    Its my experience with server software for beginners in general, which gets my enshittification senses tingling. I just dont trust in a company providing a hell of a service (like, getting tens if not hundreds of docker images to work with the click of a button) for free.

    With Truenas I know that their community branch is an ad for their enterprise service because no single person will key thousands for the caliber of support their enterprise has, so they make their money by offering cloud services. So that explains how it is still feasable for them to give me their dataset and UI and everything frontend for free.

    But with Casa, I just dont know where the money comes from. I dont see how they can keep up their operations and make a profit with this kind of effort. So I can only assume that many non essential services will be put behind a paywall.

    And if they do it, I still know that they use docker and ZFS, and I can spend a day or 2 learning how to set up a software raid and an ssd as a ZFS buffer for it, and everything else i‘ve set up with their OS.

    But thats the problem: Beginners dont know. Its like with the Iphone: If the user dosent learn how to deploy a docker instance from a compose file themselves, they will be bound to that frontend and all the enshittification that happens to it.

    Therefore I would like it way more if Selfhosting was more like the AUR. First learn how the Process of pulling an image and makepkg‘ing works firsthand, then you can use the frontend like yay. Not the other way around.

    But if no one learns how to do something the old fashioned way and relies on a frontend for everything, at some point the company behind the frontend will vendor lock everyone into their system, since there is no competition anyway



  • But if you need to pay for a „Media Flatrate“ anyway, and you have those 5€ a month, why not spend it for a good cause?

    (Also PIA and nord cost 12€ a month unless you sign their predatory 2 year contracts [which are even then just like 1€ per month cheaper], so mullvad is just way better in that regard too)

    Also features like UDPoTCP let you bypass local network restrictions, and the ability to pay with cash and Crypto is great if you dont want want to/ cant use paypal or a bank account for any reason








  • how to fully dump Windows and install LineageOS.

    Are you fucking Moses? Then how the fuck did you manage to turn your Windows Machine into an android phone?

    is the level of acrimony toward LLMs.

    Good, since you apparantly arent able to use your brain, I’m gonna speed run it real quick:

    • Its frying the planet
    • its generating way to much slop, making anyone unable to find true non hallucinated information
    • its a literal PsyOP
    • it’s rotting peoples critical thinking
    • its being shoved down everyone’s throat, tho it can’t even generate simple things.
    • people are using it to slood FOSS projects.

    such an emotional response with this crowd.

    Its not emotional, its just having the same negative experience over and over and over again

    It’s a tool that has gone from interesting (GPT3) to terrifying

    The only thing that’s terrifying about it us peoples brain rotting away their critical thinking


  • mainly for the integrated graphics to use jellyfin’s hardware transcoding. Is the UHD 730 enough for that?)

    My 4th gen Intel i5 can do that

    No idea what to get for MB

    You get the cheapest thing available with your socket that has at least 4 sata slots for migration

    Server quality storage is extremely expensive, not sure if its worth buying.

    Just get 2 WD blues

    For case I saw some suggestion for cases with a ton of hotswappable drive bays

    Or, you know, if you are making a whole post crying about your financial situation, maybe you can just move your ass and manually swap the HDDs.

    PSU I want to get any gold PSU with low wattage from a reputable brand

    If you want something energy efficient, why in gods name do you want to buy a desktop CPU?

    16gb of any decent ram I suppose?

    If you want to be fancy I guess, but my 25€ half dead optiplex that dosent even pass its own self test is currently running on 8 gigs of DDR 3 storage from different brands I got out of dumpsterdiving in a junkyard right before they threataned to call the police on me, and I live in goddamn Germany, so maybe make up your mind if you want to be crying about being poor or actively going out of your way to buy fancy Server Equipment I can only dream about in my setup.






  • Ne, eben nicht

    Es ist ok wenn man einfach mal schreibt: „Schaut mal Libreoffice an“, aber solche Artikel wie die von Giga und die ganze scheiße von Chip und co. bezüglich zb Linux verspricht den Laien zu viel und stellt es so dar, als würde alles genauso funktionieren wie bei Windows und Office

    Der Nutzer sollte eben selber recherchieren können, was Libreoffice kann und wie man es installiert, statt von einem Slop Artikel alles vorgekaut zu bekommen und dann die viel zu hohen erwartungen an der FOSS community auszulassen und dabei auch andere Menschen die tatsächlich ein Hirn haben abzuschrecken


  • Nicht alle nutzer dumm, sondern Die nutzer die nicht dumm, schon alle nach Alternativen gesucht, und Artikel der Alles vorkaut wie billige Linux Guides statt zu Installationsguide zu verlinken, alle dumme Nutzer anziehen. Einfach sagen „Schau mal Libreoffice an“ ok, aber „Hier installieren Libreoffice, genau wie Office nur besser“ nicht ok, weil erwartungen zu hoch und Nutzer nicht weiß was er macht, sondern nur veralteter Anleitung folgt.

    Wenn nutzer selber können Recherchieren was Libreoffice und wie installieren, ok, aber wenn nutzer alles vorkauen muss, nur probleme weil nutzer dumm.
