Cool, I have a similar setup and was looking to upgrade to support Frigate and several other things in addition to the couple dozen Docker containers already running. It’s nice to hear that won’t be required.

With a N100 or N305?

Are you sure about that? It shows a green globe, but the max upload speed stays below 1MiB/s. I saw other comments saying this could also indicate you are connected through other peers instead of being reachable through the forwarded port yourself.

I can attest to that. It’s remarkable on how few distros updating through Discover actually works reliably. I always update through the terminal because at least that works. I’ve noticed this issue on Kubuntu (apt), Debian (apt), and OpenSUSE (zypper). I think these issues are related to the PackageKit integration.

They’re not found in traditional PC’s and are attached directly to the motherboard itself. They’re meant for mobile / embedded but are quite popular for servers in the selfhosting community due to their low power usage, price, and performance. It’s comparable to a i5-7500T in terms of performance (so not that fast), but it does have better video encoding acceleration which makes it suitable for streaming video. Due to the availability and prices of Raspberry Pi kits, these are often chosen instead for simple servers because mini-PC’s with it can cost the same as a Raspberry Pi kit.

Considering your budget of 200 GBP / 250USD, I would recommend laptops meant for school. There are plenty of refurbished laptops out there with a decent battery condition and overall state for sale around €100. Most of these machines aren’t more powerful than most entry level Chromebooks and often have a Pentium or Celeron CPU, but that’s a tradeoff you’ll have to make. Another advantage is that they usually come with a touch screen and decent display, which is nice if you’re out and about.

sub 200 GBP / 250USD I guess

Last time I checked most were starting at 700+

If you want to expose it publically for others to use consider using Cloudflare for easy setup and avoiding exposing your home IP. If you want to use it for yourself you can access it with Tailscale and forward traffic to certain ports based on the subdomain using Nginx Proxy Manager.

The N100 goes up to 3.4GHz and has a TDP of 6W

It’s still AGPL afaik

EDIT:

This project is available under GNU AGPL v3 license.

Still is

And obviously their option is the “best”. From the conclusion:

Talos Linux is unique. It’s the only option that includes OS management in a purpose-built distribution for running Kubernetes. There’s no compromise for scaling up or down. In terms of small-scale numbers, it “wins” in several of the examined categories, including memory usage, disk r/w, and installation size. But all of these metrics are side effects of Talos Linux’s defining characteristic: It’s simple.

FYI you can get a numeric xyz domain for 1$ a year

My server is in a closet without ventilation. You will probably be fine.

Yes, that and bbswitch. Never got it working.

A common issue with those hybrid graphics is that it simply doesn’t switch and only uses one. Are you sure you’re not just using either integrated graphics or your dedicated GPU all the time?

Not technically hardware itself but Nvidia + Intel hybrid graphics have never really worked for me

Yeah, took me some time to figure out too

They don’t. They have a CDN sponsor.

Can’t you use a script for that? There is a method to bulk import into linkding from Firefox and a REST API for linkding that allows you to remove all expired links.
