@lemmy.caI have a thumb drive with Mint Mate installed on it and it runs fine on a 4gb i5 - 3rd gen.
I have it working with LaCP'd 4gb networking for the transfers. Five nodes. I agree though, It's a beast on RAM.
I have tried a couple of Proxmox clusters, one with overkill specs and one with little Mini PCs. Proxmox does eat up a fair amount of memory, but I have used it with Ceph for live migrations. Its really useful to me to be able to power off a machine, work on it, then bring it back up, and have no interruptions in my services. That said, my Mini PCs always seemed to be hurting for RAM. So that's my pros and cons.
I own the remake, and I actually had a fan site for it... And got to interview John Freaking Carpenter for that fan site, as he did the music for Sentinel Returns. It was exactly as awesome as it sounds.
Sentinel... From waaay back. Like, Commodore 64 age. I think it would be a perfect VR game, too.
WildStar got done dirty... It hit at the wrong time, but was so much fun. I could never get any friends to play with me. Le sigh.
Godzilla Minus One. What an amazing treat! I went in expecting the big guy to stomp around Tokyo, but old timey, and instead got the best human story in a Godzilla film ever!
Also, Furiosa, which I liked too.
You mean I didn't need to spend years and thousands of dollars learning Linux and servers? Oh man! Oh wait, I'm getting ads in Windows on the start menu. Yeah, I'm happy.
There's a series of Lemmy posts called the Linux upskill challenge that goes step by step through setting up and using Linux. I tried self hosting and jumping straight in too, and it sucked.
What worked for me:
I'm still in the middle of 6+7. Not super comfy with Docker quite yet, but getting there. I really do love having my stuff self-hosted though. Well worth the effort.
