  • Roku explores taking over HDMI feeds with ads

    Jump

  • A mini PC with a USB IR receiver and whatever old remote you have to spare. It takes a bit of setup to map the remote with something like LIRC, but it works great once that's done.

  • What VPN would you recommend for torrenting?

    Jump

  • It reduces your available peers. You can't connect to other people with closed ports, one side needs to be open.

    It isn't a huge deal with popular torrents, but it can cause problems with unpopular/old stuff.

  • More 128TB SSDs are coming as almost no one noticed this launch — another SSD controller that can support up to 128TB appeared paving the way for HDD-beating capacities

    Jump

  • I've seen SSDs hit 100TB, but those are $40k+. And more "reasonable" options like 64TB for $10k or so.

    HDDs just reached 30TB, but I don't think those are widely available yet. 24TB is the biggest you can expect to see for sale.

  • Amazon Prime Video drops Dolby Vision and Atmos unless you pay extra

    Jump

  • Usenet is a lot faster than torrents, you don't need a VPN, and it's more reliable than anything but great private trackers.

  • Best TV box for connecting to streaming services?

    Jump

  • You can get a USB IR receiver and use software like LIRC to map the inputs of basically any remote you have. Setting it up takes a little effort, but it works great when it's done.

  • What would you change about your favorite Linux distribution?

    Jump

  • grml-zsh-config is its name, and it's always one of the first things I install on a fresh system. I'll never understand why it isn't the default.

  • If you were to suddenly come into possession of 12+ enterprise-grade SAS hard drives, how would you go about incorporating them into your homelab?

    Jump

  • I would sell a few of them to shore up the budget, then use those funds to build a NAS box. You can buy everything other than drives for a few hundred, less if you have spare parts sitting around.

  • I want to get started with *arr apps - here are all the things I don't understand about (reverse-/)proxies and networking in order to get it set up.

    Jump

  • Exactly. Doesn't matter if they're wired or wifi, or where they are, as long as they're on the same network you're fine.

  • I want to get started with *arr apps - here are all the things I don't understand about (reverse-/)proxies and networking in order to get it set up.

    Jump

  • If you're only trying to use Jellyfin at home, you don't need any reverse proxy or domain. All you need is for both devices to be on the same network, and for the Raspberry Pi to have a fixed internal IP address (through your router settings).

    On the Shield, you just give the Jellyfin app that IP address and port number (10.0.0.X:8096) to connect and you're good to go.

  • Raspberry as NAS, multiple HDDs and an enclosure

    Jump

  • For a NAS, you're usually concerned with capacity first. And you can't buy a 20TB m2.

  • Netflix Is Doing Great, So It's Killing Off Its Cheapest Ad-Free Plan for Good

    Jump

  • They're referencing the TRaSH Guides, a great resource for setup and basic tuning of an *arr stack. It's where a lot of people get started.

  • What is a distro with updates of Arch but dependencies of Fedora?

    Jump

  • Automating updates is generally frowned upon, that's when things can break. But waiting to run updates until you feel like it (instead of daily) is totally fine. I've been using Arch and its forks for years, and have always updated once a week unless something was wrong.

  • Own a Roku TV or streaming device? You're about to see a lot more ads on your home screen

    Jump

  • I've used LIRC in the past. Takes a bit of setup, but it works well once you get it going.

  • Own a Roku TV or streaming device? You're about to see a lot more ads on your home screen

    Jump

  • Until then, a Raspberry Pi or SFF PC will do the job just fine. They even work with remotes if you get an IR receiver for them.

  • Canonical's Steam Snap is Causing Headaches for Valve

    Jump

  • It isn't recommended, but dpkg will install it if you really want to. You just need to handle dependencies manually.

    But it's a pretty rare issue. If something isn't available in the official repo, AUR probably has it.

  • Deleted

    Permanently Deleted

    Jump

  • Caller (Phone) has a package available on their github you can grab now, and f-droid should recognize the install once it hits the repos. They're releasing pretty quickly, all things considered.

  • Friendly reminder

    Jump

  • If you're comfortable, you're fine. Anything more would just be to speed up the rebuild, so it's less important if you don't mind taking the time.

  • File size preference for Radarr?

    Jump

  • You got a remux, which is uncompressed. You can turn those off in Radarr to avoid those surprises.

    If you want to fine-tune your file sizes (and quality) further, you can set up custom formats and quality profiles. The Trash Guides explain it well, the "HD Blu-ray + Web" profile on that page is a solid starting point. It'll usually grab 6-12GB movies, but you can tweak it if you want them smaller.

  • Looking for low power devices for selfhosting

    Jump

  • They're also surprisingly easy to upgrade for their size. Swapped RAM, CPU, and hard drive in about 15 minutes total on one of mine.
