Yea your not alone, I bought a Steam Deck bc of fomo, and resold my unit shortly after receiving it because I didn’t like it. I’ll continue to hold out for a future portable PC handheld. And I only had to watch one youtube review to tell I wasn’t down for the ROG Ally, d-pad seems quite crappy.

Glad to hear about the Miyoo, was thinking about getting one of those for work, now you got me excited about it.

Been tempted to try to replace my RP2+ with a newer gen model, but dunno if I could ever give Abernic another shot with how bad I hated the one I had, but I’m sure all their devices are different so maybe I should. Also considering the Odin Lite.

I play the shit out of my rp2+, but wonder if it’s worth upgrading… some of these look pretty interesting

Funny story, I spilt coke all over my first mechanical keyboard. I tried everything to fix it, water, rice, alcohol. After all that it still felt horrible so I ended up just buying a new one. But I didn’t throw it away, I just stuck it in my closet where it remained for years.

Then approximately 8 years later, I take it out, randomly decide to try typing on it… its perfect. Felt just like it did when it was new, I dunno if the sugar just broke down or degraded over time or what, but it was fixed.

So if nothing else, just put it into storage for a decade and then try it out again lol.

I’m on kbin.social and I can see this ;)

Tailscale, super easy install, sets up a VPN into your services, no port opening needed

Nope, do whatever suits you!

I would say tho the example you made is one of the infamous cases where docker is more difficult to setup than without due to the file locations of your movies, etc needing to match between dockers. When I set it up I found a really good guide that not only explained how to set it up but they also explained the logic and reason behind the issue.

Another good guide about the issue:
https://trash-guides.info/Hardlinks/How-to-setup-for/Docker/

The reason I’d initially recommend docker to a beginner is it keeps everything clean and organized, it’s easy to undo mistakes while learning, and I feel some apps are easier to setup with docker because they come with the dependencies already installed and configured properly.

Np, I would say dm me if you have any questions but I dunno if you can message between lemmy and kbin haha

1. Follow docker install guide for raspi
2. Browse awesome-selfhosted and find services that seem interesting to you or ask for recs here.
3. Follow the projects guide to do a docker install
4. (Bonus) Setup a reverse proxy like nginx proxy manager so you can access your services with urls
5. (Bonus) Setup domain and a service such as Tailscale so you can access your services safely from outside your home.

Yea between the enshitificaiton of the internet and how far selfhost software has come it is a great time to selfhost and will just keep getting better.

Selfhosting, reddit drama, kbin, all this just makes it seem like the internet is having a sort of grassroots, back to basics movement which I’m all for lol.

Maybe he’s not saying anything but then will drop a fully polished app out of nowhere like that Beyoncé album
