Main problem is, ram isn’t upgradable on recent Apple tech, and you’ll need ram for containers, if you’re gonna host it to the CPU limit, if not, then even more so, brand new intel n100 mini pc for 100-150$ is gonna do wonders for you in self hosting field, what I’m saying is, if your MAIN goal is self hosting, then Mac is not optimal, i mean, you can buy Mac mini for your daily tasks and intel n100 mini pc for pocket change you’ll have left after buying Mac, and host your projects on intel one while using Mac yourself



Basically, reflash spi chips and it’ll be gone, and to be infected by that, person gotta have physical access to hardware he hacks, and physical access is root access as always has been



Option b of course, rent cheapest vps, ionos.ca offers plans for 2$ per month, it’ll be cheaper than Google fiber, you can also use sshuttle https://github.com/sshuttle/sshuttle on your openwrt router and connect everything to it be it by cable or wireless, then Nintendo gaming will also have that port forwarding because your whole traffic is going to go through vps


Problem is, new i7/i9 top out at 24 pcie lanes so old xeons is still bang for the buck in homelab sector


Mining boards give about 1-2 pci lanes per gpu because there’s a lot of gpus, also look up Nvidia mining gpus, they restricted to pcie x1 or/and x4 even if you put them into x16 slot


Chinese mining motherboard with any xeon cpu (because of abundance of PCI lanes in cpu) and 12x16gb nvidia p100 and nvlink bridges (p40 gives 24gb of vram but doesn’t have nvlink capabilities and slower gddr5 memory, p100 have hbm memory on the contrary which is good for llm) and 8x64gb ddr4 ecc ram, if you buy gpus from ebay and other components such as motherboard, CPU, ram, and ssd from AliExpress it comes quite cheap


Self hosted GitHub, if i say in layman terms


Do they accept crypto payments? If they do, I’d rent some without second thought


Hi-end Xiaomi router, they have WiFi ax and enough ram and support open wrt so you can host your things on it, better yet, do DIY router on orange pi board, there’s tutorials you can follow



I download most files and .iso included with aria2c console app, it’s way faster than torrenting and aria2c also supports torrent too




Testdisk and photorec, use them, they even saved my data from bricked Chinese usb flash drive, so it’ll save yours unless you wrote dd if /dev/zero of /*/microsd. Also here’s the tip, don’t attempt to rebuild partition firstly, first step try to copy all files from microsd to another device with these programs and after that try other ways, edit: I’ve seen from your other comments that your data already was overwritten, my condolences




Exactly, ai only speeds up your coding, quality still depends on you



With piracy mindset, i got an idea, with hacked ps5 and their subscription, you can rip games from their service with hen, download once, then activate hen and rip with ftp, that’s it, if Xbox were hacked then gamepass, ea+, ubisoft subscription, could be ripped in seconds just like that



If it came from sony than sony fans gonna make it norm for everyone





Use open source youtube third party apps and everything will be good, For pc freetube, For tv smarttube next, For android newpipe, libretube, clipious, revanced, There’s also some for ios, but my last iphone was iphone 5s so i don’t know how is it now


Probably personal archive of games/movies/porn and backups, I’d do this if i got this honestly, and i think most of us would do the same, slap some block based deduplication and zstd compression and enjoy


https://github.com/MHSanaei/3x-ui plus foxyproxy or Proxy SwitchyOmega if you’re using chromiums


Same with my arch install, didn’t touched it for 2 months even though laptop was turned off it decided to die when i launched it and run pacman -syu


Upgrade ram to the max and set zram and everything will be good to go


Look up used xeon 1245v1 or v2 or v3 or v4 or v5 they sold for cheap on AliExpress also motherboard for them could be bought there too sometimes they sell combo motherboard and CPU, these cpus i mentioned have ecc and quick sync support and cheap as well


Linwood butterfly on f-droid and any app i can type text into


That c lang is simplified assembler and it’s not going to leave cause there no better language to support obscure hardware, i mean, nobody gonna write compilers for obscure architectures to rust or c# because everyone have better things to do, but my idea is, there are alot of obscure hardware out there, actively used even now, and i insist that we should not pollute the world but repurpose every tech there is, and c lang have compilers for almost all existing architectures if not all, also there are alot of manuals how to write compilers to c lang so in case you slap some asic together you can make your own compiler and support your hardware, and modern memory safe languages yet to acquire this feature and that is if they plan to do this at all and not abandon obscure hardware (also I agree with you and upvoted your comments but addition was needed)


Obscure hardware still gotta be supported somehow


I mean… It’s been like that through all humanity history, if big guy says black is white, then black is white it is, remember school if you want to examples of that, also another examples can be found in politics of all countries throughout history


Wait for real? I didn’t encountered encrypted dvd in my whole life but was ripping them since 2008, maybe it’s because i live in 3rd world country



Remember mangarock? When mangadex was buggy and relatively small, mangarock was site where you could read manga for free, now it’s the same as crunchyroll but for manga


I agree with you, i wanted raspberry pi for my EE practice in uni but it was way too expensive for what it gives and i bought raspberry pi pico 16mb type c for 2$ on sale, for those who want compact pc to tinker with it’s better to buy used mini pc because it’ll be much better bang for the buck
