In my experience using AI for that replaces legthy documentation searches with reading lengthy AI output that turns out to be full of halucinations. Net time saved usually negative.

There are ways to install Linux on many Macs. https://asahilinux.org/ for example.

As others have mentioned there are ssh keys and generally you can and should of course use a password manager.

However there is IMHO a huge blindspot of people using only SSH keys to long in, and that is that your day-to-day dev PC is actually more likely to be compromised in some way than the server that only runs specific, relatively well defined applications and overall just has less attack surface. And the ssh keys on your dev PC are really not very securely stored and thus quite easily compromised.

Hardware keys are of course a better solution, but I would personally recommend to use a 2FA solution that prevents access even when one factor (ssh keys or passwords) is compromised.

What makes you think Movim is a “hosted service”? You can easily self-host it and many people do: https://github.com/movim/movim

The developers of Movim are also hosting a public instance, yes, but the official on-boarding page lists it as only one among many others. A bit like how the Lemmy devs also host an instance.

Revolt/Stout on the other hand is rather a “hosted service”, as they are openly discouraging people to self-host it and make it intentionally harder to do so.

Ovh should work.

You could also try https://movim.eu/

It is XMPP based and supports a/v group calls and screen sharing. Voice channels like Discord are planned.

I agree that ZFS is a solid choice for that, but so it btrfs, which has basically all of the important features of ZFS, but is significantly easier to use and built into the Kernel.

Leaving RAM cache to be managed by the kernel has some benefits, especially on low end devices, which is what the article talks about.

Yeah, the typical uninformed FUD with anecdotes of btrfs failing them 15 years ago when they did something that was explicitly marked as experimental 🤦

For every person that complains about btrfs, there are 10 that have been using it since many years with absolutely no issues what so ever.

That depends on the usage, see: https://www.xda-developers.com/smr-hdds-are-fine-for-your-nas-until-you-try-to-resilver/

If you keep this issue in mind and avoid resilvering / balancing they can work just fine in a media storage NAS.

They use a lot less power too. For small home NAS they are really an often overlooked option.

This might be a good choice: https://libreboot.org/docs/install/x2e-n150.html

If you have a Wi-Fi router in your home you are technically already running a server. With OpenWRT even quite practically, although sadly most routers are slighly too underpowered to do much with them.

Taler isn’s a currency but a payment system. So yes, each token generating entity (exchange) would have their own token. There could be some sort of backend settling mechanism between exchanges (I think Taler is working on that), but basically the person receiving the token would have to redeem it with the same exchange that issued it. Legally it can’t be directly exchanged back to fiat money, but the exchange could issue a service contract with the person and pay them according to the tokens they hold.

There is no need for a central org. It could be many different ones all using the same Taler software.

Such a system could be easily set up with GNU Taler. I have been thinking about something like that for a while, and the main issue is the legal regulations for the organization that receives the real money. If you are not registered as a bank it is severely restricted where and how you can operate. The laws in Europe are basically ok if you want to have some temporary cashless payment system in a music festival or so, but something permanent and with more money involved is hard to do under the current rules.

Such a system could be set up relatively easily with GNU Taler. The problem is rather on the legal side for the organization that holds the funds and converts it to the tokens. Unless you are registered as a bank there are severe limitations on how much money you can hold and covert.

The Intel Core i7 2600K will be fast enough for most regular things, but it is quite power hungry, so not so great on your power bill. Also the Intel Quicksync in it is old and thus not very helpful for hardware transcoding videos in Jellyfin, meaning you would need to do most of that on the CPU, which is much slower.

24GB RAM is definitely sufficient for most things and the SSD storage as well, although you might want to add some redundancy to that at some point.

The Geforce is pretty useless for server tasks and the NVenc chip in it is also pretty old, so I would just remove it, or maybe ask the seller to remove it and sell separately.

As a start it is probably over-powered, but the price seems reasonable.
