I played games on channel 3.

I installed dos on an IBM model 30 286 with a stack of 3.5" floppies.

The apple 2e’s in school were great for playing games.

The Mets had a good years playing baseball when I was little.

OK, so what you probably won’t get much out of would be load balancing knowledge, from your description the CPU far outpaces everything else you have running services today. To get a good handle on that sort of thing, its handy to have comparable hardware for each node.

But the CPU is more than enough for most general task services, so yeah that will do fine. In terms of the GPU, yes, that will work for AI tasks as far as I know, most of the hardware I’m using for that is work stuff I get my hands on, so I couldn’t tell you much about the performance of the 3070 specifically, and I doubt a 6000 Ada as a reference w9uld be helpful, so maybe others can chime in on that aspect.

Since its mostly for learning, yeah, go for it. If you want to run i5 24x7, I’d probably want to separate out some of that CPU from that PSU purely for power management/cost to run, but yes its more than adequate for most services you’d throw on there.

Most of the servers I’m running are using a CPU that came out about 5 years before that Ryzen, but they are also lower wattage systems. Since they dont need a ton of CPU at all times, this is more the ideal for continually running home services, but not the only way to do it.

So build away and enjoy

Work for… What exactly?

Server requirements vary, depending on what they are doing.

ETA: I run about a dozen servers at home. Of them, none are more than what you have there. And I run a lot of services on each. Its what they are doing that matters.

It could also be a bunch of people like me who just dont care, and would totally sell their future empty skull for cash for the family.

I actually want to be cremated and have my remains made into some gems, and I wanted my skull to be kept and the gems mounted into the eyes. My wife vetoed that idea, I thought it would be hilarious. She didn’t like the “fine, I’ll just get a generic crystal skull or something then” response.

Anyway, once the brain bucket has no more brain to be a bucket for, I personally would be fine with it getting sold off. Couldn’t tell you if its what it is or not, but I can definitely see there being plenty of people willing to sell it, without it being some sort of victim of something. I also think its much more likely to not be a victim of something.

So… Just Robert Picardo then?

#3 is the route I’m going.

Bigscreen is still pretty rough though, I’m trying to see if I can resolve some open issues to submit back to resolve, but in the meantime I’m going to start playing with flex launcher - https://complexlogic.github.io/flex-launcher/

Its likely to be the way I go as of now.

Lutris to be a gaming interface (retro games and Roms), jellyfin for movies/shows/music, gcompris for some kids educational stuff, etc.

I want to figure out a remote that I like and get some CEC testing done, may look towards using my homeassistant to act as a control system if its a pain (and most CEC is implemented poorly IMO).

But I’m done with stuff like Chromecast, rokus, etc.

I have a family member who got one in his 30s.

Erections began to hurt so much due to phimosis, he and his wife weren’t having sex.

Circumcision is not exclusively for the religious, there are medical reasons it may be chosen.

If its the only bit its doing or its critical for other services, yes, nofail is a good choice.

If you can map a network drive (very east fstab edit BTW), then yes, its a great way to go.

That’s what I do, I have two 5-bay NASs, both use all 4 uplinks (LAG) to my switch, and my media server is an LXC on an 8th gen intel, with GPU passthrough.

If you reboot your nas, you may need to reconnect from the server. If you reboot your server, you dont have to do anything since its connecting when it starts up. If you end up needing more space, you just mount that new NAS alongside it.

To me its the better approach.

Yup, all visible. The only exceptions are fully private instances (or mostly private, with limited federation) and local only communities.

kbin/mbin also make all these votes public, so you could even just be on an mbin server and see all the votes. So right now its like… jumping over an 8" high hurdle. Or doing the limbo under a pole at 5’. You have to do something, just not much. I wouldn’t call it completely non-trivial to do, but it isn’t rocket surgery either.

As far as I know right now, IP and such details are your instance only.

Votes, however, are visible across any instance. I agree its a transparency issue. Right now I think a of of folks believe their votes to be anonymous (or only visible to their instance admins at most), but that’s not true at all.

Anyone can stand up an instance though. So its available for anyone to look at right now.

I don’t think it should be made easier, but I don’t think its fair to suggest its currently private in any way, shape, or form today.

Because it is decidedly not.

I absolutely agree that its a problem. The problem is there is nothing stopping companies/governments from doing that now, and I don’t know if its feasible to make them actually private on Lemmy.

Right now, they aren’t private, you just need a few extra steps to see it all.

The problem is its already pretty public, just for mods and admins, and non-lemmy instances.

While I agree its not ideal to have everything be public, given it functionally already is, this just makes it easier for users to see. Right now its a minor hurdle, but still a hurdle - but your votes are not really private/anonymous to start with.

And yet, satisfying.

For office attire or going out, sure.

If you’re doing repair work, running lines, etc, a watch is the choice. Your hands are busy, so a watch is what you need (Except for specific trades where you don’t want to risk it getting caught in machinery).

I can say with 100% certainty that I know large swaths of folks in their 20’s and 30’s who regularly wear watches. Some smart, some digital, some analog.

Different profiles on Firefox are nowhere near Chrome.

I’m still going to use FF, but there are areas it lags behind Chrome. That’s the only big one for me.

I’d lean towards the pi being the problem, but you can test the network throughput with iperf, and would want to test the videos outside of Kodi on the pi, so you could also check top and see what the processing looks like.

If I remember my pi 4 hardware decoding specs correctly, I believe h.264, MPEG 2, and VC1, and some support for HEVC. If I had to guess, you may have some codecs that aren’t handled by hardware acceleration, and instead just CPU.

My best rec would be to use either a dedicated stream box (like a fire stick, Nvidia shield, etc) which has better codec support, or pick up like a little Intel n100 based system, which will handle a drastically wider set of codecs with full acceleration support.

Right now I’ve got a Roku and a Google TV Chromecast, and I’ve been trying with various environments on an old Lenovo m910q so I can find my favorite fit of UI/distro. The Roku and Chromecast never stutter, and I don’t do transcoding for inside the home. Works with 4K HDR HEVC no problem.

Edit: Autocorrect annoyances.

Tiny/mini/micro makes up my server environment (and two customs using old cases and replaced parts).

Storage is a 1520+ and the two customs, with the 1515+ for backups I don’t want to lose (syncs to two other locations).

Tiny/mini/micro is the majority of compute tasks, mostly proxmox, LXC’s, and a few VMs.

The little machines have plenty of processing power, usually nvme but I can add it on if needed. Combine it with network storage, and you don’t need anything else imo.

Bonus is they are small and cheap as off lease machines being auctioned off.
