would you mind elaborating on the benefits? like what does one actually gain in a real-world scenario by having the software tuned to a specific machine?
disk space aside, given the sheer amount of packages that come with a distro, are we talking about 30% less CPU and RAM usage (give or take), or is it more like squeezing out the last 5% of possible optimization?
I use the provided databases in the docker-compose file, since some services require a specific version and I'm too lazy to investigate whether it works on my existing service or not.
I support free software, so anyone has easy access to great software and the opportunity to create amazing things and make another person's life better.
I also support gun rights, so anyone has easy access to guns and the opportunity to end another person's life.
actually...Israeli Hitler would be more appropriate.
Not all Jews support Ben (and Israel in that matter) ... But most Israelis do seem to support Ben, otherwise they could've just just gathered around the gov building and demanded his step-down.
Are they thou? In my region the 4Bs are selling at around 60 bucks (no case, no SD)... A "couple" of them (including some for backup and HA and Octoprint) would mean at least 4 of them, totalling at 240 bucks (or 300 with SD). For that money, one could get two (or even three) more-than-capable thin clients.
As some others mentioned, when the DNS goes down (which pihole is) your whole network is down. With the fragility (and slowness) of the PI, it'd be more likely it will go down, sooner than later.
Considering the cost, a good alternative, imho, would be some sort of thin client, with an energy efficient CPU. So, instead of getting 2-3 PIs, better get one of these TCs, while keeping your PI as a DNS backup solution.
I've mine on a separate VLAN that has no internet access. the only thing it is allowed to do is sending and receiving UDP packets on port 14447/14449 for hyperionLED. And that's about as smart as I allow it to be.
but yeah, setting up davx5 with my fastmail account gives me exactly what I need. I can use the google calendar app to have my FM calendar fully integrated.
Yeah, I've heard about radicale. But the "merging" and sync still happens on the client side of things (Android). I was hoping for some kind of dockerized backend service that can bring together all the calendars. And the only thing I'd have to do is go into the backend, connect FM and google (or any other calendar) and link that (dockerized) service account on my phone.
I too swapped my HDDs to SSDs recently, and while they're in an enclosure, connected via USB, with ZFS they perform way better than a single NVME.
