Yeah, I think this plus the desktop app might be a huge deal

I don’t think it’s actually been rolled out to the app yet. When I load up the app, I see the old voice feature, not the new mode.

Neat, the customization does help make it look a lot better than the defaults. I wonder why they didn’t just make this the new UI.

I did not know that, I’ll check out the other options, thanks!

Oops, yeah, I did!

I’ve been using LibreOffice as an MS Office replacement for a decade or so, although most of my documents are still on Google docs. The LibreOffice UI seems to have never really improved at all, and even the updating experience is annoying. I don’t understand how such a lucrative productivity app has no developer support behind it?

OpenOffice got me really excited, because that UI seems modern and polished. It’s really unfortunate that it’s mostly we lb based and apparently really slow.

So yeah, 100% agree with you. LibreOffice with the OpenOffice UI would be 🔥

The examples are really good! While not perfect, in really happy that thale model is not completely ignoring large parts of the prompt like most image generation models do.

Oh yeah, that’s the one! It’s a very powerful scene. Crazy that it came out in 2011, a lot of it seemed so prescient. I watched it soon after the pandemic started, I think Netflix featured it around that time for obvious reasons.

This scene feels really familiar, which movie is it from?

Yeah, that’s fair, I have an Odroid HC2 with an arm32 server which easily handles Plex atreaming, qB, *arrs, etc. I think it’s just nostalgic prejudice on my part! I don’t doubt that it’ll handle your workload just fine.

Better than having a potato as a CPU, I s’pose

These kinds of posts are very helpful, thanks!

The Celeron gave me pause, because I remember them from way back as being underpowered CPUs for cheaper laptops. Seems like they would drag down performance a bit on a new build, especially for CPU intensive media management? Unless the situation is different with newer Celerons and they’re much better for performance?

Interesting. Seems like it might be worth it for me to look into Ansible and perhaps even Proxmox on the new SFFPC I’m building as a media center for stability/reliability.

Thanks!

So in addition to docker containers, you use separate VMs for isolation? Or are you just referring to the docker containers themselves?

I have separate docker containers for different apps too, but no virtualization beyond that.

Noob question. What kind of apps are you (or other self-hosters) running in VMs? With containerized apps, it seems like VMs would be largely unnecessary, unless you need some particular device to be virtualized? Or am I misunderstanding?

That looks amazing! Unfortunately I think I might have limited my options by using a 3.5in HDD as the primary storage for my media server :/ looks like I’ll probably have to go one size bigger in terms of form factor.

The HC2 supports a full-sized 3.5in HDD.

Oh, I’d assumed the NUCs would fit a 3.5in HDD, I guess that rules them out.

Since my home server is a media server, it’s primary drive is an 8TB HDD :)

I haven’t looked into proxmox yet, so I wouldn’t rule it out yet. OMV is nice, but I found it a little limiting. I actually really like the idea of running a full linux distro with an actual desktop (so not just headless) on it instead of just using OMV as the primary interface. I like the idea of spending more time within actual linux so I can upgrade my linux-fu.

1L PCs look cool, I suppose I won’t be able to upgrade too much, but then again I’m unlikely to need to anytime soon. The form factor looks amazing.

Might get a better price if I shop around
