If you want to host something on a Raspberry Pi, you should consider using literally any other piece of hardware in c/selfhosted

I have an SSD connected to mine which doesn't need external power and runs fine off the "official" power adapter. The case I have isn't the greatest (two pieces of acrylic and some stand-offs lol), but it costed 50p and gets the job done.

As for scale, you're beyond a Pi at that point.

What's a good recipe you cook that doesn't need expensive ingredients? in c/casualconversation
[–] jmshrv 4 points 2 years ago

Probably not "good", but a tin of chickpeas and a jar of store-bought curry sauce (doesn't really matter which one) is super easy. Just put the chickpeas and sauce in a saucepan, and simmer for 20 minutes (also get some rice).

What wallpaper are you using right now? in c/casualconversation
[–] jmshrv 3 points 2 years ago

I use default wallpapers, I love how much they define the feel of whatever system I'm using. They also end up causing a lot of nostalgia.

Just curious, have you ever found anything mentioned in an amber alert?

Wouldn't you be able to make awards pointless by running an instance that handed them out without any payment?

Personally, I hated awards on Reddit and always disabled them in my client.

Nice try Google in c/pcmasterrace

Maintaining a browser is an insane amount of work. Without Mozilla working on Firefox, LibreWolf will stagnate and become unusable.

Alternatives to tar for archiving Linux system? (self.datahoarder)
 

Whenever I wipe my PC, I use tar to make an archive of the whole system. This works, but having to decompress the whole archive to pull files out is very annoying. Is there another archive format that:

  • Preserves permissions (i.e., is Unix-y)
  • Supports strong compression (I use either zstd or xz depending on how long I can be bothered to wait)
  • Supports pulling out individual files quickly
