I just bought one to use as a Magic Mirror dashboard. I can't think of any other real use for them other than as dashboards.

I like the Volumio idea though. You can set up a Music Assistant container and get a whole home audio setup without having to run a bunch of speaker wire. At my old place I had an Apple TV airplay movie audio into the kitchen so you wouldn't miss any dialogue while you ran into the kitchen.

Edit: Really specific hypothetical. If they're powerful enough to run Kodi, and you have a travel homelab with Jellyfin/Plex, I wonder if they could serve as a travel streaming stick 🤔

I find Lenovo makes the best ones in terms of expandability. Full size PCI-e is crazy on their ThinkCentres

EasyOptOuts and Optery performed the best in CR's study. But doing the work yourself is more effective than all of them.

Al principió el artículo menciona mi pensar; que es mejor hacerlo uno mismo. Toma mas esfuerzo, pero si te importa, es lo único que no tiene efecto negativo.

If I just have pants/shorts:

• Front Left: Phone. This is what I mainly hold my phone in, and dictates where everything else goes
• Front Right: Slim bifold wallet and keys.
• Rear pockets: Nothing. I don't like the feeling of sitting on anything. It also might be needless anxiety, but I feel like I could be pick pocketed more easily if I had anything in my rear pockets.

If I'm wearing a sports coat, which isn't often, I'll put my phone in my right interior pocket, and my wallet and keys in my left interior pocket. Mostly since I can then reach in with my left hand to get my phone.

If I need to carry more items I'll use a small satchel or something. All of this sounds convoluted, but makes sense in my head. Also, I don't wear jeans, haven't for years. They're not very flattering from behind and they always manage to pull on my leg hairs somehow.

I've got a couple Hue bulbs connected through Zigbee2MQTT and haven't had any issues.

This is basically how I feel. I love physics...concepts. Relativity is really cool. Optics is really cool. Magnetism is really cool.

Sitting down to calculate the force a charged particle feels in an electric field if fired at a certain velocity? That sucks. It's so easy to make a mistake and a chore to do.

Also, to your point about naming conventions, it's an unfortunate side effect of always building on top of existing work. Why is integral symbol the way it is? Isaac Newton wrote an S next to his calculations (I think for "sum", but I could be wrong). A lot of math is really old. What was a good way of keeping track of math concepts 300 years ago? Idk, but that Riemann guy came up with a way to add an infinite amount of numbers.

Sure we could rename everything, but then all the textbooks written beforehand would be really confusing.

There's a youtuber that goes by the name Wolfgang's Channel. He's basically got a series on making on making efficient NAS's.

Basically, in terms of watts consumed, it's better to not have an HBA card installed since they can prevent the system from preventing lower C states when idle. Thus having a board with more SATA ports is better since you won't need an HBA card.

Here's a link to known power efficient setups.

If you still want to go the add in route, I think the consensus is that SATA add in cards aren't as reliable as HBA cards, but HBA cards are more power hungry. Here's a link to HBA add in cards' power consumption.

Also, if you have HDDs, 5400 rpm drives consume less power than 7200 rpm drives.

At a certain point you're spending more money than you save in your power bill, but I can't deny that its fun making your build as efficient as possible.

Another added bonus is that the battery isn't hard to replace. Mine stopped turning on and I decided to replace the battery as quick speculative fix. Worked like a charm. Sadly the headband is worse for wear and isn't easily replaced.

Probably your lemmy instance censoring a word contained within what was written.

Firstly, it doesn't have to be all at once, do it in stages.

Also, when I switched I used it as an opportunity to organize my emails, so I made a finances tag, a medical tag, etc. I would make a tag and move over all the emails that fit that tag, eventually I had moved everything over. It also ended up being a good chance to close accounts I hadn't used before.

The amount of gatekeeping I'm seeing here is insane

I tried both and for some reason Baikal just played nicer. I'm sure either is fine though.

Nextcloud was too bulky for my needs.
