Main problem is, ram isn’t upgradable on recent Apple tech, and you’ll need ram for containers, if you’re gonna host it to the CPU limit, if not, then even more so, brand new intel n100 mini pc for 100-150$ is gonna do wonders for you in self hosting field, what I’m saying is, if your MAIN goal is self hosting, then Mac is not optimal, i mean, you can buy Mac mini for your daily tasks and intel n100 mini pc for pocket change you’ll have left after buying Mac, and host your projects on intel one while using Mac yourself

Actual budget just dropped, holy hell

Basically, reflash spi chips and it’ll be gone, and to be infected by that, person gotta have physical access to hardware he hacks, and physical access is root access as always has been

wake up samurai

Option b of course, rent cheapest vps, ionos.ca offers plans for 2$ per month, it’ll be cheaper than Google fiber, you can also use sshuttle https://github.com/sshuttle/sshuttle on your openwrt router and connect everything to it be it by cable or wireless, then Nintendo gaming will also have that port forwarding because your whole traffic is going to go through vps

Problem is, new i7/i9 top out at 24 pcie lanes so old xeons is still bang for the buck in homelab sector

Mining boards give about 1-2 pci lanes per gpu because there’s a lot of gpus, also look up Nvidia mining gpus, they restricted to pcie x1 or/and x4 even if you put them into x16 slot

Chinese mining motherboard with any xeon cpu (because of abundance of PCI lanes in cpu) and 12x16gb nvidia p100 and nvlink bridges (p40 gives 24gb of vram but doesn’t have nvlink capabilities and slower gddr5 memory, p100 have hbm memory on the contrary which is good for llm) and 8x64gb ddr4 ecc ram, if you buy gpus from ebay and other components such as motherboard, CPU, ram, and ssd from AliExpress it comes quite cheap

Self hosted GitHub, if i say in layman terms

Do they accept crypto payments? If they do, I’d rent some without second thought

Hi-end Xiaomi router, they have WiFi ax and enough ram and support open wrt so you can host your things on it, better yet, do DIY router on orange pi board, there’s tutorials you can follow

Testdisk and photorec, use them, they even saved my data from bricked Chinese usb flash drive, so it’ll save yours unless you wrote dd if /dev/zero of /*/microsd. Also here’s the tip, don’t attempt to rebuild partition firstly, first step try to copy all files from microsd to another device with these programs and after that try other ways, edit: I’ve seen from your other comments that your data already was overwritten, my condolences

Debian all the way

https://github.com/MHSanaei/3x-ui plus foxyproxy or Proxy SwitchyOmega if you’re using chromiums

Same with my arch install, didn’t touched it for 2 months even though laptop was turned off it decided to die when i launched it and run pacman -syu

Upgrade ram to the max and set zram and everything will be good to go

Look up used xeon 1245v1 or v2 or v3 or v4 or v5 they sold for cheap on AliExpress also motherboard for them could be bought there too sometimes they sell combo motherboard and CPU, these cpus i mentioned have ecc and quick sync support and cheap as well
