I get hung up on words too. However, my interests lie in the etymology thereof. Both words stem from the old Norse languages.

Besides a Generac, like @frongt@lemmy.zip is talking about, UPS aren’t for long term power supplies. I like my Generac whole house. We have ice storms in this area and I like the creature comforts that electricity brings with it. LOL Personally, I would host on a VPS. You might rummage around in Low End Box to find a suitable deal on which to host. Or host your chat server on something with low power draw like a NUC, but eventually, the UPS is going to drain.

First thing that popped into my mind:

🎵Let me take you down, 'cause I’m going to…Strawberry Fields. Nothing is real. And nothing to get hung about. Strawberry Fields forever🎵

Nice blog. Good read. Well written and entertaining. Bookmarked. Thank you for sharing.

cool

Semi related, you can check the validity of Caddy entries into the caddyfile:

• sudo caddy fmt --overwrite /etc/caddy/Caddyfile
• caddy validate --config /etc/caddy/Caddyfile

Where /etc/caddy/Caddyfile points to your caddyfile.

Curious what this chart is generated with

loudness etc

What fan noise? A benefit of being clinically deaf.

Don’t let 'em give you shit about your ponytail bro.

Tough crowd. I used Yunohost back in the day. I thought it was pretty good. Great for someone who is just starting out. It has evolved, and I think the newest version boasts the largest app catalog in it’s class.

+1 For Calibre Web. I do not have an ereader device, but I do like having my collection on the server. I do a ton of reading since I couldn’t tell you the last thing I watched on TV…it’s probably be well over a decade. But reading, that’s where it’s at for me. I’m not into fiction or novels but rather Technology, History, that kind of stuff. In the evening, I have a small NUC running Mint and a bluetooth portable screen. Works out pretty well for me.

it may be “focused” on audio books, but works really well for everything

Huh…didn’t know that. It has a great looking UI.

Released in 2012 (Product Spec). It certainly has potential, but as you say, it will consume more power than something more modern. There are things you can do to tame the beast. You might even adopt something that I’ve been doing, and that is shutting down the server before I retire for the evening. I am the only user, so it’s just sitting there eating up electricity while I sleep. I also have no midnight, mass Linux ISOs downloading, so there’s that. Good news tho, RAM will be pretty cheap.

I went and looked it up yesterday. The protocol itself seems very fascinating, and the fact that there is a handful of governments that have adopted the Matrix protocol seems huge. I’ve always thought it was a chat platform and that’s not really my bag, so I never investigated. Hell, I don’t even FaceTime anyone except my lady friend, but for those who do use that channel of communications, it seems like it would be the ticket.

So, for the clueless (me), what is Matrix. I hear people talk about it. Is it a chat platform, forum platform like Lemmy, or other. Might as well ask the stupid questions.

Could be something everyone is blocking in their browsers. I know I use arkenfox. No joy with LibreWolf or Waterfox. I did pull it up in Opera, and it worked ok. I didn’t browse any further than the front page. I only use Opera for paying bills as Firefox, LibreWolf, and Waterfox are set up to block a lot of excess crap, and my utilities love their bullshit webpage candy.

Nice job dude!

Growing up we had dialup. Around 2009 we got 1.5mbps down, something like 300kbps up

Ahhh, the ‘good old days’. Now days I have a business account with Spectrum. 1 gbps down/50 mbps up which is great for uploading and downloading large architectural drawings, but otherwise, it seems excessive.

Dozzle is cool! I need to upgrade I see.

An old school BBS like we used to do on dialup. Personally, Anna’s Archive seems a bit ‘hot’ right now and not because of popularity with users.
