As the title suggests, we have brought back the CLI interface for Linux users. This has been one of the most requested features, and we’re excited to finally bring it back.

Huh? And what have I been using all this time?

Mini pc for home server? in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world

I built a home server based on an Intel N100 motherboard a while ago. I've put proxmox on it and run my Home Assistant installation, Nextcloud, several other stuff and even my router as an OpenWRT VM!

I chose to go the N100 motherboard route mainly due to the flexibility it offers. But you can just buy a N100 based NUC and you get effectively the same performance and incredible low power consumption.

I would recommend against the Pi 5. It is way underpowered in my opinion. Plus with a x86 system you just have a lot more software compatibility.

AWS crash causes $2,000 Smart Beds to overheat and get stuck upright in c/technology@lemmy.zip

Smart products themselves are not the issue. The issue is making everything cloud based. The solution is companies designing their products so they can be controlled over the network.

It's a fucking bed! It doesn't need a persistent connection to some server. The problem is that they also want to mine and sell your data.
