- 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.

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.
- Comment on Do boycotts work? 2 weeks ago:
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

Cut out the middleman and go Debian on bare metal?

…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.

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.

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.

They’re pretty big in Europe and fine.

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.
