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