I've admittedly added an Intel NUC to my wishlist even before you mentioned it, hahahaha, in case the thin client ends up not working out. it only accepts m2s, and only two of them, but they can't be nvmes which kinda sucks.
from what I've read, though, apparently AMD stuff doesn't gel well with transcoding, but I could have read incorrect info.
I don't actually have a clue on how to run a server that isn't an RPi (since DietPi installs certain things for you) but maybe there's hope I could copy the info from the old server to the NUC if things go that route in the future.
how do you like audiobookshelf? I really have been enjoying podcasts lately (though they're all writing related, so far) but I don't really want to pay a subscription to listen to them on my computer, so I was considering trying audiobookshelf out.
thank you much for the list, and the links for Lemmy communities!
I really just wanted something that could have separated recipes and grocery lists, because my partner is long distance and I wanted this to help them out too. those were my only requirements, I just hadn't known my full range of options at the time.
and thank you too for mentioning to look to solve problems. I'm trying to do that, and not go too deep off into trying to host things I don't need. I had been looking for an RSS reader to keep up with some news things since I don't go on reddit anymore, but I found out that Homarr has a widget for it. trying that out now.
KitchenOwl seems to be newish? it has multiple accounts and households, which is nice, but my family member complained it was unnecessarily complicated.
I've seen Paperless around, I feel like it might potentially be useful for me, since I have a lot of medical stuff going on, plus doggo vet things. but that's probably a future project, since I still have to add more things to my Jellyfin. thank you for reminding me it exists!
I don't know if this is helpful at all in the slightest, but have you considered looking at covers of Taylor Swift's music? or the other artists you mentioned? for me, hearing covers and the different ways that people interpret it has been nice, and still allowed me to enjoy the originals when I come back to them.
lately I've taken to trying to get sun. I can't handle the over-stimulation of my house with my light on, so I turn it off and open a window instead. it's really helped me, even though it's a small thing. my desk is by my window, so that probably contributes.
I've been trying to work on taking walks too. I have four dogs (not by choice, although I love them all, my situation means that my two dogs are now living with two others) in the house, so sometimes they come with me, but I try to spend some time alone. occasionally I listen to podcasts but mostly music. I tend to avoid my thoughts via escapism, which I indulge a little too much in, admittedly. but it's a coping skill I've always had and am not willing to give up.
I guess my point is I wanted to share, not to brag, but to show that taking small steps (sorry for the pun), for me, has helped. it's not always going to help, and I can't always try, but right now things are okay and I'm going to take that. it's also been helping me to use a therapy skill, basically just naming one good thing that happened that day. if you can share it with someone, even better.
what have you done to cope in the past? if you don't mind me asking. I'm sorry if this comes off as too much.
as someone potentially taking baby steps into getting back into anime, I'm very lost and confused with all the new stuff. I would love a recommendations thread, personally.
for something that I don't think a lot of people consider...I got a wrist rest for my mouse and keyboard as a present that I had asked for. it's significantly reduced my wrist and hand pain while typing or using my mouse, which is nice, because I already have pain issues.
additionally! my other mention would be my weighted blanket. I got one as a gift (but it wasn't heavy enough, make sure if you get one it's the right weight) and basically tried it and slept better than I ever had. it only sucks during summer because it makes me warmer. but, other than that, I highly recommend one if someone is thinking about it.
