This is why Debian is my server of choice, and my work desktop of choice.
OP, There are some flavors of Debian out there that are more rapid release, like LMDE, Siduction, Sparky, even Kali (though I wouldn’t recommend Kali as a primary desktop personally). Some based on Sid, some based on Testing.
Dockge would be more appropriate for that.
Watchtower has different functionality, mainly keeping them up to date with images.
You want Jenkins, GH Actions, or even ansible.
Get rid of the plastic, attach it to one of your own gloves.
Way better experience. Also really good for home grown vr in the early 90’s (combined with some LCDs nabbed off camcamcorders and a VGA to s-video (or composite) converter).
i’d love to see a new powerglove. Though I think at this point an esp32 and some sensors could do all the same tricks… Hmmmm…
Right now it’s got some private info in there, but I’ve been meaning to make it sanitized to share, so I’ll let you know
Phenomenal, thank you!
If you do find it let me know, I’d love to see it! I really do have about 20 hours of training in networking I give to folks, and since it’s literally 20 hours of information, I like to put in fun stuff.
Like a picture of a facemask I added during COVID with “stay at 127.0.0.1, don’t 255.255.255.255”. Super cheesy but at least it’s a mental distraction from information overload haha
Well this is going in my “basics of networking” presentation.
Let’s see…
My servers (tiny/mini/micros) in total are about… 600W or so. Two NASs, about 15-20W a piece.
I spend a out $150/mo in electricity, but my hot water/HVAC/etc are the big power draw. I’d say about $40-50/mo is what I’m spending on powering the servers in my office.
Definitely puts off some heat, but that’s partially because it’s all in one rack, and I’ve got a bunch of other work hardware in there. It’s about 2 degrees warmer in my office than the rest of my home, but I also have air cycling all the time since it’s a single unit HVAC and I need to keep the air moving to keep it all the right temp in the other rooms anyway (AC will come on more often otherwise, even without my rack).
Bigger number sounds better for the ISP.
That’s what is enabled when you check that box.
After you get the basics (others covered that), what I like to do when learning a new language is make a series of simple games.
Things like:
Etc. Good luck and enjoy learning!
So a few comments…
I’d second this, if only because it’s super easy to run things on and OP explicitly said they don’t want to tinker with it. There is a limited list, imo, of buy and forget.
That’s said, I personally think a cheap little 4th gen or higher Intel based tiny/mini/micro would do a way better job on the services side, and just store on the NAS.
Just run windows in a VM for when you absolutely need it. It’s how I can do my job but not be constantly barraged with ads in a start menu.
Pfft, that’s only because you write garbage code in rust.
I write garbage code in lots of languages!
For lots of services that require little CPU and ram, I use tiny/mini/micro PCs, bought used. I get them for anywhere from $100-$400, and usually all I do is drop in an SSD. That includes Linux VMs when I’m testing distros or deployment on a distro, since 32gb ram on the host is more than enough to leave 4-8gb ram to the VM.
For some heavier applications, I also have a 4RU case stacked with drives, which I use as a third NAS (VM with drives passed through), large DBs, etc. Its just a 1700x with 64GB ram, and that’s plenty.
For most things (DNS, a few web servers, git, grafana, Prometheus, rev proxies, Jenkins, personal fdroid repo, homepage, etc) I just use the tiny/mini/micro’s. Imo, you can’t go wrong with those for your services, and a big case with spare parts and lots of drives for your NAS. Especially at the price you mentioned. Just remember you can separate your services easily, so don’t focus on getting everything in one spot, you can make your requirements (and cost) go up quickly.
Agreed, I prefer trunk with native to the vlan for services, each container that the reverse proxy will hit in its own vlan (or multiples for differing sets of services, but I can be excessive).
I’d block any traffic initiated from that vlan to all others, and I’d also only allow the specific ports needed for the services. Then fully open initiated from the general internal vlan.
I say “no”, but for your case and for your mom, I’d agree with what others have said, a standalone library.
BUT! Only the Christian movies. Put them in a library called “The Christerion Collection”.
ResourceSpace maybe?
Take a look at Apache OFBiz, Akounting, Frappe Books, and LedgerSMB.
