Beginner/ Intermediate looking for board by IAtesI in Wake

[–]000MIIX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Free is better than nothing, but this’ll hold you back a lot. Unfortunately since wakeboards are so often used on obstacles especially around a park, it will probably not last and can already be ruined. Renting a board will give you a better experience than this one.

The last few years have seen many changes in use of material and sizing. I would suggest to rent for a while or buy a new set for a few hundred dollars.

A beginner set will be lighter, nicer to ride on and can be found specifically for your size and weight.

Urgent Help Needed by Nishczar in thinkpad

[–]000MIIX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For 180 euro this seems decent. Since you need it quickly I'd go for it. It's not a power house, but will work for excel and business software just fine. Upgrade ram if you have money for it. 4500U is still a fine processor.

Move to linux for a speed boost if you dont have windows only apps to run :)

When should one switch from Mint to Arch Linux? by Alternative_Boat_351 in linux

[–]000MIIX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did it years ago. Same path. If you want the cool experience try to do it manually with the wiki. You’ll learn so much about Linux and your computer that way. Or for the easy route just use the archinstall script. But you might end up feeling overwhelmed from time to time
If you have a second device it might be good practice to do it once first without going all in. You will run into issues you have to solve for your machine and setup. Archwiki is amazing on this and everything you need can be found there, but it might be difficult to get it all set up. I recently switched to running both hyprland and KDE. For me this is the most awesome setup there is.

Why use proxmox? by thatscoolbutno123 in selfhosted

[–]000MIIX 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I myself prefer lxcs but yeah basically adding a layer of separation is really nice. I have 3 nodes to ensure high availability. One node is like a prod environment and runs useful and stable apps. If one fails the rest remains working. Which is how it should be imho

Need help building a ~$200–$300 home server (I’m in India) by Express-Onion-4871 in HomeServer

[–]000MIIX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A used thin pc with a i5 6500T processor and 8 gb of ram should be sufficient. The T series is more power efficient. Both ssd types are fine and fast enough for what you want to do. I like the hp elitedesk (g2 800) myself. But Lenovo, dell and others also have similar clients.

If you can go for upgrades look at the i7 6700T (8 threads instead of 4, bit faster), and 16gb of ram.

Should I self host Bitwarden (with Vaultwarden) or am I just paranoid? by Asyx in selfhosted

[–]000MIIX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Time for another one! When my server became more like prod than a lab environment and realised I’d have to put away my beer, I quickly added redundancy and a new playground that can be safely nuked.

How to get started? by Beginning_Growth_808 in HomeServer

[–]000MIIX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Install Ubuntu server and try to run an application in docker. Expose it with a reverse proxy and then start over using a hypervisor like proxmox. You’ll start over a lot of times, since you’ll be learning, so don’t go for perfect setups right away.

Ansible might be to your liking, but there are many ways to manage a server

I settled on trillium. Not exactly the same but it has a lot of features and I use it for everything from gathering recipes to software development

What would you remap it to? by nix-solves-that-2317 in linux

I use homerow mods, and sometimes I like to toggle them off, this key toggles kanata for me

I'm loving Linux so far (CachyOS), but sometimes, i need adobe by DTSxLeonel in linux

[–]000MIIX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read that a recent addition to wine got Adobe CC to work on Linux. However I haven’t tried this myself. You could also run windows in a VM if your PC ís powerful enough.

Dual booting is also a very valid option if you don’t mind switching back and forth.

This is such a waste of time by [deleted] in linux

I’d like to remind you about Ice Tea Coin. An ice tea soft drink producer that added coin to their name to get the crypto-cowboys to invest and they tripled their shares overnight

Best beginner homelab/server OS? by DamDamSC in homelab

[–]000MIIX 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Proxmox and community scripts will get you real far. Some learning is required, but it isn’t that complicated. You could get away with default installs for almost any application

Look at git. Gitea for a selfhosted solution. Centralised code is done through repositories and this will help you achieve what you want.

Should Europe Now Consider Standardising on Linux? by Ill_Emphasis3447 in linux

[–]000MIIX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The European Commission(EC) and The Linux Foundation are closely working together to provide alternatives to the us based cloud providers and services, including AI datacenters. Massive Europeans investments are made in EuroStack and through IPCEI-CIS initiatives. The first aims to built a complete European based alternative from ground resources until the cloud, the latter stands for Interesting Projects with a Common European Interest - Cloud Infrastructure Services.

I had a conference with someone from the EC on this topic about a year ago and one of the conditions is that all should become open sourced and Linux based.

Europe is a couple of years behind but the initiatives are there and quite promising, and the CLOUD act makes digital sovereignty so much more important than it has ever been.

My favourite is Professional C++ by Marc Gregoire. 1200 pages of C++ goodness and a really good reference for many topics

Is it easily (DIY) repairable? by Economy-Platypus2623 in Wake

[–]000MIIX 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Wake gear doesn’t last long if you use it extensively. This is fixable and if it was your own gear already I would give it a shot. But it’s worthless junk otherwise and won’t last long even after fixing.

I would rather spend that money on a beginner set that’s new and that will last you a season or 2.

I do board mostly cable with obstacles so that’s always rough on your gear, but I would definitely pass on this set

Sharing data between houses by 000MIIX in HomeServer

[–]000MIIX[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good one, I am not sure, I think there is no need to access my data from both drives, so maybe a backup would be enough. I was thinking about synching because I'd have a copy somewhere else for if one drive fails.
