Since lots of ppl already cover laptop different options, i will skip this part.

Blender is a huge topic. What exactly does your wife exactly do? Something like sculpting, rigging don’t need much gpu power. How complicated the scene is it? For a complicated scene with un-optimisted mesh, it can be expensive. The most expensive part should be high quality rendering. But you can use render farm to “outsourcing” jobs to remote hosts.

Also, it’s 2024. Ww can already launch and run blender remotely thru vm and streaming technology smoothly.

Keep in min that this sw only supports x, not w/ Wayland. Chk the ticket for detail

Plz keep us update on your thoughts, progress, etc. There has very few posts on this topic.

Lots ppl nowadays don’t even own a pc or mac. The market shares already prove lots of ppl can live without desktop. Unless your family need to use complicated softwares like cad, compilers… My point is most ppl do consider their phone and tablet just work. And those two’s maintenance are a lot simpler. Of course, your family, your choice.

I saw an emergency btn in grapheneos. Never use it.

Or we can just decrease the importance of desktop. Users like mobile more. So I just self host stuff and offload data and apps to my server. Thin client (desktop/laptop/mobile/tablet) + thick server.

Google etesync. It has everything you need and light weight and written in modern languages, python. It even supports e2e encryption and open source hosting option. You are welcome.

Wait, breaking employer’s AUP? More detail plz when you have time.

Very cool. You can check out ollama for hosting local ai model.

OIDC is an extension of OAuth2 that focuses on user authentication rather than user authorization. Once OIDC authenticates a user, it uses OAuth2 specifications to perform authorization.

The easiest way to support oidc is thru using lib from your framework/language. All major language should already have oidc lib. Take a look for authelia which has pretty nice doc. We host lots of app and we don’t want to login hundred times for each apps. It’s nice to login once only and all apps play nice to each other ;)

Is it for self-host ppl too?

For all projects/apps, I am looking for OIDC, S3 and PgSQL. It’s easier to implement these features earlier and these features will make any projects more popular in the self host community.

Bodhi. I tried to compile by myself first. But it sometimes won’t work. Too much trouble. Bodhi is simply easy and allow me to stay in Ubuntu/Debian based, as long as you don’t need really new packages. But we have flatpak, right?

I install enlightenment in a asus netbook. Still working. Haven’t updated for so long. ~10 yrs?

Enlightenment. It’s pretty and really fast. Of course you can’t complete with the speed of tile wm. But their development speed is so slow…

I don’t want an exact clone of Instagram server. Only publishing content to my friends instead of strangers is exactly what I want ;)

Btw, how does the others find a new client? Exposing ip to strangers from internet sounds horrible. Can we only allow connecting via links invitation with expiration?

Also check out https://getaether.net/ although this project is dead and it always don’t have enough ppl. They also have to implement a feature for removing illegal content.

I am glad we have Lemmy now.

Syncthing is such a wonderful project. RIP. But for us already being spoiled by syncthing, it might be a good time to self host services to handle, sync and serve our own data like photos, contacts and more.

Maybe it’s too fancy and difficult for you. Take a look for moonlight + sunshine, parsec and their competitors.

Cool idea. I have always looked around to see any alternative for Instagram (server, not client) None of them are satisfied. I hope your app can eventually integrated with immich. For example, adding photos with specific tag will upload to the p2p network with strict group acl.

But you need to know where your family/friend are. Or can the system broadcast to multiple locations?

I saw some companies develop modern walkie talkie solution without wifi nor mobile signal for emergency rescue or expedition. But they are expensive.

Good to know. Ty.
