Honestly I’m done with Google Photos, I mean I get that it was free and that I shouldn’t complain about that, but I already pay with my privacy, so why pay money and have my data abused everywhere I go?

I now have a home server (second hand mac mini m2) with PhotoPrism installed

I hate that kind of stuff, when I see this I wonder if they hash the password at all

Finally someone that get’s it

Nice, cool to see more people have an arm Lemmy instance

Yeah makes sense! It probably doesn’t although I have no benchmarks to prove it, it just is enough for me. I know this much though: even if the x86 server had the same specs (ram, GHz) as the arm version it likely still draws more power

The server was a second hand server that has 32GB RAM and 2 i7 CPU’s, it was made in 2015 so quite old. The Odroid has only 8GB of RAM but for my purposes that’s enough, and given the power it saves it’s absolutely a bargain!

If I ever need this much memory again I can just temporarily spin up something more powerful, for all other 24/7 tasks I can keep up the efficient ARM server.

Yeah it’s mostly performance related. I have like 10 different websites running all at once, and while CPU and RAM aren’t 100% all the time, with a heavy load I don’t have enough free to do it

I wish the Pinebook Pro was updated cause I’d give that a shot. Or better, an ARM powered Framework laptop

I replaced my old Intel Core i7 HP ProLiant server with an Odroid M1 (ARM Based) and it consumes 2 watts compared to 72 that the Intel Server did.

The only thing I can’t do with it is my Minecraft server, it runs all else perfectly. Even the Lemmy instance of this account is powered by the same server! And what’s more it basically runs for free, as solar generates enough power for the server to consume, even when it’s cloudy.

Yes, I believe Intel should be afraid.

It still sounds very unreal! I’m in the EU, idk if it’s a thing here as well…

Hey lovely ethanol - thanks!!, I’ll let him know! He’s not on Lemmy (should I ask him to make an account? >~>)

Wow! So magical

While I heard of swatting, I’ve never heard of such a thing as companies sending police to your house and taking private property, to be honest. It sounds next-level. In fact, reading your comment makes me feel I just jumped in a parallel universe…

That can’t be real right? How can a company just send police to your house?

Oh that’s cool! I think it’s very nice you can feel things you can’t normally feel irl.

D-did you suceed in making your butt bigger? If so, I’d consider it a success!

I love how you also have taste in your dreams, I always enjoy that

I don’t know why Lemmy did that. I used the cross post function (which links to https://lemmy.emerald.show/post/204827). Do you know how to fix that?

And I wish everyone had dreams like this! It’s very enriching.

I actually like Flatpaks… I use dpkg/apt-get for system packages that cannot be installed in userspace, and flatpaks for desktop apps / games. Many distro’s have unified ways to update them anyway (at least VanillaOS has)
