Every now and then I will jump back into whatever flavor of MUD seems interesting for a few weeks. They’re so much fun but like you say, nobody plays them.

Your phone’s hotspot likely doesn’t create a local network. The other problem is that Tailscale works by creating a secure tunnel between your client and your PC. Local devices won’t have access to this secure tunnel. You need to setup Tailscale directly on the client device you want to connect to your PC from for it to work.

One of the prettiest fediverse apps I’ve seen. Nice work!

Thanks! I’ll stick to the RAID 1 option then. I was looking at S3 Glacier for backup when it comes to that. But I really don’t want to worry about it too much until I’ve really got something going that I plan to use longer term.

I see the appeal with unRAID! My drives are pretty straight forward though I pretty much only plan to use the 2 4TB drives. Will probably skip the RAID for now (it’s not going to store anything SUPER important) and just use it as a hobby test server.

Ollama of course! Looks like the 1080s should be able to handle most 7B models. Exciting! Thanks for the help and suggestions!

Ooh this is a nice list of apps! I like doing things the hard way so I’ll probably skip the Freedombox part but these app ideas have got me thinking…

Yeah an online instance would be a good place to start. Maybe a GoToSocial instance.

Pretty sure it has 2 HDD bays, so I was thinking I would do something similar to the Synology Hybrid RAID on a 4TB drive. On retrospect though this might be way too crippling of a move for a play server, so I might forgo the RAID idea.

The Linux Upskill Challenge looks perfect! I feel comfortable with about 40% of the table of contents. Should be a fun weekend of experimenting.

Thanks for the help!

I knew someone would link this to 3 Body. The book’s take on aliens vs humans is pretty realistic IMO.

This is a really awesome answer. Thanks for taking the time writing it all out.

I think changing out my detergent for something really scent free is a good first step.

Well that sucks I really do like the smell. But maybe I’m just crazy.

You caught me

I don’t usually recognize Lemmy users but I’ve run into your posts a lot these last few days. I assumed you were a bot but from interactions like these it’s clear you mean well. Love to see Lemmy growing from power users like yourself!

This is a great list! Thanks for sharing!

I had a similar relationship with my father. He was an alcoholic. These days I don’t have much of a relationship with him. I recognize that he’s a better person now that he’s older, but I don’t really see him as “dad”. Just “father”.

My mom sometimes asks if I will regret not spending more time with him. Honestly, I’m not sure I would. I don’t have many fond memories with him at all. It’s weird saying this knowing that I have a father who loves me in his own way when others might not have one at all.

This is a really thoughtful and educational answer. I learned a lot from this. Thank you!

That’s what I already do. Which got me thinking about why apps are so bad at this considering they can do the same thing.

Sounds like the system is just stuck on old tech. If I can tell that rain will reach my area from a precipitation radar map then I’m fairly certain an ML based system can do this too.

I suppose there’s just no money in it.

This is exactly what I’m looking for! I also often check the weather to get a gauge on whether it’s clear to walk my dogs. 2-3 hours ahead is perfect.

Gotcha. All I can add is a vote for Plausible. It’s great!
