Every Villain Is Lemons

Lol wait till you see any of the Pakistan or India related articles. Its like the Ganges river in text form.

There’s more *arr tools that aren’t aggregator automation tools than there are aggregator automation tools.

Also It was only funny when using an existing words like "sonar, “radar”, “lidar”. Jellyseerr is dumb, even Jackett was pushing it.

I guess it makes it somewhat easier to associate them as part of a group of software, but now we have stuff like Homarr that is entirely unrelated, but still a useful tool.

Proxmox or even just lazy old KVM GUI for anything that needs to be deployed manually in a VM (Home Assistant, WIndows VM, etc.). Otherwise you can even just spin up whatever manual service you want to run on an LXC container or bare metal host with the correct security settings with systemd and selinux if you want to be extra careful.

Docker/Podman (the superior one lol) is just an automated deployment system in container form (like Ansible). It great for automated deployment without having to manually configure the installation process and worry about upgrades, changes, etc. You can even easily create your own images on the fly just for the purpose of having it run a single service inside a container.

Proxmox equivalent would be like using Terraform/OpenTofu to deploy VMs to do the same thing. Its possible, but just not that common because of the reduced overhead with containers, and well supported deployment images with docker/podman specifically.

Generally speaking, I’ve seen proxmox used more in lab environments were you want to emulate something like a complete network of machines whereas docker/podman has become the defacto server deployment platform.

You’re just much more likely to find software with a published docker container and default docker compose script than the same thing in Terraform or even K8s/K3s.

Brand spanking new Kali linux after it was redone from Backtrack.

Thought I was cool for 5 seconds until I saw the Kali forums tearing into the thousands of idiots like me who hadn’t touched Linux before but somehow managed to jump through the sketchy Debian installer to load an OS with a metric ton of offensive security tools that none of use knew how to use.

Eventually played with Ubuntu for home use, disliked it, tried Debian which was nice for server, saw Linus Torvalds uses Fedora for user friendly experience, and ended up there.

Sorta related but these “next gen” FSs are pretty overrated on the performance benchmarks lots of groups like Phoronix do every kernel release.

BTRFS lags behind a ton compared to XFS, even though XFS was originally designed for large file throughput on servers.

Even EXT4 beats BcacheFS and BTRFS on several irl load benchmarks.

Only thing I’ve seen actually keep up is F2FS which iirc is the default on Android these days.

Does jellyfin do untranscoded video/audio?

Haven’t used it in years but finally building up my media server again and I remember it had some funky settings for hardware encoding back then which I didn’t need because I was connecting to it via a repurposed gaming laptop that could easily handle 4k content and surround sound by itself.

Cool, now we’ll get an influx into lemmy.world and I’ll finally have a reason to abandon this account lol

JVM and Android dalvik ART are still alive and well because if we could use clown circus Javascript to run WWW for 30 years, we sure as hell can use “My Big Fat Gabrage Collector: The Boilerplate Saga” to run all of our applications and backend infrastructure.

Yeah it’s great because even without a make plugin, you can just add your make command to the vscode actions that’ll run your makefile.

Or even better, get the plugin which will auto populate targets from the makefile lol

Believe it or not, NTFS isn’t, but Windows is to keep ye olde DOS compatibility lol.

TIL case insensitive filesystems are still a thing actually in use.

Why lol

You might want to check what the actual hardware is first. You’ll probably be fine, but client 802.11 hardware can sometimes be underwhelming for hosting because they don’t have good stuff like beefed up MuMIMO.

Although that’s assuming you will have a lot of traffic going through it, so you could always just test throughput and latency with iperf to see how well it functions.

It depends on what it is really + convenience. There are lots of morons out here running basic info sites on full beefy datacenter VMs instead of a proper cloud webhost service.

The most you’d be getting out of cloud is reliability. Self host assumes you don’t have any bottlenecks (easy enough to pass), but also 99% uptime which is impossible unless you are running with site redundancy (also possible, but I doubt how many people own multiple properties with their own distribute or private cloud solution).

if 95% uptime is acceptable, and you don’t live in an area with outage issues from weather, I’d say go for it. Otherwise, you can find some pretty cheap cloud solutions for basic websites. Even a cheapo VPS would probably work just fine.

I have run photoprism straight from mdadm RAID5 on some ye olde SAS drives with only a reduction in the indexing speed (About 30K photos which took ~2 hours to index with GPU tensorflow).

That being said I’m in a similar boat doing an upgrade and I have some warnings that I have found are helpful:

1. Consumer grade NVMEs are not designed for tons of write ops, so they should optimally only be used in RAID 0/1/10. RAID 5/6 will literally start with a massive parity rip on the drives, and the default timer for RAID checks on Linux is 1 week. Same goes for ZFS and mdadm caching, just proceed with caution (ie 321 backups) if you go that route. Even if you end up doing RAID 5/6, make sure you get quality hardware with decent TBW, as sever grade NVMEs are often triple in TBW rating.
2. ZFS is a load of pain if you’re running anything related to Fedora or Redhat, and the performance implications from lots and lots of testing is still arguably inconclusive on a NAS/Home lab setup. Unless you rely on the specific feature set or are making an actual hefty storage node, stock mdadm and LVM will probably fulfill your needs.
3. Btrfs has all the features you need but is a load of trash in performance, highly recommend XFS for file integrity features + built in data dedup, and mdadm/lvm for the rest.

I’m personally going with the NVME scheduled backups to RAID because the caching just doesn’t seem worth it when I’m gonna be slamming huge media files around all day along with running VMs and other crap. For context, the 2TB NVME brand I have is only rated for 1200 TBW. That’s probably more then enough for a file server, but for my homelab server it would just be caching constantly with whatever workload I’m throwing at it. Would still probably last a few years no issues, but SSD pricing has just been awful these past few years.

On a related note, Photoprism needs to upgrade to Tensorflow 2 so I don’t have to compile an antiquated binary for CUDA support.

Even worse is finding a rejected pull request that would have added the exact feature you need.

I think VSCode is the only stable electron application and even then it took them like 5 years to reach passable stability lol.

Used to crash and combust all the time when I first tried it.

Hey at least it’s not JavaScript which is perpetually high on crack with Object object

Yeah and then google+microsoft rolled in and killed the decentralized nature of email with gmail and outlook.

Only sign left of the good ol days is merged accounts with @ old domain names and the few that self host.

Successfully uploads file into broken MariaDB with no space left.

Bruh holy hell, glad you figured it out.

Really seems like a fatal design flaw, even basic stuff like sftp has checksums for sanity. I guess it has to do with it not verifying the DB is responding with the correct info or improperly deciding the upload was okay.
