It would, but it does not have SATA. You can find much cheaper computers that do have it

For a server like this 4GB of DDR4 is enough. And that is cheap still.

Woah, they take the blame and apologize. This is not often seen and commands respect.

This looks … great.

I’m currently looking into Concourse.

It does have steeper-than-average learning curve, but I really like that it has well-defined fundamentals (resources, jobs, tasks) and isolation with OCI containers. Before I adopt it fully, I want it to run my nix flake dev shell.

Nice. I knew something was in the works for Material for MkDocs and it turned out to be exactly what I wanted. Which is a binary executable that you point to a repo and it gives you a static website.

Meanwhile, I’m using Pixel 3a for my main phone (for quite a few years now) and consider it a relatively up-to-date phone.

I wouldn’t say so - it’s not streaming app views from the server, it provides containers for apps, segmented into “grains”. So each open document gets it’s own container. Other than that, it’s just normal web apps (like immich or seafile).

For example, ether pad (document editor) is a) packaged to be single-click deployable on sandstorm (this is similar to dokploy), but also b) modified so that it runs each document as a “grain”.

In sandstorm, “grain” is some chunk of data + an instance of the app running. So when you open a document, it will spawn a new process for it on the server and attach the data needed to that process (similar to how you would attach volumes to docker containers). This grain is isolated from other open documents, which is good for security, but also good for development:

• apps don’t need to handle the organization or storage of documents (they just write to a dir and sandstorm associates it with the grain),
• apps don’t need to handle user auth or permissions,

The revolutionary thing about sandstorm is not all that much about administering hosting as it is about integrating deeply with applications.

My matrix server is nearing 5 years old. I have federation disabled, because I don’t need that - we are using it as a family chat. sqlite database I’m using is now 2GB, but other than that it is working great.

I do acknowledge that I’m not leveraging the things matrix is designed for (federation, e2e encryption), but to be honest, it’s not really good at that.

What would you say is the benefit to the consumer of common ownership here?

Jellyfin, and yes it thinks its very cleaver with mumbling metadata.

Rust will take time - it has a few concept that I haven’t seen in javascript/python/java/C++ family of languages. But it gives “zero-cost abstractions” i.e. a way to write high-level code without any performance penalty. And it has great tooling and WASM support, which is what you’d be after.

But as I said, it is all not worth it now, just for this application.

Sure, do recommend - I’d need a basic overview, but not too deep, as I don’t have enough motivation for in-depth review of all socialist governments in the last two centuries.

From what I read, it could easily be a tauri app, without a backend: just index.html in your system’s webview.

I did also forget to say it does look very nice, with animations and proper polish!

If you do delve into improving the performance, I suggest using Rust and no_std crates for dealing with images, such as https://docs.rs/zune-jpeg/latest/zune_jpeg/.

It would probably take some time to get it working, but it would probably increase performance and support any format you can find a crate for. But it does not seem like it’s worth it.

I’ll add this to my list of “things I might to when I don’t have a side project to waste my time on” :D

To be honest, I know little about Mao and beginnings of PRC - I’m quite ignorant about how much of an “absolute leader” he was.

But I do believe that idolizing a person and concentration of power are dangerous to democracy.

And it’s interesting how much responses I got on this topic.

I would say that Hungary is currently quite authoritarian. And Serbia too. Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy were too, very much so.
