Install a newer Linux distro on it and run a Luanti server for the kids to play on.

If you are editorializing the headline already, could you at least call it “Worldcoin” (the original and better known name) and not just “World” which is really confusing?

Yes, but afaik the temperature reading is also on the flash itself. On Samsung nvme drives you even get two different temperature readings to differentiate it if I recall correctly.

I ran into similar issues before, but adding a passive cooler brought the temperatures down sufficiently.

However when researching the issue there were several people that claimed that ~70° C is actually the design temperature for these SSDs, which would explain why they usually don’t come with a cooler.

You could probably put Anubis in front of your reverse-proxy, but then you need something else in front of it that handles TLS certificates. So maybe something like this: HAProxy->Anubis->Nginx.

I think I just took it over from Codeberg.org back from when they still used Anubis. Nothing really relevant to Lemmy specifically and it is only in front of the frontends, not the s2s federation API.

It seems though like there are some crawlers that use 3rd party hosted alternative frontends to crawl (unintentionally?) through the federation API, so something in front of that would be useful I guess.

Not too many 8 port managed switches out there with an sfp+ 10gbe port for 50 bucks

Easy to get these days actually, with 10gbit sfp+ and 8x 2.5gbit, managed switches. About $60.

But my actual argument was that your 48 port switch eats electricity like crazy. That aint a cheap switch at all.

But you seem to only need a 8 port at most 🤯

Way too professional looking for this thread.

Also, you got a link to that sticker? Maybe I’ll add that as an ironic reminder to my “Kabelsalat” 😅

That 95% unused switch 😱

Such electricity waste. Much unclean.

“Can” or “could”? Or is there some big news that I missed?

That’s very much part of the experience you seem to crave /s

The audio issues the FP5 has should also be fixed in the next release.

You could also use them with https://www.filestash.app/ for example, but you still need something to actually store the files.

When building you own servers from consumer hardware this is a bit difficult, but getting a PSU that actually fits to the power use profile of the server seems to make a difference. Sadly it is hard to get small PSUs with sufficient SATA power connections.

Sadly this. I have a graveyard of nice server boards that I got cheap before realizing how power hungry they are.

For CPUs basically anything older than gen 6 intel is too power hungry (although be careful with Xeon and xeon derived cpus, that are sometimes older gens rebadged as gen 6).

I am not into “social VR” so I can’t really comment on that (but it does seem like all junk), but there are plenty of good single player PCVR games these days. In fact I have quite a backlog of good VR games I can’t seem to find the time to finish.

IMHO with the hopefully soon release of the Steam Frame and other (shitty) vendors scaling back their involvement, a refocus on actual VR gaming is coming and that is a good thing.

age verification via a closed system as required by Brazil

I mean this part specifically.

The Brazilian I talked to basically said this is still entirely undefined and thus the law while technically in effect isn’t enforceable right now, and she didn’t expect this to change soon and apparently even the government doesn’t expect this to happen before the end of the year.

Do you have a source for that? I recently talked to a Brazilian Fediverse server operator about this and she didn’t mention anything like that at all.
