I have a love hate relationship with this man. He has spearheaded some of my favorite games even if they came nowhere close to what was promised. It's so weird to come back to Fable and enjoy it more than I did when it came out.

Just the type of mod I want!

Everyone should try disabling ALL notifications and then working their way up to understand which alerts are worth getting interrupted for. Everything you do on your phone ends up becoming more intentional and your battery life goes up too because your screen isn't constantly getting turned on from the barrage of notifications. To date, I only have 1 notification turned on and it's when my significant other messages me.

Akira x Barbie, very cool.

Yeah but can it host PiHole?

We have so much computing power at home and the chances you have good reliable Internet at home are better than before. I revived 5 year old PCs and it's way too much computing power for my self host needs. I'd have to pay $200+ a month for the same compute power in the cloud. Even a Raspberry Pi with 8GB is capable of running quite a bit for fractions of a penny in electricity.

Sync is $20 to remove ads no? Where is it $100?

Update: nevermind I see it here for sync ultra

This one triggers the entire spectrum of human emotion.

If you only need public access to things like HTTP or SSH you don’t necessarily need to run dynamic ip and just setup Cloudflare Tunnels. So far I haven’t needed to put anything public that doesn’t run on the provided tunnels.

I am debt-free thanks to YNAB and now when I buy something big, I really feel it. Before I buy something I always go to YNAB and see what it feels like to empty a category or move money away. If it doesn't feel good, I'll usually sleep on it a few nights until I feel comfortable making the purchase. A lot of times I've just outright skipped the purchase!

I've never had so much fun self-hosting. A decade or so ago I was hosting things on Linode and running all kinds of servers for myself but with the rise of cloud services, I favored just giving everything to Google. I noticed how popular this community was on Reddit/Lemmy and now it's my new addiction.

I'm a software engineer and have plenty of experience deploying to AWS/GCP so my head has been buried in the sand with these cloud providers. Now that I'm looking around there are things like NextCloud, Pihole, and Portainer all set up with Cloudflare Zero Trust... I feel like I'm living the dream of having the convenience to deploy my own services with proper authentication and it's so much fun.

Reviving old hardware to act as local infra is so badass it feels great turning on old machines that were collecting dust. I'm now trying to convince my brother to participate in doing hard-drive swaps on a monthly basis so I have some backup redundancy off-site without needing to back up to the cloud.

Sorry if this feels ranty but I just can't get over how awesome this is and I feel like a kid again. Cheers to this awesome community!

EDIT: Just also found Fission and OpenFaaS, selfhosted serverless functions, I'm jumping with joy right now!

I dusted off my RPI4 and started tinkering with self-hosting things and it's sparked a fire. Suddenly I have 7 docker containers running and I need more RAM, more space and I want something reliable with room to grow. I like small form factors but it doesn't need to be RPI small. Any recs for your favorite hardware under $500?

I don't mind seeing people running around but I'd love an option to turn off nameplates. There's a rampant amount of I'm 14 and this is funny names and that breaks the immersion for me.
