I cannot reply to everyone, but genuinely thank you all so much for the help. I'll be going with a simplistic zola setup suggested by one of the commentors. I barely expected a handful, let alone all these comments. It really means a lot, especially to a noob who felt like this was a really dumb question.
Thank you for the advice. Honestly, I'm a young 20 something that just wants to output creative stuff for people to read and enjoy. None of this really popped in my head, so thanks.
I still want to host my own site for it though, but I will consider the self publishing angle as well. Thanks for the advice.
Hey hello, self-hosting noob here. I just want to know if anyone would know a good way to host my writing. Something akin to those webcomic sites, except for writing. Multiple stories with their own "sections" (?) and a chapter selection for each. Maybe a home page or profile page to just briefly detail myself or whatever, I don't know. It doesn't have to be fancy, and I apologize for not knowing how to describe this well. I've just been searching and searching and I don't know what to look up to find what I want, it's extremely frustrating. Any help is greatly appreciated.
He shouldn't have to, the point is read before commenting about a clickbait headline. If he has to spell it out that only furthers his point.
Yeah, but I prefer running it without a launcher. It's just cool to me I can easily run the games via clickng on the exe or searching it in a runner with very little hastle.
Why not dual boot? It's what most in that situation do.
I don't even think much when running games anymore. Even DRM-free games I get from Gog I can just click on and run with Wine most of the time. It's so awesome.
Didn't we also just break 3% last year, or am I mistaken? Either way, awesome news for the FOSS community.
I decided to get the R200 then upgrade to the T1 later. It just seemed better, I just fear that it won't be big enough for the future gen GPUs.
For context, this is my first PC build EVER. Not just my first SFF. I'm kind of stuck right now on which to get. The T1 seems to be objectively better designed, but it also seems to be much more for the tinker/SFF enthusiast. Building seems a lot more difficult, plus the warranty doesn't seem to be nearly as good as what I could get on the Terra.
I really don't want to mess up parts, or the case, or anything really. The Terra seems super easy to build in, and is much nicer looking imo. I could snag a nice 4 year warranty, and just have it sit there for a while.
Anyone who was or is in a similar situation as me have advice? It'd be very appreciated.
They definitely had a... certain audience in mind with this teaser lmao
I only have 1080p atm, but was planning on upgrading my monitor. I'm still debating on what to do really. My mobo is already future proof, and I have 32 gigs of RAM. I saw an open box 6700 XT going around 250, so tbh I might just wait for the gen after this one or something before I upgrade the monitor and get a new GPU. Only issue is that I want to go SFF, so I wonder if the next gen would even fit in this thing. The Terra can fit up to 320 mm, but it still scares me.
Minor ramble aside, thanks for the advice. This actually helped me the most.
Edit: Yeah these things are going for like 200 on the secondhand market. Ez pick.
Yeah, but the price difference is so negligible that I might as well go with the 7800XT at that point.
Thanks for the more in-depth comment. I want to build something that'll last a while without me having to upgrade it. Doing a minimal gaming build with the Fractal Terra.
Hello, very simple question. I am doing my first build and about to order my parts, but I was wondering if the 7800XT is worth the leap and possible long-term gains over the 6700XT? I wanted to know personal experience from normal people, rather than a bunch of tech youtubers. Also if you use Linux, that would be quite helpful.
I wonder how long it'll take before this gets shot down lol. Hopefully it'll make Sony hurry up with that port.
I am terrified yet intrigued by this absolute monster
I yearn for the day where we get more original anime with soul instead of adaptations that rarely live up to the source material, especially all the junk food VN adaptations we keep getting
Lmao more isekai waifu bait, I'm sad these things still make enough dough to get pumped out like this.
Hey, just wanted to get some activity rolling. I had my dumbphone journey for 3 months, and it was pretty great. Rocked a Light Phone and a Sony DAP running Linux. My mind was very free, and I thought a lot more. Unfortunately due to me being a young adult still at my parents they told me they wanted me to use a Smartphone again.
It's been a few months after that, and while measuring out the pros and cons I have decided I definitely want to get a dumbphone again, just one that's probably more on the "smarter" side. At the moment, I am hoping the upcoming Punkt MC01 will have a featureset comparable to the higher tier Sunbeam F1 and Pro devices., Perhaps with the ability to use self-hosted or at least generic option compared to their paid services. Caldav, Cardav, etc. Getting that, along with a Tangara for my other services like Navidrome, Audiobookshelf, etc. seems like it'd make for a great dumb, local network duo.
For a companion device, I'd like a tablet/laptop/netbook that's tiny and portable for other services I'd need. I've been looking at the MNT Reform Pocket and some Linux tablets such as these. (StarLabs Lite, Purism 11, Fydetab Duo)
How about you guys? What have your journeys been like? I'd love to hear. It's a pretty hard road to take in a world being controlled by mandatory apps and the like. I really wish so much wasn't dependent on the phone.
As I'm prepping my self-hosted setup I wanted to know the community's thoughts on Netbird, the FOSS and completely self hosted alternative to Tailscale. I often hear Tailscale used as a super easy plug and play way to share your home server contents with other people, so how does Netbird fair in comparison? Is it as easy? Is it a more buggy experience, more complicated, or does it just work? Any pros and cons, or niche edge case situations I should know about? Thanks in advance!
Hey all! As I've been branching off more and more into the Fediverse I've been looking at Masto alternatives and all of them are great. I like most quite a bit more than Mastodon for the UI and featureset. I want to selfhost one, and Akkoma's lightweight nature and rich features attracted me.
Yet for some reason it seems to be impossible to find and follow most Mastodon accounts on these platforms. I've tried various instances, and most of the people I follow just cannot be found. Is there a reason for this I do not know?
I want to set up a collaborative writing/socializing platform for my friend group using something like Calckey/Misskey, and just want to know if this is possible.
The non Fediverse options all look very lacking, and are meant for corporate/business environments anyway. It really feels like there's not many good and modern options for this sort of thing, but maybe there's better alternatives. Who knows, I'm really new to this scene.
Hey all, I'm a complete self hosting noob. I'm gonna be getting my first homeserver soon and I'm stuck between these two options currently. They're the same price pretty as well which makes it harder.
The G4 has a GPU (Integrated RX 560), but the G5 has better specs (i7-9700T vs i5-8500T) plus a much higher RAM capacity (The G5's 64GB vs the G4's 32GB.)
I'm just curious to know if the GPU would even help in my use case? I'll mainly be using it for media (Jellyfin, Kavita, Navidrome) and a ton of tiny services that'll only take up a few MBs of RAM. With quicksync, I'm unsure if the GPU would even be useful for transcoding, especially since you can only use one at a time. The only time I can think of it being useful is maybe for Owncast, but I wouldn't stream a lot. It'd be super minimal, non demanding stuff for my friends. (Mainly movies and ocassional gameplay.) Even that's up for debate with Element call for Matrix coming up soon.
I appreciate any and all answers! I've spent a ton of time looking into this and it's been a pretty big headache tbh.
If anyone owns this device, what's the maximum amount of storage I can insert into the 2.5" SATA bay? I keep looking online, but I can't find it.
With all the new clients popping up, is there any interest in the development of a TUI or CLI client for the terminal? I hope so, cause I'd really like the option. Browsing rtv for questions and help was a godsend, it also helped me not get sucked into scrolling.
Hey! I'm trying to get into self hosting and was wondering what would be possible with a single Pi, at least until I can get more capable hardware.
The servies I'm interested in would be things like a pihole, music server, photos server, a few personal fediverse instances (mainly owncast), a small Matrix homeserver for my friends, etc, etc. Media server but that's obviously way into the future I think.
While I don't intend or think I can run all of this on one Pi, I just want to know how much is possible. I'm really thankful for any feedback I may get. My apologies for the noobness if I'm completely wrong about all of this.
One last thing, any recommendations on any other services I should try out as a beginner?
Edit: In hindsight, I really do I wish I asked about the ability of sharing these services with people and how that would affect the load and performance. One of my biggest goals is to have this used by family and close friends.
I've been on Matrix for a few weeks now and like it quite a bit, but I'd like to join another homeserver to aid in the decentralization movement. Are there any trustworthy ones the people of Lemmy know of?
Edit: After looking, the only ones I found that were "recommended" are weird lolicon servers, or aren't federated with ANY of the rooms and spaces I want to be in. Why is the home server situation this bad??? Is Matrix's federation system different/worse or something? This is making very little sense to me.
I'm doing a lot better than I was a few years ago, but I still feel myself slip and fall into the same cycle a lot. What things have you guys been doing that has worked for you? It can be small, big, anything really.
Do you guys have any particular memories of your first manga experience(s)? I remember walking into Barnes and Nobles as a wee little lad, and asking one of the kind store ladies where the "anime" section as. She told me that it was called manga, and guided me to the proper section. I still remember going every so often with my mom, it was magical every time. I can't even remember how many times I re-read the first volume of One Piece.
One of my favorite J-Rock bands of all time. I love how they breath new life into old styles of music, mix retro and modern, and combine a whole bunch of genres together to make a wonderfully unique sound (at least to me.) Particularly old Super Robot anime, and other retro JP media like tokusatsu. While this song is pretty standard compared to their usual stuff, I feel it's pretty special considering their goal as anison artists.
I think seeing the media they produce music for would give a better understanding as to why I enjoy their music as much as I do, so I hope posting an MAD isn't against the rules. I apologize in advance if it is.
It feels nice to see people express themselves with an icon and banner of something they like instead of how homogenous the icons are on Reddit, unless you paid up of course. At least that's how I feel. Definitely an unexpected pro.
