I’ve been on purelymail.com for a couple of years. Receive about 1000 emails a month and send out about 50. Averaging around $0.40/month. They also have a flat rate option of $10/year as long as you don’t abuse the system.

I saw this in the selfhosted newsletter and decided to give it a shot. I liked stirling but also found it slow. My first reaction after trying Bento was “this is magic, how does this work?”

I have it running on a pi4 now.

I took a quick look and was shocked to see prices are at least double for used thinkcentres compared to what I usually see here in Canada. Why are they so expensive in Germany?

Also trying the flatpak version might be worth a shot.

flatpak install flathub org.jellyfin.JellyfinServer

You would use your home directory in place of %h

That’s the guide I followed to automate my backups.

Remember to also report ssh login attempts and unauthorized wordpress access (even if wordpress isn’t installed).

For anyone that needs a guide. Should work for most providers with some configuration changes.

I primarily use antennapod but tried abs out of curiousity. How did you get around the queue issue? I found it to be a dealbreaker

None of your listed use cases will even come close to taxing the 6600k. It’s going to probably sit happily in idle states most of the time.

Proxmox also has great snapshotting and backup features. Makes it easier to mess around with your containers/VMs without worrying too much.

Most people go with either FreshRSS or Miniflux but there’s lots of options to choose from.

Any low power device is going to struggle with video playback unless you’re doing direct streaming. The exception being the new Intel N line of processors that have capable enough GPUs to do the transcoding. If all you’re after is decent transcoding performance for H264/H265 video, anything newer than Intel’s 7-8th gen CPUs will do the job. $100-$200 used optiplexes and thinkcentres can easily handle this type of workload.

Can you be more specific about your performance objectives? The Pi5 can handle jellyfin and nextcloud relatively well, so if you’re having issues with them, identifying the bottlenecks can help narrow down the hardware recommendations.

Welcome to the rabbit hole of selfhosted note-taking apps. https://selfh.st/apps/?tag=Note-Taking

Unfortunately, this is going to be a bit of a journey. You’ll probably end up going through a few of these options until you find one that works for you and fits your workflow.
