Great tool for documenting your setup. I use this at work a lot

Crysis 2 doesn’t fit the 10 year timeframe OP mentioned ;)

Who would expect anything else from Hungary?

I would say that “on prem” defines a location, “selfhosting” an action. You can do both at the same time, e.g. selfhosting nextcloud onprem.

Probably overkill, but for projects like this I’ve setup WordPress in the past. Once everything was done, I converted the WordPress page to a static site with httrack and use the static version.

This gives the ease of setting up and editing combined with the stability and security of a static HTML website.

While you can probably use them for some small tasks (like a switch, a file server with a USB thumb drive or a print server), you’re probably better off if you can sell them and buy a raspberry pi or similar.

The Fritzbox 7530 for example could be sold for 50€ (at least in my country).

Far right, as always

It seems sort of a waste of resources to use a steam deck as a stationary device. However, I don’t think there is a really large market for a console-like steam machine.

That’s exactly what the nextcloud desktop app does.

TBH, the description in the original post is not very clear.

Have you tried the official Nextcloud desktop app?

Many “smart” devices are sold with the idea that you can control your home from somewhere else. Maybe change the temperature on your way home or get notified when someone rings your doorbell. All this stuff requires servers to work.

Controlling some lightbulbs via bluetooth/wifi would be possible of course, but probably not very interesting for many.

Even a raspberry pi can run linux with an lxd desktop, and this i3 is a few times faster than a raspberry pi. But it depends on what you want to with it…

The performance target of “linux desktop running lxd” and the price tag “not crazy expensive” is not very clear…

I would personally look for a fanless barebone pc and equip it with as much RAM and storage as you like. One example for this could be the Zotac ZBOX CI629, which you can get for around 400 Euros and has a 13th gen Intel i3 built in.

Is this within your budget?

If you are not happy, then try a few more distros.

The raw electricity usage is ~25 times lower for E-Bikes. And that is not counting in the 2 ton weight difference with all this steel, battery cells, electronics etc.

Nope, that’s a lake. Totally different.

As of this source, the difference is merely 3% in performance. Not worth it, IMO.

I found a price info in the forums:

What price I can expect? Base Model 7840u 16GB/512GB will be 499$ or 4099 CNY Base Model 8840u 16GB/512GB will be 599$ or 4499 CNY

Edit: The same source says there is a touch screen

I think it’s too late for Erdogan, he is probably at the end of his political career. He even said that this will be his last election (though he will probably stay around until 2028).
