I don't like raspbian :/

For running a likely python or golang bot that doesnt really matter :P

If its just running a tg bot - eh.

I'm looking out for a SBC with 2 GigE ports that I can run as a router, but there are only a few around. It seems to be pretty much a soekris or a pcengines

Single board computer?

yeah

yeah

I recommend spending 50 bucks over a pc engines and getting a zotac zbox

Slap in some cheap ram and second hand hdd and you're good to go.

Plus you get warranty and a better performing better built allround more awesome thing.

Actually, that's not a half bad idea. Means I don't need a separate PC for my server right away

Erm, running a server on that thing would be a challenge.

Its best used as silent firewall capable of gigabit (no suricata on opnsense) or 300-400 mbit/s (suricata enabled on opnsense) traffic.

Well, I'm not sure I'll be able to afford much over 150-200Mbit/s anyway

If you want a full blown server thats capable of running your firewall a hp microserver gen 8/10 (they used to be just 180 euros but they shot way, way up in price) would do, together with a 25 bucks dual-link pci gigabit ethernet card.

Thats how i used to run my firewall atleast.

Once I've got a bit more money, I plan on going full homelab

I just want something that can carry me over until then

even then, that's probably 2-3 years away yet

Do you have a switch already?

If yes go zotac zbox, cram an 8g sodimm and a 2,5" hdd in there, put a usb ethernet adapter from anker onto it and you can run fedora on it, use opnsense as vm with ethernet adapter passtrough on it to regulate your network and use the usb ethernet to give the fedora box itself network as well as using it as server with 5g free ram.

Thats one of the cheapest (and fully silent) options i know of.

Yeah, that will work. Thanks :)

I have a little 5 port switch I bought for a clustered pi project a couple of years ago, but that's been dismantled and the pis reclaimed now

Yeah i've seen, likely the university forgot it still hosts them ?

I've got one of these

It sits just nicely under the pi tower

I've recently started rediscovering my Microtik router

great stuff, shame it's not open source

Very funny name of distribution ? Pidora ? I almost forgot it does exist.

Guys, need help with a slightly off-topic issue: In an attempt to revive my old desktop I'm getting her 8gigs of new RAM on top of the 4 she already has. Memory type is DDR3, I've found a great deal on amazon (HyperX Fury 8GB DDR3 1866Mhz). Now the problem is my motherboard's (Gigabyte 78LMT-USB3 Rev 6.0) specification on the official website says supported memory are 1600mhz, 1333mhz, and 1033mhz but the RAM I'm willing to buy is 1866mhz. Will this RAM work or will it be incompatible? Please help. Thanks!

Ram that can support higher frequencies will clock down if the board cant support it.

Oh, thank you. does that mean it'll drop down to 1600mhz since thats the last supported frequency of my board?

It should drop to 1333

1600 is heavily OC'd and needs to be enabled manually (dont)

no plan on overclocking! ??

thanks tobias :)

I've placed my order

Same, got them before the ram prices went crazy.

They were like 50 bucks ?

I miss those prices

Same, got them before the ram prices went crazy.

Exactly, just before fall of 2016 the prices were sane enough. remembered seeing 16gigs at 100$ more or less

I don't even know why the prices skyrocketed but it's bad

It's might take place the case like: I want to show off, I only use open source

Then you'll need to have a copy of the music and other media (media as in art, not physical medium) you'd like to stream on your devices and have something like music player daemon or vlc handle the serving.

Or junky solution: ftp. Your browser should be able to play mp3, mp4, webm, ogg .etc off of your ftp server.

This doesn't let you have features like playlists, unless you're going to make a web application.

Or be sane and use DLNA or something better suited for the job

Some chip maker floodings, high demand for smartphone ULP memory and all.

Leaves less ram available

Is apple buying out all the flash storage also has something to do with this prices thing?

I don't even store my media in 1080p and transcoding helps

I dont watch movies on my mobile phone.

And i have a 2TB stuffed with movies/series on my x230 for travels.

It could also be my laptop on a train or my tablet

german trains give you 500mb wifi max and frequent mobile network outages.

Dude you can't invalidate a use case just because it isn't your use case

Its kinda useless to even attempt such in germany

How does that make sense as an argument

Transcoding sucks cause I don't need it is essentially what you are saying

How does that make sense as an argument

I'd argue one could or should just carry an entire hdd with movies for such occasions :P

(DLNA doesn't even have transcoding support)

More secure

This way it's harder for people to know my music style

More secure

You could VPN into your LAN and then DLNA

or ftp for that matter

Technically, even with vpn, offline (security) > online (security)

Remember what Richard Stallman said.

Technically, even with vpn, offline (security) > online (security)

Technically but in practice it makes little difference given you use the right encryption

Oh then he should ask away

I guess I can ask here too

I am trying to use PHP 7 on a CentOS 7 machine. I'm using the Inline with Upstream Stable (IUS) repositories. I need the MySQL PDO driver, and I thought I had it installed, but I guess not. I'm trying to figure out how I can enable the MySQL driver with PDO. In PHP 5, I would install php-mysql and that did it, but now I don't know what I'm missing.

And my packages: $ yum list installed | grep -i 'php' php72u-bcmath.x86_64 7.2.3-1.ius.centos7 @ius php72u-common.x86_64 7.2.3-1.ius.centos7 @ius php72u-fpm.x86_64 7.2.3-1.ius.centos7 @ius php72u-gd.x86_64 7.2.3-1.ius.centos7 @ius php72u-ldap.x86_64 7.2.3-1.ius.centos7 @ius php72u-mbstring.x86_64 7.2.3-1.ius.centos7 @ius php72u-mysqlnd.x86_64 7.2.3-1.ius.centos7 @ius php72u-odbc.x86_64 7.2.3-1.ius.centos7 @ius php72u-pdo.x86_64 7.2.3-1.ius.centos7 @ius php72u-xml.x86_64 7.2.3-1.ius.centos7 @ius php72u-xmlrpc.x86_64 7.2.3-1.ius.centos7 @ius
