There is also the deep asymmetry of effort. Nearly all moderators are volunteers that put in largely invisible effort every day, for no return. As all humans they sometimes make mistakes and can also have a bad day.

On the other hand there are people that put almost no effort in, but are deeply offended by any moderation action against them and will rise a huge stink about it.

These two factors together make people very reluctant to volunteer for moderation duties in popular communities, which is a major issue for the health of the Lemmyverse as a whole.

The one at the top could also be a connector for a serial port for debugging or so.

https://github.com/fatedier/frp seems to be designed for such cases, but I have not tried it myself.

Nothing specifically, just nice improvements cumulating over the years.

Installing Linux on most hardware became really easy maybe 5 years ago.

Gnome works quite well on a larger touch-screen. Edit: ah, Ubuntu should have that by default.

Lead acid can boil over and fill a badly ventilated room with flammable hydrogen and other toxic gasses.

A well maintained LiFePO4 battery that some modern UPS use it probably less risky, but I think the risk for both is very low.

Well I guess !climate@slrpnk.net !energy@slrpnk.net and !technology@slrpnk.net are already quite well known.

!balconygardening@slrpnk.net and !inperson@slrpnk.net are kinda cool as well. In general have a look at our community list, we have some good ones that are at least reasonably active.

There is a special .iso archive for all past releases.

Yes, don’t expose Windows to the internet 😒

https://opnsense.org/ is a good system if you want an easy to install and open-source firewall.

Edit: no need to buy their official hardware. Any x86 system with two network ports will do.

When you are actively charging the batteries off a solar panel for example, it will be even higher, up to 17V 14.5V or so I think. The automotive PicoPSUs only cost a little more and will smooth it out up to 24V I think… there are even some models that go up to 48V.

Edit: why the down-votes? Is this incorrect?

Some people want to be able to reach their server via SSH when they are not at home, but yes I agree in general that is not necessary when running a real home server.

Get a PicoPSU for automotive use (there are two varieties, one that needs stable 12v and another that can run directly off a battery with varying voltage).

Don’t leave SSH on port 22 open as there are a lot of crawlers for that, otherwise I really can’t say I share your experience, and I have been self-hosting for years.

This is nonsense. A small static website is not going to be hacked or DDOSd. You can run it off a cheap ARM single board computer on your desk, no problem at all.

I think the term often used is “NAT reflection”.

Hmm, I think there are more people that are #1 and #2 the same time (not me though) and the bigger divide is between those that rent a VPS and those that run a homelab.

You can compile it from source.

Usually* there is a database for the file meta-data that will benefit from faster access times of a SSD, the files themselves can be on a HDD.

*not sure how Immich specifically does it.

Hmm, yes maybe running GNU/Linux on a Lapdock could be an interesting usecase for this. Didn’t think of that, thanks!
