It is working. It buys them enough time to sell enough new hardware and games. It will take a really long time until development picks up again, since basically every developer associated (not necessarily every one who has contributed to the project) with the yuzu group can no longer legally work on that project. So basically a lot of expertise is lost.

Because those steps need manual review. Things change, packages get removed, packages get upgraded, config files need to get manual reviewed and merged etc.

On a simple System without much configuration that stuff does not matter, but when you use different package repositories and backports you need to be careful. I am not sure how introducing a new command does solve those complex issues. Imo only the system admin can decide what the best steps are.

ShortN0te , 3 months ago to Selfhosted in Do you run an image-based Server?

Debian releases a migration guide with every new version release.
And sorry but if you have trouble updating your system then replacing the source.list file and then updating your system again, you should reconsider running a server yourself, imho.

Would recommend dockge over portainer if you only need a web gui for docker-compose. Faster, snappier, compatible with cli, simple file structure etc.

ShortN0te , 4 months ago to Selfhosted in How responsive is your Nextcloud?

The out of the box experience of the containerized nextcloud is actually really bad. Had it running bare metal with apache and it was way faster.

But have you tried the official AIO docker compose file? Basically copy the redis stuff from there and you are good to go.

Thank you. Would love to see the true idle. The difference between idle and light load is often not that high. I imagine the CPU supports virtualization?

And would also love to know some more specs of the NUC.

ShortN0te , 4 months ago to Selfhosted in Is rpi still the single board go-to?

Pls, provide some proof for those numbers. The 'under 5W mark' gets often claimed but i still have not seen a valid proof (a simple measurement with a wattmeter) of it other than some spec sheet.

The overhead does not matter really. USB 5V power supplies are cheap and efficient these days, yes you need to look out for an efficient one but even one with only 50% efficiency (which is really really bad) would only add 1W to the (lower than) 2W power in idle. That would still result in lower power in idle.

ShortN0te , 4 months ago to Selfhosted in Is rpi still the single board go-to?

Thanks for providing those numbers. Pretty much what i expected

My guess is, that those 5-6W on idle that gets thrown around in so many blog posts is probably just the CPU in idle state and not the whole board with io and other stuff.

As i said. The RPi (and other SBC) remains king for low power and low load applications like for example smart home. Especially in counties like germany with high energy prices. But honestly i am always surprised what can be run off a RPi.

And i just looked. The price for a RPi is actually not.that bad anymore, just saw a ebay listing for 3 * 3B+ for 100€.

For other low power usage where arm is not feasible those intel embedded based thin clients are an excellent choice.

ShortN0te , 4 months ago to Selfhosted in Is rpi still the single board go-to?

Never have seen a thin client that goes below 7ish Watt on idle. Basically every RPi does. https://www.pidramble.com/wiki/benchmarks/power-consumption

ShortN0te , 4 months ago to Selfhosted in Is rpi still the single board go-to?

Just as a rule of thumb: 1W of constant power costs is at most 25cents (40cent/kwh, which is even high for Germany).

The cost for a year is 1W24h365=8.76kWh which are at 0.4€/kWh 3.504€.

So with a difference of 3-4W you pay in a year between 10.5-14€ more than for the pi.

And i often heard the claim of thin clients idling around 5-6W, but i never got proof. Most things i saw are around 10W. Can you provide a picture? I would be really interested, honestly.

ShortN0te , 4 months ago to Selfhosted in Is rpi still the single board go-to?

You can get your 3b+ (and 3 even lower) to under 2W easily on idle. 3-4 is a lot. Check out some guides, basically disable BT, display out and WiFi.

ShortN0te , 4 months ago to Selfhosted in Is rpi still the single board go-to?

RPis are still unbeaten in terms of power usage, but the difference to a low end thin client is small.

Not even close when it comes to tuned idle power usage.

Or if you do not care about power consumption.

ShortN0te , 4 months ago to Selfhosted in What's your thoughts on Rustdesk?

It does not matter to me if it is still there or not. The point that this was in a release makes me question their code and release practices.

ShortN0te , 4 months ago to Selfhosted in What's your thoughts on Rustdesk?

I never ran it since i got scared by the shit they done with 'wayland support' which smells like really bad code practices. Patch

But i still somewhat want to use it since it seems much less hassle then teamviewer and anydesk these days.
