This is also similar reasoning and why I went with a mikrotik router. All the functionality I need, none of the bullshit, solid performance for price. Only downside is the setup isn’t trivial, but if you’re comfortable on the command line, it’s a breeze.
Just like the old public email lists or Google groups or something, I just wish discord was searchable and indexable so badly
I’ve been getting into Fava, it has a plugin called fava-envelopes that mimics the envelope style budgeting of my one true love, YNAB4, but with the strength of double entry accounting as well. All docker composable as well.
That was my experience using robo advisors too, like betterment. I had so many buy and sells I had to mail my return in on paper, it sucked.
I bought one, it was called the CWWK AIO-T6. Six bay, n5105 based in a nas form factor. Absolutely excellent, runs unraid well. Unfortunately it doesn’t look like CWWK sells it anymore… I got it for £329 with I think 16gb of ram and a 1tb nvme ssd on AliExpress.
Sure, but the server calculates the hot/active every 15 minutes regardless of whether or not you browse it. It’s calculated on a timed job so it’s always fresh and ready for everyone.
Isn’t a semi-significant amount of the per instance load in the database interactions though? I don’t know if that’s still true after some of the optimizations in 0.18, but by having your own instance, even 1 person instance, you no longer load the database of another instance with calculating hot/active/whatever for things you want to see, and you don’t load it when you do pulls.
Are you in the US? It tends to be different there than elsewhere. In the UK here, it’s much more accepted to buy flats and live in them long term. In the US, it’s looked down on because people hate sharing walls, hate the monthly maintenance fee you have to pay the building, and hate the resale value and challenge with resale in general.
Apartments can be an okay purchase but tend not to be an investment like houses have traditionally been.
I mean, it’ll probably be obvious, however they end up doing it. Just look for all the trackers and cookies 😂
Single person instance hoster here! I love that I know what service I’m interacting with, I control what that instance does and chooses who to federated with, and I’m unlikely to get defederated due to some other idiots bad comments or brigading.
