Switched awhile back, no issues.

Got it. Never even thought about looking into books when I was getting into the hobby. It was all just searching and following online guides. I am curious if there’s anything out there other than the typical linux/networking stuff.

Guys, OP is asking for recommendations for books about self-hosting, not recommendations on how to self-host books.

I’ve been on purelymail.com for a couple of years. Receive about 1000 emails a month and send out about 50. Averaging around $0.40/month. They also have a flat rate option of $10/year as long as you don’t abuse the system.

I took a quick look and was shocked to see prices are at least double for used thinkcentres compared to what I usually see here in Canada. Why are they so expensive in Germany?

One person asked for this. It has been an obsession of Adams’ (PCWorld) since he started sniffing the exhaust of steam decks. There was one vendor at CES selling scented thermal paste. I find the whole thing hilarious.

How much of all this tariff stuff is performative? With all the exclusions, that top line number will apply to very few actual goods. I don’t think anyone is naive enough to believe Trump has anything against Russian interests.

You would use your home directory in place of %h

That’s the guide I followed to automate my backups.

For anyone that needs a guide. Should work for most providers with some configuration changes.

I read the article but I’m still confused as to why anyone would want to smuggle ants.

“Mindfactory’s sales information in repeated articles over several years, and its Ryzen 7 5800X, 5600X, and 5900X RMA rates are 0.58 percent, 0.52 percent, and 0.33 percent, respectively.”

Based on some very rough estimates using mindfactory and amazon sales data, the 9800x3d is in line with or below 5000 series RMA rates.

If there was real cause for concern, the RMA rate should be much higher.

None of your listed use cases will even come close to taxing the 6600k. It’s going to probably sit happily in idle states most of the time.

Proxmox also has great snapshotting and backup features. Makes it easier to mess around with your containers/VMs without worrying too much.

Most people go with either FreshRSS or Miniflux but there’s lots of options to choose from.

Any low power device is going to struggle with video playback unless you’re doing direct streaming. The exception being the new Intel N line of processors that have capable enough GPUs to do the transcoding. If all you’re after is decent transcoding performance for H264/H265 video, anything newer than Intel’s 7-8th gen CPUs will do the job. $100-$200 used optiplexes and thinkcentres can easily handle this type of workload.

Can you be more specific about your performance objectives? The Pi5 can handle jellyfin and nextcloud relatively well, so if you’re having issues with them, identifying the bottlenecks can help narrow down the hardware recommendations.
