Using the igpu might be problematic for transcoding if you need that. I'd recommend older intel / Asus NUCs if you want a mini PC. 3 year warranty, built for Enterprise, tall version has room for a 7mm tall sata SSD or HDD along with nvme m.2 SSD.

I think if you do Asus 12gen + they have another m.2 slot though it is the smaller one 2242. Doing all this you can upgrade it to 64GB RAM, 8TB m.2 2280, 8TB SATA SSSD, and 1TB M.2 2242. In homelab especially with mini PCs the limit is usually RAM / storage rather than CPU.

I got 4 11th gen with 64 GB RAM each and 32TB of SSD storage. I recommend avoiding QLC SSD as much as possible. Aim for TLC , MLC, or SLC. Higher storage capacity tends to be QLC or TLC, QLC has shortest endurance and slowest speeds.

I try to protect it but apparently I got a report that my social got stolen recently. Health insurance sucks, we keep getting massive increase in costs, then swap providers, then my data is stored in more and more systems waiting to be breached.

With a password manager I'd argue its better but supports still not all there yet. I am waiting on bitwarden right now to support mull, basically its blacklisted, but it was added in the last 2 weeks so now its a waiting game.

I think something like this would do? You can search the list of supported devices there. Search by exposes power.

Forgejo supports a ton of repos including docker / OCI images.

I just swapped to mull today. Fennec is only on fdroid or build it yourself. Fdroid updates take a week for official repo. Mull can get faster updates through DivestOS repo. Firefox just had a huge 0day and fennec is currently vulnerable.

Yeah works good until its under load which federation does have. Matrix and Lemmy both got like 20GB of RAM dedicated to the database on my servers.

There are postgres settings to reduce disk writes. There's a max size and a timeout to write to disk. By default these values are on the lower end I believe.

I want them to write an actual KOSA bill that would introduce privacy laws and would prevent this stuff. But nah it's more like Kill Online Safety Act and do nothing about the real problems.

NUCs are where to go. Intel chips good for transcoding and 3 year warranty. Had 1 die out of 3 die in 4 months and got a full replacement. Got another so I'm running 4 now and been about a year. Running tons of stuff and measured power to about $2.5/mo/pc.

Ah yeah it sucks to host on your actual computer, especially if you are using the laptop portably. I just wanted to point out storage isn't too bad if setup right. Best of luck finding a good host for your needs!

Curious here how is storage an issue? Lemmy is 90% text and if you do the proxy for pictures its like 10%. If you use pictures from elsewhere and don't use pictures it's all text. I have had lemmy hosted for over a year now and it's using under 35GB. I have a not that subscribes to top posts on larger instances so I should have a lot of communities loaded.

Edit: oh yeah Pictrs integrates with S3 api now so you can offload image storage to cloud for pennies.
