Yes the real money is in corporations, of course. And large companies won’t change anytime soon.

But let’s face it, as i was refering on a individual level, is any of your non tech savy family and friends install an other OS other over Windows?

I find that rather hard to believe.

People are creatures of habit.

No, not me.

I didn’t even mentioned Linux, did I? Can be MacOS or FreeBSD.

I guess you assumed I did since its the default answer to suggest Linux as Windows is a shitshow. However, I realize that ordinary people won’t change a thing. They will just use the OS that came installed with the computer. That’s (windows) 99 % of all computers sold.

And yes, I do use Linux but I’m tech savy and a realist about the Windows situation.

Yeah. People just don’t make the effort to “learn a new OS”.

They get crazy if the icons are in some other place than they are used to on Windows.

Let’s see the facts here ppl.

Personally I use gonic with the Subsonic API, and Ultrasonic on Android.

Gonic is a super lightweight subsonic API server with a very basic static stats “dashboard”. As so, it’s great for lower end devices. Only problem is that it sometimes fails to pick up the album art is some cases, if that don’t disturb you, then it’s great.

Airsonic (abandonedware) is the best subsonic server in my option. It displays all album arts correctly and is folder based which works much better than Navidrome’s Id tag reader, which is a dumpster fire.

Airsonic is on the heavier side on ram usage, around 1GB. Can probably run just fine on 500mb. Probably around what Jellyfin uses.

Ultrasonic is a great android app. It is just not updated for quite some time now.

I’m also running Jellyfin and I’ll experiment with Finamp. Let’s see if it takes the number one spot from Ultrasonic :)

Edit: Ultrasonic’s strong point is also the caching of music for offline listening. Not sure if Finamp has the capability.

Edit2: Yes, it can cache music.

Yeah, Tumbleweed has a good track record with NVIDIA drivers in my experience. As with updates in general.

Although I still use X11 as Wayland still has graphical issues in some apps for me. Usually Flatpaks. That makes it unusable for me for the time being.

Edit: I have an older card (1050ti), so maybe I don’t get the latests drivers anymore?? On version 550.

Yes, Docker apps are more appropriate for servers and most apps are “made” to run 24/7 to serv the home or workplace.

They are very much worth the “work to setup” as they can be transfered/replicated to any system.

Flatpak and the alike are for running apps on a desktop/laptop.

That’s funny since Nextcloud is a bloated mess.

“Unreliable Backup” is probably the worse.

Wait, I have a better name. Duplicati!

Found a Swede in this joint! Cheers.

Yeah, this is a good recommendation.

Been using it for years for a phone with no Google account.

I’m really on the last page with Whoogle.

It’s a great app, been using it for privacy a long time now. All creds to the developers.

But as Google Search continues to get worse and has been for a while now, I’m going to start to selfhost Searx instead. I’m currently using a public instance.

Truth to be told, I think all search engines are getting worse. But with Searx at least you have more sources in one app.

Yeah, nowadays the only you might notice the difference between processors is in the camera. How fast it processes and how able it is to film in 4k (or not), and of course in games.

My Moto (midrange) phone is plenty fast for daily task while the battery last at least for 2 days with my usecase. But it can’t film in 4k (I couldn’t care less), because of the limitations of the CPU. I do value battery life though and don’t game on it.

However, as the OS is bareboned with little bloatware, its very snappy. Moto phones are also a safe bet if you want a phone that just works all the time, every time, things like the fingerprint scanner.

Oh, and did I mention it cost half what a galaxy phone costs?

Shit!

I came here to say AI, which I’m not allowed to.

Correct you are sir.

Have they not heard of selfhosting?

I’m in the same boat.

Have the 3600 with a 1050ti (!), and its does a good job when I play the 2-3 games I like to play. 32gb for my apps and docker containers. Plenty.

I see no reason to upgrade.

It has always been like this for me. Sticked to a platform until it died and never upgraded (OK ram maybe) until I was forced to.

What is 16kb?

Cromite.

Snappier than anything else (With real dark mode, adblocker, anti fingerprint and great security).

Never could get used to Firefox on mobile how hard I try.

On Desktop, it’s Linux with Librewolf.

Try Cromite.

Good dark mode on webpages. Secure (chrome based) and privacy hardened with adblocker and anti- fingerprint.

No Google crap in it.

Nice!

Thanks for the info.

Been eying one for quite a while. I have read that the build quality is good too. Along with a good cooling solution.

I’m actually thinking of using it as a replacement for my desktop/gaming machine. I only play 1 or 2 games anyway. Nothing the 780m can’t handle with ease. Also planning on 24/7 operation due to the much lower wattage.

I bought a minisforum um890 recently.

How do you like it? I’m planning of buying one and putting Proxmox on it.
