I build from ewaste and keep things deliciously trashy looking.

Requiem for a dick


You laugh, but this is how Comcast dealt with me knowing it was them or 4g wireless internet.


The odds of having more than one viable ISP option in the US are slim. I live in a major metro, and it’s only been the past couple years I’ve had a second option. I was living comcastrated for the previous decades.


Don’t worry, I never subscribed in the first place. Yaaaarrrrrrr…


I would have loved to start younger. But we were poor and struggling. 2008 sucked.


I’ve been wanting to get matrix up for my family and friends to chat with my 6 year old on her tablet. I found nextcloud talk to do all the things I wanted with none of the hassle. My daughter is a ridiculous texter.
I had to hunt for it. Meta threads and activitypub. I remember a big hullabaloo about it a while back.
Hmm. My uneducated guess is maybe increased resources needed for federation? I’m sure lemmy.world is still growing at a steady clip. Are we federated with the meta thing?
Whatever you did is working. I have no more issues.
What is driving the increased demand for resources?


Your approach works too. Something like CasaOS answers OP’s question directly. I was thinking about how I started on this journey. I wanted to play with enterprise level tools at home on repurposed e-waste. So I started with proxmox. But I also came to the table with a couple decades of Linux experience under my belt.
Those scripts make it so easy. You can paste a command, accept defaults, watch some text scroll by and finish with instructions on how to access the tool you just installed.
My homelab is low power as well. I’m currently running zero VMs. Everything is done with LXCs. You can run a pi hole on 512 MB RAM.


My wife and I go through hot & cold spells. I think we have similar drives, but our timing doesn’t always match up. I’m more of a “harness the power of the morning wood” sort of fellow. She’s more of a “I want it right now but he’s still at work” sort of gal. We both talk a big game, but work, childcare and adulting conspire against us.


I used to be an a friend’s planning exchange for sharing Disney plus. But he booted me after I kept putting weird shit on his family calendar.
“Wash that thing on your back that’s hard to reach and puts out a putrid smell.”
“Soak feet in melted butter.”
I’ve been a premium member since then. I’ve been watching the battle with ad blockers from the sidelines.
Who is winning that battle? This will inform my next move.


Step 1: Install proxmox
Step 2: run the post install script here, disable anything enterprise, test or related to high availability.
Step 3: check out the other scripts on the link. I suggest starting with a pi hole and experimenting from there.


I’m a regular ass taxpayer trying to feed my family. I do what I can to protect privacy. I use a VPN, self host whatever I can, shit like that. I can’t stop driving to work so I can avoid cameras.
Is that you step brother?
I take RTFM more broadly to mean that I at least put in some effort to solve the problem myself. I googled, checked forum posts, read the man page, opened a config file or two and read some comments, etc. So I get offended when I get RTFM’d.
If you can’t reply without being a dick, then keep scrolling! Why participate in a forum where people with less experiece ask questions in the first place? That time could be better spent reading your shop vac manual or figuring out who you need to blow to save $700 on a dishwasher repair.
OP may be a master of RTFM, but they clearly didn’t read through that passage before posting. Blowing the technician is a good way to save money, but maybe not the best way to learn.
