Best current hardware solution for selfhosting?
  • Moonwalk Moonwalk Now 100%

    Yes, I have a Pi4 2GB, it's still working as a second pi hole node. That's what got me into the world of self-hosting, but 2GB is not enough for a lot of things. I went from that to a N100 with 16GB of RAM, so the difference is huge and I think it's totally worth the money.

    I haven't tried Immich, but I probably will once I have a better solution for storage.

    I just have the included 500GB SSD and an external 2TB HDD, but I'm planning on getting a 4TB 2.5" SSD to put it inside the mini PC, since it has an extra slot for that.

    I recently got the Beelink Mini S12 Pro. I'm completely impressed with its capabilities, especially for that price. I got the 16GB Ram N100 version. Great piece of hardware.

    I'm running 27 different services, including the *Arrs, Jellyfin, paperless-ngx, home assistant, and even stuff like Kasm workspaces and emulatorjs.

  • How does everyone feel about iPhones?
  • Moonwalk Moonwalk Now 83%

    I'm so used to Android that when I try to use a friend's iPhone it just doesn't seem intuitive to me. But to be fair the same happens with heavily modified versions of Android, like MIUI.

    I think iPhones are mostly ok, but I can't stand the fact that something so expensive feels so laggy because of the 60Hz refresh rates.

    They have pretty damn good face recognition though, but at the price of a gigantic pill/notch on the screen.

    But then those would only be the hypotheses, they would have to test those "revelations" and analyze the results of those tests to get a conclusion. And that's science, my friend.

  • Ok, how do I start self-hosting?
  • Moonwalk Moonwalk Now 66%

    I think you can get the full Orange Pi kit (Pi + sd + power adapter + case) for around 60 bucks on Amazon. There's also the option of going with a mini PC, you could find them from around 120 bucks.

    I know you're not asking for hardware recommendations, but using an old PC may increase your electric bill way more than any of these options, so that's something to bear in mind.

    That's a great idea. I'd prefer this instead of instances that are mainly focused on specific topics

  • How does everyone feel about Samsung phones?
  • Moonwalk Moonwalk Now 100%

    I haven't had a Samsung phone since Android Gingerbread, but I do have a Samsung TV in my guests room and every time it gets turned on, my pi-hole blocks a lot of traffic under the ads and tracking category, so Samsung's phones are probably similar.

    I think their screens are really good and they also have 5 generations of foldable devices, more than any other company.

    Still, I wouldn't buy one because I don't like their software and they tend to restrict functionality unless you use other Samsung devices. For instance, a Samsung Galaxy watch, even running Wear OS, will not have all the features enabled unless you pair it with a Samsung phone.

  • not seeing any non negligible difference between 60 and 120 Hz, am I weird?
  • Moonwalk Moonwalk Now 100%

    After reading all the comments I'm thinking it really comes to what you're able to see. If you see no difference between 60 and 120, good for you, set it to 60 and save some battery. If you're able to see the difference, like I do, you'll just enjoy the extra smoothness. I've always seen the difference between 60 and 90/120. I think it also comes to the content. For me it's like this:

    • For videos, whatever refresh rate is ok as long as that was the intent of whoever created it.
    • For games 30 is playable, 60 is good, 120 is beautifully smooth. The type of game will also play a role here. An fps will benefit more from higher refresh rates.
    • For moving UI elements 30 is unusable, 60 is ok, 120 is really comfortable.

    TL;DR Some people will see it, some people won't. Do whatever works best for you.

    I'm sure they meant TOTP 2FA for the accounts saved in Bitwarden, not for the Bitwarden login itself.

  • Recently wefwef.app added an option to add the link to all of your reddit subscriptions (multireddit link from old.reddit) and search for replacement subs. You can pick which communities/instances you want to subscribe for each sub. You should know this because it can make your life easier if you want to search for communities you're familiar with.

    Opinion - What are your thoughts on password managers? Do you use one? Would you recommend it to others?
  • Moonwalk Moonwalk Now 100%

    One more vote for Bitwarden over here. I use the paid version, which is really cheap and because it supports the development. Been using it for almost 5 years and it's the absolute best.

    I like to use the ones includes in oh-my-zsh. It's a big list, but the ones I use the most are:

    gst --> git status

    gcam --> git commit -am

    gcp --> git cherry-pick

    gsta --> git stash save

    gstp --> git stash pop

    gpsup --> git push --set-upstream origin $(git_current_branch)

    I'm an Android user and I never used Apollo, but wefwef is just amazing. It works surprisingly well, especially for a PWA. It will be my app of choice at least until Sync for Lemmy is out.

  • Google is laying off employees at Waze
  • Moonwalk Moonwalk Now 100%

    If google implemented the social aspects of Waze into maps it would be the ultimate maps app. I understand that the nature of google maps is different than Waze's, but maybe including a social mode in maps that shows all the information that Waze shows would make it a million times better.

  • which app are you using?
  • Moonwalk Moonwalk Now 100%

    All of them. All the apps have room for improvement because they're mostly on early development stages, but it's nice to see each one's strengths.
