I think it’s literally called “SQLite”. I haven’t used it though, so idk how good it is…

TrueNAS Scale if you want something simple that just works and Proxmox if you wanna configure/customize stuff with a lot more power under the hood…

Imo, either choice is better than unraid.

doesn’t vscode have an extension that does that?

My question is… why proton drive and not github or codeberg or… literally any VCS?

I mostly use Spotify, but have the flacs of a few albums I really like on navidrome. As for how I got them… Yeah. I do have the for CDs a few of them but I don’t have a CD reader and most of them are completely destroyed, so I feel like piracy is justified for those.

You sell it and buy a normal one /s

“Did stuff”

//TODO: Make this better

And you never look at it or touch it again.

There, code fixed!

Sums up my experience with C++. It’s fun until you actually start using it and then you get hit with: Idiotic syntax, no package management, C compilers, different operating systems, compiling in general, having to code everything from scratch, memory management and a lot more…

Shit hit me so hard, I began learning web dev instead and never looked back…

Changing stuff and seeing what happens. Yeah, about sums up my “debugging”.

What I usually do is I explain what the function does and, if not self explanatory, explain why it does such thing. Like, with the clock example, I’d explain that it tells the time and then, if not immediately obvious, explain why the time needs to be known… Smth like that.

There is no “correct” way of commenting code. I personally think the more verbose, the better, but that’s an unpopular opinion afaik. As long as the code can be understood, the comment is doing it’s job.

PS, I’m also kinda new to programming, mostly doing JS and React stuff

150$ is rather ambitious for what you are describing as a custom made low power server. Managing to build something… Anything commercial out of new, hell even refurbished parts that has enough horse power to run anything more than a pihole/DNS server at this price point would be a challenge and a half. If you’re going refurbished/2nd hand, you’re likely gonna spend half of that on just shipping the parts to you.

I believe you are vastly underestimating the price of new low end parts and vastly overestimating the capabilities and availability of old micro servers. I’d say something like this would work at a price range of around 300~400$ (and even that’s ambitious imo).

And even then, that’s a NICHE audience you’d be targeting. It would be people who don’t wanna pay subscriptions, but also don’t wanna be bothered to spend a day or 2 figuring out how to set up a simple linux box on an old computer they have. I’m not saying that audience doesn’t exist, it’s just veeeeery niche.

I’m biased towards TrueNAS scale, because in my experience, it’s been really rock solid, running on bare metal. It also allows you to setup things like Nextcloud/Tailscale/ a lot more, in 1 click from their “app store”. It’s also got all the virtualization bells and whistles. As for ZFS, again, just like everything else, it’s been rock solid and setting up a ZFS pool is pretty much done for you when you install TN Scale.

As for remote access, I’ve always personally done it via a local Wireguard server and can’t really compare it to tailscare or whatever cloudflare does… Because I’ve never used those.

If you need a GPU just for encoding, go on the 2nd hand market and pick up a used Nvidia RTX 2000/3000 card. Intel Arc could also work, but it’s a bit quirky afaik…

I mean, all of my cables are CAT 5e and I can easily pull a gigabit down and up from my NAS… Which has a gigabit NIC, so ig you’re right.

CAT8 40MB/s

I think you went a but overkill with that one, high quality CAT6 cables would have done the same job, but hey, if it works, it works.

For desktop CPUs… Higher number = better. That’s it. i5 > i3 > pentium, 11xxxx > 10xxxx > 9xxx… etc. For laptop CPUs… Good luck

If you hate it so much… why are you on it atm?

100% Agree, it feels like most documentation is written in a way that expects you to already know what it’s talking about… When it’s the documentation’s job to teach me about it.

2020 called, they want their opinion back I respectfully disagree

I mean… Bad documentation isn’t specific to selfhosting.
