  • I have a couple of friends with nextcloud, and I have nextcloud too. Low tech ish? But we just host our files on Nextcloud and then copy backups to the other machines every now and then.

    My NC uses about 6gb of RAM, and it is really badly optimized, since it’s been running forever and isn’t a container, or even a server deploy. (It’s a snap running in desktop Ubuntu since 2016.)

    Anyone could do better, I just can’t be bothered.

    My buddy has his running on 1.5GB of RAM in a container.

    I also host a bunch of other stuff. Navidrome and freshrss get the most use, other than Nextcloud. Immich, searx-ng, jellyfin, guacamole.












  • I’m not frugal, just a cheapskate. I have an i5 NUC that I got for 225$ Canadian, so like 16$ USD… (I exaggerate.) I got an old 1080p projector from an Electronics Recycling in town for 125$ CAD, and a receiver at an auction. No remote and the HDMI in was busted, 40$. So I used a USB sound card with optical out. (Another 40$.) Speakers from goodwill. The wall I project to is already white. I have an Ikea Kallax with the receiver and the projector right behind my couch. Speaker wire is scrap cat5 cable from work. The subwoofer has an annoying buzz at the moment, but it was 20$ from Goodwill, so… Otherwise, it’s big, bright, loud. I cobbled it together over a few months, but it’s a great setup and very cheap.

    Not stupid at all. I think I read that Disney has something like that for charging communications equipment at the parks. (I could be remembering wrong, I am internet brain-addled.) You know the crazies would hate it, though. Smart money says that there’s an entirely port-free iPhone in the next five years.
