On the open meadows of the freeinternet,
where the gentle breeze touches all equally,
where the people are friends,
and the money is spent on FOSS devs & smol gaming studios.

Its amazing how fast it’s developing, hard to believe it’s only two years old, yet it seems like yesterday at the same time.

Fantastic devs!

I love Buster, make sure to tell him, such a distinguished and professional supervisor.

Yes, Proxmox, on basically any device, expand as heart desires from there (assuming some areas/services are more within your interest or liking - an ez way to speed up the knowledge assimilation).

As long as Hanna Montana Linux is installed directly on bare metal, all is good!

Ok, but surely one would put all that in a virtual Windows instance running Hannah Montana distro running Proxmox, right?

This is a fair description.

My parents like it, once every so often I update their docker and apps (on the same day). Its not always straight forward (I just mean you have to visit their github), but ez enough.

Unfortunately my next choice (afaik) would be NextCloud … aaaand let’s leave it at that.

I still use it daily. Sure there are some issues, but I just can’t move on, nothing feels the same.

Tumble me weed (laptop, not a server)

Moxy does some Proxy

Cluster of the fuck

Boxxy

F8U12

Oh, I had one ‘Shittle’ or something.

This is very nice.

I should really install a wall panel, this is art.

Yeah, over the decades that was the golden era is convenience and quality.

Fairly pay og creators … But how do I pay RARGB if they don’t exist anymore? :(

Is always on not an option?

I too proxy my moxies, but run various OSes within them (via VMs or containers).

Macabre.

Yet also (bitter-)sweet, those drives gave everything they had for you, it’s only right to honor their memory & remember them.

I just open the drives & put them on shelves.

My RPi v1.0 (doesn’t even have the mounting holes) is piholing/sinkholing for my parents for about 10 years now.

It’s getting replaced by two servers soon-ish (main and backup - also as a second location for my servers), but I might just keep it running as a secondary device. Bcs by now it’s tradition.

Also I never got around to getting it a case so it’s just dangling by the ethernet cable all this time.

That suxs … but I was thinking 500~700 moneys. And spending some time to look/wait for a good deal. Still I think a Ryzen 3 or 5 (from 22xx onward) is a better investment especially at the beginning when you are perhaps still figuring out what to do with your home lab (and even basic things like not having your HDDs over USB lane). But you have the right idea - opportunities like those 10$ PCs is what I was talking about.

If I assume RPi 4 or 5 are at about 100 moneys (+ a decent case + maybe with an m.2 hat) - I was just trying to say that a used PC at that price offers much more. RPis are great tho, I’m glad they exist.
