I have used this card for a couple years.

Pros:

• five m.2 sata slots
• single slot pcie, and short / not extending past top of slot
• incredibly cheap
• mine has been reliable
• no extra power needed
• no pcie bifurcation or other special motherboard features required (works in anything)
• the individual drives do show up as individual drives in Debian for me and can be accessed separately (not a hardware raid card)

Cons:

• pcie 3.0x2 speed in an x16 slot (2GBps)
• doesn’t support m.2 pci
• doesn’t support booting from the installed drives

If all you’re looking for is cheap, quiet, storage, and you don’t mind losing out on total read/write speeds, thisll actually do great just about anywhere.

Love the art on the website. I’m not sure that the article actually says anything about the titular subject though.

Enforce the usual quality rules and most all llm results will be banned by default. Technically, you could try banning llm work by default, but that just results in people lying, and having to check over llm work anyways.

But yeah, OP. You can’t reliably stop web scrapers from stealing your data. You can only make more difficult and costly to do so, at the expense of your own server, and in the case of anubis, at the expense of your real users.

I plan on switching to a RPI hosted website at some point, so I can add either iocaine or nepanthes to my website. Might as well make most of the data from my website poison to all the scrapers when I get the chance.

Yeah. The corporations with money are always going to beat the casual users without in regards to processing capability.

There are smarter ways to discourage the big companies from taking pictures of your house than by adding speed bumps to your driveway.

POW built in to the web spec would be hell. Making every single device in the world do that extra bit of work would noticeably affect energy use across the planet.

The average spotify 3:40 song is going to be about 4MB. This only changes to triple (10MB at the same length for premium and high quality) that size when you pay for it.

If Spotify is using more than 50MB on the audio cache, they absolutely deserve to get ragged on for it.

Yep. https://fedia.io/m/selfhosted@lemmy.world/t/3090624/Decreasing-Certificate-Lifetimes-to-45-Days/comment/13237364#entry-comment-13237364

What you’re talking about has existed for decades at this point. Most grey/black hat forums rightfully ban collective ddos tools when they see them. Turns out that the difference between duplicating a copyrighted work, and actively attacking a private server are vastly different, legally speaking, and get prosecuted a lot more forcefully when found.

My dns config options always have at least two spots. Obviously, this means I need two piholes to fill them both up.

More seriously, it has actually saved my network from going down a couple times already.

Me too, honestly. Finally found something that was actually a joy to share.

When you do get around to changing the graphics, maybe you can ditch the ovaries and uterus look of the logo.

Lmao I hadn’t even noticed, but yes, definitely that.

Honestly? Don’t do the whole switch, or even a big switch from a few services to another.

Start small. Very small. Try doing just one service you rely on, like your images or music. Immich just announced their first stable release. I use navidrome for my music. Make sure to test these on a copy of your data, not your actual data.

Once you’ve got one service working as you want it to do, then you can try your hand at another service. This way, you don’t get stuck trying to do everything all at once.

It may be worth considering how much (if any) you want to spend at the start, too. That’ll inform your next immediate task; setting up basic backups for your data. A spare drive is a good start, but it may be worth keeping another one at your parents house, or similar.

You can switch to windows 10 ltsc and keep getting updates for seven more years.

If you aren’t transcoding, and the player is taking too long to cache the video before starting, you might be having some sort of storage issue. You would need to try a couple of different things to figure out what, specifically, is taking so long to send the video out.

The first thing that comes to mind is that your storage is on an SSD, and it is nearly full. An SSD that is nearly full will usually perform much much worse than it would if it had more space to work with. https://pureinfotech.com/why-solid-state-drive-ssd-performance-slows-down/

The next thing that comes to mind is that your files are stored on the same drive that jellyfin transcodes onto, and it is not using an SSD. If you have jellyfin reading from a single drive, jellyfin encoding to that same drive, and also everything else also running, you might be causing your hard drive to seek a lot in order to get everything up and running. You could test this by changing the jellyfin transcode location to a different storage device.

I’ve also found that page and video loading times tend to be directly affected by the storage medium’s seek times. If you had jellyfin installed on the same hard drive as your videos, it will be slower than if you had installed jellyfin on a ssd separate from the drive you store your videos on. This one wouldn’t likely result in minute loading times though.

You should not be having transcode issues with anything less than four concurrent streams on that server. https://www.reddit.com/r/PleX/comments/1ae6683/intel_n100_vs_ryzen_7_1700_1st_gen_an_interesting/

It’s likely that you have hardware transcoding disabled. Enable it, and these issues should go away. This forum post has good settings in jellyfin for an n100, https://forum.jellyfin.org/t-solved-correct-transcoding-settings-for-the-n100-processor

You should be able to find instructions for enabling hardware encoding in your bios by searching for it with your specific device model.

*edit

Handbrake does a bad job of explaining the difference between software encoding and hardware encoding. Or at least, it felt that way to me when I last used it. You likely were trying to software encode your videos, which, while theoretically makes the end result better quality, definitely won’t be quick on an n100. You’ll want to pick the option that has intel quicksync/qsv in it in order to get the most speed out of your handbrake encodes. https://www.reddit.com/r/handbrake/comments/z2m814/comment/kxu2a8x/

I wasn’t there for it, but this opinion piece has a pretty good story about the whole thing. https://ploum.net/2023-06-23-how-to-kill-decentralised-networks.html

Basically, once Google had most of the regular users, and had convinced many of the XMPP users to switch to them, they just cut off support for xmpp, effectively neutering any growth it may have had without their influence.

To compare that to webp, it would be pretty easy for them to fork their webp into a closed source “2.0” and most everyone would be switched over to that version without even having a say in it. Sure, original WebP would still exist, but since nobody uses/supports it, it’s basically dead in the water anyways. This sounds awful and unlikely, but it’s literally in their playbook, and it is a thing they have done several times. Android, chrome, XMPP, etc…

It’s just as likely that Google keeps WebP as open standard for all time as it is that Google remakes it into a closed source tool that only their closed systems can use. The fact that they have a history of being awful is why we need to keep competing standards around, even if they’re just not as good or as widely spread around.

My goal was to never need to touch the settings for any of the HVAC units all year round,

I got a lot more luckier than you. I have a single floor, three bedroom place. All I needed to get my setup to an acceptable level was a programmable thermostat.

The other snag was more fundamental - I don’t think it’s possible to have a perfect temperature, even for one person. If I’m sitting still for long periods, I tend to want warmer temps. If I’m cleaning the house, I want cooler temps.

I set my temps for warmer in the afternoon, cooler in the evening/night, and semi-warm again in the morning. It’s not perfect, but it makes getting to sleep and waking up a lot easier.

Very much not at all happy with the overall state of things, especially since my family and I are still stuck in Texas. May end up fleeing the state if the bathroom ban (which was tied in with the flood recovery) ends up going through.
