  • I have a single Raspberry Pi 3b as a local file/media server running Jellyfin. I’m also running BOINC and seeding torrents of various Linux distributions. External HDD for storage, plus a thumb drive for the local media and another for the torrents so it only has to spin up when someone’s actually using it.

    It’s not super-fast by any means, but it’s fast enough to listen to music over my LAN, which is the main thing I need it to do quickly. Though eventually I plan on setting up a better NAS on something with faster I/O.









  • I used names of fictional robots, androids and self-aware computers (though I avoided HAL for obvious reasons) for a long time. These days my wife and I usually go with an indirect reference to the function or hardware - Ex. a device named Anathema, or a Raspberry Pi server named Marie (as in Marie Callendar, a former local pie/restaurant chain). I had an expendable frankenputer for tinkering that I called RedShirt.

    Currently trying to come up with a name other than Chris for the PineTab 2.

    Edit to add: Places I’ve worked have used Roman emperors, drink brands, Simpsons characters, and of course basics like “IIS1” “MAIL4” “QA-3” and so on. Some would add numbers to the names sequentially, others would use the last octet of the IP address.










  • Makes sense.

    I’d also think that establishing relations, by itself, wouldn’t be considered a violation in this case. By that time the Horta already knew about the Federation presence and there was no way to isolate that knowledge. So the hearing would mainly focus on the initial contact (digging into Horta territory, destroying the eggs) as a possible violation, with a side question of whether the negotiations afterward were carried out in accordance with it. (Probably yes)

    So that leaves the miners’ initial incursion and determining whether it was resolved sufficiently (in this case, probably deferring to the Horta).



  • On my own hardware: At home I have a Raspberry Pi 4 running JellyFin as a local media server, also experimenting with PiHole. One of these days I’d like to pull my NextCloud server in-house.

    VPS: Nextcloud (including calendar, notes, contacts & RSS/Atom), GoToSocial, WordPress, Gemini, and personal website with a mix of home-grown parts and sections managed through Eleventy.

    I’ve also experimented with self-hosting Calckey , Snac2 and Mastodon, but Mastodon’s too heavy for a single user and Snac2 is lighter than I want to go with for now. I may try Calckey again at some point, though.

    Eventually I’d like to set up Wallabag and migrate from Pocket.
