Thanks for your detailed response. I thought about an old office PC, but I guess they’re not even close to <10W idle.
Another quick newbie question: What do you need PCI Slots for? Many SATA ports for Drives makes sense to me, but why PCI
So I should look into hosting docket on my pi and upgrade as soon as I feel like it?
It’s there any way around this? I don’t want my smart home applications to run sluggish. They need to have priority.
Can you tell me a good scanner with integrated OCR? I used to love vflat, but they took a dark turn with a pricey subscription plan
There’s (almost) always the option to buy media on blueray or similar.
I’m curious why someone who is able to afford 40TB of drive space is interested in piracy. Is it more about archiving and ownership than saving a buck?
I think the human component is even more important than the technical. The inventor of the facebook like button kind of regrets his invention. He didn’t forsee all the bad consequences (people being excluded by getting few likes and people doing everything (even dangerous things) for likes and validation)
That’s a great idea, but I don’t know if it fits this platform. What makes Lemmy (and Reddit) great for me is that I can follow specific communities (specific video games, movies, kinks…)
Ah, I see how that could make a difference 👍 I’m wondering wich sorting algorithm should be used by default.
When sorting by best I come across post I’ve already seen after about 15 minutes. (But maybe that’s more of a feature than a bug; 15 minutes per day is probably just the right and healthy amount of Lemmy 😅)
I don’t have the perfect plan yet, but the way you show posts to users (ranking and interface) can have a huge impact on how users interact (think of “allow all cookies” but in a way that incentives the good in people)
One quite intrusive solution would be a popup asking you if you really read (or skimmed) the article before up/downvoting if you haven’t clicked the link yet. Something like:
Do you really wanna vote based on the heading alone? Take me to the article Yes, let me vote
We are definitely off to a good start :D Still there are starting to show problematic signs
In some news communities people are obviously upvoting news article based on nothing more than the headline. This creates an environment where only articles with polarizing headlines succeed, and a real discussion becomes impossible

That makes sense. On Reddit the small communities were always drowned out when using multireddits (worst when sorting by best of the month)
I have an idea for news communities:
When a post is just a link to an article (so no other context) you should be required to click on the link before voting, to incentive users to at least skim the article. Of course posts would get less votes (wich needs to be taken into account when ranking) but voting on headlines alone is useless and bad for informed discussions.
Yeah, you’re right. I used them often
I think that’s one great step 👍 It’s always been a frustrating experience asking for help (maybe with a PC problem) and either getting deleted by mods or getting no answer at all

Old Laptop actually sounds interesting to me, very nice form factor for my “inside the bookshelf” approach, but probably a lot of tinkering.
How do thin clients compare to a pi 4? I’ve heard most of them are worse in computing power and efficiency in comparison to the Pi.
