Don’t get me wrong: You’re 100 % entitled to your preferences and your definition of a hobby.

It was just unusual for me to equate a hobby with putting effort and perseverance into something. For me a hobby is something you simply do for your enjoyment in your free time on a more or less regular basis.

But hey: Definitions differ.🤷

Since when is “mastering it” part of the definition of a hobby?

I get that but why is traveling not a hobby?

Whenever possible phrase a question in a way that can be answered in one word.

That’s a good one! I would also add: When asked a question, determine whether this question can be properly answered in one word. If possible do it!

This is particularly directed at my wife 💋

I’ve read that you’re trying for minimal resource overhead.

Is lighttpd still a thing? Back in the day I used it to deliver very simple static Http pages with minimal resource usage.

I found a docker image with like 4 mb size but being two years old I don’t know how well maintained lighttpd is these days.

Interesting. Do you know how Cosmos handles storage and especially RAID?

Although the mentioned tools are great I don’t know how your comment applies to OPs problem. They are asking for a tool to manage their server and not for a tool to automate their torrenting.

CasaOS is great for very simple (basic!) container management and easy creation of basic shares but it doesn’t offer any tools for RAID management and is only single user oriented so it doesn’t have any access control built in to it’s Samba shares. These features might come in the future though.

I don’t know Yunohost but I’d recommend you Openmediavault. It’s Debian based, offers tools for managing RAID, Docker, Shares, Users, , Access control Lists, Updates and much more.

It’s actually amazing and in active development.

No but with a shoehorn you can slip in and out of your shoes without tying the laces?

But that’s why shoehorns exist?

No, not this year but maybe last fall, early winter. The game itself was running fine but without DLC (which neede the launcher to work) was useless to me.

Maybe I have to give it another try but this experience was the worst possible advertisement for “gaming on Linux” 😐

This is simply not true. I recently tried Linux for gaming after several years because I read that Valve made some great progress. Installed Crusader Kings III and didn’t get Paradox Launcher to run which is necessary for any DLC.

This was literally the first game I installed from my huge library and it simpl didn’t work so I had to do two hours of research, trial and error and reading error logs to conclude that I wasn’t able to solve this problem.

This is the exact reason why I use Windows for gaming. It simply works 99 % of the time. And I don’t have the time to troubleshoot my games all the time.

If you happen to be in Germany try Gustavo Gusto frozen pizza.

I run Jellyfin on a RPi 4. It works for me, but only because I use codecs (h264/265 for video, AAC for audio) that are definitely supported on my players (NVidia Shield TV and android phones). This leads to Jellyfin not touching the files and just providing them to the player. As soon as any codec doesn’t fit my client (for example OPUS audio) Jellyfin starts re-encoding the audio and remuxing the stream and the stream just fails.

So yes: RPi4 is generally not able to run Jellyfin unless you have a very specific setup.

What you described from your previous workplace sounds amazing, but you must’ve used phase cancellation too, didn’t you?

How is this so much different from what you’ve used back then?

This is hilarious! What a beautiful, pointless discussion! I love it! 🤣

Because none of those (except hydro and geothermal, but those are both extremely location dependent) will deal with the baseload power generation we need.

Is this the problem though? I mean: The sun is shining somewhere at all times and the wind is blowing somewhere at all times. Energy is being produced. The problem is either storing it (okay, batteries are expensive, I get it) or better: distributing it.

In Germany we have the problem that we are producing a surplus of wind energy in the north but currently we are not able to distribute the energy into the south of Germany which results in needing gas power plants in the south while at the same time shutting down wind generators in the north. This is obviously bad.

Upgrading our grid would solve this problem and would vastly reduce our need for gas energy. This is costly but is far from impossible.

3. The total volume of all nuclear waste ever produced by the entire globe is one of the smallest and easiest to manage compared to other forms, filling up less than a football field.

I didn’t fact check all of you points, but this at least is utter nonsense. In Germany alone we currently have 130.000 m³ of nuclear waste that are stored in temporary storages. We haven’t found a permanent storage yet. 130.000 m³ is equivalent to a 360 m x 360 m square assuming it’s a meter in height. This is certainly more than a football field and this is Germany only.

We estimate that we have about 300.000 m³ nuclear waste until 2080 because of the ongoing deconstruction of old nuclear power plants… And still we have no idea how to store the waste savely and permanently.

They’re bike-shedding and blocking a major stepping stone to a coal, petrol and gas free future for the sake of idealism.

I really don’t get this “nuclear as stepping stone” argument. Nuclear power plants take up to ten years to build. Also (at least here in Germany) nuclear power was expensive as hell and was heavily subsidized.

We have technology to replace coal and gas: Wind, solar, geothermal, etc. Why bother with nuclear and the waste we can’t store properly…?

Lego only or are you open for alternative building bricks like CADA or bluebrixx?

I found that there are nice alternatives with attractive prices. But still an expensive hobby.
