then its not selfhosting.
Comment on ELI5: How to put several servers on one external IP?
Allero@lemmy.today 2 days agoYes, I know where this feature is in the settings, but it’s got its own issues and I also turn the NAS off for the night, so it’s not an option for me.

In what way? It is a physical server located in my bedroom, sharing resources online.

Dude above you over is under the perception that it requires 100% uptime or other users to to be classified, which is wrong. You are definitely self hosting, albeit only for yourself I assume. Which is fine
yournamehere@lemm.ee 1 day ago
yes. i ment the uptime. to me hosted means i can reach it in a digital way any time even if it is just wake on lan. but if you guys say some device running 8hrs a day is hosting I am fine with that.

Yep, sharing stuff for others requires more expertise, as I’ll get responsible for other people’s experience. If I screw something up now, only I will be affected.

Why do you turn off the NAS at night? Reminds me of my grandparents turning off the wifi at night.
Allero@lemmy.today 2 days ago
Drives are somewhat noisy (even though I took fairly quiet ones) and I appreciate total silence at night.
I’d love to move to SSDs for storage at some point, but for now it’s too expensive.
Joelk111@lemmy.world 2 days ago
Ahh, that’s valid. I’ve been wanting to build a (relatively) small 16TB SSD NAS for video editing, after which I could dump footage to my main NAS. SSD NAS systems can definitely make sense depending on your use case. Hell, you can even game off of them if you’ve got 10gig networking.

I’d love to eventually have that :)
I’d also love to explore the technology going into cloud gaming, so not only would I launch games using files laying on the server, but could actually play them everywhere on my energy efficient potato laptop :D
But that’s long ahead and more of an “if it even works properly”
