I tried umbrel and wasnt super impressed. It seemed like it would function alright for the small amount of things i was trying to do but broke shortly after installing. I set up pihole and i think jellyfin since i was just testing it out on an older laptop.
I’ve heard decent things about CasaOS but have not used it myself.
What are you doing step-LAN?
Jellyfin was my go to as well. It was really nice to play with and finamp was as well. Once setup it was just as easy and nice to use as Spotify without all the ads and Spotify randomly playing songs after i finish a podcast episode.
If you dont need the drive to be fast and want best bang for your buck storage capacity, HDD is the way to go.
If you want speed and are ok with a higher price, SSD is best. Used enterprise HDD are usually a good value. Im in the US so not sure about where to purchase exactly.
Something to consider is if the drive you are storing the os and files on are the same, using am HDD will make it slower on start up.
No fucking way
This is the second time today ive looked something up and found it to be true.
Ah ok, thats pretty cool. I dont do much torrenting anymore cause my internet is not only limited but is kinda slow and unsteady.
Might check that out once im back in civilization with a decent connection. I miss gigabit speeds man.
Yea the real fun is always the set up when selfhosting. Then you look for the next project lol.
Im not familiar with gluetun, is that what you’re using to download tracks or something?
I personally really liked using jellyfin and finamp. Both were pretty great once i figured out how to set it up lol.
The issues i had were due to my lack of knowledge and trying to set things up to use it outside of my home network. Jellyfin itself was great as was finamp when i used them.
Yea thats part of the reason I said generally. As I said, newer to linux and still learning but flatpaks can be more secure because they are sandboxed is my understanding.
That said, you’re not wrong to point it out. Sandboxes arent the be all end all to security of course. Any security is defeated if the end user doesn’t use logic and practice saftey when it comes to downloading any software.
I’ve seen good answers here but I just wanted to chime in as I’m a newer Linux user and as I’m learning more from running Fedora as my daily driver instead of Windows, I’m learning a lot and hope to help others learn as well.
Typically, most common software that you want to use will be in the repo for your distro or in a flatpak of some kind. If you’re downloading from your distributions repo, your typically not going to encounter viruses. Flatpaks are also generally safe as theyre sandboxed so the interactions they have with your system are generally read only.
That said, still use caution. Don’t run commands that you find online unless you know what they do, use ublock like you mentioned you already do, only download software from trusted sources and use the checksum to verify the files integrity and safety.
From the sound of it, you’re already doing what you should be, just wanted to add this if there were any other very new users with similar concerns about viruses.
From what I can see just from a quick google, its in reference to a tiktok.
“What’s one move in bed that makes a man go crazy every time?”
One of the women immediately answered in her Southern accent and laughed:
“Oh, you gotta give him that ‘hawk tuah’ and spit on that thing, you get me?”
Well now im very jealous lol. Good for you man, thats a banger deal.
I specifically buy easy dinner stuff while.im out shopping for the same reason. I spent an hour getting food so now imma take it easy and eat this mac and chicken strips from the deli.
88 x 8TB drives? 704 TB of storage?
You got a whole damn data center lol. Good stuff dude. Was this off of ebay or direct from a company? I’m curious to know the total cost.
Im in this post and i dont like it.
But all of the stuff on my to do list has been slowly whittled down so im at least making progress. Thank you meth.
What in crustacean?!
I still think about this in FMA brotherhood. And im unfortunately familiar with this scene in futurama.
Why you gotta hurt me man?
Fair point. My company keeps drives that get taken out of servers for office use. After that theyre recycled.
Damn thats cool! My work doesnt let me take drives old drives. Though we dont use sas drives so that might be why.
I certainly dont mind used drives for mass storage. I was planning to do some kinda raid anyways.
I haven’t gotten any kind of nas setup yet. Trying to avoid buying too much lol but good to know other folks are using sas drives too.
I was recently looking for something like this and couldn’t find what i was looking for, so thanks!
