Steps to repurpose old laptop as home server with Debian in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world

Thanks. Yeah I'll do that. Is it also possible to enable auto power on after power outage and restore? My celeron mini pc has this feature.

Steps to repurpose old laptop as home server with Debian (lemdro.id)
 

I have an old ThinkPad 11e running Debian that I have repurposed into a home server. It's only supposed to run TVheadend. I don't need any other services for now, but later on i might add a few uding docker.

Is it enough to set multiuser.target as default to disable gui and keep the system always on?

How can I disable all unnecessary services and minimize power usage?

Has anyone here had success with USB fingerprint scanners? I also found this Microsoft keyboard with fingerprint reader but I don't know if it works with linux.

Didn't know it was still being actively developed. Thanks!

Self-hosted solution for FTA tv (lemdro.id)
 

I want to be able to access (watch and record) a couple of FTA tv channels on several devices on my LAN.

I already have a couple of USB tuners so I don't want to spend money on HDHomerun.

I did some research and most people recommended TVheadend.

I've also stumbled upon minisatip but there is almost no documentation for it.

Any recommendations?

So you do all your coding on your tablet?

Not entirely true. Fingerprint scanner doesn't work on my Lenovo thinkbook 14s yoga, for example. And lenovos are known for their Linux friendliness.

Someone has ported Bluecurve theme to GTK3/4.

I need enough RAM since I open too many browser tabs. I also edit 1080p video occasionally.

Yeah I just saw some people on Reddit recommended this one. Checks all the boxes except for weight, but a very good option anyway. Thanks.

Lol. Did you see GPD's 10 inch laptop?

Below 10 inch is too small.

T460 has a 14 inch screen.

Installed Debian on 2010 Mac Pro (lemdro.id)

I have an old Mac Pro that has been collecting dust for years. Today I bought an SSD and install Debian on the machine. It works flawlessly.

Further reading revealed that there is an active community around the classic mac pros and thanks to their modular nature they can be fully upgraded. People even upgrade the CPUs in this thing.

So if you like playing around with a PC like the old days, that is also Linux compatible, a Mac Pro 5,1 seems a good choice. AFAIK you can get it for cheap and a decent upgrade won't break the bank.
