I run 3900X with a 40Gbit fiber, packed with HDDs and nvmes. The box fluctuates around 90-110W use.

when you said that Nextcloud might not meet your needs, was your concern specifically the server-side data format?

I'd prefer them as plain files. Technically it doesn’t matter much to me if it's a database, if I have to spin up an S3-compatible API, or if I need to slice up a zvol for it, but I just prefer the files because then I can do zfs snapshots (in which I trust) and backup with restic (in which I trust)

That gives me hope, thanks. I’ll try it, then.

Lots of files. I'd offload old projects that I worked on with synology drive so they aren’t stored locally, only remotely (but are easily accessible).

It was my first introduction to the type-length-value concept over the network, seemed radically different from the text only IRC protocol that I knew back then. I remember how fun it was to write an elegant parser for the ICQ messaging, and how I ended up on somewhat a DOM model where I converted the on-wire format into series of nested objects. Not the most efficient idea, but it was neat.

Your requirements sound a lot like Chrome Remote Desktop and it's pretty trivial to install, which might be a handy thing for family members that aren’t tech-savvy.

yeah, I thought I deleted it immediately but the deletes federate in weird ways. was a client bug.

The free news app was, sadly, never free for all, and missed in a bunch of regions.

While you could practically install macOS on ipads it'd work no better than windows used to work on tablets (it got a bit better nowadays). macOS is just not designed for touch input and would be a hideously subpar product. Can you imagine trying to use your fingers with the blender UI at 1x scale?

There is a toolset to easily get metal mac apps on iPad, though. I actually looked into what'd it take to port bender to iPad previously, and metal is the least of all problems. Blender is just a notoriously complicated piece of software.

They actually had a couple seconds of the new mobile zbrush running on it. Blender natively supports metal nowadays (thanks to apple), so making it work is on the blender team. Sounds like a lot of work, though.

I don’t like helm, so I use nix to maintain my fediverse deployments in kubernetes. Typically that'd just autoupdate itself to new releases, but for lemmy specifically I upgrade by hand nowadays since one release some time ago broke my deployment and its schema change was incompatible with the automated rollback.

My setup is a combination of https://github.com/farcaller/nixdockertag (auto-updated docker imagesfor things where I fully own the deployments) and https://github.com/farcaller/nixhelm (for helm charts that I either consume verbatim PR have local patches on). Both just auto update nightly thanks to github.
