My setup was about 500 USD if I had to guess:

Used i5 9500 (mainly for QSV but you can use any modern CPU as long as the iGPU is relatively recent)

32GB RAM (more RAM = more cache for file IO)

4TB HDD

256GB NVME boot drive (recycled from my steamdeck)

Node 804 case.

TrueNAS SCALE for the OS.


I'd recommend to get double or even triple the drives I did, maybe 3x 2TB or 3x 1TB depending on your budget. Only because that unlocks RaidZ1/RaidZ2 which can give you better RW speed and redundancy should anything go splat, and you can't retroactively convert your drive into a Z1/Z2 pool without manually transferring the data later which might take a looooong time for you.

I dont think my route was the cheapest: IMO youd do better going AMD even despite the poorer support for HW transcode only because the motherboards are insanely expensive and hard to find, whereas that money couldve given me a better CPU and later you can add an intel iGPU if you're really struggling.

Jellyfin supports HW transcoding on Rockchip too, but the issue with the Pi5 specifically is that it doesn't have a hardware media decoder so it's actually worse than the Pi4 if you can get HW transcoding running on it.

I have an i5 9500 and for what its worth Nextcloud always seems to be the least responsive web app I've used. I think it's just the nature of Nextcloud.

Another thing to note is that extra RAM is super useful with ZFS since it will use extra RAM as a cache to speed up IO. 16-32GB will let ZFS keep significant amounts of data instantly accessible to services like Jellyfin - Eg. a new movie or tv show that multiple users will watch simultaneously.

Appflowy is a self-hostable notion replacement that's a bit more mature than this project atm. I hope this can spur some more development away from Notion though, I'm not a fan of the always-online element

You might want to try appflowy which is a lot more mature than this atm.

not crazy at all. assuming you're careful and back up your data !

It's a clever solution but I did see one recently that IMO was more elegant for noscript users. I can't remember the name but it would create a dummy link that human users won't touch, but webcrawlers will naturally navigate into, but then generates an infinitely deep tree of super basic HTML to force bots into endlessly trawling a cheap-to-serve portion of your webserver instead of something heavier. Might have even integrated with fail2ban to pick out obvious bots and keep them off your network for good.

Usually they give users points of credit to download more torrents: Users that don't seed will burn through their download credits and won't be able to download.

Other trackers will also give you points for every hour you seed a torrent (usually X points per gigabyte per hour) which encourages seeding even if the given file isn't as popular, or so popular that other seeders choke you out of uploading to other users.

rsync over an SMB share was pretty seamless.

Pasta sauce is insanely easy to hide veg in. Just cook them all down in a pot and blend until smooth - they won't ever know the contents!

you can bulk out your protein with lentils too.

I've just set up vaultwarden recently and at least for that solution I can just log into my selfhosted database and grab them from there, but the inconvenience is still enough to put most people off.

 

I ask this because whilst *arr apps supposedly import downloaded torrents to their respective media folders, my downloads folder for qbittorrent is over 200GB in size when I've got zero incomplete downloads.

Have I set something up wrong? Or is it setting some kind of hard link between the downloads and media folder?

 

Is there anyhwhere that has any kind of benchmark for different hardware when hosting minecraft servers? I'm considering migrating to my homelab from a sparkedhost instance but I dont know if it'll be worth potentially worse performance (Ryzen 7000-series x3 vCPUs versus my i5 9500 running concurrent services)

 

Nextcloud, Qbittorrent, Truenas and loads of other svcs take optional email credentials for sending alerts and other features (eg. password recovery for nextcloud).

What email providers do people usually use to make this process simple to set up? For example, Microsoft doesn't allow basic auth anymore so it's supposedly not possible to use via most of these setups, and some other services seem like they have a low inbox size (does this matter?)

 

I'm pretty new to this so it's probably a permissions thing, How can I set up my datasets on this (new) server to allow nextcloud to install without crapping itself?

The app lifecycle logs arent too helpful - they just say postgres is unhealthy and brings down the container.

 

How is the drive management in OMV? I'm looking for something similar to UnRaid pools so i can add one drive at a time (ZFS makes you add vdevs of the same no. of drives).

I'm not too concerned with parity (ive got automated remote backups for sensitive info that I cant replace) but it would be good to know if I could swap drives out if I need to expand or replace anything too.

EDIT: with ZFS 2.3.0 supporting raid expansion, it might be worth me holding out for a year for that to become more stable, and migrate after. I only have 1 drive for now so it shouldnt be too bad if i made a new pool and moved stuff over to a 2nd drive

 

EDIT: Works out of the box. For best experience you'll want Fedora or Arch or SUSE which provide the asusctl package for modifying things usually only available on the ROG Control Centre for Windows. Dual graphics output from HDMI/DP also worked after an initial update and some reboots.

I'm looking at a pretty solid deal for the QHD model right now and I'm wondering if anyone has the same model already. How's the dual GPU setup?

I'm sorta hoping the 6800M can drive both display outputs without much hassle because I used to have to reboot when I had a 1650 mobile system in order to use the HDMI ports (they wouldn't output unless the desktop was running exclusively on the dGPU).

 

good news; they've actually got my referral!

But info that might be relevant for people here; they're currently processing referrals made in July 2024, which from my last call seems to mean they're working them down at a little less than one month, per month.

Otherwise they're supposedly one of the faster RTC providers so still consider them if you're in England!

 

I've got a fairly new Lenovo Ideapad (14aph8) which up until yesterday charged just fine. Now the ports don't accept any charger at all, even their official one.

I've tried holding down the power button to dump static charge from the battery but at best I get maybe 2-3 seconds of it recognising the official charger before it goes dead again.

Is there a home fix or should I just reach out for warranty?

 

There's almost zero proper documentation on BCAT stuff but does it still need to be done in 2024 for the latest 2.0.6 update?

From my own testing, a handful of date events seem to be working just fine as long as in game prerequisites are met. There are a LOT of events once tied to BCAT files though, so I can't really check all of em.

One other point to note - in videos of players using legit switches and copies of the game, the version still seems to be 2.0.6 without a letter (and 🏠 for HHA DLC)

 

If youve used Prowlarr, you might have experienced cloudflare blocking access to certain trackers.

There's a docker-based solution called cloudsolverr which automatically bypasses these cloudflare challenges by spinning up a headless chromium browser.

Main issue is it's heavy on resources (I have an rpi4b) and doesn't have an easy native setup (I've not had time to practice with docker stuff yet).

Is there a manual way for me to resolve these cloudflare challenges so I can add the trackers? It's mainly for public shit like 1337x just to fill out my access to TV shows where my other trackers fail or get rate-limited.

Incredibly impressive for a platform that hasn't even hit Debian stable yet.

This is using box64, an ARM/RISCV translation layer for x86 apps on Linux, not unlike "Rosetta" on MacOS.
