I like books, history, tea and terminals. Annoyingly reasonable.

Looking for recommendations for a mini pc server to start self hosting
  • Same here. I have everything running on an ex-lease HP EliteDesk. Small footprint, and quite upgradable. Think I paid about £150 for it and it's been running quite happily for a couple of years. Runs everything I can throw at it.

    I don't know why people buy RPIs anymore, unless the tiny form-factor is a must have.

  • Your RSS feeds
  • Don't forget that TT-RSS can filter articles for you. Say, for example, that your TV feed had a sci-fi category, and you only wanted to see that. TT-RSS can mark everything else as read (or deleted) so you only see that.

    Useful for 'firehose' type feeds where you are only interested in a specific subject.

  • What's your favorite RSS Reader?
  • For self-hosted, TT-RSS. Otherwise Newsblur.

    I only moved to self-hosted because I need to be able to read internal RSS feeds (Huginn etc) otherwise I would have stuck with Newsblur.

  • How come rif still works for me?
  • Libreddit is still working for me too.

  • Is it just me, or has Royal Mail gone downhill badly?
  • Our postman refuses to ring the bell for some reason, but otherwise I find them fairly reliable.

  • Lowest maintenance pihole ever?
  • There is always nextdns.io

    It's set and forget. Works really well. The only reason I stopped using it was because I needed local dns re-writing and it makes sense to use AdGuard.

  • Best way to have file sync on a local network?
  • Do you actually need sync? I just have a bunch of network shares. I can access them externally with WireGuard if need be.

    I know folks like Nextcloud, but I never found it particularly reliable.

  • What are you currently reading and how do you like it?
  • No, it's all from the point of view of one character (so far, anyway).

  • What are you currently reading and how do you like it?
  • I'm reading Fairy Tale by Stephen King. It has been a fun read so far.

  • Mug thread! Post your favourite tea mugs
  • It's between this and my Mr Grumpy mug.

  • Which Lemmy app do you use?
  • Yeah, the new TestFlight version is a big improvement.
