Agreed - my use-case would be "24/7 server + gaming vm on demand with my monitor and peripherals connected to the gaming vm" and I doubt that is what most are going for.
The reason I mentioned my own build is because I consider putting all the components together to be a step up in complexity too, when compared to going pre-built. For someone who is comfortable with building their own PC I would definitely recommend doing that, the ability to tailor the hw to your needs is so much greater. :)
I really enjoyed the first one. I missed some side quests due to shooting npcs in the head when they gave me attitude, but it was worth it. It had some long sought freedom compared to most new open world sandbox rpgs.
Hairpin NAT/NAT Reflection can make the experience of visiting the WAN IP from the LAN a different one then if you do it from somewhere else. Or what is your what?
As long as you make yourself some aliases for your common ffmpeg commands including flags I'm sure it's gonna work out fine. Using something like OBS is gonna make it a lot easier of course.
I'm kinda the opposite. I love the information density of the lemmy ui and as a text first user I dislike auto expanding pictures with a vengeance. Now I don't really care what the default is as long as I can choose my poison.
Where did you find statistics on client use? I browse lemmy using firefox/mull whether it's on desktop, laptop, tablet or phone.
First off, check that it is also true when using a device outside the LAN. Easiest would be to check with your phone with wifi off. You probably won't get to the login.If you do then it's time to check firewall settings.
A DIY solution like your home server is great. I'm just adverse to recommending it to someone who need to ask such an open ended question here. A premade NAS is a lot more plug n play.
Personally I went with an ITX build where I run everything in a Debian KVM/qemu host, including my fedora workstation as a vm with vfio passthrough of a usb controller and the dgpu. It was a lot of fun setting it up, but nothing I'd recommend for someone needing advice for their first homelab.
I agree with your assessment of old servers, way too power hungry for what you get.
A simple way to ensure your selfhosting is easy to manage is to get a NAS for storage and then other device(s) for compute. For your current plans I think you'd get far with a Synology DS224+ (or DS423+ if you want more disk slots).Then when the NAS starts to be not enough you can add an extra device for compute (a mini pc or whatever you want) and let that device use the NAS as a storage.Oh and budget to buy at least one large USB Drive to use as a backup, even if your NAS runs a redundant RAID.
Right, I'm not accusing OP of faking his content. I'm stating the possibility of the original poster from linkedin spreading a lie for the sake of publicity.
I also tend to fall back to Clonezilla. I don't feel that the Rescuezilla GUI adds much.Regarding compatibility both the latest Rescuezilla (since September 2024) and Clonezilla (Since July 2024) uses partclone 0.3.32 so they should once again be compatible.https://github.com/rescuezilla/rescuezilla/releases
It gives you a webUI that you can use to check out logs and services (among other things) and makes it a lot easier to troubleshoot computer troubles where the machine starts but your GUI doesn't.

Even when trying to limit myself a Ryzen 5 7600, RX 7600 build with 1tb m.2 storage and 16gb ram, a non modular bronze 750w psu and a cheap case ends up outside your budget. (about $950 to buy over here). You could lower that by going for older AM4 components but then you lose most of the upgradability benefits.Personally I would save more before buying and increase the budget. You mention having a decent laptop, so use that one for some indie gaming while saving up.
