Also if you’re considering new hardware already I really recommend looking into surplus enterprise gear. I run my whole lab on an R730XD. It holds a ton of drives, has an IDRAC (I can’t live without it now), ECC for extra peace of mind during ZFS scrubs, and they hold an insane amount of inexpensive RAM. They’re fairly cheap on eBay or from refurbishment companies. Bring your own drives with warranties though, used drives are a headache. Servers like this can be really noisy though, I keep mine in the basement.

I’ve briefly considered it but it is out of the question for me. Not enough space in the house and enterprise gear is way too noisy. This setup will probably sit next to the TV in the living room so it has to be as silent as possible.

This is really interesting, might be the way to go for me

I had thought of that, I didn’t really like the idea of using a third party service to access my machines.

Also I didn’t mention in the post, but, while my ISP gives me a public IP, I only use port forwarding to wireguard into my home networks. My services are exposed via a vps hosted on oracle cloud free tier free, which forwards public traffic to my server via another wireguard connection

How is that different from a VM and using docker inside it? Any specific advantages/disadvantages to both approaches?

No, I wanted something that I could upgrade if I wanted in the future, especially for disks. I still have 4x 3.5’ slots available in the case and as for sata ports on the mobo I can always by a controller to plug in the pcie slots

Funny 3 out of 12 are minecraft

What trackers are you using for kids shows? I’m having the same problem with older cartoons I want to archive but cannot be found in my native language

I think xournal++ has a journal background to handwrite music

Not one in particular, just the first thing that came to mind since I use it a lot on linux. I even use NewPipe on android, didn’t even remember it had an option to download

yt-dlp inside termux?

Baikal works wonders

I second this

I did that some time ago. I just put the letter in an envelope, with just the receiver address on it, went to my local post office, paid for the service and the stamps, left them the letter and I was done.

Ah, good old PlarformIO

Also depending on the architecture on the computer, this might be the only possible solution. I have a samsung m2020 series printer connected to a Pi to share it on the local network. Samsung Unified Driver does not work on armhf as it is only compiled for x86/x64, but splix can be compiled on armhf and it actually supports my printer

Others are saying to switch to the specific driver for your printer. If you do not want to go proprietary you could try and see if your printer is supported by the splix driver

What did you do to keep the card cool?

Poorly. Had 3d printer a fan duct and ducted a fan to the back of the case, to push-pull air. Those cards are made to work in server racks, with really high pressure and high speed fans, not really for a desktop. I have seen people on reddit mounting a modified 3070ti cooler on the tesla, but I had not had a chanve to try that.

And was it loud?

Yes, depending on the fans used. But high speed fans are generally loud. Also lots of vibrations, but that qas mostly fault of my incredibly sketchy setup

I used to do this with a nvidia tesla m40 and a radeon hd6850. Used the tesla for rendering amd encoding, the radeon for display output. I just followed the arch wiki pages related to nvidia optimus laptops and PRIME offloading. It worked but was a bit junk, in some other tests I did, when the radeon was used to render the DE, I had a much more fluid experience, offloading the rendering seems to lead to some micro stutters every now and then that make it a not so fluid experience. But ymmv I guess. Also I haven’t had any luck with two separate nvidia cards, but that was probably due to driver version mismatch between the two cards

Ok, thanks

What’s up with the in-app tracking? Is it just related to likes/dislikes?
