With libvirt it is fairly easy yes. And you can also install a standalone web-gui like Cockpit or use the desktop app virt-manager over ssh to do it.

Proxmox adds a lot of complexity and a nice GUI. If you are fine with using the terminal, there is really not much benefit from Proxmox and the potential issues from the added complexity are IMHO not worth it. I am not a Proxmox expert though, so take this advise with a grain of salt 😅

Afaik it is a specific implementation issue in Lemmy that causes this. Instances in Australia had problems catching up with lemmy.world because of that.

The federation is mainly about issues / bug reports (the discussions and comments) and being able to make cross instance pull-requests and so on. So yes, it is mostly about communication.

We are talking about price relative to performace, not performance in general.

But the cost of the hardware is anyways not so relevant when the price difference of the software easily makes up the difference.

You still easily can with second hand components.

That period repeats every 3-5 years approximatly towards the end of a generation but before the new generation is announced.

Usually companies accept that you remove storage mediums before sending it in, as those might contain private data. And if that is ok, then there is no way for them to know that you installed Linux on those.

Hmm, good question. I don’t have a setup for that either, but I don’t think there is a built in function for that.

Your best bet is probably to find some tool that notifies you if new files get created in a directory, as AFAIK new snapshots are only created if they were successfully transferred.

Nextcloud is overkill for what you want.

If all you need is a shared calendar and a simple way to upload images, then this is a good option: https://github.com/tchapi/davis

Wifi is often a module in older laptops, and you could unplug that.

Otherwise, 10W is quite good for older hardware, I doubt you will get much below that.

Since most of the weight is water, I can already see people buying electric waste dryers 🤦

Pine64 tried that with their PineNote, which hardware wise seems excellent. But it ended up being so expensive that sales were abmyssal and subsequently there was also little developer take up and general community excitement to make something cool out of it on the software side.

Probably much cheaper and easier to get, while allowing for a reasonably large total screen size.

Too real for me 😥

Eh? I guess you have some strawman in mind of what Rossmann is being accused of. All I am saying is that he is constantly doing PR damage control for Eron Wolf, and that video is a clear example of that. It is not realistic to believe the shitty license happened accidentially… Eron Wolf intentionally wanted it to be like that and only had to walk it back when there was a massive community backlash.

Nice work. But the phone should be able to host quite a bit more, as it is actually quite fast.

For example: https://youtu.be/lCjy2CHP7zU

He also did several videos around licensing of FUTO that were very clearly damage control.

I don’t think Rossmann is a fascist himself, but he clearly got in bed with people that are fascist adjacent and is struggling to clearly distance himself from that, which is not exactly a good look for him and allows others to continue to misuse his relatively good reputation.

I never said the latter and how else would you describe him regularly doing YT videos partially walking back or trying to justify shitty things Eron Wolf has said or done?
