  • how to start with self-hosting?

    Jump

  • and even when you do know what you're doing, you're probably choosing not to host your own. at least not one that faces the public. a private mail 'server' that consolidates mail for you from multiple providers (and sends mail back out the same way) is different.

  • i have an old wood desk at the office. it just resonates and amplifies noise when i set a desktop form factor external hdd (with its attached rubber feet) on it. it now sits on a couple old-school foam rubber mouse mats.

  • don't expect a 19 year old laptop to perform all the tricks something more 'modern' can do, such as transcoding video for a streaming media server. also note that a t5600 is not a ulv chip (draws as much as 34w under load, on its own)--so probably not a candidate to run 'lid down' without some outside help for cooling.

    it's not fast, it's not power efficient, it has slow networking (10/100 and 22-year old 'g' wifi), and lacks usb3 for 'tolerable' speed on extra external storage space---but it will be 'ok enough' for learning on.

    if you go with something like yunohost or even dietpi, you will pretty much restrict yourself to what it can run and do and how it does it. if you want more 'control' or to install things they don't offer themselves, you'll need to 'roll your own'. a base (console only) debian would be a great place to start. popular, stable, and tons of online resources and tutorials.

  • i think the only things these days for 'unactivated windows' (home, pro editions) is inability to 'customize the desktop' (change wallpaper, theme...) and occasional activation nags.

    it doesn't quit working or shutdown (iirc enterprise or server trials do that after they expire, though) or quit getting updates or anything like that.

  • i've read more than one book where the elections were like that. the incumbent essentially just faces a vote of confidence before each term. if they lose (no majority support) or are term limited (or otherwise lose their place in office), they get replaced by a random draw from the constituency.

  • Trump tampering with Fed independence is risky for the economy, experts say

  • if FHFA had anything 'criminal' on her--that wasn't made-up bullshit, they'd have already filed criminal charges or presented that 'evidence' to a grand jury for indictment.

  • afaik the major pc laptop vendors, dell, lenovo, hp, ms surface.. all have at least some models now with glass or haptic trackpad.

  • i remember some stores were open at midnight, and people waiting in line, even camping overnight, to buy it.

    win7 had a similar launch hysteria, but no windows since can even come close to matching either of these.
