Honestly I’m done with Google Photos, I mean I get that it was free and that I shouldn’t complain about that, but I already pay with my privacy, so why pay money and have my data abused everywhere I go?

I now have a home server (second hand mac mini m2) with PhotoPrism installed

I hate that kind of stuff, when I see this I wonder if they hash the password at all

I’ve tried them a long time ago, before moving to another OS because they had some features that VanillaOS was still developing. I’m going to give it another shot now that the stable v2 is out!

Found it! This was the irl pic we had it based on. The artist made it quite different but we felt it had the same vibe, so we kept it as it was!

Thanks! I dont know how I can upload the pic it was based on, but it was of us in the forest, similar place to this

Very interesting read, it showcases how big tech can grow more aware of the “threat” of the Fediverse and how they might act.

Finally someone that get’s it

Nice, cool to see more people have an arm Lemmy instance

Yeah makes sense! It probably doesn’t although I have no benchmarks to prove it, it just is enough for me. I know this much though: even if the x86 server had the same specs (ram, GHz) as the arm version it likely still draws more power

The server was a second hand server that has 32GB RAM and 2 i7 CPU’s, it was made in 2015 so quite old. The Odroid has only 8GB of RAM but for my purposes that’s enough, and given the power it saves it’s absolutely a bargain!

If I ever need this much memory again I can just temporarily spin up something more powerful, for all other 24/7 tasks I can keep up the efficient ARM server.

Yeah it’s mostly performance related. I have like 10 different websites running all at once, and while CPU and RAM aren’t 100% all the time, with a heavy load I don’t have enough free to do it

I wish the Pinebook Pro was updated cause I’d give that a shot. Or better, an ARM powered Framework laptop

I replaced my old Intel Core i7 HP ProLiant server with an Odroid M1 (ARM Based) and it consumes 2 watts compared to 72 that the Intel Server did.

The only thing I can’t do with it is my Minecraft server, it runs all else perfectly. Even the Lemmy instance of this account is powered by the same server! And what’s more it basically runs for free, as solar generates enough power for the server to consume, even when it’s cloudy.

Yes, I believe Intel should be afraid.

Hey lovely ethanol - thanks!!, I’ll let him know! He’s not on Lemmy (should I ask him to make an account? >~>)

Wow! So magical

Oh that’s cool! I think it’s very nice you can feel things you can’t normally feel irl.

That’s pretty cool, and I think that makes your fursona very personal and meaningful to you!

D-did you suceed in making your butt bigger? If so, I’d consider it a success!

I don’t know why Lemmy did that. I used the cross post function (which links to https://lemmy.emerald.show/post/204827). Do you know how to fix that?

And I wish everyone had dreams like this! It’s very enriching.

I actually like Flatpaks… I use dpkg/apt-get for system packages that cannot be installed in userspace, and flatpaks for desktop apps / games. Many distro’s have unified ways to update them anyway (at least VanillaOS has)
