And absolution nothing will ever be done about it because the system is rigged, always has been and until it's burned down and replaced, it always will be.

The RAM and Storage costs have skyrocketed due to AI. My home server is running 64GB because I just happened to have a kit laying around from an old project.

Hetzner has auctions on dedicated servers that can be really good. But if you just need a vps, check out Contabo.

Even 2 miles below the surface of the ocean the Titanic isn't safe from capitalism.

If I had $10,000 I'd pay to leave the US.

I had a fairly high end drawing pad no matter what I did, I could not get it to work properly on Linux. I needed up purchasing another and it worked perfectly fine with very little setup required. My work used to require Adobe After Effects and Adobe Premiere, but not long ago, maybe a year, they changed the workflow and I am no longer on the team that has to use those tools.

Otherwise, I've had very little issues, even with gaming. I think I've ran into 3, maybe 4, titles that wouldn't work on Linux, but they were kind of niche games. Most modern titles with even a moderately large audiences work just fine.

Looks like it's back up, may have been a temp issue.

 

Please forgive any typos, my brian is still very much recovering. I'm not promoting anything cause nothing I've made yet is really worth much to anyone but my self,and everything is far from polished. I'm just sharing what I'm doing. In November '24, I had a mid level stroke. I've had issues with motor skills, headaches, and short term memory, but for the most part I'm doing quite well. For the last 6-8 months, I build a home server, (AMD 3700x, 64GB of RAM, 6TBNvME, and 2x 12TB HDD, old NVIDIA 2060. I setup up Jellyfin, ripped our 400ish Blu Rays, DVDs, and TV Shows. Setup Navidrone, and ripped our CDs, Home Assistant, AudoBookshelf, ConvertX, MeTube, and several other apps mostly discovered here. I also wrote my own app to track our large physical Media Collection that has a few api calls for pulling info about the items., a dashboard app in the style of the old iGoogle, and I've started working on 2 other apps, one to track medical information like blood pressure, glucose, doc appts, care team, medications, etc. The other app is for TTRPG GMs to run games that will basically be a digital GM Screen with a dozen or so tools.

I was a web developer for 20 years before the stroke so I had some previous entry level experience with this type of stuff, but not on this level. Mine was more for like corporate websites. My doctor believes this process has indeed sped up my recovery significantly. So this is just a post to say thanks for this community that has given me tons of ideas for things to try.

looks like it got the hug of death. But very cool.

Yt.dlp. I wrote a small pyrhon script to give me a gui. Works really well.

 

Pretty much what it says on the tin, but for more context. My friends and I use Discord to play D&D and other TTRPGs. We also use it to send memes and just have conversations. We mostly do the chat, text, images, gifs, etc. But we also use the voice and video chat pretty regularly too. Screen share sometimes as well. So I'd like to try to find something that has all those features if possible.

The new ID or facial recognition requirement they are implementing is a deal breaker for a few of us, and so if I can set up some kind of alternative to make it a non-issue, I'd like to.

I'm running Ubunutu 22.04 LETS, AMD 3700X, 64GBRAM, 10x 6TB HDD, and and 2 4TB NVmE. Have a 2gb up/down internet connection. So I don't think we should have any issues making it work smoothly for 7 people.

This is what I'm currently hosting, might find something here that interests you.

AudioBookshelf: Exactly as the name implies Navidrome: Music Streamer MeTube: YouTube/Video Site downloader ConvertX: Converts hundreds of files. Beszel: Dashboard to monitor hardware MediaVault: My own app I wrote to track my Movies, Music, Video Games, Books. AMP: Video game server management software. JellyFin: Movie/TV Streaming Software FileBrowser: Browser based file management software. Radarr: Find Movies, download them. Sonarr: Find TV Shows, download them. ARM: Automatic Ripping Machine, put in a DVD/BluRay, Rips, compresses, and moves to JellyFin. (Huge pain to get working though, for me at least.) Pihole: Network management and Ad Blocker. Octaprint: 3D Printer management.

I have a bunch of other stuff too, like custom written scrips that show the info from Beszel on my Windows desktop via a Widget in RainMeter. Custom dashboard when I first login via SSH. My next thing to experiment with is setting up a custom website to use as a homepage dashboard for my browser, commonly used bookmarks, news feed, email alerts, weather, social media feeds, whatever else I can think of or get working.

And for anyone curious what the hardware is:

OS: Ubuntu 22.04 LTS with xrdp Desktop Environment when Needed CPU: AMD 3700x RAM: 64GB Boot Drive: Samsung 990Evo 2TB m.2 Storage: 2x Seagate BarraCuda Pro 12TB HDD RAID 1 GPU: NVIDIA RTX 2060

When I was a young man, boobs. But now I am older and wiser. I have matured into a man with more discriminating tastes.

I've heard of American Horror Story, I didn't know they made American Whore Story too.
