  • I have upgraded my GPU on my desktop without upgrading anything else. Leaving me with a spare GPU and no other hardware.

    Self hosting, I have also pulled GPUs out of systems to keep the power requirements down. As most of the time onboard GPUs are just fine for Self hosting applications. Also leaving me with a spare GPU.

    However over the years GPUs have because more popular for processing there are more arguments to keep the GPU in a home server. So I can see how this is going away.








  • Realistically I don’t see how it would ever not be managed by a corporation. Your average person doesn’t know how and doesn’t want to manage their own messaging system. They are just going to offload that responsibility to a corporation to do it for them. We are just going to have exactly the same system we have now. Just called some else besides email.

    I wish there was a better solution but I am not seeing a way that doesn’t just end up the same as email.










  • It is getting better but there are still alot of things you just can’t do on Linux.

    Like for my work we have alot of specialized software that is only for Windows. Sure I might be able to get it working under Linux but what do you think will happen if I need get software Support for this software? They will say i am using an unsupported OS and hang up.

    And for my home, there is so many anti cheat software that refuses to work on Linux or potentially get you banned.

    Linux has come a very long way in the last 5 years but there is still alot of situations the abusive relationship is your only option.


  • Yes but it has limitations/risks that could be a deal killer depending on your use case.

    When a file changes externally, Nextcloud doesn’t know about the the changes until it looks at the file. It only looks when a user access that location within Nextcloud or during a automatic file scan.

    The only time I have had issues with it is using a Nextcloud desktop client, as files are cached locally on the desktop and the client doesn’t live query the server when you view the files locally.

    Changes made externally of Nextcloud won’t get updated on desktop clients until Nextcloud looks at the file an realizes a change happened.

    This can be very annoying but also dangerous as you are at risk of editing an outdated file. For example if you edit a file via SMB and then edit the same file again on a desktop clients. The desktop clients won’t have the new file with the B changes. So you risk overwriteing the files with an old version.
