  • We're never going to have better internet in the USA, are we?

    Jump

  • Crappy (30-40mbit/sec) but uncapped FTTC here, plus 5G FVA at 300mbit/sec but 1Tb monthly cap here.

    Combining both and separating heavy traffic (fucking fortnite and many steam big games) on the crappy uncapoed, and arr'ing too, leaves tons of data for high speed anything.

    Total cost? 22€ + 24€ = 46€/month, no surprises. A lot more expensive than having fiber indeed, but I am deep into the woods, so.

    Ah, and when i go over my 1Tb data cap on the FVA, I get throttled to 6mbit/sec, nothing extra to pay.

  • Add a discrete GPU or not?

  • If and when, I will have plenty of time to migrate. I hate plexification and will indeed switch to emby IF and WHEN.

    So far, seems jellyfin is under a copyleft license, so unless they break it, I think I am fine.

    And sincerely, jellyfin totally rocks.

  • Is jellyfin getting enshittified? Why you say that? Doesn't seems like its following plex

  • Could be an interesting project tough, will definitely think about that. Not top priority, but why not since the hardware its free?

  • Thanks!

    Both the 2060 and the 1060 don't support AV1 either way, so I guess its pointless to me.

  • Cool idea!

  • Yeah look like a lot... Probably not worth it.

  • Does Caddy or Traefik get me anything I don't already have?

  • Not depend on a specific corporation to access all your services for one.

    A reverse proxy (I use nginx) will let you centralize certificates and allow the use of subdomains easily, without depending from a specific service provider like cloudflare.

    Looks like you are are a lucky american with access to a real IP address, good for you, a luxury nowadays where CG-NAT is common place everywhere.

    Opening a port is not even possible where I live.

  • Immich vs. PhotoPrism

    Jump

  • I am not using either. Sync via syncthing and web interface via Photo view. More basic, but fits my bill.

    I manually sort synched photos into folders for photoview to pick them up.

    Just food for thoughts.

  • Using refurbished HDDs in my livingroom NAS

    Jump

  • I have been far luckier than that all my life, I never had a drive fail on me, and I keep them a looong time.

    Maybe once, 20 years ago, a drive failed? Can't really remember, but probably it did happen. Being on a Linux software RAID 1, just remove and plug a new drive, run an attach command and forget.

  • Using refurbished HDDs in my livingroom NAS

    Jump

  • I have 4 6Tb HDDs which I got new from work: been running 24/7 for the last 6 years.

    The 4Tb drives they replaced where running for the previous 10 years (bought new as well) and are still in a drawer, got replaced only for the opportunity to upgrade to 6tb.

    If your refurbished last only 4 years, to be that is not a positive gain, you lost money. New drives should last 10 years in my personal (and debatable) experience. But I think those drives you bought will last more than 4 years.

  • Simple Minimal Backup Solution

    Jump

  • Restic or Borg. For restic I use the great Backrest web GUI.

    I mounted an USB drive to one of my OpenWRT access points and backup on that one.

    Rclone or fuse can mount/access Google Drive and can be used as back end for your backup choice.

    Simplest backup ever: restic/Borg on a folder on the same PC. Not very recommendable, but indeed a good starting point.

    Zfs/brtfs seems a complex solution for a simple problem. True is that once you start eating you get hungrier so maybe worthwhile.

  • How Will Synology's HVEC Removal in DSM 7.2 effect me?

    Jump

  • Their box is not going to play those videos, so AV1 is game.

    Anyway software playback of AV1 is a thing, and works, you know.

    A little bit day by day.

  • Looking for help/guidance on how to setup a server for a business

    Jump

  • I have been hosting my mail server for over 10 years. You need to study dkim, dmark and all the other stuff, but it can be done indeed and its not scary at all.

  • Is Mac Mini suitable for self-hosted server?

    Jump

  • If the price is right for you, go for it. You will run containers and or VMs, so doesn't really matter what your bare metal is.

    I would choose something where I can install Linux easily and nice and I am sure at the Mac mini price point you can build yourself an assembled mini-pc with beefer specs, but indeed it's more work and hassle.

    YMMV

  • Recode to AV1, free and open codec with a better compression and quality than 265.

    Its future proof and more and more supported out of the box everywhere.

    Either go tdarr, or check https://github.com/gardiol/media_fixer for a neat bash script capable of find and convert your videos automatically

  • Anyone self-hosting ActualBudget? (with connection to bank)

    Jump

  • I do. I find it very useful.

    Is it safe? No idea, but its read only, so seems that they cannot operate on your bank account in any case. That feels safe enough for me.
