Zimaboards do not need RAM. They include it (do not confuse it with the Zimablade).

I just use the default hardware with the Zimaboards. Zimaboard 832s for the masters and nodes, and I recently added a couple of Zimaboard 2s for larger nodes as those have 16gb.

I like the boards, they perform well and the intel cpus in them have internal GPUs so for light transcoding or GPU loads they can be leveraged without need for GPU cards. After trying several other x86 based options, Zimaboards are my preferred option.

I used Zimaboards. They are affordable and all you need if you couple the cluster with a TrueNAS Scale box and setup Democratic CSI.

And any service that uses it can fuck off.

Maybe where you’re from but globally “cracks a joke” is a common phrase.

Was coming to say this… This is considered cooked?

Even the toast is underdone

Huh, I didnt realize that was an actual product and not just a mistake.

What product are you even talking about? Bitwarden has had syncing for years, if not from day 1

You got that backwards. Its open office that hasnt been updated in years.

Why do these articles not list the music that was sold or the artist names used?

Processed by LLMs no doubt.

I loved Mozilla for years but trust nothing from them these days.

I love listening stats, I just don’t need to share them, and for that I have Navidrome. I use subsonic clients and a Navidrome server for my Bandcamp purchased. I get the stats and privacy too…

Moreover, until you can get the same output from the same input from an LLM consistently, the entire tech is unreliable garbage.

Most of the medical information coming up these days is garbage and you should be going to a known, reputable site and searching their database. LLMs have been trained on absolute garbage. There is nothing of value being kept from anyone here.

Get fucked.

If you don’t need voice, there are a lot of options. Matrix has IRC support and encryption, and has voice options if you self host.

Riot is… A Discord clone without working voice and I found it to be an odd duck.

There’s RocketChat… More Slack like.

Mattermost.

I replaced my voice/video chats with Nextcloud Talk and/or Steam, based on the scenario. Outside of those, Matrix is good for community needs in my mind.

We interacted on the internet for years without discord.

It is far from essential.

Most of the american companies are using Chinese manufacturing for much of the devices. Fairphone is European, but same manufacturing sources.

In 2026, as a Canadian… Choosing between a country that is adopting nazi practices and threatening us with annexation, and one who has a questionable history but is overall doing more for climate change and global stability right now than the other… The choice is easy. Anything but american.

Sure, but then you are also not funding Google’s competition in order to help improve choice.

Buying second hand might make you feel better because you didn’t directly fund Google, but you’re still helping them maintain their position.

The Graphene devs explicitly only support Pixels. Sticking with Graphene means continuing to give Google the profits from your hardware.

/e/OS is not bad as an alternative. The system wide ad and tracker blocking is nice.

Kube makes it easy to have a lot, as a lot of things you need to deploy on every node just deploy on every node. As odd as it sounds, the number of containers provides redundancy that makes the hobby easy. If a Zimaboard dies or messes up, I just nuke it, and I don’t care whats on it.
