Dwayne?

Totally agree with you

The Hamburger they’re referring to is a Hamburg steak, which is a grilled and gravy-topped plate version of Steak Tartar, a rare beef dish that’s a French version of … a Tartar chopped beef dish. It’s all versions of something else and they change each time. The American change to grilling, buns, and a handheld version isn’t any less than the German or French, IMHO

Same for “Frankfurters”, they’re pork, lamb intestine, boiled, and only served on a plate. But American hot dogs historically are kosher beef, spiced more heavily, are typically grilled, and absolutely are served on specialized buns developed for them.

This is typical for American food inventions, a rejection of any updates or improvements.

Neurospicy, love it (somehow this is the first time I’ve heard this, but it’s all over the thread, lol)

So idk if this is the same thing as what you’re looking for, but I’ve been planning something similar but with a lower budget, lol

Eventually I’m going to run something like OwnTone on a local server to play my personal collection. I have Google Nest Audio around (mic off) to have large sound but small footprint. And for other speakers or systems that don’t automatically connect to OwnTone, something like a WiiM Mini could work well as a bridge streaming device.

Don’t do Waydroid, its way too slow and buggy for what you’re wanting. I’d highly suggest Genymotion and have been using it on touchscreen 2in1s for a few months without issue, even with Play Store

Paid Bitwarden or self-hosted 2FAuth. Its very lean so you could probably do it on a free Oracle cloud VPS and never pay. Or put Vaultwarden on a PikaPod for very little money per month.

Checks out: while they CAN move forward, they highly prefer to move side to side

If you’re wanting to do something like that, you’re probably best running Proxmox as a bit of a hypervisor, then Yunohost in a Debian VM on top, and assign something like “home.domain.tld” to Yunohost and get your “stable” family services running.

Then you can try out other stuff like Coop, Cosmos, OMV, Caprover, Tipi, etc as other VMs if you wanna try adding something Yunohost can’t or doesn’t do well. Or if you wanna extend your DevOps skills without messing up family-prod. I mean, you could even have another Yunohost as a “sandbox.domain.tld” before new service deploy.

I’ve had Yunohost running in some way for probably 4+ years? It’s relatively solid, I can mostly depend on it without any issues. I like the SSO/LDAP user auth and perms, and the default fail2ban and ability to change ssh port from the UI. The update and system services pages are nice.

What I don’t like is how apps are all installed locally instead of using containers or VMs. And resources are shared, so if one app uses, for instance, MongoDB, and another app needs it as well, they have to share the same one. It makes things run a bit leaner, but I do worry a bit about data bleed if there’s some vulnerability. And the apps are really hit and miss, since they have to be packaged, managed, and issue-tracked independently for this platform instead of the main app/project. So you find lots of orphaned or half-maintained apps that should be great otherwise.

So you either suck it up and deal, or become a bit of a hacker/maintainer yourself on apps you care the most about. But if I wanted to get that involved I’d just roll a manual build myself. I submit issues and try to help where I can, but that’s not where I want to be.

You could probably install something like Portainer and manually edit the NGINX config/homepage to hack some docker in there, but idk if I care enough to do that.

Eh, it is what it is. I have a full family life and a job screwing with computers all week. I don’t want to deal with spinning up, troubleshooting, and maintaining a mini devops stack.

I don’t want to spend so much personal time to keep up with all the management and config, but I don’t think that means someone like me should have to live in a big tech world. If there’s a good framework that helps keep things easy to manage and secure for a minimal amount of input and time, even if I could run most of it myself manually with a lot more time investment, there’s no reason not to, IMHO.

Yeah, I know they’re different. I was just giving some background about what was going on, sorry if I confused.

Just wondering if anyone has used what seems to be their compose/swarm config tool “abra”, especially multiserver, and have any feedback about it. I like that it seems to be pretty agnostic after doing its work, they say you can backup and export the config and use it elsewhere mostly as-is. Just can’t see much anywhere else about it.

Dodge City, maybe

There’s magic in those old 90s Hondas, I’ve seen it. I had a stripped valve cover bolt and couldn’t figure out how I could fix it short of a head replacement. The answer? Plug it with a rubber and metal washer sandwich and a bolt, and tighten the ones next to it a lil more. Never leaked. Thing was a champ

I think you have to deflate to the year to make it equal to $5k today. For instance, if we go back to 1635, we’re looking at $131.62/day

Absolutely, oil and car companies. And they were behind the push for highway bypasses (conveniently running through immigrant and PoC neighborhoods) and suburbs (many of them redlined and outright racial exclusionary.

Dude, thank you for saying that about the Mexican food. I’ve been saying this online for a while and it’s not well understood how good it is all the way across the US, even in small towns. Now, there are regional differences, as you would expect, but it’s only a bit worse than Mexico and way better than just about anywhere else in the world

Americans don’t play about Mexican food. We want it high quality, high quantity, and we’ll support it

I’ve gone out of my way multiple times to put up multiple cats

Did they scratch you?

I love the idea, I much prefer it to the mainstream. The problem is, the typical process of documenting FOSS and self-host projects (websites, wiki, mailing lists, etc) move too slow and are too cumbersome for how quick things are developing right now. So people are kind of having to invent the new tech a d new ways to communicate about it, and they’re not always making choices that either scale or are easy to find and reference.

Okay, since you seem to be so helpful here, I’ll lay out where I’m at. I’ve been using LLMs like ChatGPT, Copilot, and Bard more professionally. I find them equal parts useful, confusing, annoying, and skeevey. I’ve got a lil VPS I run for services, I could put a front end on there easy. I’ve also got an old 8core Xeon machine with like 48GB ram and a leftover AMD R9 270 sitting there with Unraid barely installed. I can chamge the OS of course, but what am I realistically looking at being able to run locally that won’t go above like 60-75% usage so I can still eventually get a couple game servers, network storage, and Jellyfin working? I’ll be honest I don’t care about image generation much, but if I do I can always look into upgrading
