Plus, ZFS supports native encryption!
Hmm, I think that was the one I was wondering about. I use Gentoo, and when I was initially setting everything up on my machine, I saw there were a lot of caveats for using ZFS on linux from the Gentoo wiki entry on it. Maybe that’s changed or those issues are no longer related to native encryption specifically.

Is ZFS on Linux getting better? I’ve heard mixed things. I use BTRFS on my daily driver, and I really like (ab)using the file compression with zstd.
- Comment on Recommendations for Hardware for Physical Media/Jellyfin Server 6 months ago:
If you are not too stuck on bsd
Not really. It’s more out of the curious of how DragonflyBSDs HAMMER2 filesystem works. I’ve good things about it and ZFS on FreeBSD. ZFS on Linux I’ve heard is still getting up to where it is on FreeBSD.
- Comment on Recommendations for Hardware for Physical Media/Jellyfin Server 6 months ago:
It’s the interest in how well the HAMMER2 filesystem works for everyday storage, as well as how swapcache performs. Not much besides that, plus I’ve generally decent experiences with Net and OpenBSD.

If you’re gonna spend that level of money, you may as well go for an M1 Mac Mini.
I was joking. I don’t feel like shelling out $600 for a starting media server.
- Comment on Recommendations for Hardware for Physical Media/Jellyfin Server 6 months ago:
If you really want Intel, just get an N100 or N300. Low power, Intel HW transcoding on iGPU on Linux kernels 6.3+, and can handle Jellyfin no problem.
Didn’t think about that either. I’m finding I didn’t give this as much thought as I should’ve.
You can get a minipc with everything you for $175 for a no name brand, or maybe $250 for a more well-known brand.
But why do that when I could spend +$600? 😜
- Comment on Recommendations for Hardware for Physical Media/Jellyfin Server 6 months ago:
Good point. So what we’re really talking about then is
- something like a raspberry pi
- 1 or 2 hard drives for base storage
- 1 external hard drive as a backup
- Comment on Recommendations for Hardware for Physical Media/Jellyfin Server 6 months ago:
I don’t think anyone here would recommend BSD
I’m guessing this is due to issues of support, compared to Linux?
- Comment on Recommendations for Hardware for Physical Media/Jellyfin Server 6 months ago:
I mean, right now, that’s definitely not on the table.
4K would be nice, obiviously, but I don’t think I myself am to act nor do I want to act as the alternative to Plex for a bunch of family and friends. 😆
- Comment on Recommendations for Hardware for Physical Media/Jellyfin Server 6 months ago:
I’m beginning to realize I haven’t looked into this as much as I should’ve. 😅 So for most people, with what @AtariDump@lemmy.world has mentioned, a raspberry pi with 1 or multiple hard drives (if you really want) is a good start.
- Comment on Recommendations for Hardware for Physical Media/Jellyfin Server 6 months ago:
As the project mentions:
Even though there are builds available online for these platforms, they are unofficial and from a separate project. If you do encounter issues on these platforms, please ask for support in their respective support channels first.
This that project:

Ah, okay. So, if I understand correctly, unless I’m trying to have Jellyfin do what YouTube does with offering multiple resolutions and bitrates for video, I don’t need to bother with looking for a GPU that’s good at video transcoding?
- Comment on Recommendations for Hardware for Physical Media/Jellyfin Server 6 months ago:
Great point. I don’t know why I didn’t think about that.

- Comment on Introducing Raspberry Pi 5 1 year ago:
Currently, and I could be wrong, the alternative to a Pi 4 now would be a Pine64’s Quartz64 Model B. A Star64 might be interesting, but that’s RISC-V so who knows what OS you could boot on it currently and if it would even be stable.
Plus with the Quartz64 Model B, who knows if you’ll able to get a good case for it. There’s the $28 “Model B” ALUMINUM WATERPROOF ENCLOSURE, but, eh, no thanks. There’s the open enclosure, but that’s also a no for me. I want a case I can hide the device itself, the cables, put a heatsink and fan on, be able to use an SSD with USB connect and connect a power supply all stuffed in a case. Which you can find plenty of for Raspberry Pi’s.
Not to mention the Pi 5 isn’t even out yet, and it’s entirely possible it’ll be better than the Quartz64 Model B, on top of having a ton of accessories. Plus, I can Pi up practically any Pi at the Microcenter or similar store near me as opposed to having to pay for good shipping.
I’m totally for having alternatives to the Pi, heck I might pick up a Quartz64 Model B if I can find a case, but a lot of alternatives don’t have the same support and accessories the Pis do.
- Comment on Do any of you use Raspberry Pi’s ? 1 year ago:
I got a RPi 3B as my Pi-Hole that I’ll eventually use as my Wireguard VPN, too. Hoping to get another Pi device for hosting Jellyfin on.
- Comment on How does the Raspberry Pi 5 compare to the Orange Pi 5? 1 year ago:
Outside of the (theoretical) technical specs of the OPi5 being better, I’ve heard/read mixed things about OPis. Some say they’re a good alternative, some say they’re cheap Chinese-made crap. I’ve had no experience myself, so take it with a grain of salt.
I’m interested to see more data on the RPi5 when it’s out, as to figure out if it’s worth getting over trying an OPi5 for a home media system with Jellyfin.

What do you think we should actually do about those problems? Ask nicer? Vote harder?
I think your rent should be due a week early this month.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 year ago:
because these topics are de facto censored on most of the internet
Complaining about capitalism, landlords and US Politics are censored on most of the internet? Have you been to Reddit or Twitter? And aren’t a bunch of other websites specifically dedicated for discussing specific topics? I.e. modding video games, agriculture/horticulture, etc? Are there like a bunch of bloggers complaining about living in the West that are being censored, or are they just not popular because they’re terrible writers and have 0 reach?
Also no one talks about Linux besides weird and niche communities. It’s not censored either. I say this as a Linux user.
