I have a Hugo blog I'm setting up to work on my own forgejo server flow instead of through Github Pages.

I hate how pictures work on Hugo so I was going to just host them on a separate thing and embed the images that way.

Now I'm over thinking it and considering to just run a Lemmy instance, post the markdown for the blog posts there along with the images. Then I have an image host and a place to let people complain about my shotty writing in one go.

Plus there's federation visibility as well.

So short questions

1. This a good idea?

2. Are there better options?

3. is it easy enough to set up a single user Lemmy/Piefed instance?

4. Lemmy or Piefed? Which is easier to host

This should be excellent for selfhosters that have all their services in one VM. I haven't tried this myself, but I think this means you can:

• you can create memorable links instead of memorizing port numbers: jellyfin.foo-bar.ts.net
• share one service from a machine instead of all of them in a more intuitive way

If you’re new to Tailscale Services, it lets you publish internal resources like databases, APIs, and web servers as named services in your tailnet, using stable MagicDNS names. Rather than connecting to individual machines, teams connect to logical services that automatically route traffic to healthy, available backends across your infrastructure. This decoupling makes migrations, scaling, and high availability far easier, without reconfiguring clients, rewriting access policies, or standing up load balancers. Our documentation has details on use cases, requirements, and implementation.

This is a very crucial website it allowed me to archive some tweets but right now I can't access

Just FYI the previous deal was $100 billion, will we see the bubble pop soon? Can I buy RAM or any fricking component now?

The best punishment for shitlibs is to be forced to interact with people just like themselves.

I am currently looking for Thin Clients on ebay to use as my main server instead of the RPi 4 with an external USB drive.

I found decent offers for:

• Dell Optiplex 3020M with i5-4590T 4GB RAM 120GB SSD
• Dell Wyse 5070 with Celeron J4105 or Pentium Silver J5005 both with 8GB RAM 64GB SSD

Given the current prices of new hardware my questions are:

• Should I go for 8GB RAM?
• Or are 4GB RAM fine and I should take double the storage?

Things I want to run on this server:

• Karakeep
• FreshRSS
• Paperless-NGX or Papra
• Immich
• Booklore

Because I plan to mostly use podman I tried to check for virtualization and all three suppoert Intels VT-x technolgy, will that be fine for my use case?
