It’s neat that this exists, but not neat if someone hosts it for a year, a bunch of fed users rely on it and share a bunch of links using it, and then the hoster takes it down for whatever reason, and now there are a bunch of dead links littered all over the place.
Even less neat if some malicious group can then buy the lapsed domain and forward all those dead links to ads and viruses.
Please host responsibly, is all I’m saying.
It’s not sunk cost, dude. We agreed that $120 will get them 5 years of service that meets their needs. Even if they switch to jellyfin after 5 years, they still got their money’s worth.
It’s only sunk cost if they are worse off than if they had switched earlier. I guess if you’re arguing that they would still have $120 if they switch today, I would argue they should still pay that $120 toward jellyfin’s development. And that’s assuming they have time to switch to jellyfin AND it fits 100% of their usecases, either of which could be untrue.
Or Plex currently does everything they need it to, and $120 for 5+ years of keeping that going without any interruption of service is very reasonable. In the meantime, jellyfin will only get better and there might even be other options available by then.
Stop trying to make the issue black and white, one-size-fits-all. There are perfectly legitimate reasons for people to use both Plex and Jellyfin.
Hah, they’re TrueNAS BSD jails, but yes, now I need to figure out how to rename the “Jails” tab in my UI to overlords.
Also, all the extra work my self-hosting endeavors generate is “creep”.
I use zerg units.
Afaik the cookie policy on your site is not GDPR compliant, at least how it is currently worded. If all cookies are “technically necessary” for function of the site, then I think all you need to do is say that. (I think for a wiki it’s acceptable to require clients to allow caching of image data, so your server doesn’t have to pay for more bandwidth).
My recommendation would be, have two machines: new hw for all your services, and use the old hw for your NAS. Each could be whatever OS you’re comfortable with using. Most everything on the services machine could be in docker configs, including network mount points to the NAS. You might be able to get away with using the 1080TI in the services box depending on what all you want to do (AI stuff, or newer stream transcoding requirements may require newer hw).
Moving the data from the old NAS to a new one without new disks will be a challenge, yes.
I have a TrueNAS box and used jails for services. I recently set up a debian box separately, and am switching from jails on truenas to docker on debian. Wish I had done this from the start.
To be fair, it’s entirely possible someone else made a post about this topic with an non-sensationalized title, but no one engaged with that one. Including us.
A Linux user time traveling from the 90s/00s would be elated to know that one day someone could possibly have this opinion.
All of that was introduced in 2004. When you said “25 years ago” I assumed you meant the original P4 from 2000.
Negative, Pentium 4 was x86 and thus could only address 32 bits.
64bit CPUs started hitting the mainstream in 2003, but 64bit Windows didn’t take off until Win7 in 2009. (XP had it, but no one bothered switching from 32b XP to 64b XP just to use more memory and have early adoption issues. Vista had it, but no one had Vista).
I’m sure that it’s just the marketing dept changing hands over time. Marketing teams are like a Scott’s Tots situation: they are just trying to say whatever makes the product numbers look good in the near term. Fulfilling on any promises is a future marketing team’s job.

It’s not clear to me how tailscale does this without being a VPN of some kind. Is it just masking your IP and otherwise just forwarding packets to your open ports? Maybe also auto blocking suspicious behavior if they’re clearly scanning or probing for vulnerabilities?
I need everything to be fully but securely accessible from outside the network
I wouldn’t be able to sleep at night. Who is going to need to access it from outside the network? Is it good enough for you to set up a VPN?
The more stuff visible on the internet, the more you have to play IT to keep it safe. Personally, I don’t have time for that. The safest and easiest system to maintain a system is one where possible connections are minimized.
How does it compare to
