So not even close to Cheddar? Why don’t they call it Caputo instead.

Bullshit corpospeak tasks is pretty much the only time I use LLMs. You want us to come up with a paragraph long department motto? Could someone ask ChatGPT and put all of our names under it so none of us waste our life on such a retarded task.

2TB? How!

Currently sat on 5GB across 920 files

I like using rygel currently, just run it by command line and media folders are available over the network. Any device with VLC can see it on the network and play.

I want an aerogavin bed.

Age of Empires had AI before it was cool.

Do it, just don’t play the games that don’t work on Linux. I switched 15 years ago and didn’t look back. There are so many games at this point why bother with the ones that only work on Windows?

Mine likes cucumber

I have been using rygel. I don’t need anything fancy, dump a few media folders onto any VLC player on the LAN.

So me on a Wednesday morning after a questionable amount of moonshine the night before?

Magnetic mouse?

I was going to ask if twitch was still relevant but then realised I genuinely don’t give a shit.

People make mods to be played surely, why bother using a platform if no one can play your mod from it.

I would have laughed so fucking much if trumps shitty parade was sponsored by war thunder. It was bad enough with crypto sponsors.

60w is like £120 a year, these costs add up to the point that low spec servers pretty much always cost more in energy than hardware. Of course it also depends on where you live and your energy rates.

You could buy a 20 year old server that is going to use 800w, or you could buy a mini PC that is probably more powerful and uses like 10-20w.

Then again, I used to live somewhere that energy was included in the rent so short of starting a bitcoin farm usage wouldn’t really get noticed too much. In that case it would make sense to just go cheap hardware.

Your energy is clearly a low cheaper than mine then.

Oh I am not saying specifically get a raspberry pi, personally looking at a bee-link N150 mini PC. It isn’t even that much more expensive than the 16GB raspberry pi and as its x86 I can just run normal debian installs in proxmox.

So the ones turning up still are just the ones that don’t have any moral objection to it? How reassuring…

Power consumption is a massive reason to really not do that. Its cheap for a reason, its takes a shitload of power to be shit and you will pay more in energy than you save in hardware unless its only powered on for short periods of time - a server typically isn’t.

This is actually something that applies to cheap products too. Was in Asda a little while ago and saw 2 LED bulbs with the same lumen rating. Cheaper one used 3w more and you only saved £1. Running it for 8 hours a day for a year would cost double that saving in electricity. For a server you are looking at almost £2 per watt each year. Does that ewaste look so good to you now?

Some things are absolutely worth getting second hand, but you really should be careful considering the power cost as well.

Quick edit: If you don’t need it running 24/7, consider something like AWS too. I love selfhosting but if its not running much it might be cheaper to not bother buying hardware.

So steam is set to autorun by default?

By that reasoning my old PC in like 2008 was a console because you boot and it starts up with a list of games to play that are all loaded from Linux DVD, just click to launch any of them immediately.
