Same dude… I fucking hate gtk apps on kde because of the fucked up theming shit piss cunt wankers

This is common in rolling releases

• me who has been using the same heckin arch install without any issues for over 7 years:

w a t ???

Thank you very much for pointing this out.

I completely forgot to mention this, since I’ve been running compute modules with nvme’s for ages.

Just to add a further alternative: The pine64 soquartz baseboards are also compatible with rpi compute modules.

Also for extra saving: by the time you buy all that, there are a lot of second hand office mini PCs that are considerably cheaper on ebay.

If it is for home use, why not go with a raspberry pi (or similar, there are lots of cheaper alternatives like it) which is only accessible from the local network and not from the internet?

If access through the internet is needed, you can use one of many free dyndns services. (e.g duckdns.org)

You could also look into existing projects and maybe contribute instead of building from scratch, but thats up to you. Through a quick search I found https://github.com/FSchiltz/Helse

Yes I have and it’s good, but I don’t think anecdotal evidence matters. I may have been lucky or you might be unlucky.

Personally I always buy multiple refurbished drives and put them in a raid in such a way that they can fail without fucking me over. For a minimal setup, mirror and throw big fat errors with sound when one is down or has smart errors or bad blocks.

You can get 4 cores, 6gb ram, 200gb ssd for 6$ per month from contabo.

Lets normalize the price for comparison.

6/3 = 2

So for the same normalized price you get:

• 4/3 = 1.333 cores
• 6/3 = 2GB RAM
• 200/3 = 66GB SSD storage

Thats a bit more CPU, four times the RAM and six times the storage!!!

I highly doubt that the “near bare metal” performance of that one core is better than just having 30% more virtualized cores.

And the math gets even worse if you compare the other tiers.

The only good tradeoff for this offer is the unlimited traffic IF and only if you actually would hit the comtabo limits (32TB outbound + unlimited incoming) and there is probably some math where you can calculate when it starts to be worth the money vs. getting a second contabo vps.

Thats expensive

With a very nieche benefit. I doubt that one core can chug enough to make any significant bandwith

This is exactly what happened. I swear.

borgmatic is way too easy and hetzner storage box is way too cheap to have any excuses

My 8GB soquartz CM4 has a broken memory chip and I can’t return it, so I am contemplating whether I should throw it in the oven and hope for the best or whether somebody wants to buy a half broken one unbaked …
