  • I kinda hate to agree with the other suggestions here, but entry level and even dedicated NAS products are pretty expensive for providing something you can very easily DIY for significantly cheaper even with the latest hardware.

    Was in a similar boat and just ended up taking an old HP desktop and added some cheap HDDs. I ended up playing around with proper Fedora for some LVM cache tricks and running some other services, but the common suggestion for this is SnapRAID and Nextcloud.


  • There’s more *arr tools that aren’t aggregator automation tools than there are aggregator automation tools.

    Also It was only funny when using an existing words like "sonar, “radar”, “lidar”. Jellyseerr is dumb, even Jackett was pushing it.

    I guess it makes it somewhat easier to associate them as part of a group of software, but now we have stuff like Homarr that is entirely unrelated, but still a useful tool.

    Proxmox or even just lazy old KVM GUI for anything that needs to be deployed manually in a VM (Home Assistant, WIndows VM, etc.). Otherwise you can even just spin up whatever manual service you want to run on an LXC container or bare metal host with the correct security settings with systemd and selinux if you want to be extra careful.

    Docker/Podman (the superior one lol) is just an automated deployment system in container form (like Ansible). It great for automated deployment without having to manually configure the installation process and worry about upgrades, changes, etc. You can even easily create your own images on the fly just for the purpose of having it run a single service inside a container.

    Proxmox equivalent would be like using Terraform/OpenTofu to deploy VMs to do the same thing. Its possible, but just not that common because of the reduced overhead with containers, and well supported deployment images with docker/podman specifically.

    Generally speaking, I’ve seen proxmox used more in lab environments were you want to emulate something like a complete network of machines whereas docker/podman has become the defacto server deployment platform.

    You’re just much more likely to find software with a published docker container and default docker compose script than the same thing in Terraform or even K8s/K3s.











  • Pentagon wasted tax money on facebook bots to convince people in East Asia that the chinese covid vaccine was poison, so no one is really buying the “China human rights abuses are what allow China to succeed” idea anymore.

    Especially since you can just as easily point to Japan’s infrastructure projects which achieved the same thing under US supervision post WWII, meaning said human rights violations aren’t even a supposed cost if there’s less evidence of it that of UAE literally pirating in immigrants to build their lavish towers and stadiums.

    Of which the US fully supports, so this just goes back to the blame game of who is worse.

    Yes, China has some shady ideas of what is considered acceptable behavior and work output from citizens, but the point is that they are using it to rapidly grow their infrastructure, unlike NA which take a decade for a single transit system to get approved all while car OEMs are pumping out dumpsterfire vehicles of whose parts are overwhelmingly made in China.

    Does jellyfin do untranscoded video/audio?

    Haven’t used it in years but finally building up my media server again and I remember it had some funky settings for hardware encoding back then which I didn’t need because I was connecting to it via a repurposed gaming laptop that could easily handle 4k content and surround sound by itself.
