Power, Domain Name (if using a standard paid one instead of the cheaper route), VPN are the 3 that I pay for that I feel are the bare minimum.

I pay for a domain that’s $12, but you could easily get the $1 ones for the same purposes. I pay for a static and service VPN with Windscribe, which comes out to be like $35+$89 respectively. So that’s already $136 a year excluding the cost of power. I could cut that cost easily, but I use them for more than just my selfhosting so I feel like it’s a fair price for what I get out of it.

I can’t speak to what you’re looking for specifically, however I can give you an idea of the level and type of noise you could expect.

With a local server I built with 3 standard 8TB HDDs, the “noisiest” part of the whole computer is the fans itself - it’s very quiet compared to say, a fanned air purifier on full or maybe even half power. I’ve never actually heard my hard drives from any of the computers I’ve built in the last 6-8 years, and I’m usually right by them. If I listen very closely I may hear some ticking/spinning if they happen to be ramped up.

So under load, there may be a chance of hearing some of the spinning disks in a quiet room, however I haven’t actively heard an HDD since 2012 - though the size you’re going for could be different as you mentioned. I can’t speak for the 18tb sizes. As for the smaller external HDD’s, I have 3 6TB ones running in tandem and it’s pretty much the same, I’ve heard them ramp up slightly but it’s nearly silent even under load it’s more of a gentle hum. If there were any noise sources like music it would be unnoticeable. But again, the size may play a factor.

You mentioned it’s right by your bed but would your active hours align with the backups? I.e. if you run them overnight from 2a to 8a, you’d already be asleep for the backup. If it’s noise that prevents you from sleeping that may help.

In browser audio sampler with fairly decent tools

The one I haven’t been able to find a good replacement for is Sampler.

Just some other suggestions, there’s also Syncthing (for backups and syncing devices) and PhotoPrism (like the user who suggested Immich, for gallery view.)

Good find on the solution, there’s some good alternatives from the github Monolith as well. However, MoW looks great, too bad it’s Chrome only from what I can see :(

I did attempt it a bit but I was having issues. Definitely the way I’m trying to go though!

I’m wondering how it goes with online game for instance (wouldn’t it be a no-go for many casual users?

I’ve wondered the same honestly. I’m able to connect to servers, never been an issue, but if I want to host my own game server it’s only available locally and no ports are ever exposed (understandably, since they don’t exist lol). Been a real hassle that’s for sure!

I’d be interested in a networking section. My biggest hurdle in self-hosting is that my ISP uses CG/NAT, so no port forwarding. This has made even simple applications difficult to set up. It seems the easiest workaround is to set them up through a domain, which I’ve tried and had no luck with. A mix of not my forte and there being few straightforward guides.

You can buy Gwenyth Paltrow’s goop jade egg and you’ll receive it, that doesn’t mean it’s not a scam.

What’s promising about it? I looked through the website but didn’t see much other than that I could install it or buy a computer from them.

I’d be interested solely if I meant I had to do less networking lol

It was honestly hilarious how bad it was and how much it could slow the system down in some situations. I’d be curious to see just how much of it was a byproduct of HDD’s - that is to say, just how slow is it even in solid state drives!

But after the 2.5 years it takes to build the Windows index wouldn’t it be the same - just searching through a built index?

Somewhat surprisingly the fediverse has been much kinder for Linux learners than my experience everywhere else online the last decade :)

Previously by color/occupation.

Red Desktop, Music Workstation.

Been thinking themes more recently though. WolvesDen for my server, thinking of expanding on that some.

Oh definitely, no implication that’s it’s poor or bad from me. Like I said, mostly just curious.

Out of sheer curiosity I wonder how much energy consumption is used for standard currencies. I’m sure it’s less than 0.5% but I wonder

Ah good, I’ve been looking for something better than Waifu2x. Thanks!

Your body feels hungover because you were taking something that your body was using and then you stopped providing it. That’s not really a hangover so much as a previous source of nutrition that’s no longer being had!

Taking CBD compounds helps start and regulate our endocannabinoid system which helps with chronic nerve pain, gastrointestinal issues, issues with insomnia, mood, and anxiety.

Basically, it’s not like you were taking some acetaminophen for a headache to literally stop you from feeling its presence. It’s still there, regardless of the medication or not. It’s more like you were taking something that acted as a muscle relaxant, which removed the pressure from the thing preventing the headache from happening in the first place.

I think the important distinction here is the percentages of THC present with whatever you’re taking.

If you and @danielton are just talking about getting stoned with cannabis, well yeah it’s going to get you high.

If you guys are talking about taking CBD compound supplements with THC present, that’s very different. THC at low percentages have little to no actual psychoactive effects (talking sub 10% which is way higher than any CBD-specific product can legally be sold as). THC only acts as a catalyst in this fashion.

CDB, CBG, CBC, and CBN, which all occur in different stages of degradation of the THC and CBD compound molecules. CBN is one of the last stages of degradation of THC and is associated with the almost-narcoleptic like sleep and is generally responsible for times that weed knocks you out, which is what I’m guessing happens for you! Not to be one of those vocal enjoyers, moreso highlighting the science behind why you felt the way you have with various strains. It’s certainly the high doses of THC affecting you, but without any CBD compounds there’s nothing to ease the THC.

It’s similar to how we can take an NSAID and an analgesic. Of course we can just have one or the other to get the specific effect, but taking them combined delivers a wider range of effects that go beyond what they were originally meant for. edit The difference is that we have an endocannabinoid system that’s meant to be active and using these theoretically helping prevent the issues in the first place - whereas NSAID and analgesics something we take as a suppressive.
