What is your inexpensive hobby that you have managed to keep inexpensive and avoid investing a lot of money in?
  • Wait... those exist?

    Writing lore is pretty cheap unless you start getting very into fancy notebooks for it. My, my daughter and a couple friends like writing stories set in fictional works and sharing them.

    Honestly other than that...

    I put down £50 on a raspberry pi to lean about more about computers when I started a new job.... I'm trying to find a grand to upgrade my 3 pi homelab into something with a few more teeth.

    Mechanical keyboards... You can guess...

  • Best services to self host with a Raspberry Pi 4? (4GB RAM)
  • I have 3 rpi4 4gb doing job that I use practically every day.

    Pi-1

    • wireguard

    Pi-2 portainer agent

    • bedrock Minecraft server

    Pi-3 portainer main running omv6

    • Kavita - amazing comic book organiser and reader
    • emby - Plex and jellyfish both crapped out, apparently due to library size corrupting the dB, emby is very nice though.
    • homepage - nice homepage for everything
    • paperless (5 containers!) - just installed document organiser
    • metube - great yt-dl web wrapper
  • What books are you reading at the moment?
  • After being a sci-fi nerd for a long time, I want to read through some of the classics that inspire it. So I'm reading The Epic of Gilgamesh, with Lucian's true history next.

    Sounds pretentious I know but it's pretty cool seeing where some stuff originated from.

    Anyone have any I should add the the list then let me know.

  • Popular Hardware for Self Hosters?
  • This happened to me too. Got a job in bioinformatics... Got really into the tech side of things and now have:

    Wireguard - RPI 4 4gb dedicated which I might depreciate now I figured out how to use duckdns and port forwarding properly.

    Vault - RPI 4 4gb - OMV6 w/ portainer running half a dozen containers

    Docket-1 - RPI 4 4gb - portainer agent for Vault only running a Minecraft server

    They all run great but I definitely need something with a bit more Welly for Minecraft. I have most of the parts for a total replacement just need to get a Ryzen 5 and done

  • Saw this question over in r/Reddit: “If you could get one more season of a TV show, what show would it be?” | What show(s) would you choose?
  • Stargate!

    SGA - there was a planned season 6 where Atlantis ended up going through time, then to the triangulum galaxy and more time hijinks. Atlantis Vs Atlantis and peace in the Pegasus galaxy. You can find it on the josephmallozi blog as Stargate Atlantis virtual season 6

    SGU - had so much potential and season 2 was good. It ended with the crew going into stasis to travel the gap between galaxies...

  • Favorite Brew Method
  • Honestly I'm pretty happen with the inverted aeropress method. Wait a couple of mins once the kettles boiled so it's ~80°C, brew for a couple and press.

    Makes a decent brew.

    Although gotta say, my wife got me some fancy coffee bags ( ground coffee in a paper mesh bag), legit had me thinking about switching.

  • POLL - Will you stay on lemmy?
  • Yes! Annoyingly Reddit is such an archive of information for a tech in general and troubleshooting anything. Once the archiver's from datahoarders are done, why would I go back? Democratisation of the interwebs is just awesome too!

  • Looking for OneNote Alternative
  • How about obsidian.md? I switched over about 3 years ago now and havn't looked back. Everythings in markdown and stored locally, plugins galore, tons of docs so you can write your own if you want, very active community. Legit a great app.
