HPR4163: Reintroducing myself while discussing Samba and tiny computers

Published: July 17, 2024, midnight

Hi, Al, the co-host of Tuxjam here, I share some\npersonal insights and then proceed to discuss the following\nepisodes.

\n\n

Here is the command I utilize to set up Samba as a service,\neliminating the need for automatic console login:

\n
sudo apt install samba samba-common-bin
\n

Run the following command to restart the service after you have\nedited the Samba config file.

\n
sudo systemctl restart smbd
\n\n

Upon listening to this episode, I acquired a ThinkCentre\nM700 Tiny from eBay which came barebone, equipped it with an\ni5-6400T (also from eBay), and 16GB of RAM from CEX in the UK. I share\nmy experience of running it with KDE Neon with Plasma 6.1, and after we\ntested Ultramarine.

\n

Next, I discuss my media server, which is an HP laptop powered by an\n8th generation Intel® Core™ i7-8650U processor, equipped with 16GB of\nRAM, and running Jellyfin.

\n

Finally I discuss my plans to acquire a ThinkCentre\nM720q, which can support up to two drives, including a 2.5" HDD/SSD\nand an M.2 SSD. I also share my intentions to install Proxmox on this\nsystem.
