ohlaph , to selfhosted in Server Monitoring software recommendations

I would use OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, and Grafana…

mumblerfish ,

Which parts are OpenTelemetry for? Is Prometheus Agent, Prometheus Server and Grafana not enough?

ohlaph ,

I like it because I use it for MELT in general. Prometheus generally does metrics and if you want to include logs, traces and events, it becomes more cumbersome. With the Otel collector, I can just update my collector configuration to point to the various services.

I’m not saying OP can’t use what you suggested, just stating what I would use.

with a $1000 budget they might want to consider building a computer as desktops usually provide better performance/per cost rather than buying a $1000 laptop

  • desktop pcs can also be small if a small form-factor like ITX or mini-ITX is chosen (although mini-ITX can be pricey)

building is incredibly easy as there’s a plethora of tutorial vids online and you’re less likely to get screwed over by an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) or retailer

  • diy vs. buying a pre-built

the fediverse here also has an active community for support !buildapc

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !buildapc

The one caveat to building is if you build a PC and a single component is faulty, you are now responsible for determining which component is to get the RMA done. That can be a big hassle. One time for me it was actually two different components that needed to be replaced by the manufacturers, and that was a pain to figure out.

recursive_recursion , (edited )
@recursive_recursion@programming.dev avatar

that is definitely true however the added benefit is typically a longer warranty range as buying a laptop would typically mean that all components would be sold under a single flat warranty cycle/deadline

plus even if your computer is borked, you can still take it into a microcenter, memoryexpress, brick-and-mortor retailer to have their technicians figure it out the problem for a cost

I often have these time vs cost tradeoff discussions with my customers after they’ve been informed on the basics

Desktops usually don’t have a focus on efficiency, which is important in a server.

recursive_recursion , (edited )
@recursive_recursion@programming.dev avatar

that is true but for beginners with a $1000 budget who ask about buying laptops to host services

  • I’d usually steer towards pc building as buying a laptop would usually be the worst of all options (which brings me great pain for my customers)
    • and building an actual server can be costly unless you’re buying easily accessible second -hand/used components

one thing I forgot to mention is that it also heavily depends on an individual’s use cases, restrictions, and preferences

conciselyverbose , to selfhosted in Good laptop to use as Owncast server?

Is he planning to also use the laptop as a laptop?

If not, there are small form factor PCs (especially if you’re willing to buy used business stuff) that don’t take up a lot of space that can be good options. Laptops have some features that are kind of nice on a server as well (the battery becomes a backup against power outages and you don’t need to remote access or plug stuff in to use it because it has a built in display and keyboard), but I don’t think they’re so nice that it’s usually worth buying a laptop just for that purpose. It’s more a reason that repurposing an old one makes sense. If you’re willing to pay the premium a new laptop adds, you can get some pretty low profile units.

Don_Dickle , to nostupidquestions in Why are stories that take place in another world where everyone is white and Asian are normal, but it's "woke" if they are all black?

I used to read a lot of books. And while not coming straight out and say this person is white or whatever I got that the characters where just like me and I think that is what all authors want without saying it straight out. The purpose of a book or story is to let the reader decide. Woke just reminds me of the new Jim Crow laws cry.

Mrkawfee , to nostupidquestions in I am not promoting death or killing but are there countries where they are freely allowed to kill nazi's? Kind of like in some parts of Africa are allowed to kill poachers?

You can join the IDF and kill Gazans for sport evidently.

Don_Dickle OP ,

Ok again not promoting death. I just don’t get why we had a huge war against them and it seems like they are cropping back up in all aspects of society. When I learned about Africa killing poachers I was at first like WTF then thought they probably been having a war on them for a while. I am not justfying killing innocent civis but if I see a Nazi or the kkk beating the shit out of a race they do not like am I ok just to shoot them on sight even if I am not in danger and protecting the victim?

howrar ,

This scenario is very different from what I understood from your OP. I’m pretty sure that in the majority of the world, this would be legal. It’s what we call justifiable homicide.

JASN_DE , to selfhosted in Good laptop to use as Owncast server?

Ideally he’s needing something great for video encoding, and Linux friendly to boot.

What’s the plan here, using the laptop for gaming and streaming, or only using the laptop as the streaming machine?

Buddy, if they won’t talk to you after you mentioned your toxic tulips, fear is not the reason.

just_another_person , (edited ) to selfhosted in FOSS Alternative to Chromecast?

There’s a litany of them, but the issue is more about what apps will connect to them reliably. The support on apps is really what you’re looking for, as a single app can support multiple streaming targets.

Since you’re talking about some pretty widely adopted apps, maybe look at an Airplay alternative as well, since there’s also a ton of those, and a lot of them are actively developed.

UnH1ng3d ,

Can you give some examples 😅

just_another_person ,

Well, I don’t understand your technical wants or needs, but you can Google or hit GitHub and find dozens pretty easily. Look into what Home Assistant is using these days as an easy starter list maybe. Also worth using Raspberry Pi as an included search term to find projects specifically geared for turning an RPi into a Chromecast or Airplay target.

Israel will always need Americans to die for their country

HK65 ,

My dude, look at the map, look at where Afghanistan is, then where Israel is. Then turn off your monitor and look deep into your own eyes and think.

Mrkawfee , (edited )

Netanyahu was shilling for the invasion of Iraq to Congress in 2002. He was quite happy to send Americans to die to rid Israel of one of its nemeses. Saddam Hussein, as a Baathist (a pan-Arab nationalism) was a supporter of Palestinian liberation and had fired scud missiles at Israel during the first Gulf War.

Netanyahu’s ultimate goal, however, is for the US to take out Iran.

Part of my concern is the email has part of an uncommon spelling of name + some numbers. And that it started all of a sudden, every day. The email is several years old and only now it’s begun happening every day.

I’ve seen Breaking Bad mentioned. If you enjoy that, check out Your Honor. It’s another drama series starring Bryan Cranston.

EABOD25 , (edited ) to nostupidquestions in what is with child names like Aiden, Braiden etc?

Aiden is tradition Gaelic and it means “fire”. Caiden is also Gaelic meaning “battle” Braiden is Gaelic meaning “salmon” Jayden is Hebrew for “God will judge” Hayden is old English meaning “hedged valley”

BJHanssen ,
@BJHanssen@lemmy.world avatar

So I’m guessing it’s a combination of dun/den/tun etc being a common suffix in a lot of hustorical languages, and ‘ei’ being an extremely common diphthong worldwide just… leading to a lot of similar-sounding names that also converge in spelling in modern English?

JackGreenEarth ,

I’d like to see your source for those. I don’t know Gaelic so I can’t fact check those ones, but I do know a bit of Hebrew, and names that mean ‘God X’ usually end in el, not en. Also, Hebrew doesn’t have an English J sound, it has the IPA J sound though, or English Y sound. The Hebrew word for judge is ‘shofet’.

lath ,

Probably taken from this.

The name is probably a modern invention, formed by blending the “Jay” sound from the 1970s-popular name Jason with the “den” sound from names like Braden, Hayden, Jordan and Zayden.[1] The biblical name Jadon (or Yadon), Hebrew for “he will judge”, appears in the Bible in Nehemiah 3:7,[2] but it is unlikely to be the source of the modern name.[1]
