Looking for places to have realtime chats.

Awhile ago I saw a developer posting about their new project to recreate the home movie experience with modern smartphone -taken video clips. It might have been posted in this community.

Does anyone know how to find this?

OK so a year or so back, I was putting a stack of tshirts temporarily on my bookshelf, and I liked it so much I started moving more of my clothes out of the drawers and onto the shelf. So now I have 3 shelves for books, two and a half for clothes, one for rocks, seashells, and other pretty things, and 1/2 for random items.

I really like being able to see all my clothes at a glance, and it is way easier to get dressed in the morning and put away laundry. I just make sure to put newly cleaned clothes at the bottom of the stacks whenever I do laundry. Is there a computer science term for a type of stack where you read off the top and write to the bottom?

Anyway my real question for this community is, "Am I missing out by not using drawer technology?" Some part of me thinks that there must be some advantage to using drawers for clothes that I just. don't. get. (Besides the fact that it might not be normal lol - or is it? Are your clothes on the shelf? What do you think? Byeeeee!)

This is perfectly fine, right?

So like, how does Lemmy work?

When I click on a post, let's say Lemmy.World, that server sends me the page over the Internet. I get that part. But how does it do comments? Does it tell my phone to go ask lemm.ee and blahaj servers, etc, and fetch the comments?

And why does a post on lemmy.world have have a blahaj URL when I look at it? Is my server making a copy?

I'm ready to graduate from my Raspberry Pi era of selfhosting and buy hardware specifically for use as a server.

I've been recommended in the past to look for used Lenovo Thinkstations and/or Dell Optiplex, but it has been so many years since I've shopped for a computer, I don't know what kind of specs to look for. What are the types of specs I should look for to get the best value for money?

I'm hoping to spend around $300-400, get something that can be upgraded in the future to last 10+ years, and do the following things:

• YUNoHost / reverse proxy
• Nextcloud with a custom domain for email addresses, cloud drive, photos
• Music Streaming with something like Navidrome
• Serve static websites
• pi-Hole
• Maybe pi-VPN

And someday maybe:

• Host game servers like minecraft
• Jellyfin for videos
• Kodi and output to TV?

So far based on my selfhosted journey, I expect to want the following:

• Room for 3+ Hard Drives
• External UPS (probably will go with the cheap APC at Microcenter that's always on sale).
• Solid Power Supply / Cooling
• probably 1000 gigabit Networking (?)

The types of questions I have for Thinkstations / Optiplex:

• How is the Power Supply / Cooling?
• Processor? Do I need i5? i7? Generations? AMD? Clock Speed? I'm completely lost here.
• How much RAM do I need?
• Do I need a discrete graphics card? Can Thinkstations / Optiplex have a graphics card added to them later?
• Anything else I'm missing?

Thanks!

Isn't it supposed to be ice creams and milkshakes and stuff?
