I use phones without Sims, but it’s because I’m cheap and I have a collection of weird phones.

I already have an e-ink second screen that sits on the back of an iPhone… 4? 5? It’s collecting dust in a drawer, but I swear this is a recycle of an old project. It’s already been done!

Also, I have an old Yotaphone.

I run substreamer and tailscale to access my home navidrome. Works like a charm.

I have a docker compose immich that I somehow managed to kill fourteen minutes after convincing my wife to switch to it.

I’m a bit farther along, but it’s all been trial and error (and error, and error…) So, commenting because I would also like some of this info. My DNS is a disaster! Still using IPs to access my VMs, mostly.

Oh, I’ve done messes like this… I had a machine whose UEFI had like five things on it. This doesn’t solve it all, but I really like refind for taking care of whacky multi boot scenarios. Just install it and it scans all the drives in a system for OSes and gives you a menu on startup.
There are various VM solutions out there to handle running one-off windows programs, by the way. I have a copy of Win11 inside a Proxmox VM that runs those few times I need desktop Office for something specific. I’m sure others will come in with better solutions, but those are the ones I’ve used.

Get one of those kid’s seats for the bike, get a large stuffed… Tiger? Yeah, Tiger. Put the hat on the Tiger, strap the Tiger into the kid’s seat. Nobody will mock the Tiger for not wearing a helmet.

My loops are in my pocket all the time and my tinnitus has gone away since I started wearing them.

I have an original framework. I swapped the RAM and SSD in seconds. The add-on ports make changing functions trivial. I swap my HDMI to a wired Ethernet port on the regular, and the expansion cards actually work through a dock, too. I really like it. It does throw the odd “USB port has malfunctioned” error from time to time, but it’s quite rare.

Damn autocorrect!

Run a PiCam and a web client, so you have a love stream. Then, place it in front of a mirror so the Pi Cam can live stream itself.

Back when I first started with NextCloud, it was pretty unresponsive on the web front end for my ebook collection, which was a ton of small files. It’s gotten a whole lot better in the last year or so. Now, I don’t worry about it. This is also with a very badly set up copy. I’m sure that a proper install would work much better, too.

Yay! I’ll tell my wife that I’ve still got almost 300 more old computers to go!

I have a couple of friends with nextcloud, and I have nextcloud too. Low tech ish? But we just host our files on Nextcloud and then copy backups to the other machines every now and then.

My NC uses about 6gb of RAM, and it is really badly optimized, since it’s been running forever and isn’t a container, or even a server deploy. (It’s a snap running in desktop Ubuntu since 2016.)

Anyone could do better, I just can’t be bothered.

My buddy has his running on 1.5GB of RAM in a container.

I also host a bunch of other stuff. Navidrome and freshrss get the most use, other than Nextcloud. Immich, searx-ng, jellyfin, guacamole.

No Sudo apt update. sudo dnf upgrade -y && sudo flatpak upgrade -y

The most powerful proxmox cluster… Ever!

…but don’t stop!

And… Comedy!

Please stop smoking. I have lost three close people to lung cancer, and my brother in law smokes and I literally can’t watch it again. You will save a bunch of money. Like, used car money. You’re on Lemmy, right? We do watch parties sometimes. I volunteer at a library. It was something to do during COVID, and it has 100% turned everything around for me. I used the boost to my ego to get off my ass and go back to school, got my diploma, and found my dream job. I don’t have things together yet, but I’m moving in the right direction. You can too! Please quit smoking.

I’m interpreting this as trolling. No way is someone who isn’t trying to start shit going to put something like this out in the world, unless there is something seriously skewed in their worldview. Dude, if this is how you have fun, get bent. If you mean this, get help.
