    Non-Win-11 PCs to keep my eyes out for to convert into a NAS?

    Jump

  • While any machine that provides storage through the network can be a NAS, you'll probably want at least some level of extendability. Your biggest problem with OEM machines (think Dell, HP, Lenovo) will be s lack of SATA ports, in combination with not enough power outlets and not enough space to put the actual disks in the case.

    That's the reason I usually build my own machines for those purposes, and depending on what's needed you don't even need high-end parts, at least for a "NAS-only NAS". My NAS works on a 2 core/ 4 thread Intel i3, which will be enough for the foreseeable future. But it also only provides storage, all the rest (self hosting my services) happens on another machine.

    TrueNAS works well for me as a NAS OS. AS far as I've seen it also provides direct container support or virtual machines. It you want an all-in-one machine, that might be worth looking into.

  • Digital archiving - what and how do you archive?

    Jump

  • All of the kind of files you listed currently live in a Nextcloud instance, although I also have a test paperless instance, especially for the scanned documents.

    The only thing not in there are media files which can always be re-downloaded, I.e. files not created by me. Think music, movies, etc.

  • H.264 for DVD content is perfectly fine. H.265 will save a little storage, but that's basically it.

    If you need to go outside your network it will suddenly be a lot more effort. I'd suggest a Wireguard tunnel, but in theory you could also open up the server to the internet. But you better know what you're doing in that case.

  • Transcoding is taking an already encoded file, e.g. in H.265 and "re-encoding" it to something else, e.g. to H.264.

    This is usually done for clients that cannot natively play back the originally encoded files, or for reasons like bandwidth restrictions, subtitles, etc.

    In theory you can get around that by originally encoding your DVDs to a format which all of your devices can play natively. Nowadays, on most modern devices you should be good with H.265. Best way would be simply to try: encode, copy over, play.

    H.264 is supported by basically every not ancient device.

    Remote streaming inside the same network is as easy as pointing the Android app to the server and logging in.

  • [Serious] What is the greatest tragedy a person could experience in their life?

    Jump

  • That heavily depends on the person.

  • How to manage docker compose apps?

    Jump

  • Check out Dockge. It provides a simple yet very usable and useful web UI for managing Docker compose stacks.

    New home server, NixOS vs Proxmox vs Arch

  • Cut out the middleman and go Debian on bare metal?

    Do bots/scrapers check uncommon ports?

    Jump

  • There is no hiding in that sense. Bots will scan all IPs on all ports over time.

    Will it be less on nonstandard ports? Likely. Will it matter? Not really, the attack vectors would be exactly the same.

    Secure your systems and running on default or nonstandard ports won't be an issue.

  • USUAL in your country but NOT anywhere else.

    Jump

  • No, it isn't. At least not for anyone I know.

  • USUAL in your country but NOT anywhere else.

    Jump

  • Apparently Germany is one of the few (the only? Who knows) country to prefer carbonated water.

  • How do you introduce the Fediverse to other people?

    Jump

  • when you talk about the Fediverse to friends, family, or colleagues

    Sorry, why would I do that? There might be 1-3 people who'd be "suitable" for something like Reddit before it became crap, and 0 for the Fediverse.

    Rest in peace J. K. Simmons, (17th of September 2025). Thankyou for your amazing performances over the years. Hope you feel well rested when you wake up tomorrow morning.

  • Since when?

  • Docker dashboards: choice overload

    Jump

  • I use a combination of Dockge, diun with gotify and Beszel for managing update notifications, stacks and container usage.

    It will certainly not fit all of your requirements, but it's a not too complicated setup which gets me the most important infos.

  • Any tool to visualize Traefik access logs?

    Jump

  • Goaccess reads the Traefik log and spits out an HTML file you can then serve via e.g. Nginx. Works for me.

  • Securing a 'public' service for family

    Jump

  • Realistically though, you could still use a VPN and have it be pretty easy for your family members IF you have access to their router console and IF said router supports network wide wireguard or openVPN connections. Having both networks tied in to eachother that way makes it so that nobody ever has to use a VPN client to connect, but still only devices from their network (or yours) will be able to connect.

    Realistically this plan dies the moment someone takes their phone outside of the WiFi range. It's fine in theory, but fails miserably in non-techie real life.

  • Could a nuclear bomb be delivered and detonated via a truck or boat?

    Jump

  • Considering that you only need the warhead: absolutely.

  • If You Have Choice then Which part would you choose to be born in?

    Jump

  • No one said anything about having to stay there, and Australia-only at least basically guarantees the option, unlike let's say many African countries.

  • If You Have Choice then Which part would you choose to be born in?

    Jump

  • K seems like the "safest" option.
