Probably before they got greedy and decided pursuing overseas students for the higher fees was a long term sustainable business choice.
- Comment on Has anyone tried the new Resilio Sync 3? 4 weeks ago:
One other nice thing with Resilio Sync is that it supports selective sync on an easy per-folder/file basis. While you can sort of do this with Syncthing by using ignore lists, it’s much easier with Resilio since you can just right-click/open files you want to keep on your device.
- Comment on Do you selfhost your own blog/website? 1 month ago:
I self host a Wordpress site that mostly acts as my design portfolio.
It’s hosted in a Debian VM on a restricted VLAN with caddy handling SSL certificates. Uptime isn’t a huge concern for me since it’s nothing mission critical. It all sits behind a free Cloudflare proxy which allows for my home IP to be hidden.
I think as far as safety goes, I’m comfortable with this setup.
- Comment on You have the right to disconnect from work after hours from today. But what does that mean in practice? 2 months ago:
I think the aim for this law is to make it easier to empower employees to say ‘no’ with the risk of high fines as a deterrent. Whether it makes a difference or whether employers will simply force you to agree to contact outside of work hours via updated job contracts, is anyone’s guess.

Don’t they do this every year? They go from counting total medals or they then switch to total gold - whatever metric puts them at the top.

The next release of TrueNAS SCALE in October is dropping Kubernetes in favour of plain Docker/Docker Compose. That may be worth a look?

You could probably make it work, but comments could be difficult to include.

- Comment on Proxmox bind mounts is a nightmare for user permissions 4 months ago:
Sage advice.
I went through the same thing and eventually reached the conclusion that a VM really is the best method. I did get a working LXC Docker setup going, but I could just not get it to be as stable as a VM long-term.

When did you last use FreshRSS? It now supports creation of custom feeds using XPath scraping.

That’s good to hear. Looks like something worth revisiting once it’s been tested well.

- Comment on Am I the only one who missed the Owncloud rewrite in Go? 4 months ago:
I would have used Owncloud Infinite Scale but the fact you can’t use your own existing files makes it a complete non-starter for me. I don’t want my files locked behind Decomposed FS.
Unless I’ve read things wrong, which is entirely possible.

I’d get a taxi if there was surge pricing in effect.
- Comment on ‘My whole library is wiped out’: what it means to own movies and TV in the age of streaming services 6 months ago:
Another thing to add - these services can’t use the word ‘buy’ because that implies ownership. They should be forced to use a word like ‘rent’.
- Comment on Jellyfin | "We are pleased to announce the latest stable release of Jellyfin, version 10.9.0!" 6 months ago:
Unless I’m missing something, you can’t have multiple user profiles.
I use Infuse on my Apple TV with Plex Media Server as the backend.
- Comment on Jellyfin | "We are pleased to announce the latest stable release of Jellyfin, version 10.9.0!" 6 months ago:
Jellyfin server isn’t lacking, but the weak point is definitely client software, especially on iOS. Unfortunately they just don’t have the same kind of resources Plex do in that regard.
I run Plex and Jellyfin, with watched status between the two synchronised with jellyplex-watched.
- Comment on Finally got my server to work properly. (Routing with custom local domain instead of ports) 6 months ago:
You could use split DNS on your router (or wherever your DNS is) so that when you visit the syncthing address on your local network, you’re being directed to traefik.
- Comment on N100 Media Serving Efficiency with Quick Sync 6 months ago:
One caveat worth noting is that as soon as subtitle burn-in comes into play (especially at 4K), then you’ll easily hit 100% CPU usage and encounter stutters. It’s less of an issue if you’re using good clients and have control over that, but may be a problem if you’re sharing with your family and they have problematic playback clients.
- Comment on Migrate from nextcloud photo backups to immich? 7 months ago:
Did you try out Nextcloud AIO instead of setting it up manually?
I agree that NC has a lot of problems. It’s a good example of an application that tries to do everything and unsurprisingly doesn’t do many things truly well.
My main problems with Syncthing is that there’s no official iOS client and that there’s no easy selective sync (Resilio can do this) - using ignorelists gets annoying if you’ve got a large folder structure and many files/folders that you selectively need to sync.
- Comment on Network loss after 24hrs on Docker LXC 7 months ago:
There are some quirks with docker in LXC. Nothing that can’t be overcome, but docker in a VM is definitely more stable.
- Comment on Network loss after 24hrs on Docker LXC 7 months ago:
Ideally I would, but I don’t have the time to manage 30 different containers.
When I didn’t have kids, I ran everything in separate LXCs. I decided to just move everything to Docker and move on with my life.
- Comment on Network loss after 24hrs on Docker LXC 7 months ago:
Not OP, but I run Docker in LXC because my Proxmox host is an Intel NUC and I only have one graphics card (integrated).
I don’t want to passthrough the iGPU to a VM because then I lose video output for the host. I also don’t want to use SR-IOV for iGPU because it’s buggy and results in garbled output for HDR content. That’s why, in my case, Docker in LXC makes sense.
- Comment on Migrate from nextcloud photo backups to immich? 7 months ago:
I went into Nextcloud expecting to have a terrible experience, especially with slow syncing speeds which seem to be a persistent complaint.
I was pleasantly surprised that syncing for my 3TB dataset which is a mix of documents, design work, photography, and videos, has worked just as quickly as Syncthing and Resilio Sync on local gigabit network.
I run Nextcloud AIO on TrueNAS SCALE in a systemd-nspawn container with ncdata bind mount from NVME and the rest of the data using External Storage plugin locally.
I only use Nextcloud for Memories (photo app), file syncing and file sharing, so my usage of it is relatively light.
- Comment on I have a IBM eServer xSeries 346, does anyone has experience with the ServeRaid-7k, to create a RAID array? Also, you can ask me anything about this 2005 beast! 7 months ago:

I imagine if someone had to do it this way for whatever reason, Thunderbolt would be more reliable? Assuming it’s true Thunderbolt using a SATA bridge?
- Comment on [deleted] 7 months ago:
Would there be any technical reason why those logs aren’t displayed in an easy to view location in the UI? I’ve come across too many instances of a TN/Kubernetes app that’s been rubbing perfectly fine for days and it suddenly gets stuck deploying. I feel like with regular docker it’s much easier to troubleshoot.
- Comment on What is a simple server solution for Jellyfin and Nextcloud? 7 months ago:
I’m guessing you want an all-in-one server setup for NAS duties and services?
UnRAID is probably the simplest from a management point of view for storage and docker.
If you’d prefer something free, then OpenMediaVault works great. It can handle storage (Linux MD-RAID, BTRFS, ZFS, or mergerfs + SnapRAID) and compute tasks like VMs and Docker/Docker Compose all from a web interface. The only problems I’ve encountered with OMV is trying to click through configuration changes too fast and getting ‘stuck’ in a loop of applying conflicting changes. As long as you wait a second or two after hitting OK/apply on things, then you’re good.

- Comment on My take on selfhosted photo management 8 months ago:
XMP is the most used format.
The way XMP files are read entirely depends on the software you’re using. Some will write adjustment metadata into XMP (Adobe does this) whereas others write that into their proprietary format and use XMP for other metadata.
