Professionally on a non-recurring issue - absolutely.
With my stuff at home? Only if the wife suffers from the downtime.

I would go for registering my own domain and then rent a small vps and run debian 12 server with bind9 for dns + dyndns.
If you don’t want to put the whole domain on your own name servers then you can always delegate a subdomain to the debian 12 server and run your main domain on your domain registrators name servers.

If your registrar is supported the ddns-updater sounds a lot easier.

It wasn’t meant as a “gotcha!” as I was curious to see the stats, I think that your bias is correct and that those like me that prefer the compact format are a minority.
Seems that there are unusually many of us perusing Lemmy though.

I believe having a poll where people choose their favourite Desktop UI, their favourite way of consuming lemmy content on their mobile devices as well as ask them if they consider using an alternate UI a hassle. That would be a great first step when it comes to deciding on where the UI should be headed. The next problem would be getting the poll to those that chose to leave lemmy and those that never tried it.

Agreed - my use-case would be “24/7 server + gaming vm on demand with my monitor and peripherals connected to the gaming vm” and I doubt that is what most are going for.

The reason I mentioned my own build is because I consider putting all the components together to be a step up in complexity too, when compared to going pre-built. For someone who is comfortable with building their own PC I would definitely recommend doing that, the ability to tailor the hw to your needs is so much greater. :)

I really enjoyed the first one. I missed some side quests due to shooting npcs in the head when they gave me attitude, but it was worth it. It had some long sought freedom compared to most new open world sandbox rpgs.

It has more functionality

Hairpin NAT/NAT Reflection can make the experience of visiting the WAN IP from the LAN a different one then if you do it from somewhere else. Or what is your what?

As long as you make yourself some aliases for your common ffmpeg commands including flags I’m sure it’s gonna work out fine. Using something like OBS is gonna make it a lot easier of course.

I’m kinda the opposite. I love the information density of the lemmy ui and as a text first user I dislike auto expanding pictures with a vengeance. Now I don’t really care what the default is as long as I can choose my poison.

Where did you find statistics on client use? I browse lemmy using firefox/mull whether it’s on desktop, laptop, tablet or phone.

First off, check that it is also true when using a device outside the LAN. Easiest would be to check with your phone with wifi off. You probably won’t get to the login.
If you do then it’s time to check firewall settings.

A DIY solution like your home server is great. I’m just adverse to recommending it to someone who need to ask such an open ended question here. A premade NAS is a lot more plug n play.

Personally I went with an ITX build where I run everything in a Debian KVM/qemu host, including my fedora workstation as a vm with vfio passthrough of a usb controller and the dgpu. It was a lot of fun setting it up, but nothing I’d recommend for someone needing advice for their first homelab.

I agree with your assessment of old servers, way too power hungry for what you get.

A simple way to ensure your selfhosting is easy to manage is to get a NAS for storage and then other device(s) for compute. For your current plans I think you’d get far with a Synology DS224+ (or DS423+ if you want more disk slots).
Then when the NAS starts to be not enough you can add an extra device for compute (a mini pc or whatever you want) and let that device use the NAS as a storage.
Oh and budget to buy at least one large USB Drive to use as a backup, even if your NAS runs a redundant RAID.

And now articles telling us it wasn’t real has started showing up.

Right, I’m not accusing OP of faking his content. I’m stating the possibility of the original poster from linkedin spreading a lie for the sake of publicity.

All the articles I’ve visited just write about the image in the OP and state that they haven’t verified the claims, f.e:
However, India Today could not independently verify the authenticity of the viral screenshot of the email.

Also interesting to how at least one reposter seem to be a digital marketer.
“Shitiz Dogra, Associate Director of Digital Marketing at IndiGo”

I wouldn’t be surprised if this is all fake and meant to spread the company name.

I also tend to fall back to Clonezilla. I don’t feel that the Rescuezilla GUI adds much.
Regarding compatibility both the latest Rescuezilla (since September 2024) and Clonezilla (Since July 2024) uses partclone 0.3.32 so they should once again be compatible.

I don’t think you’ll find much use for more than 1 Gbit/s internet but if your desktop pc has a free pcie slot you can look at buying a 10Gbit/s pcie card and a 10Gbit/s network switch as your backbone for fun. You’ll rarely have use for it though.

I imagine you’re talking about bandwidth and that your 300MB is actually 300Mbit/s and all your Gs are Gbit/s.
The fastest ADSL I’ve heard of is 24Mbit/s downstream, aka ADSL2+/G.992.5. You don’t have ADSL.
I would guess that your “ADSL” is actually fiber and that your “Cable” is coaxial cable (same type that gives you cable tv).
If you wanna use more than 1Gbit/s your devices also need to support it. Even with WiFi 6 you will seldom reach 1Gbit/s so we’re talking CAT6 cables and a motherboard that supports at least 2.5Gbit/s.
