Unless you want all the other parts of Nextcloud and need the big package. - Comment on ADVICE: Running out of storage 2 days ago:
Just like navidrome it seems like Jellyfin reacts to failed mounts by emptying libraries.
…jellyfin.org/t-solved-network-not-mounted-before…With version 10.11.0 they offer a built in backup system for db/metadata/subtitles though so once access is restored it’s easy to restore any metadata changes you’ve done to your library. (As long as you got a backup since before that is)

Nothing is hard when you know what you’re doing. :)
Being able to completely wipe your compute machine and not worry is nice and imo easier.For only Jellyfin, then I agree - if that is where it stops you could run it all on an N100 integrated motherboard and have a lean sleek system that hosts your files and your streaming server. But when your services starts being too much for the N100 then it’s nice to separate it a bit and for me it feels natural to split it between compute/storage.
- Comment on ADVICE: Running out of storage 2 days ago:
Separating your services from your storage makes things a lot easier in my opinion.
Setup one machine as a NAS and have that manage your (preferably redundant and backuped if storing personal photos or other unique data) storage, then share it to the rest of your selfhosting over nfs and smb.
You could either go for a prebuilt NAS like Ugreen NASync DXP2800 or build your own m-itx with a Jonsbo N2 case and an N100 motherboard or whatever you’re comfortable with.Your jellyfin server then accesses the media libraries with a simple mount (/mnt/media). Same with your tdarr server and tdarr nodes.
It’s much easier to experiment and reinstall services when you have your storage separated from them.I can’t buy a 14tb hdd for that price here in Sweden, but I have no idea about your local prices. Is it new or refurb?

They have a couple of good pages where they define solarpunk, I’ll share a few quotes below too.
wiki.slrpnk.net/articles:whatissolarpunk
wiki.slrpnk.net/articles:manifestoSolarpunk is a rebellion against the structural pessimism in our late visions of how the future will be.
Not to say it replaces pessimism with Pollyanna-ish optimism, but with a cautious hopefulness and a daring to tease out the positive potentials in bad situations.
Hope that perhaps the grounds of an apocalypse (revelation) might also contain the seeds of something better; something more ecological, liberatory, egalitarian, and vibrant than what came before, if we work hard at cultivating those seeds.Solarpunk is a movement in speculative fiction, art, fashion, and activism that seeks to answer and embody the question “what does a sustainable civilization look like, and how can we get there?” […]
- We are solarpunks because optimism has been taken away from us and we are trying to take it back.
2. We are solarpunks because the only other options are denial or despair.
3. At its core, Solarpunk is a vision of a future that embodies the best of what humanity can achieve: a post-scarcity, post-hierarchy, post-capitalistic world where humanity sees itself as part of nature and clean energy replaces fossil fuels.
4. The “punk” in Solarpunk is about rebellion, counterculture, post-capitalism, decolonialism and enthusiasm. It is about going in a different direction than the mainstream, which is increasingly going in a scary direction.

mander.xyz states that the main focus of the instance is the natural sciences, and the scope encompasses all of the STEM fields but do already have !philosophy@mander.xyz, !history@mander.xyz and !linguistics@mander.xyz (although those comms aren’t very active) so I agree it seems to be a good fit.

Update 22:51h: The vote originally scheduled for 14 October will not take place because there is no majority for the proposal. It is likely that the EU Commission will now propose to extend the Chat Control 1.0 regulation currently in force that permits providers to scan our messages (if they choose). An extension of this indiscriminate bulk scanning regime is not acceptable. Scanning under this regulation needs to be targeted and limited to suspects where requested by a judicial authority.

From your description it already sounds like all of it is in the same network?
That cabling you have in the house doesn’t split your network, Router -> CAT6 - CAT6 - CAT6 -> Switch is the same as Router -> CAT6 -> Switch as far as your equipment is concerned.This is oversimplified but catches most network topologies (including yours it seems):

- Comment on Custom Firewall 2 weeks ago:
Isnt opnsense only for bsd? I am running linux.
opnsense is bsd based yes, you can either run it on it’s own hardware in front of your server or you can run it as a virtual machine and passthrough your hosts network ports to it for WAN/LAN. - Comment on Custom Firewall 2 weeks ago:
When using a vpn server, only I could access the services right?
You can easily setup vpn users for friends/family but a random person on the internet won’t reach your services if you block access from WAN and forces everyone to go through the vpn server.
- Comment on Custom Firewall 2 weeks ago:
Your services would first of all need some sort of integration to report failed authentication attempts to your firewall or you wouldn’t have anything to act on to start the block. Sounds complicated.
If I were you I would ponder if it wouldn’t be easier to just setup a headscale/wireguard/openvpn server and connect to your other services through that.
My favourite home firewall right now would be opnsense

Having the motion sensor trigger saving local recordings is an idea that have gotten a positive dev response.
github.com/themactep/thingino-firmware/…/289I can’t find any discussions about accessing recordings using ONVIF or the tinycam app and don’t have any cams running personally.
I am planning on using thingino with frigate nvr and network storage later on so thanks for sharing your experience!

Yikes, the game is just as fast as quake 3 if not faster. I found myself relying on a shotgun to hit those pesky aliens because everyone runs fast. I played with bots but I think it would be a great game to startup at a LAN for some fun.

- Comment on [deleted] 4 weeks ago:
What I like about running a hypervisor and true vms is that I can fool around with some vms in my server without risk of disrupting the others.
I run most of my dockers in one VM, my game servers in another and the Jellyfin instance on a third. That allows me to fool around with my portainer instance or game servers without disrupting Jellyfin and so on.
Part of it is that I’m more used to and comfortable in managing vms and their backup/recovery compared to LXCs and Dockers.

I’ve never tried Arch but my debian server with kvm/qemu/cockpit running mdraid1 and smb/nfs file sharing - works well enough and I enjoy the tinkering and setting it all up. I’m writing this from a virtual Fedora KDE workstation that I’ve setup vfio and pcie passthrough of my dgpu and a usb controller on (both connected to my monitor that acts as a usb hub).
A friend runs a Proxmox VE Community Edition with physical disk passthrough to a virtual Nextcloud server and that seems to work well too.
I guess my answer is no, I don’t look at UnRAID and think “fuck this shit I’m done”, I enjoy the tinkering that makes you frustrated.May I ask what kind of brick walls you’re hitting and what software you run on Arch that makes it so frustrating?
- Comment on The word "antihero" has really lost its meaning 4 weeks ago:
Shrek is a big mean ogre who wants to get rid of the fairy tale creatures dumped in his swamp and in order to get rid of them he accepts a deal that he first has to rescue a princess.
While I agree he definitely starts out as an antihero I’m not certain I agree that it’s the rough, uncouth or ugly characteristics that makes him one but rather what drives him (“I want my peaceful swamp back!” isn’t exactly an altruistic quest). But then, the definition of what a hero is isn’t exactly clear either which makes defining the antihero all the more difficult.
Scholars have not yet reached a consensus about how heroes should be defined, which hinders theory development, hypothesis- testing, and communication with various target audiences (e.g., Rozin, 2009).
In recent psychological literature, heroes have been described as persons who: are willing to risk and to make sacrifices for others (Becker & Eagly, 2004); resist external pressures of conformity (Zimbardo, 2007); protect and promote the well-being of future generations (McAdams, 2008); persist in the face of failure (Ko, 2007); demonstrate moral will, the desire to do good for others, and moral skill, the capacity to do the right thing in a particular situation (Schwartz, 2009).
These varied definitions evidence a lack of consistency in conceptualizing heroes within psychology. We argue that these definitions, at least at the individual level, lack sufficient rigor and coverage (Gregg, Hart, Sedikides, & Kumashiro, 2008).
[…]
To our knowledge, three studies adopted a free-response format to study conceptions of heroes.
In 1997, Gash and Conway asked 700 children in Ireland and the United States to identify the features of heroes. Participants named their hero and described their hero’s features. The 24 features were: active, beautiful, brilliant, brainy, brave, caring, confident, dresses well, famous, friendly, funny, good, gentle, good-looking, helpful, honest, important, kind, loving, loyal, rich, skillful, strong, and warrior.
Further, Sullivan and Venter (2010) asked American college students to identify one hero and to provide descriptive words to explain why. Participants were provided with an example: “Hero: George Washington, U.S. President; Reasons: Honest, intelligent, great leader, brave” (p. 475). The features that emerged were: intelligent, loving, religious, caring, leader, talented, hardworking, motivated, role-model, and creative. Demand features may be reflected in the results due to use of an example prior to the free-responses.
Allison and Goethals (2011) asked American college students to list the traits that they use to describe heroes. Then, another group of students sorted the traits and revealed eight trait clusters: smart, strong, selfless, caring, charismatic, resilient, reliable, and inspiring.- Zeroing in on Heroes: A Prototype Analysis of Hero Features - page 115

- Comment on Unifying the Fediverse 4 weeks ago:
Yeah, with the way the ActivityPub works right now I imagine the only working solution would be a UI Wrapper that allows you to login at all the different instances you wanna use and get a somewhat unified UI for them.
I wouldn’t be surprised if it would end up about as unified as the Microsoft 365 admin centres though. (That is, not very).The other option I can think about is if someone designs a backend database that can be used to unify multiple services run by the same admin to allow the same login for all fediverse services hosted by that admin (f.e. mastodon.world, lemmy.world, friendica.world using the same user database and requiring only a single sign on) but that wouldn’t truly solve it either if we talk about a consistent UI.
- Comment on The word "antihero" has really lost its meaning 4 weeks ago:
I know you wanted to focus on comics, but if we step out of that genre for a second we’ll find that “a bad guy doing good things” is the original usage of the term, minted in 1714
For me personally I’ve always thought of the antihero as either someone who does good but for the wrong reasons or someone who strives for a goal that is good, but uses means that isn’t.
I’d say the Punisher fits the first definition well and Dexter Morgan more the second. - Comment on Security camera recommendations? 4 weeks ago:
