Looking for advice buying a laptop - lists of requirements inside - Lemmy.World
Hey everyone! I just bought a Lenovo Yoga L13 Gen2 and I am greatly
disappointed, after installing Arch on it it’s overheating a lot even when I
only have Firefox open. During my research buying this laptop I also made the
mistake of not checking if the RAM can be upgraded and now I’m stuck with 8 GB
of soldered on, non-upgradable RAM. Anyways this is why I’m turning to you, I
spent hours upon hours researching trying to find the perfect laptop to buy
before settling on this one, and since the result was so catastrophic I figured
why not ask around in the community a bit. I was only going to buy a used model
since my budget isn’t that big. The laptop is intended for browsing and some
(Java) coding, so it doesn’t need to be extremely powerful. The main use case is
for a small laptop that I can use on my lap on the couch or in my recliner to
browse or do some coding while using Arch Linux. My MUST have requirements are:
- 13 inch screen (max 14 inch) - Touchscreen with at least Full HD (1920x1080)
resolution - Good/ perfect Arch Linux support - Good cooling/ doesn’t get super
hot Ideally the following requirements should also be met: - Touchpad buttons
with dedicated middle-mouse-button - Backlit Keyboard - Bright screen -
Upgradble RAM or alternatively 16 GB RAM version available I intend to spend
around 300€ max used, for reference I paid 190€ for the L13 Gen2 with 94%
battery health. I would prefer a laptop that isn’t older than 8th/9th Gen Intel
and equivalent AMD. I would be open to models with Intel and AMD chips. I am so
grateful for anyone who sees this post and comes up with some suggestions, after
hours upon hours of research I am a bit exhausted and desperate for some
community suggestions. Have an awesome day everybody! :-)

Selfhostable notes app that encrypts the files on Disk?

Selfhostable notes app that encrypts the files on Disk? - Lemmy.World
Hey everyone! :) I am currently looking to replace Obsidian with a self-hostable
alternative (that preferably also uses Markdown) but instead of storing the
files directly on disk has a way to have all the files within in an encrypted
vault / binary format. Reason being I have very very sensitive data that needs
to be stored (employee & medically related). I read that Logseq used to support
this feature but it has since been deprecated, some light googling didn’t
surface any results other than that so I would be delighted if anyone had any
suggestions! Thanks so much in advance for any and all help! :)
Considerations for a homeserver thats open to the internet? (Jellyfin / Nextcloud)

Considerations for a homeserver thats open to the internet? (Jellyfin / Nextcloud) - Lemmy.world
Hey guys, after reading up on selfhosting for weeks now I finally decided to
take the plunge today and tried setting up my own nextcloud & jellyfin
instances. For this purpose I am using a mini PC. (similiar to an Intel NUC) Now
I would like to make both services available to the internet so I could show
images to friends while I’m at their place / watch movies with them. The problem
is I am currently not very educated on which security measures I would have to
take to ensure that my server / mini PC doesn’t immediately become an easy
target for a hacker, especially considering that I would host private photos on
the nextcloud. After googling around I feel like I find a lot of conflicting
information as well as write-ups that I don’t fully grasp with my limited
knowledge so if you guys have any general advice or even places to learn about
all these concepts I would be absolutely delighted! Thank you guys sooo much in
advance for any and all help, the c/selfhosted community has been nothing but a
great resource for me so far!!!
Best alternative to selfhosting email? E.g. email hosting provider for a custom domain

Best alternative to selfhosting email? E.g. email hosting provider for a custom domain - Lemmy.world
Hey guys, after looking into selfhosting email it seems to me that it’s probably
better if I use an existing email hoster like Namecheap or Porkbun. Now I saw
that Porkbun doesn’t offer catchall emails so I can’t use it for my usecase. Do
you guys have any recommendations for a reasonably priced email hoster for a
custom domain that offers all basic features like catchall? The purpose is for
one domain I use for my personal stuff and one for a small side hustle/ small
business. Thanks so much in advance for your help!
