I have a pile of the ankle socks that I wear mismatched, (the pile sits on a shelf in the cabinet) and the long socks I fold and stack!

This!! I also took the doors off the cabinets in my closet because they just got in the way. I don't notice dust in the closet for whatever reason.

You're right about underwear and socks, I feel like even I don't want to see them that much, except maybe for the tie dye socks, so I have them in the cabinet.

Also I read that some Europeans keep their bedroom as a private space and don't really entertain friends in there, and ever since I learned that I was like, hell yeah, introvert sanctuary!

My closet has folding doors <3 when they're closed it does look pretty nice. I usually have them permanently open though, and I hang clothes over the top of them, and on command hooks I put on the front. Also it's a metal door so I can put all kinds of magnets :)

Yeah! I do have one cabinet that sits on top of the dresser, for socks and underwear; I forgot to mention it.

Yeah this is true about my shelf too, there's lots of dust on the very top.

I've never noticed dust on the clothes, but maybe the cotton absorbs the dust? 😬 It is weird to think about it.

One thing I haven't mentioned is when I kept the clothes in the drawers, they sometimes would start smelling weird after a long time if I didn't wear them -- I suspect maybe they still had some humidity content when I put them away, and they couldn't evaporate properly in the drawer.

Yeah this is true about socks especially, I have a cabinet thing (with a swinging door and shelves inside) that I keep socks and underwear, and they do fall over sometimes if not properly supported.

Homemade :/ I think my parent was having a bad day and didn't do it right, and didn't notice. I was pretty little. But it was a very strong memory.

Is there a good reason to put clothes in the drawer instead of on the bookshelf? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)
 

OK so a year or so back, I was putting a stack of tshirts temporarily on my bookshelf, and I liked it so much I started moving more of my clothes out of the drawers and onto the shelf. So now I have 3 shelves for books, two and a half for clothes, one for rocks, seashells, and other pretty things, and 1/2 for random items.

I really like being able to see all my clothes at a glance, and it is way easier to get dressed in the morning and put away laundry. I just make sure to put newly cleaned clothes at the bottom of the stacks whenever I do laundry. Is there a computer science term for a type of stack where you read off the top and write to the bottom?

Anyway my real question for this community is, "Am I missing out by not using drawer technology?" Some part of me thinks that there must be some advantage to using drawers for clothes that I just. don't. get. (Besides the fact that it might not be normal lol - or is it? Are your clothes on the shelf? What do you think? Byeeeee!)

How does Lemmy Work? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)
 

So like, how does Lemmy work?

When I click on a post, let's say Lemmy.World, that server sends me the page over the Internet. I get that part. But how does it do comments? Does it tell my phone to go ask lemm.ee and blahaj servers, etc, and fetch the comments?

And why does a post on lemmy.world have have a blahaj URL when I look at it? Is my server making a copy?

"Recommended System Requirements" for buying a used PC for selfhosting (lemmy.blahaj.zone)
 

I'm ready to graduate from my Raspberry Pi era of selfhosting and buy hardware specifically for use as a server.

I've been recommended in the past to look for used Lenovo Thinkstations and/or Dell Optiplex, but it has been so many years since I've shopped for a computer, I don't know what kind of specs to look for. What are the types of specs I should look for to get the best value for money?

I'm hoping to spend around $300-400, get something that can be upgraded in the future to last 10+ years, and do the following things:

  • YUNoHost / reverse proxy
  • Nextcloud with a custom domain for email addresses, cloud drive, photos
  • Music Streaming with something like Navidrome
  • Serve static websites
  • pi-Hole
  • Maybe pi-VPN

And someday maybe:

  • Host game servers like minecraft
  • Jellyfin for videos
  • Kodi and output to TV?

So far based on my selfhosted journey, I expect to want the following:

  • Room for 3+ Hard Drives
  • External UPS (probably will go with the cheap APC at Microcenter that's always on sale).
  • Solid Power Supply / Cooling
  • probably 1000 gigabit Networking (?)

The types of questions I have for Thinkstations / Optiplex:

  • How is the Power Supply / Cooling?
  • Processor? Do I need i5? i7? Generations? AMD? Clock Speed? I'm completely lost here.
  • How much RAM do I need?
  • Do I need a discrete graphics card? Can Thinkstations / Optiplex have a graphics card added to them later?
  • Anything else I'm missing?

Thanks!

Advice Requested: 2006 pc upgrade (lemmy.blahaj.zone)
 

My first PC ever built is sort of unusable in its current state, and there are a few things I could do:

  • Update necessary parts and keep it as a retro-media-compatible PC/nas/server. I love how it has a floppy drive!
  • Get rid of it and save money

If I wanted to replace it, I would need to get at minimum:

  • motherboard
  • ram
  • CPU

I'm hoping I can keep using the following parts, some of which have been updated over the years:

  • pcie 2.0 graphics card
  • 500 W power supply
  • monitor / peripherals
  • optical / floppy drives
  • SSD / HDD
  • ATX case (the original case and motherboard PCI slots never lined up quite correctly...) Cooler Master centurion (?)

I've never done anything like this, and last time I built a PC was in 2006. I lack a lot of knowledge...

  1. Is my case likely to be compatible with a modern motherboard?
  2. Can I buy a modern motherboard/CPU that will be compatible with this other stuff?
  3. Would it be less expensive to buy another used PC and use its motherboard/CPU ?

What happened to JuiceSSH? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

I really liked this SSH client, but I can't find it on the play store and I can't find any recent news. Does anyone know why it was taken down?

Edit: it's back up now, sorry for not checking. But it was down earlier this week when I was trying to install it. Would still like to know what happened, if it wasn't a random Google problem.
