  • Ah yes noted - if one wants to discuss schooting schoolchildren, they should do it on Signal. /s

  • ok... in my experience when shutting down windows it asks to save files and blocks the shutdown until then. Same for kde linux. No idea what mac does.

  • Actually using the OS and not thinking about it instead of tinkering with it constantly and wondering what to change.

  • What I don't get is how simply closing the laptop deletes anything.

    On every laptop and every OS I used closing the lid just makes it go to sleep and everything is the same when you open it back up again. Never was anything deleted.

    If somebody know a scenario where stuff would be deleted, please explain so that I can avoid it.

  • The better options do cost twice as much

    Yeah thwre are a lot of better options for lots more money. But I don't have that kind of money.

    I need lots of RAM for as cheaply as possible while also being low-ish on the power cpnsumption. There is for example old server hardware on ebay that has 64GB or more RAM but draws like 300W idle. And it's not even that much cheaper to buy. Like I said for me, a 40W difference is about 100$ per year, so anything lower power than my current server will eventually pay for itself.

    I would have gone with amd or intel or whatever, but I didn't find anything in that price range.

  • How expensive was your NAS when you bought it and how expensive is it now and how much RAM cause I need a lot.

  • I tried selfhosting a game server and it was laggy as hell on 8GB RAM. Then I ran it on my laptop that has 32GB and it ran fine and all friends were able to play. Was consuming aboyt 25GB (but still may run with less)

    But I'm not gonna run my laptop as a server because it is fully glued and I can't take out the battery without destroying it.

    Another tool I looked into requires at least 16GB RAM.

    So maybe for your usecase it's fine. But for me, I can't do half the stuff I want cause my cluster server has low RAM nodes. Even though it has 32GB in total (4x8)

  • So what would you buy for 600$ that has 64GB RAM?

  • they seem to ship their own kernel, but I'll try when it arrives later today

  • Selfhosted @lemmy.world

    I feel like people are sleeping on the Minisforum MS-R1 as a good value home server PC

  • To me this is what 3D printing is all about.

  • sudo systemctl start NetworkManager

    And then so it starts when you boot in, we finally enable:

    sudo systemctl enable NetworkManager

    also from the top of my head - you can combine the two by adding a flag

    sudo systemctl enable --now NetworkManager

    That will enable and start it.


    Also make sure no conflicting network service is running. Common culprits are dhcpcd, netctl, and systemd-networkd. If they're active, NM might not start and you might stop and disable them before starting NM. Not sure if that would apply to kubuntu or your particular setup, but I wanted to mention it just in case.

  • Just to point out another interesting example that sits on one extreme end of the spectrum.

    https://safing.io/ has a whole open source firewall and traffic monitoring gui app and their VPN (SPN) is a small and optional paid feature of that.

  • for me personally, Firefly III works much better and it works with importing from my bank

  • Welcome to lemmy - where nobody cares about you or your question and just wants to yap their opinion, because they feel so smart and morally superior.

  • safing SPN

  • in kde plasma this is possible by right clicking the start menu and selecting edit applications.

  • At least paint them with your favourite colour. It's free real estate :D
