Big tech about to erupt into a civil war over whether or not they got into the AI slop bubble early.

It looks like a very basic screening tool to block suspicious file extensions from being uploaded/downloaded. I wouldn't read (pun intended) into it too much, but it does mean you might have to work around it via sending epubs as zips or something. I doubt they bother scanning the contents of archives.

in terms of the fight against AI slop this is terrible news. in the fight to access information media freely forever this is almost... good news?

I'm probably in a similar boat thanks to 4x NAS drives (in 2x mirror vdevs so essentially half as power efficient too). I wonder if using an SSD or two for things like caches would help with power draw since you could defer disk usage for longer by relying on a more efficient cache.

SnapRAID is also an option. One benefit is that multiple disks don't need to be spinning at once to access data. Downside is that your parity isn't calculated in real time so less data redundancy.

It's a pain but also it's no surprise that DNS and ipv6 are premium when ipv4 and dynamic IP works so well for 99% of us. Even if you wanna host something publicly there are totally free services and software tools to cover most if not all caveats of not using ipv6 (for now).

I have selfhosted for years and only paid for a domain name recently.

metronome for the other components to practice playing songs at the right bpm

Yeah even if you're someone who is super concerned about Jellyfin's API safety, it'll likely be less maintenance setting them up on tailscale than duplicating the streaming hardware. But that's assuming OP's family are as tech illiterate as mine

I have two 4TB in Raid 10 (ZFS Mirror) and two 8TB as the same. All in TrueNAS Scale.

TrueNAS is pretty good for a basic setup imo!

A computer. Seriously that's it. Of course depends on your use case (media servers usually need more than a web host for example)

big up Stirling. it's super easy to host and packed with features. one of my favourite apps

 

Yeah, it was the cached dependencies, how did you guess?

Rsync to a Hetzner storage box. I dont do ALL my data, just the nextcloud data. The rest is...linux ISOs... so I can redownload at my convenience.

diet pi counts right? most of the software in their managed repo is a straightforward install and largely preconfigured for daily use. It was my first server OS and im very fond of it

 

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.
