Comment on First server: Buying hardware in a developing country
Dagnet@lemmy.world 10 hours agoThanks for being the only one here that is actually commenting on hardware choices, everyone else is trying to convince me to try stuff I already tried haha
I might just splurge and get one of those drives afterall, hopefully they go on sale at some point

lol! Well its always a good idea to see if what you currently have works well enough. Then splurge on the fun..i mean expensive things. But that doesn't always work, so I hope the new parts serve you well!
One last thing to note, Jellyfin doesn't have the best authentication coverage. iirc its possible to leak some metadata about videos, music, etc... I'd recommend either not keeping the server public facing (i.e. use a vpn to connect to it remotely) or don't store anything personally identifying on it.
I just tunnel my traffic through tailscale, while annoying at times has been reliable. But I'm not sure thats available in Brazil.
