Self host sff project
  • This was my starting up machine. Of course, an nvme makes sense, especially running windows on it. I went for Proxmox, and now I have 4 different machines, a cluster of 3 similar sffs, and a chunkier boi with an i7, 64gb ram and a quadro gpu. This one was the most expensive, around 250€.

    Beware, this is how it starts. From a single machine in my office, I went to a mini Datacenter in my cellar, with 4 "servers" (micro-pcs), two Nas devices, a raspberry pi cluster, a dell wyse cluster, new switches and access points, and so much more :))

  • you can get away with half that. i run my setup (similar to what you wrote) on a dell micro sff with an i5 6500t and 16gb ram that i paid 90€ for. not the snappiest, but works just fine.

  • why are website language switchers in the current language?
  • I'm not saying it should include English, I was just using it for clarification. I think each language / country should be in the native language.

    I only realized the list is a region selector after it was pointed out to me. Maybe this proves my point, I didn't know what the button I pressed was for :) Having the region/country name in the website language does make sense. Language names however...

    Flags do help, but there are none in this example (mobile or desktop version). Sometimes flags can be confused too (Romania, Moldova, Chad).

    I don't have a solution, and I'm not the usual ranter, I mostly post in the cooking community :)

  • why are website language switchers in the current language?

    This always annoys me. I land on a site that's in a language I don't understand (say, Dutch), and I want to switch to something else. I open the language selector and... it's all in Dutch too. So instead of Germany/Deutchland, Romania/România, Great Britain, etc, I get Duitsland and Roemenië and Groot-Brittannië...

    How does that make any sense? If I don't speak the language, how am I supposed to know what Roemenië even is? In some situations, it could be easier to figure it out, but in some, not so much. "German" in Polish is "Niemiecki"... :|

    Wouldn't it be way more user-friendly to show the names in their native language, like Deutsch, Română, English, Polski, etc?

    Is there a reason this is still a thing, or is it just bad UX that nobody bothers to fix?

    Introducing reitti: a selfhosted alternative to Google Timeline
  • I see what you mean, interesting. Didn't really look at NixOS as a server os. I personally prefer using multiple compose files (in the process of migrating to k8s). I share resources too, like in your example, I just point to the existing DB instance, not create a new one for each new service.

    minty couscous, garlic/lemon chicken
  • That's a good idea, I used to keep minced garlic cubes in the freezer. However, it doesn't take that long to peel and mince a couple cloves of garlic, I just didn't have the time to grate a cucumber, and I was out of fresh dill to go full tzatziki.

  • Steam Beta finally enables Proton on Linux fully, making Linux gaming simpler
  • It doesn't, as far as I could tell. I enabled the global option, and now I can just install and run windows only games without having to manually force the compatibility layer. Meanwhile, the Linux native games work just as intended.

  • coconut shrimp curry, jasmine rice, a side of mint raita dip

    cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/31380036 >

    Pan fry shrimp in a bit of peanut oil, lightly salt (I had a 800g frozen pack), set aside.

    Sauté 1 diced onion, 4 garlic cloves, thumb of ginger in the same pan.

    Add 3 spoons curry powder mix (I used turmeric, cumin, coriander, chili) and 2 spoons of tomato paste.

    Stir in 500 ml coconut milk + 100 ml water. Simmer 5–10 min.

    Add back the shrimp just to heat up for a couple minutes.

    Finish with juice of half lime.

    For the raita - I used ~500g greek yoghurt, with a grated cucumber (drained the water), a clove of garlic, a pinch of salt, the juice from half lime, and some fresh mint. (It's very similar to tzatziki, without the dill and less garlic.)
