Yeah Linus tech tios has made numerous videos about heating rooms or pools with stuff in his server racks. I think with a lot of heat produced like that the added compelxity is worthwhile especially if the person is somewhat knowledgeable, heck, I see more people going the server rack way more now that self hosting and other open source things are becoming a little more common, at least as far as online people goes.

I have a similar question that I wonder if anyone can help with. So I’m not overly familiar with self hosting but I’d like to get into it more with simple things, I have a raspberry pi connected to a 3d printer for networked controls and I feel like I should be able to make the raspberry pi not be used just for that only. So like I’m thinking maybe I can run simple things along with it. Basically since the printer is noisy I don’t want all that to be on all the time but I’d like the raspberry pi to do oter things too. Maybe I should make a separate post for this haha, anyways thanks for listening. Oh forgot to add my question lol So basically I’m wondering if there’s a way that power on lan or something may be useful here

Thats a very good point and makes me think about how funny it is that we are collecting energy through various forms of convoluted systems…I wonder if we can find some way to harness energy more directly. Thats probably more like renewable energy and nuclear though if I had to guess, which is also sorta convoluted because you putting effort into storage instead of ways of converting the energy into something useful.

I’m not waiting to be ecstatic about it before participating, I’m just doing other things in the meantime that I feel like are more woth my time.

Yeah i agree, im not taking it for granted just because im not interested in politics very much.

Thought id chime in. I’m in the same boat, it annoys me to no end to care about politics because I can’t help but see it as flawed all the time, I want the least to do with that as possible. I will wholly participate as much as I can if I was esctatic about the system we used, I haven’t looked too closely into other countries but will if I thought I wanted to change my residence. If leaving the US for a country with a different system was a viable option for me, that’s what I would do but I like family too much to go somewhere else.

I refuse to use anything that isnt arch based unless its a niche linux distribution for something specific because the arch user repository basically solves the biggest issue for newbies which is getting a grasp of packages for software. it has any of the common software and if you do need to build something from a github repo, that is ofc easy enough on any distro. I’m not the most technically inclined with linux and I use a chatgpt got thingy called code copilot in their search thing and I can use it to solve even really niche problems I have like a USB DAC not being recognized because it doesn’t have the correct read/write permissions. most of the time I just ask basic things like how to get whatever github repo working and it helps me troubleshoot if I run into weird issues. I even got it to help me set up neo-matrix to run in alacrity terminal on bootup, it was a nice introduction to scripting and autostart and stuff when it helped me, so now I have a little bit better grasp on how that all works out.

came here to spread the good word of endeavor os

with the help of chatgpt, this Linux noob is able to use an arch based system no problem! I even get to use better versions of every software I’ve used in the past!

thanks for the recommendation, gonna give it a spin

relatable haha

interesting

lmao

I havent used Lemmy much and only made a reddit account like a year ago after reading reddit posts for many years on and off but I alresy feel like this is the case on Lemmy.

what’s this mean?

I was hoping to one day see someone make a comment like this lmao

that it would be haha maybe this will spark someone to actually do that 0.0

I’m sometimes a little jelly about those that got to experience that era of the internet. I was born right on 2k and I still grew up feeling a little bit of that very briefly as a kid but not to any major degree.

sounds like many would love to see your podcast! myself included
