Just about anything is OK for a server, I use whatever hardware I get from work thats being decommissioned.

The biggest limit I see is the ram. Depending on what you spin up and how, it’ll be the tightest budget per service.

Then tag with [CBH] as required.

Start small

This is my strategy whenever I learn a new language. Start easy, escalate in complexity.

• print to the command line
• take input from the command line
• dumb blackjack game
• dumb blackjack game and store session results
• Make a fugly UI but keep the operations text
• Make a fugly UI and add basic graphics

Etc.

The basic game itself doesnt matter - make it hangman if you want. The idea is to get used to a language.

Keep doing that sort of thing, experimenting and learning, find ways to break things, find weird ways to solve problems, figure out ways to write even less lines of code. Find elements that you can make a function instead. Sanitize inputs excessively. Whatever.

Play around, and keep playing around. You’ll learn in no time.

For the record, this is how I learn, by doing. I have a really hard time sticking to tutorials, and I find examples far more helpful than a manual entry explanation of what something does. YMMV.

Oh its definitely the bed they made.

I’ll take whatever positives I can get though

Considering the sweeping loss of maga in Texas, I’m thinking some Texans are starting to care, which is good to see.

Its the only way I roll when it comes to ebooks

Actually its the only thing I’d like to find in an open comic reader for iOS (iPad, my only iOS device, work bought it for me). Panels supports it (paid version), but I have yet to find an open source solution for iOS that does (for comics specifically).

For android quite a few do out of the box. Definitely recommended.

I’d also recommend checking out a server that uses it to try it out. Calibre-server supports it if you want to check it out.

OPDS is the only real hard requirement for me in an eBook reader app.

I’m fine with keeping equipment in the rack if its secured, but I always remove the cabling. I personally don’t think people pay much attention to that part.

I’d also put packing between devices. Since its all going in the uhaul, I wouldn’t personally feel the need to separate anything out of the rack, I’d probably leave it in and just check all my mounts are secure. I’d also make sure the rack is secured well in the uhaul, strapped in with a blanket between it and the wall.

I’d consider Jellyfin if the end user access was more plug and play.

Honestly if it could support multi-server login cleanly, that would be the trick right there.

That said, haven’t had any issues, but I did have to help family set it up the first time.

@Tinnitus@lemmy.world, this is the answer.

The important part is that its giving clean power to your hardware, and it only needs to last long enough to shut down nicely. Batteries in these units are usually just car or wheelchair batteries, so you can get them cheaper just as a regular battery too.

You can also grab an older UPS with a crapped out battery for cheap and swap the battery. Last time I did that I got the UPS for $10 (local pickup) and put a new battery in for $20 from Lowes. Battery is still solid, its been about 5 years for that one.

Worth taking a look at the battery - especially an old one on a repurposed device - before considering it safe. Spicy pillows happen.

US power sucks plenty!

Texas is an extreme example, but outages happen everywhere. It was only a bit over 10 years ago when Sandy basically hit half the US and took power out in the tristate area for weeks. With climate change making things worse…

But even when things are running well, not including the random downed line or busted transformers, its still better to give your hardware clean power and avoid the small spikes.

If I can, I buy direct downloads.

If I can’t do that, I’ll buy the CD (as long as its direct or a small label).

If I can’t, or its one of the big labels, I’ll find it elsewhere. I’d rather buy merch to support the artist directly than buy anything that goes through the big labels.

Ah, admittedly I avoid that problem entirely, I have an MTR, a ZR, etc running on devices here (hardware/software testing stuff), so I don’t need to run meetings on my desktop often.

Edit: Just to note, I’ve done USB passthrough with VMs that were ZR builds and such, so that can be done. But I think if your sharing from there it can get messy (USB video capture and such as your sharing method, so on).

I have several for work that will likely never work in Linux.

So those have a nice little VM they sit on, which has been stripped bare of the nonsense. Remote desktop access enabled, and I can do what I need whenever.

Maybe it’s just to me, but liberal/national coalition and labor seem like the two major parties, green is barely at the table still.

If you exclude the coalition, national has 4 times the representation of green, and liberal 3 times that.

Just my opinion here, but it’s still two major parties, with the thirds coming up in ranks and getting some momentum going. It’ll be a good day imo when the greens overtake the nationals (and maybe one day the liberals), but I personally don’t see it as representative of the people yet. Improving, but still functionally two parties.

It’s still not that old (~10 years or so iirc), it takes time for a third party to be major contentender. Earlier on you’re more likely to see third party wins in more local than national level elections.

It’s not an insta-win for third parties. But that’s ok, because local elections matter, and that’s where you’d typically see results first.

It’s on reddit going back quite a few years, with a recent tracker update:

https://www.reddit.com/r/smyths/comments/8gix4w/streamlined_mythbusters_complete_may_2018_update/

Mythbusters streamlined is like that. A bit rough on some cuts imo, but overall just cuts the fluff.

I firmly disagree, your brothers taught you the correct greeting.
