Advice needed: Mitsubishi Lancer GLX 2000 - Lemmy.World
Hello! Im looking for some advice. Just found an auction for an old Mitsubishi
Lancer GLX from 2000. Looks very fresh, drivable, passed inspection this year
and got the timing belt changed this year aswell. The auction is currently at
400SEK, roughly 40USD. Since my current Lancer Wagon from 2007 is starting to
have issues with the steering gear im wondering if its might be worth bidding on
it. Anyone with experience regarding upkeep of an old Lancer GLX? Or just any
forums can point me towards?
Phone suggestions - Lemmy.World
Hello! Im looking to get a new phone since my old OnePlus 9s battery is real
bad. I was thinking about a new Pixel 10/Pixel 10 Pro and pray the Graphene devs
manage to get Graphene running on it, although i read that the base Pixel 10 is
way less equipped than the 10 Pro. What are your thoughts here? Worth mentioning
that work is paying for it. Unsure how willing boss’ll be to get the Pro but
only time will tell. Im looking for alternatives in the case that the Pro is a
no-go. Also just generally curious about the status of Graphene and the 10
series, heard there were some challenges but dont know how bad its looking?
Sorry for not being able to answer until now. From what i can summarize a dGPU seems useless for my case. It also seems like a 11th gen i5 is the way. I wonder, does RAM speeds matter? If i can get a mini or micro ATX board and hook up an i5 with a good amount of DDR4 RAM i think i can get away cheaply. Will probably start off with a small M.2 and see if i can hook up my HDD later.
Home server advice - Lemmy.World
Hello /c/selfhosted! Im sorry if this is not the place to ask but i figured id
give it a shot. Mods feel free to delete if i should post elsewhere. Im
currently contemplating building an actual home server. My problem is i have no
idea what to prioritize in a server. My main concern is probably power
consumption and price. It doesnt really need to be a brast. I currently self
host a media center on my gaming rig which id like to move over and id like to
be able to host stuff like Immitch and maybe some game servers from time to
time. Im fairly confident in my building skulle since ive built a fair share of
gaming rigs over the years but i dont really know whats optimal in a server
setting. So i come to you to ask about this landscape. Im thinking good amount
of RAM a fairly recent AMD processor on an unspecified motherboard. I do have an
M.2 and extra HDD lying around and also an old GPU (GTX 960) but idk if GPU
matters. In any case, how would one go about reducing power consumption, my
first idea was underclocking the CPU egen though i know AMDs recent CPUs should
be pretty efficient. But is there any other, better, solutions to bring down
idle consumption? As stated im pretty fresh on this. Closest ive gotten to a
home server is a couple of RPis. Any information or tips are very welcomed!
Tips for Smart TVs? - Lemmy.World
Hello! Ive had my LG Smart TV for almost 2 years now and i have some issues with
it. Apart from the obvious data collection and shady opt-out “do not sell my
data” settings theres just a bunch of other magical issues with Jellyfin, WebOS
and their apps that annoy me. Does anyone have any alternative Smart TV OS, tips
or tricks? Would love to run another OS entirely that is privacy friendly but I
dont even know if its possible.
Pi-Hole question regarding unbound and cloudflared

Pi-Hole question regarding unbound and cloudflared - Lemmy.World
Hello lemmings! I have recently started the process of setting up my own
Pi-Hole, I am a developer and pretty comfortable with Linux but I am a bit of a
newcomer when it comes to networking. Now, during the process I noticed that the
VPN I use (Mullvad) claim to have DNS leaks (This is a bit obvious since I was
no longer using the DNS they expected in the VPN tunnel). So after reading a bit
on the pi-hole guides I figured I’d set up a cloudflared service, but instead of
using the cloudflare dns-query I route it to Mullvads own DNS. Now this works
fine and all, it’s DoH and the running Mullvads own DNS so Mullvads own tool is
happy with the DNS settings I have. However, I also read about unbound in the
Pi-Hole guides. I was curious if this was to prefer over cloudflared? Since I am
running through Mullvads own DNS I don’t think there should be any issues.
However locally hosting your own recursive DNS server also sounds good. What is
your opinion? Is it overkill? Is what I have now enough or should I try to set
up unbound aswell? Happy with just a discussion around this to learn more, just
curious whether I should continue cooking on what I have now or if I should just
focus on getting the entire network set up to use this.
