Present! Using arch btw!

I'm subbed, but I don't have a PC running Linux at the moment and am a complete amateur. So... Lurking for me it is.

Welcome! Post any linux questions you got let's help you dive deeper into the linux world. You can spin up a few docker containers to host some services like your own dropbox.
Here's a tutorial by networkchuck https://youtu.be/eGz9DS-aIeY
- Ok! I actually have a quick one.
  I played around with Ubuntu 7 like 14-15 years ago because it was supposed to be the most noob friendly. Is that still the case?
  (I only dual-booted on an old laptop for fun, but I never really touched it again.)

I just put aside my old iMac running Ubuntu last week. It was barely scraping by. 🪦

Now its all pipelines and cloud instances. #HappyHappyJoyJoy

Running linux mint 21 on old 2008 power mac as dvr security cam server - working great except this thing puts out sooome heat 24/7…

I'm not familiar with security cam DVRs, does it really need that much CPU power?
- Running ispy within docker - yes, multiple streams of HD - 4K video displaying all and monitoring all for motion 24/7 and recording on motion detect + ispy uses AI motion detection and analysis e.g. 'person'... (more cpu...)
  Was running the exact same prior on old dell laptop E6430, it couldn't keep up with displaying 6 cameras @ 10fps each... it displayed with 5-30 second delays. I'm watching realtime on mac pro -
A friend of a friend (perhaps of another friend) gave me an old mac, 32 bit, no battery.
After mint quitting 32-bit, I have now mx on it.
During the winters this machine makes a cozy atmosphere...
