This is the way. I have an HP ProDesk 600 G4 with an i5-8500T, and it has been sipping 7 W for years now. Just be aware, most of these boxes only have one 2.5" SATA and one M.2 2280 bay. For HP, the ProDesk 600 and EliteDesk 800 have another M.2 2280 slot. Also be aware, you need a special internal cable for that SATA bay, so if you buy one of these make sure it has that cable in it already.
+1 for Posteo. Only costs 1 € per month with 4 GB of storage. The only drawback is, it doesn’t support custom domains.
I haven’t heard of them before, that definitely looks interesting. I’ll have to do some more research into them before I trust them fully but thanks.
Yeah Magic Earth isn’t as good as Google Maps, but it comes closest to the full package.
Just FYI regarding car navigation, so far it’s been pretty hit or miss for me whether it knows if roads are closed.
[…] have bought access to Raven, which was previously called GeoSpy.
Oh no our service sounds scary, let’s fix that!
To friends I usually recommend the distro I run myself, as I’m most familiar with it and troubleshoot it the best.
If it’s someone who won’t get constant tech support from me, I’d probably go with Mint.
As a power user Ubuntu sucks, but if you’ve never used Linux before it could also be a good starter distro. The vast amount of tutorials online are made for Ubuntu.
Interesting, I didn’t know NPMplus was a thing. Looks like I’ve got some researching and possibly reconfiguring to do…
That sounds like a pretty beefy machine. To me it’d be a waste to use it as a server, unless you need lots of hardware encoding for Jellyfin etc.
If I had that laptop, I’d use it as a guest gaming PC maybe or as a Steam Machine in the living room. Imho it’s totally wasted potential as a server, unless you actually need the performance.
Yeah Rnote definitely comes closest to OneNote, in the Linux/FOSS space.
Yeah Nextcloud for all learning entities would be huge. We actually have that in Germany for all universities, issue is the vast majority of people don’t even know it exists. And honestly I doubt any of them would even care to use it if they did.
Keep in mind this is a very techy place. I doubt the LaTeX learning curve is worth it for the average Joe. It certainly shouldn’t be the only option for all document writing in school.
I have heard of local DNS multiple times now and been selfhosting for many years, but I’m good with my 192.168.178.39 :)
As someone who loved the Samsung Galaxy S series up until the S10, that’s not quite true. Samsung actually built decent DACs into their phones, with the S10 having that 32 bit 192 kHz.
AFAIK it depends on the adapter, some phones have an inbuilt DAC and literally just use pins in the USB-C port for headphones, which means the dongle is literally just wires.
Other phones don’t have that and require the dongle to have its own DAC.
You probably used a simple adapter on a phone which didn’t have those headphone lines in the USB-C port.

Nope, I was only semi-aware of the forums’ existence. Thanks for the hint, I’ll look into that tomorrow.
And yes I love my LMS setup too. The software definitely has its odd quirks, but the protocols underneath are just rock solid. I actually own 3 SqueezeBox Radios (one with a battery which lasts many hours!) and a SqueezeBox Touch. I got pretty lucky, all the radios were 20 € used each, and the sb touch a friend had lying around from the time where the Logitech servers were still running.
Also regarding Airplay, I’ve had a Raspberry Pi + HifiBerry DAC on my AVR for ages. I just wasn’t expecting AirPlay to work well. But it really is insanely good. If you have any device with AirPlay, I sincerely recommend you try connecting it that way and save yourself the hassle of a Raspberry Pi etc.
Edit:
Honestly, my motivation for creating another account etc. is very slim. Feel free to share this in whatever way, I don’t mind at all.
