• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ADVICE: Running out of storage⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Do you have room for a HDD? Power budget, monetary budget, SATA ports?

  The good thing is that a mechanical HDD is still loads faster than needed for serving media, unless you’re hitting massive user numbers, so there’s usually no need to put media on expensive SSDs.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s not the reason. There are a lot of people driving in Tokyo anyway.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Immich 2.1 Released with Better Slideshow Shuffle, New Notifications⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Which isn’t a great idea with all the breaking changes. I’d assume it gets better after v2, but still.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It would be wasted time. Block and move on.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Non-Win-11 PCs to keep my eyes out for to convert into a NAS?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  While any machine that provides storage through the network can be a NAS, you’ll probably want at least some level of extendability. Your biggest problem with OEM machines (think Dell, HP, Lenovo) will be s lack of SATA ports, in combination with not enough power outlets and not enough space to put the actual disks in the case.

  That’s the reason I usually build my own machines for those purposes, and depending on what’s needed you don’t even need high-end parts, at least for a “NAS-only NAS”. My NAS works on a 2 core/ 4 thread Intel i3, which will be enough for the foreseeable future. But it also only provides storage, all the rest (self hosting my services) happens on another machine.

  TrueNAS works well for me as a NAS OS. AS far as I’ve seen it also provides direct container support or virtual machines. It you want an all-in-one machine, that might be worth looking into.

  Boycotts in general do work, absolutely. But it has to be a near-complete boycott, e.g. 90+% participation. Just a few will never work.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My first jellyfin setup⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  H.264 for DVD content is perfectly fine. H.265 will save a little storage, but that’s basically it.

  If you need to go outside your network it will suddenly be a lot more effort. I’d suggest a Wireguard tunnel, but in theory you could also open up the server to the internet. But you better know what you’re doing in that case.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My first jellyfin setup⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Transcoding is taking an already encoded file, e.g. in H.265 and “re-encoding” it to something else, e.g. to H.264.

  This is usually done for clients that cannot natively play back the originally encoded files, or for reasons like bandwidth restrictions, subtitles, etc.

  In theory you can get around that by originally encoding your DVDs to a format which all of your devices can play natively. Nowadays, on most modern devices you should be good with H.265. Best way would be simply to try: encode, copy over, play.

  H.264 is supported by basically every not ancient device.

  Remote streaming inside the same network is as easy as pointing the Android app to the server and logging in.

  Check out Dockge

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New home server, NixOS vs Proxmox vs Arch⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Cut out the middleman and go Debian on bare metal?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Should 21-23-year-olds be allowed to date older people?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  …they are?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do bots/scrapers check uncommon ports?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There is no hiding in that sense. Bots will scan all IPs on all ports over time.

  Will it be less on nonstandard ports? Likely. Will it matter? Not really, the attack vectors would be exactly the same.

  Secure your systems and running on default or nonstandard ports won’t be an issue.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Are you high?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Docker dashboards: choice overload⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I use a combination of Dockge, diun with notify and Beszel for managing update notifications, stacks and container usage.

  It will certainly not fit all of your requirements, but it’s a not too complicated setup which gets me the most important infos.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Depends. For getting teased by other kids? Absolutely.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is "mythology" in the public domain in the first place?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Can you explain what you mean?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Any tool to visualize Traefik access logs?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Goaccess reads the Traefik log and spits out an HTML file you can then serve via e.g. Nginx. Works for me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Securing a 'public' service for family⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Realistically though, you could still use a VPN and have it be pretty easy for your family members IF you have access to their router console and IF said router supports network wide wireguard or openVPN connections. Having both networks tied in to eachother that way makes it so that nobody ever has to use a VPN client to connect, but still only devices from their network (or yours) will be able to connect.

  Realistically this plan dies the moment someone takes their phone outside of the WiFi range. It’s fine in theory, but fails miserably in non-techie real life.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does putting clothes in the closet protect them from dust, or is the dust in there too?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  There will be dust in there too, just not as much as leaving them out.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is the colour of sunlight different in every country?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Angle (also dependent on time of day), air pollution, weather. And that’s only the “natural” part, most cameras will do auto-whitebalance, which doesn’t necessarily reflect the actual color of “white” at that moment.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  What a fantastic way to destroy the meds.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨RPGs that are optionally pacifist?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Kingdom Come: Deliverance has an achievement for a main quest line pacifist run. There is one NPC you have to kill for story reasons which apparently doesn’t count towards that achievement.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  They’re pretty big in Europe and fine.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If money is no issue then yeah, sounds good.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do I manage docker&Traefik behind a reverse proxy not on docker.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  There is no need to run Traefik if you already have a working reverse proxy. Also, unless your nginx is running on non-standard ports, the ports 80 and 443 should not be available for traefik, which will prevent it from working correctly.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨OwnCloud CardDAV is frozen⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You can narrow it down: attach to the container, this’ll give you a life “feed” of all messages the container produces. Then with that running, open your app and see if the container has anything to say about the sync process.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨OwnCloud CardDAV is frozen⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  As always: have you checked the logs?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anyone use Hetzner Storage Box to backup their Synology NAS?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Not for a Synology, but I doubt Hetzner cares where the data comes from. Works well, especially once you got the keys in place. Have stored and restored, it’s a simple file storage.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Do you think the fediverse has a civility problem

  This has little to do with the Fediverse itself and mostly with the people involved. It would be the same on any other platform, so simply switching the software stack or whatever would do exactly zilch.

  A fraction of people are going to be assholes. Sad bit inevitable.

  and is there anything we can do about it?

  You can ban the dickheads, but that’ll only get you so far.
