Building a pc and need input of whether on not this is the best bang for the buck I can get. Budget is from 1.2k - 1.35k euro.

I'm using only one specific site in my country because it's the most reliable one here.

Link to the build

The site I'm using is Futura-IT which has 10% on anything you buy.

Only thing I need here is the ryzen 5 7600x because I need it for rpcs3 emulation, so the fact that the cpu is stronger than the gpu in the list is intended because of the kind of stuff I do and play. Otherwise I wanna play games at 1080p 144hz but willing to play games at 60fps with high settings.

Hello, I'm thinking of building a gaming pc next month and as such I'm looking good cpu + gpu combo.

The total cost of the PC* I could prob accept up to 1.5k euro to 1.7k as total maximum I can't go over.

Please use german amazon for prices cause I live in eu country and german amazon is cheapest when it comes to hardware prices/import fees for me.

I'm only accepting nvidia gpu as an option because O have bad experiences with amd gpu's both in hardware and drivers and don't mind spending a bit more on nvidia to get similar performance as some 40% less expensive amd card.

The card doesn't need to be running every game at ultra setting 160 fps 1080p, should be able to run most games at 60 fps atleast medium setting for next year or two.

I was looking into 4060ti 16 gb version which is about 700 euro, mostly because I'm thinking about trying local llm's also.

As for the cpu both intel and amd are fine but would prefer amd because I heard of some problems with intel cpu in never gens.

NOTE: used market here for gpu's is almost non existent where I live, so it isn't an option.

So today I enabled the hdr setting in windows 11 and everything seemed fine.

Tried playing genshin and it crashed right away.

After disabling hdr I started getting weird artifacting so I restarted and everything worked fine.

I reloaded my gpu undervolting settings in radeon software (rx 6750xt ) and they worked fine.

Went ahead and upgraded the driver and rebooted. Now the undervolt settings crash on stress test and any game I'm trying to play.

Is the windows 11 hdr setting actually killing my gpu????

EDIT: Ended up changing the undervolt from -120 to -100mV and that seems ti have stopped the crashing. Can a driver really affect undervolting that much?

EDIT2: Actually it stopped crashing at -75 undervolt.

Today I undervolted my brother's amd rx 6950xt by 120mv ( at 125mv a game we tested would crash at 100% usage and max power draw ).

Also made his fan curve more agressive cause by default it never wen't over 55% fan speed which is just stupid.

This in total lowered his temps across in mist games from average 80C to 55-60C and lowered power draw on average by 20W.

It also allowed him to play supraland at max settings with gpu not going over 70C instead of lowest setting 80C on average.

So yeah, if you never tried or bothered with undervolting try it and post your results. Or if you did it before post your story and results.

So I'm migrating stuff from my old server to a new provider and only thing left is email.

The problem is I used luke smith's emailwiz script ( the script and setup itself isn't a problem ) because it uses system users for managing users with dovecot and friends to setup a mail server.

So now I'm looking for a new email server to selfhost (preferably docker/podman) that in the future I can easilly migrate.Would also love if somebody has a reccomendation on how I could backuo and import emails from the old server.

NOTE: I use caddy as webserver, so the server should have a simple way on getting ssl certs, or abikity to easilly make use if caddy one's.

Hello, I have been a linux user for close to 6 years now and I have changed my distro quite a bit ( especially in first few months of starting out linux ).

I have wen't from ubuntu, xubuntu, fedora, peppermint, arch, artix, ... in first few years. After that I have settled on arch for close to 2 years. After that long time on arch I decided to try out and test interesting distro's for at minimum 6 months every year ( and if I didn't like them I would go to arch back ) until I found something else I could main because I have found a few issues with arch that I could accept but would become annoying from time to time.

Across the two year's I started this yourney I have used gentoo ( used it for a year but then the lack of a proper retroarch package made me change the distro, plus the 3+ hours compile times when updating specific software ( looking at you qt-webengine and firefox ) ), then I choose to try out nixos which I used for 3/4 months before all that main maintainer debacle and splitting of the team I wen't back to arch because I didn't wan't a distro I'm using falling appart on me.

And here I am now, another year is soon to start and I'm searching for another different type of a distro to try out that does something differently compared to most distros, even willing to try out nixos again if the situation has stabilized now.

My only hard requirement is that the distro need's to be able to play games ( as in steam and gog ).

Edit: just to clarify, I'm chaning distro's on a yearly basis for a learning experience and fun.

Hello, I got 20 euro to spend on the autunm sale, so wanted to ask what games you would recommend to get.

Any kind of game work's of any kind of game work's up ti 20 euro.

You can reccommend one amazing game for 20 euro, or multiple small addctivie indie titles for up to 20 euro, anything goes.

Looking forward to check out your recommendations.

Hello, I'm interested into some good casula shooter's that work on linux. My only requirement is that they shouldn't EVER have to use an external launcher like ea ( have bf3 on steam and the ea launcher just doesn't wanna work ).

I played games like splitgate, halo infinite and battlebit remastered

Hello, I wan't to get my first handheld for playing retro games.

I'm mostly looking for a handheld that can handle 3rd generation consoles (nes/sega ms), 4th generation consoles ( pc engine/sega genesis/snes ) and handheld's like gb/gbc/gba.

In general no need for 3d consoles like ps/n64/sega saturn ( would be a nice bonus if it could, but I'm mostly only interested in 2d consoles for now ).

Something with looks of a gameboy advanced would be nice in my opinion.

Would like it to be able to be modded with diff rom's/customizable software and ability to be able add my own rom sets.

Price isn't an issue and am looking for the most premium possible experience with 2d consoles (I would most likelly mostly be playing gba games ).

Hello, I have recently been seeing a boom in people using ansible for automating setting up vps's, services, ...

Is it worth it to learn ansible to do also automate the way I setup everything, or is a bash script good enough ( I know some bash scripting but ansible seems like it could be more worth the time to learn )?

Hello, today I would like to announce the creation of a mattermost group "Casual Selfhosters".

I created it because I feel like there is a need for real time chat at times when it comes to helping someone with selfhosting and some aspects of communication generally work better in real time chat, than in a forum like setting like what lemmy does.

The server is hosted on a dedicated hetzner machine.

I would love for the mattermost group to grow alongside this lemmy community and be a good addition in helping other people get into selfhosting.

Hoping for good feedback to make the community even better and hope people will find it usefull if they are ever in need of real time chat to help someone across the globe.

Hello, I would like to hear your opinions about a good selfhosted messenger like discord.

To list exactly what I mean by that is:

• No need for federation ( only will be used by friends )
• E2EE
• Support for direct messages
• Support for discord like server management by which I mean the ability to set rooms and topics for such rooms.

From what I know, this seems to be more similar to slack alternative's but wanted to hear opinions of others.

I have been thinking about either matrix, mattermost, rocket.chat or revolt chat.

I already have a XMPP server, but setting up encryption and client's has turned away quite a few people I would like to get onto this platform.

EDIT: As pointed by other people E2EE isn't needed for my usecase if no federation.

Hello, I'm wondering what do you guys use and recommend for efficient book, comic, manga and lightnovel file management, tagging, directory structures and automated tools for all that.

My collection is mostly made from humble bundle book bundles, for getting tags into comics I use comictagger and as for file structure, it was mostly just me just putting something to separate the books.

I wan't to hear you guys input because most of you are a lot more efficient or have a lot more experience in saving big ammounts of data, and I wan't to make my process as painless and future proof as possible as my collection starts to grow.

Edit: I use linux so software like comicrack which I heard a lot about isn't really accessible to me. The files also need to be accessible to my kavita server.

Hello, I have a mumble server running as a docker container.

I'm using lego to generate let's encrypt certificates using dns challenge as an unprivileged user.

My problem is that I need to restart the mumble server so that it can reload the ssl certificate, which means restarting the docker container.

Is there any way to do this withuot adding the user to docker group, since there are security issues with that group where it's easy to escalate to a root user.

I thought about maybe a user level systemd service could be able to do it, but wan't to hear your opinions?

EDIT: I mention mumble specifically here, but this can apply to any server that requires manual reload of ssl keys, like postfix for example. I'm also not againd the idea of converting to something like kubernetes or even podman ( which would be harder cause of file permissions on all my binds ) if they can allow for woking on the container without root privileges.

Hello, I have seted up my lemmy server couple months back and am loving it. One problem I have with it is that I can't follow individual users so I have been thinking about selfhosting another fediverse service that will satiate my need to follow specific users.

Most popular platform on the world generally for that is twitter so I wan't to see if there is any good twitter alternative. I know of mastodon but have heard that it can be hard to selfhost and uses a lot of storage ( that wouldn't be that much of a problem with s3 storage provider, like what I do with lemmy already ).

So I would like to know if there is any simpler "twitter" alternatives for following single user's on the fediverse, preferably with s3 storage support.

If mastodon is the best in that regard I most likelly will just selfhost it.

Hello, I wan't to ask if anyone knows of a good alternative for certbot for acquiring ssl certificates for nginx.

Certbot isn't good anymore for me since I started using crowdsec with nginx bouncer that uses lua block's inside nginx config that cerbot can't parse, making it not work anymore.

I use nginx because it's the one I know the best and for my use case work's the best. ( Hosting both program's directly on metal and docker container's )

Hello, recently I have moved from nginx to traefik and have found an "issue" that I would like to have fixed.

Originally with the nginx config I had a block that allowed for ntfy to work with curl without having to specify https:// but with traefik this doesn't work and throws out Permanent Redirect when trying to send a notification using curl.

This are currently my traefik settings for ntfy using labels: yml ... labels: - traefik.http.routers.ntfy.rule=Host(`ntfy.cronyakatsuki.xyz`) - traefik.http.routers.ntfy.tls=true - traefik.http.routers.ntfy.entrypoints=websecure - traefik.http.routers.ntfy.tls.certresolver=lets-encrypt - traefik.port=80 ...

Is there any way to setup traefik and ntfy to be able to send notification without having to specific the protocol or is there no way?

Hello, recently I have started to see the limit's of vps's and have been thinking about getting a hetzner dedicated server from the auction. My question is are they worth it and if so what would be the best way to make use of them.

By that I mean should I get something like proxmox on it and make use if it that way, or install a stable os like debian and have it all installed in docker making use of the pure power of the system that way?

Edit: My use case for my server vps is my main website, but I also host a lot of alternative frontend' and some other thing like a feed reader (miniflux) and other things like that, that with time I have accumulated and if I wanted to have them all running well would either have to spend money in uograding one vps, or buy multiple smaller one's. In both cases this could end up quite costly.

Reason I can't do it on my own hardare is space contraint's, part's avalibility where I live and prices. They are high.

Edit2: If there is any other good alernartive dedicated server peovider that won't break a bank like hetzner, please recommend them.

I have a jellyfin instance running with radarr/sonarr/... for my media needs on my vps.

Problem is that I don't have huge amount of storages and I would like to expand the storage until I'm able to make a personal server ( I don't have space where I live for even a mini pc rn ).

From the options that I have been considering the contabo ( my vps provider ) storage expansion are quite costly so I have been thinking about hetzner storage boxes or a backblaze b2 bucket mounted with rclone/s3fs.

The problem with backblaze is that I use hardlinks with my *arr suite so to save up on space so I'm not sure if I can mount them preserving the hard links.

What would be your thought or reccomendation? Should I get a hetzner storage box and just mount it or is there anything else I could do until I manage to make my own personal server?
