spin up a DR instance of vaultwarden if needed so I’ve got 3 copies of the data.

Jerboa won’t open for me, it pops up briefly then closes. On Android…

Edit: it’s working today for me wasn’t last week. However I can’t login to lemmy.world, it says the server version is too low.

Hoping to see Lemmy is Fun or something similar from them. Been on RIF for years…
