Growing up, I considered myself a relatively hard worker and to be fair, it's brought me to a decent place now. With opportunities/good luck and work, I live in a nice place, have a good job, savings, etc. But for whatever reason, I've slowly lost my edge over the last year or two. During work, I find myself being less productive/procrastinating, and I spend my free time watching TV or eating junk.

I know I can do better, but I've lost confidence over time. I compare myself to my others and feel lazy (because I am or at least could be better, etc.)

I have three major areas in my life at this moment:

1. Work - things have been slow tbh, there's a big project coming but rather than dedicating the extra time to the other two things, I'm wasting time and often procrastinating minor work tasks where I have to do them on the weekend.
2. Career Pivot - this has been difficult because I'm building my resume to move into a new field. I'm chipping away a bit at a time, but certainly coul

I come from 3rd world country (hence small monthly wage), and any pricier battery sold here having the same quality as the 15 USD battery (there are no original or near original battery sold here, and last time I tried to soldered new battery cell, I failed, miserably).

I need advice, because I don't plan buying new laptop, but need to be mobile (move around). X220 still fit my need and and I'm using up to date OS (Fedora 38 XFCE)

Any suggestion is appreciated. Thank you!

I currently have a jellyfin server on a rpi4 running raspbian (I think). I'm planning to migrate that to a Dell Wyse mini pc before I go on a month long trip. I would like to be able to ssh into it from outside my home and add movies and stuff. I have already setup ddns for the jellyfin server, so I only need for a way to add movies to it.

I need some advice on what hardware to buy for my home setup. I see a lot of posts talking about software, but not so much hardware. I would love to have a box I can buy and start setting up stuff.

A rack seems a bit expensive, my initial budget I feel is reasonable starting out is about $500-$800.

I’ve been looking at mini PCs, what are your thoughts on ASUS PN52? Just throwing that into the post to give a pin point of what I’m looking for.

I’m planning on hosting

• Bitwarden
• Nextcloud
• Plex
• Standard notes
• Lemmy instance
• Web server
• Openresty

And need to be able to upgrade storage etc. for future proofing.

Thankful for all insights, tips, and suggestions!
