Meh, so far it has been a smooth ride for me. Though I’m using Unraid. Not ready for CLI-only.

Some Synology devices aren’t capable of dealing with docker containers. Just to keep that in mind.

Streaming remotely via tailscale is fairly easy. Cloudflare tunnel apparently works too, although it is against their ToS.

Can’t speak for Apple TV though. Setting up clients on Android based systems is as easy as entering the server address and then logging in.

The jellyfin service was super easy to set up. I just set up the container in Unraid and was done with that. Took me a minute or two.

Organisations can’t offer great services for free.

The point of self-hosting is that you’re not dependent on a service from a company. You’re literally hosting the service yourself. Also with Plex. So essentially you’re paying them AND you’re doing the work for them.

And no, why would Jellyfin have to start charging? That’s the whole point of FOSS software. They get their money from donations and support programs and whatnot. They don’t have to succumb to the bullshit that is perpetual growth.

Jellyfin was one of the easiest things to set up though.

Cloudflare doesn’t allow streaming large quantities of data through their tunnels. At least it’s against their ToS.

I cobbled together a bunch of second hand stuff from eBay. An i5-12500T is at the heart of it for hardware accelerated encoding, 32 GB ram, an HBA controller for the 4 SAS drives (2x 11 TB and 2x 8 TB). Stuffed all that into an old atx case with an old PSU. Added a tiny touchscreen display for troubleshooting.

I’m pretty happy with this setup. I’m using Unraid and I’m running an arr stack, downloads are done via usenet. Also running jellyfin, Navidrome, Komga, Immich and Adguard.

Im still looking for a good Filesharing service that’s easy to configure and allows user registration.

I’m fairly new to all this. So it’s an exciting journey!

Hunting for torrents, begging to get into specific private trackers is quite time-consuming. I highly value my time.

If time is worthless to you, sure.

Here I am, paying next to nothing, automated everything, living a life free from American fuckhead companies.

Can’t you just do a new setup? I just installed the seerr container on my unraid server and it took just a couple of minutes. Or am I missing something?

You can still go with unraid and buy more, smaller drives. Buy used SAS drives and an HBA. I recently bought a refurbished Dell optiplex with 32 gigs of ram and some i5 processor off eBay for 100€. SAS drives are really loud and consume more energy than consumer HDDs, but they last very long and are way cheaper.

No no, I use Signal and it was difficult enough to get friends and family over. Many didn’t. But Signal has been the only messenger with enough pull.

So, this is yet another messenger that just splits the user base even further, leading to even less people moving away from the WhatsApp? Or did I get it wrong?

It’s about 1 gigaArnold/s^2

I like to stretch my legs a bit. Makes sense to me.

Parking like that is way easier than parking hood-first, lol.

And I’m sick and tired of people like you. The person that buys a crappy truck like that usually is scared of not being masculine enough. These people aren’t insulted by witty comments, they’re insulted by childish things like smol pipi, or calling them gay, or calling them princess (essentially calling them women). I like to believe that the majority of users on Lemmy know these aren’t actual insults, but if it hurts the feelings of these disgusting people, then I’m all for it. So get off your high horse and throw the most fucking childish things at these fragile men.

Yeah, because killing a huge fucking seagull in front of kids is a totally normal thing to do.

Well, the idea is to maintain the car and not just chug it out after 10 years. If you do this, then you shouldn’t fail a bi-annual test that determines whether your car is safe for the road or not.

Absolutely! So many incredibly bad drivers and so many garbage cars. Never seen so many broken down cars along a highway. And all the shredded tires. Makes me glad to have something like the TÜV, even though it can be annoying at times.
