[Question(s)] Hyper beginner, i have a bunch of questions in c/selfhost@lemmy.ml
[–] 2 points 4 days ago

Where should i buy my domain and are there any things i should be careful about?

not sure. i host at home and vpn in with tailscale

does the end of my domain (idk the specific name but .XYZ) matter at all?

shouldnt matter i believe?

I get that i should use a used PC (i have none lying around), but how old?

depends on what youre doing, but for simple file sharing and some small automations you could probably get away with a 10ish year old computer. i used a 2012 hp pc for many years. only replaced it abt a year ago.

Am i willing to self host too much stuff?

if your machine can handle it, who cares?

Can i use Gentoo, Devuan, or other non-systemd distros as an OS?

you can use anything you like. host everything on plan9 for all i care.

    [Frame] Steam Frame reservation in c/steamdeck@sopuli.xyz
    [–] 7 points 1 week ago (1 child)

    my steam machine for reference: waitlisted on 6/26, got the email to buy 9/7

    i suspect i lucked out and got it kinda early. havent seen much talk about it.

    i am not expecting to get to buy the frame until 2027, but maybe ill get lucky again.

    E-bike: repairability vs theftproof? in c/askchapo@hexbear.net
    [–] 12 points 2 weeks ago* (1 child)

    a lot of these batteries come on sleds. if youre worried about the battery, you can usually remove it and take it with you if youre concerned about the theft. example on amazon

    one thing thats kind of annoying is there isnt really much of a standard for displays and motor controllers. i have a display that cracked and rain got in and it stopped working. i cant find the exact same display, so i have to replace the controller as well. (i tried a few similar looking displays that didnt work). probably wont be an issue for you for a couple years, but keep that in mind.

    also depending on how comfortable you feel with it, most of these bike batteries are just banks of 18650 batteries, so you can referb the battery (replace cells) yourself if that doesnt scare you.

    Tailscale not installing? (lemmy.sdf.org)
     

    I recently reinstalled my nixos (long story). but for some reason, tailscale refuses to install. when i reinstalled, i just copied over my configuration.nix to replace the default one from the install (not sure if that is part of the problem?). or maybe its just broken right now, and i need to wait it out?

    Python not built for tkinter? (lemmy.sdf.org)
     

    I have a program that I wrote, maybe I didn't package it appropriately, but I cannot got it to run. I wrote it on a manjaro install, and tested it on another manjaro install, both were fine. I packaged it with poetry and copied the wheel over.

    Today I tried to install it on my nixos surface tablet I use at work. I get this error on installation:

    Traceback (most recent call last):                                            File "/home/gzuh/.local/bin/willcallgui", line 5, in <module>

    import _tkinter # If this fails your Python may not be configured for Tk
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named '_tkinter'

    These are the packages i have installed... I'm trying to install it with pipx...

    environment.systemPackages = with pkgs; [
    vim
    wget
    screen
    google-chrome
    openssh
    blackbox-terminal
    tailscale

    imagemagick
    git
    python311Full
    python311Packages.tkinter
    python311Packages.pip
    python311Packages.pipx

  ];

    What am i missing?

    Looking for a python friendly cloud-based notes app. (lemmy.sdf.org)
     

    I'm working on a python program, and i need to sync the results to an ipad as a todo list (with checkboxes)

    I had been using google keep, and manually copying /pasting the data over from my cli based app. I will be out of the country for 2 weeks, so im updating my software to no longer being cli, and ideally syncing the final list to google keep or something similar, since someone else will be running the software. You know how normies get when they see a terminal window..

    tried this googlekeepapi thing i found online, but the authentication was very complicated and i couldn't get it to work. There is no specific reason we need to use google keep, was just the first thing that came to mind when we set this system up, and it works well and is cloud based.

    Do yall know of any service where i can programmatically generate checkbox lists, and sync them over the web?

    I should note i do not have a server available to self host. could potentially spin something up locally with a raspberry pi, but would prefer not to have another potential point of failure.
