Naa but you can do the same with suno.

Flash drives and periodic transfers.

Im thinking it might be Suno AI because of the silly things it does in the middle, not sure.

Htop or top

I have an old mac mini that was a server for a good 4-ish years.

The good:

1. They are pretty good at sticking in a closet and forgetting about them.
2. Specs are always on the decent side and some of the older models are easy to upgrade.
3. Power is ok. It sips power
4. It can run for years without issues. I still have two mac minis I used for CI/CD jobs, thin clients, etc…
5. Its a cheap mac. If you need mac for something, like building custom mac specific applications, then its a decent little machine.

The bad:

1. CPU is usually lacking compared to any computer of the same price range.
2. MAC OS. Its good at desktop but as a server, it just doesn’t have the same options/ease of use as a good linux box. You can get around that by dual booting, but its just another headache. Docker/VMs are also an option, but the RAM/CPU usage would take a hit.
3. The newer the model, the harder it is to upgrade.

I would use it as a specialty server if you have something you do automatically only macs can do. Or as a thin client/vm box.

I used to use it as a CI/CD box before github actions was a thing. If you happen to have one, sure set it up for fun. If you dont and are looking at buying one, I would suggest a cheap dell desktop or (depending on what you want to host) a pi 5 or thin client and throw linux on it.

The trick is to get to a job that runs itself or doesn’t care if your in or not.

Quick q what are you using to host your podcast site? I went and followed on Mastodon, since that works best for personal lists for me.

I like Linux and I like the idea of prepping (or sometimes making fun of it) so I think this should be good.

Love me some makertube.

Some services Ive been looking at:

• Cheapest seems to be namecheaps own offerings: https://www.namecheap.com/hosting/email/
• Proton mail seems to be good, but I would have to pay extra for the Thunderbird integration by the look of things.

I wish they didnt double down on snaps…

Whats some good IPTV channels?

I have one running on the equivalent of a pi. It works no problem. The biggest issue is the constant io and network traffic but it’s not terrible.

I wish there was a only poll once every x amount of time instead of the constant polling, but it’s a good solution. I use lemmy.world as the main account and the other account when I need to post under my real name with some projects I run. Plus it makes for a good development instance since I work on lemmy from time to time

Ah gotcha. I’m on cell so it just looks unformated text.

What did you use to do so?

They are a good bunch.

Yeah I would love to get off google. Good to know others are thinking the same.

I’ve done it once before with mailinabox. It worked for a while…then we moved.

Just seeing what my options are. Thanks!

Whats the best email service? I use Thunderbird for just about everything, but gmail has been getting on my nerves lately. I would love to selfhost, but my internet service provider blocks port 25…

Nice win XP mode. Looks cool.
