A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

@ablackcatstail @nisegami
I'm a big fan of the "sure, I'll take that laptop you just replaced" school of servers. I run Jellyfin on a 2012 MacBook Pro (running Debian), and Home Assistant (and things that support HA, like Zigbee2MQTT) on my mom's old Presario (also Debian). Since these are just running inside my home network for my own use, I don't need anything high-powered (though the MacBook is beefy, even if 11 years old).
@ablackcatstail @nisegami (Since this thread is meant to be about self-hosting social networks I do also have Friendica on the Presario, so I'm not entirely off-topic!)
