Host steam-headless and use the GPU for that so you can have remote gaming on your phone anywhere you have 5G

You can also run a free cloudflare tunnel. It’s what I us3 so I don’t have to open a port for my nextcloud but still want it to be able to sync to my phone while not on vpn

I have nominated you to the who’s who in america award

For email and calendar I’D probably look into proton. For other software tools i would start with services people like that you don’t have to manage other than be like the admin and as you go try and find alternatives and self host your own and teat it out. Maybe even something like digital ocean where you can just spin up a droplet that’s presetup for you and learn more and more until you’re comfortable to transition other people to it

I was just thinking about my free oracle server if it would be good for my own lemmy instance?

Have you checked out grav https://learn.getgrav.org/17/basics/what-is-grav

https://github.com/getgrav/grav

I use it just to make simple markdown sites for info like my gaming servers or if I feel like making a random blog post

I setup nextcloud and just use that to backup my Obsidian notes. But I also use next cloud deck depending on the type of notes or list I’m making

I’ve been using it for almost a year now and it works great. I used to just use a spread sheet to track my bills paychecks and due dates but this made it much nicer

Lidarr might help, like other said you need to start by organizing your library first then look at hosting.

ok so if its being passed on to the GPU then that actually makes me think its that. I bought this GPU used from a buddy and was having issue’s with my wife’s machine playing GTA5, I thought the GPU just couldnt handle it but maybe it has an issue

For me it’s anything like excalidraw or something like Google sheets. They work fine until I change tabs and come back then it’s blank. But if I move the arrow keys or scroll wheel then every comes in and out of existence or stays on the screen even if I select another sheet until I close and reopen the site. But I never noticed this issue before moving to Linux so maybe it’s an issue on my machine

You can sideload newpipe on the TV directly and jellyfin usually. I never had that great experience with steam link so I ended up just running a long fiber hdmi and usb ethernet extender

Yeah essentials is the low tier business plan

I am using proton essentials plan it gets you ten custom emails that you can use with three custom domains.

So I use one email for my game servers so those services use that then I have another general use email for sending info like recently added plex content or alerts from my server then a few mix and match for random stuff.

Not the cheapest but now I’m also using their calendar which is nice. I don’t use any desktop clients though I prefer to keep as much stuff in the browser

I’ve had good luck getting refurb drives from serverpartdeals. I did get one or two wd red used from Amazon, one was fine and the other I had to return for a replacement

Haha the one I got was like 300 bucks off and when I plugged it in it had 0 hours on it so it was brand new. Been running fine for almost 3 years now. It cane with the warranty and free one year of their online service thing

That’s pretty cool!

Not sure what went wrong with next cloud but it might be worth figuring it out first. I do remember having to look through a few guides. I set up mariadb, redis, and collabora containers along with it for database performance and to be able to edit docs in the browser

So just stick with firefox?

Keep an eye on woot.com they have open box stuff all the time for decent discounts
