overview for Xylight

So I want to get into selfhosting, and I've decided to get a Raspberry Pi 5. I plan to attach drives to it, from about 500GB-1TB. I'm on a budget, preferably under $100.

I want to host these things:

A personal lemmy instance
A samba server, to store files and backups
A mail server
A few other light docker containers

I was wondering whether I should get an SSD or an HDD for these. Lemmy would probably like an SSD because it uses Postgres, but an HDD would be better for storage since I get more GB per dollar.

What should I go with?

Google Gemini refuses to answer questions about deaths in Gaza but has no problem answering the same question for Ukraine. by Xylight in c/mildlyinfuriating@lemmy.world

I asked it for the deaths in Israel and it refused to answer that too. It could be any of these:

refuses to answer on controversial topics
maybe it is a "fast changing topic" and it doesn't want to answer out of date information
could be censorship, but it's censoring both sides

I love YouTube bots

(the only video of that channel is "Woman cries over dog being put down (HILARIOUS)")

Trying to narrow down an extremely infuriating issue with Mesa on an AMD GPU (lemdro.id)

I have a few questions, please comment if you match all of most of these:

Do you use an RX 6000 series GPU?
Do you experience random freezes when playing games?
Are those freezes a "page fault"? (Use journalctl to check)
Do these issues occur in OpenGL games?
Are the page faults a GCVM_PROTECTION_FAULT?
What mesa version do you use?
What Linux distro do you use?

I've been having frequent freezes and it renders my operating system nearly unusable. I have to restart my computer to recover, and I lose all of my unsaved work.

Has anyone else experienced this issue? Do you use an RX 6000 card on Linux but have not had this issue?
