  • Need some pointers for hardware

  • but that one is 500 with no RAM at all, which is quite hefty.

    I got mine open box off from eBay. You could search in a similar way. I hunted for a few days, with terms like "NAS", "N100", "N150", "MiniPC", "4 Bay", etc.

    though I’m not quite sure what to pick best, motherboard being the hardest one.

    I'm not sure on this, so take it with a grain of salt, but I think non-NAS oriented mothebaords aren't optimized for low energy consumption, specially on idle.

    Best of luck!

  • I can't say this is a good advice by itself; this is simply my setup as I was in your position just 1 month ago, maybe this gives you more ideas.

    I recently bought an 16 GB non-ECC DDR5 (which is unnecessary, DDR4 works just fine) open-box 4-disk bay TerraMaster as my main server for the equivalent of around €400, thinking that in a distant future I can buy a different rack just for disks. This model has an Intel N150, which has the H.265 codec, which should handle the transcoding in your Plex instance (which, IMO, you should consider moving to Jellyfin instead in the new computer you end up getting). The 4-disk bay (there are some models with more bays) allows you to get some disks now and then fill up the bays later on if you want to. Note: I just realized this almost reads like a Terramaster ad, that's not my goal; you can search for similar options from other fabricants.

    As for the OS, I insist in recommending you TrueNAS, since it's Debian-based, since it's not like Proxmox where everything has to be VM, it's simply Debian with a nice UI for spinning up Docker instances + disk/snapshot/backups management, all of which are optional: you can easily mount your disk pool and setup them up as a ZRAID (data redundancy in case of disk failure), stripe (no data redundancy), etc., organize everything in easy to use folders, schedule different snapshot schedules for different folders, etc. You can also easily mount Docker containers, either through the "app store" (a selection of Docker containers wrapped in a nice UI for configuration) or manually with docker-compose.yml files. IMO, you lose little, but gain a lot with the OS being already configured for a lot of the stuff you want to do, and the easy to use Web UI.

  • I went for an .org and the same happened to me. After digging, Porkbun says is an automated flag of suspicious account, irrelevant to the TLD.

  • Why not? My underestanding is that 100% energy of a sound wave will ultimately be transformed to kinetic energy to particles in the room, be it a wall's, an ear drum's or air's.

  • Serious Linux vulnerability affecting nearly every system. Patch your systems.

  • They sell a vulnerability discovery program. IMO, they did this dubious responsable disclousure to get the extra marketing.

  • Don't pay for AI, frame your questions like you want Maccas.

  • In my previous company, I pushed hard against incorporating non-local LLMs for that reason, since we dealt with very sensible information. Was ignored for that same argument you just posted.

  • GoDaddy Gave a Domain to a Stranger Without Any Documentation

  • Porkbun required me to submit my ID and a selfie when I was about to buy a domain there. Had to go to Cloudflare.

  • I use NextDNS, which allows to set filtering rules.

  • Some thought I had the other day: LLM is supposed to make us more productive, say by 20%. Have you won a 20% pay rise since you adopted it? I haven't

  • Gameplay mechanics were also a lot better with more replayability.

  • Beep thinks that comic's author's name is an ad, and is against it, so they are in a crusade against crediting the author and always crops that part.

  • Has a job ever baited and switched you? Tell me about it!

  • Not as bad as people here, but I was hired as sysadmin/data analyst. Fast forward a year and a half and get asked to develop a secret spyware to continously screenshot anybody in the company 24/7 (which I'm convinced is illegal, but idk). Refuse to do so for 3 weeks, and just resigned today :)

    They had the audacity to announce the rest of the team they fired me as I told them at the last minute that I was unwilling to participate. Fucking clowns.

  • There's a comment here that literally says "conservative opinion is worthless"

    In Colombia, we have a leftist president. A lot of criticism for the corruption scandals, the economic managment and the increase in guerilla activity comes from the right wing in the country. It's necessary to have such criticism/opinions, so I disagree with the implication that all conservative opinion is inherently worthless.

    I'm not saying that you have to adapt/incorporate/agree with all conservatives, but there's more nuance to the topic.

  • Yes. Lemmy is a huuuge echo chamber.

    think a lot of comments also think "Other opinions = MAGA crazy shit"

  • What's an online service you happily pay for?

    Jump

  • Not exactly. The starter pack is only 300 searches/month and also includes $5 USD LLM tokens credit.

    IMO, the swetspot would be $5 USD unlimited searches and no LLM token credit, or their familiar plans (which sadly I have no one to buy with).

  • Not really, as they include a bunch of AI extras, like $10 USD in LLM tokens usage. I would much prefer a $5 USD option without that, just a search engine.
