- Comment on Any suggestions on how to better automate subtitle fetching? (Jellyfin, Sonarr) 3 hours ago:
Came here to bring up Bazarr. Its the only *arr I haven’t open up since initial deployment and setup. Its only failed me on a couple of media items so far so that’s like…99.9997% success without me even touching anything
- Comment on Best practice for connecting lots of HDD to motherboards with few SATA ports? 3 days ago:
That sent me down a rabbit hole and I learned a lot, thank you
- Comment on 100 killed in one day including children queuing for water in Gaza 1 week ago:
Seems that way
- Comment on 100 killed in one day including children queuing for water in Gaza 2 weeks ago:
I’d say its boring due to its predictable downward trajectory
- Comment on how to start with self-hosting? 2 weeks ago:
Hosting isn’t OS specific, and in my experience its more about docker. But as far OS goes, I’d say Debian or Ubuntu with the intent of moving onto something like Proxmox
- Comment on bet you can think of more 2 weeks ago:
The truth nobody wants to hear. We need an incorruptible successor to the internet, and until then I’ll be spending as much time offline as I can
- Comment on Help setting up a selfhosted VPN at home 4 weeks ago:
Gluetun is a great example of “I changed nothing and it suddenly works”. I’ve had to set up this exact docker container several times, and it usually takes me a week of retries until it chooses to work. I wish I had better advice for you
- Comment on Homarr - A modern and easy to use dashboard. 30+ integrations. 10K+ icons built in. Authentication out of the box. No YAML, drag and drop configuration. 4 weeks ago:
If any of you can get the Pi-hole integration to work, let me know how you did it. There’s a github thread about it, but I haven’t heard any progress
- Comment on ‘An uphill battle’: why are midlife men struggling to make – and keep – friends? 2 months ago:
That doesn’t sound like low standards to me, sounds sane and inviting
- Comment on What is a micro-retirement? Inside the latest Gen Z trend 2 months ago:
Depends on the job, it’s not guaranteed nor is it legally protected (it is on paper, not in practice)
- Comment on Outgrown my Synology NAS, time for a proper dedicated machine 2 months ago:
So I’m expecting a max of 5 concurrent users, but most wouldn’t need transcoding. The real hiccup (brace yourself) is a 720p CRT and (assuming I get transcoding to work well) a 480p CRT. I’m pretty novice to PC specs outside of the “buy whatever you can afford for gaming” mindset, so any suggestions there are welcome. My budget is…whatever it takes to not regret the hardware years from now. My last build was $2k for reference
- Comment on Outgrown my Synology NAS, time for a proper dedicated machine 2 months ago:
That’s my goal: use the NAS as a NAS, use a computer for containers and the like. I’m using Seagate Exos for the NAS exclusively
- Comment on Outgrown my Synology NAS, time for a proper dedicated machine 2 months ago:
In hindsight, I didn’t explain myself well enough. My plan is to use my current NAS as a NAS and little more; I’d like a machine with respectable hardware to handle what my NAS is currently running plus more.
My NAS has Jellyfin, arrs, all the stuff that goes with that, Pi-hole, and Homarr. And that’s pushing its limits: everything has been slow, streams freeze, I’ve had containers quit, etc.
I’d like to get into other projects like Radicale, Mealie, ErsatzTV (old PC could handle it, NAS can’t), CCTV, and more. But according to my resources, the NAS can’t handle it
GPU (for the sake of transcoding) isn’t worth it?
- Comment on Outgrown my Synology NAS, time for a proper dedicated machine 2 months ago:
Good looking out, I had no idea that was an option
- Comment on Outgrown my Synology NAS, time for a proper dedicated machine 2 months ago:
That’s a great question…redundant ports and all that
- Comment on Outgrown my Synology NAS, time for a proper dedicated machine 2 months ago:
Thanks, that’s some of the info I’m needing to make the jump over. How’s the learning curve? One of my big concerns is wrapping all of these things under Tailscale. It was easy on Synology, but Proxmox (I imagine) isn’t as straightforward. Eventually, I’d like to switch to headscale, but one thing at a time
- Comment on Outgrown my Synology NAS, time for a proper dedicated machine 2 months ago:
It’s 4 bays, and we’re eating that space up quicker than I imagined

- Comment on YSK that military members cannot simply defy orders they object to 2 months ago:
UCMJ says otherwise. But in practice, I can tell you from experience that the consequences for any kind of refusal will be treated as mutiny and could cost you the rest of your professional life

What do ya know, yet another day of being happy I never invested in Plex

As someone that struggles with networking, I’d love to hear what you’ve found and how
- Comment on YSK that a new internet/account bypass during Windows 11 installs already exists. Here is a 7 step guide. 5 months ago:
Just turned a Win10 machine into Ubuntu not too long ago. It took all day, broke several times, and still has issues booting remotely. It is getting easier, but a 30 minute Windows install with a few button presses is still easier, unfortunately
- Comment on pi-hole and pi-vpn with own domain name 5 months ago:
I have remote users, and I’m hosting several services through it. It wouldn’t be pretty, but we’d survive
- Comment on pi-hole and pi-vpn with own domain name 5 months ago:
Fair enough
- Comment on pi-hole and pi-vpn with own domain name 5 months ago:
This is the first I’ve heard of Tailscale=/=infallible. As a long-time user, should I switch to a different setup?
- Comment on Starting to self host 6 months ago:
If you look up “Dr. Frankenstein Discord” you’ll find the community that helped me get familiar with Docker. As in, several people held my hands for about 2 weeks non-stop. I can’t tell you enough how much I love that group. But containers aren’t the only way to go.
I hear people talking about Proxmox a lot, and it seems (as far as I can tell) to be one of the easiest platforms for hosting many services one a machine. Next computer I set up, I’ll be going that route.
Regardless of how you do it, the knowledge base and skills mostly transfer like a Venn diagram. The most important pieces to get started are hardware and patience. Everything else can be solved with online teamwork

I saved the post because I’ve always been interested in aggregating a RSS feed, but I need ideas for what to subscribe to. Thanks for making the post

I was just looking into this yesterday. I’d love to hear if it’s worth the hassle. People seem to be 50/50 on its long-term usefulness, “just use _____!”
- Comment on What's up, selfhosters? - Sunday thread 6 months ago:
I’m an idiot so it took me about 3 frustrating years to get all the docker containers working. Worth it every day
