Because it’s not an alternative to people with YouTube as a job. It’s great if you want to have a couple of videos hosted and watchable by others. There is no way to monetize them by their very definition and mission statement. Their own website says it was “created for non-commercial purposes”. It’s his job though, so he’s not the target demographic.

You could integrate sponsors, which he doesn’t do on YouTube either. Or redirect to patron or similar services.

There’s also no (or very little) discoverable for people who watch sometime similar, which YouTube actually does extremely well. So how do you grow your audience?

These lists really need to stop promoting proton mail. There are actually great alternatives that didn’t have a shady history on privacy and an even more shady CEO.

Depends what you want to do. If you want only docker containers, it’s the wrong tool. If you want to run a mixture of VMs and LXC containers, it’s literally a management interface made for it. So it’s pretty good at it.

Energy got incredibly expensive. I live in a very small, well insulated house (good), but it’s heated with electricity as resistive heat (not good). So no heat pumps (which would be good again).

I happen to be able to see how much it costs me to heat it. It’s not particularly cold at the moment and it’s between 7 and 10 € every day! So calling it 1000€ for a month in winter isn’t far off.

Now if you have a larger house, or bad (or even no) insulation, even if you’re heating with some fuel that’s cheaper per kWh, it’ll still add up to at least similar if not higher numbers. Not hard to imagine that’s quickly too much for many people…

If you want to get into running a home lab, this world probably be a nice start. So throw proxmox on it and host all the services you want (in containers or VMs). Media server like jellyfin, maybe a nextcloud, storage/Nas services, automate your home with home assistant.

It has a relatively large amount of memory for that generation of system, but also will probably not exactly sip power for the performance your getting. So if power is expensive where you are, think twice about it.

That wasn’t the point. The point was that the terms as written would allow them to.

That thumbnail alone means “no, thanks”.

Nextcloud can’t do two-way sync on Android. At all. That’s like core functionality for the product IMHO and there’s a feature request open I think. When I found that out, I basically spit out my coffee. It’s fine if you just want to upload photos you take, that kinda works (but my god is it fragile).

Nextcloud is pretty good at quite a few things, including extensibility, but having some omissions in functionality that boggle the mind.
