One of my first self hosting projects was a jellyfin server. Double check, but I think the main hardware requirements are just 4GB of RAM and enough harddrive space for your videos/files!
I really like immich too. It’s like Google photos, but self hosted. It’s super fast for uploading and backing up your photos over your local network. Immich also needs at least 4GB of RAM I think
Ah yeah, I think you need a 6GB gpu for images and probably like a 12Gb GPU for videos.
I think you can run with models without, but it just slows way down
It’s kinda fun to poke around with image and video generation using ComfyUI. There’s all sorts of models, LORAs, and setting to tune and play with
Maybe related, but I had a friend who had to disable secure boot to get some things to work with his Nvidia graphics card
Actually my daily driver is Mint Cinnamon. I just use ubuntu for random other ones
Just as long as it is local AI and optional. If I’m gonna have to connect my Ubuntu devices to some datacenter just for slop I didn’t ask for, I’m switching again
I guess I have been using gemma4 fro more role playing games. Qwen3.5 seems to be better coder actually
I also recommend gemma4 or qwen3.5. Both super solid in my experience for how lightweight they are
I don’t think VR need to be the “next big thing” but it is just a fun little thing. I have an old HTC Vive and I love firing up beat saber and taking turns with folks when I have company over.
Also vr chat is great!
It seem like people are obsessed with making vr better amd more widespread. I’m content with it to just be a fun little thing I break out every once in a while
Too late, I’m already in love with linux mint!
We have just started one!
Yeah I was curious about that. Like I can poke around in the immich directory, but the actual pictures are stored in a weird structure. Do you have any recommendations?
