  • How do you keep up?

    Jump

  • Yeah, everything that's already been said, except that I specifically chose an off-the-shelf Synology NAS with Docker support to run my core setup for this exact reason. It needs a reboot maybe once or twice a year for critical updates but is otherwise rock solid.

    I have since added a small N100 box for things that need a little extra grunt (Plex mainly) but I run Ubuntu Server LTS with Docker on that and do maintenance on it about as often as I reboot the NAS.

  • .DS_Store

    Jump

  • Were you talking about MacOS? It's been a long time since I last had to use it but I assumed it was case sensitive because it's Unix based. Uh maybe ignore me then!

  • Unionized

    Jump

  • Opened the thread hoping someone would've done this (and too lazy to do it myself). Thank you for your service.

  • According to you, what happens when you die?

    Jump

  • There is no darkness, there isn't even nothing, because there's no you to experience it.

    It's such a weird concept to get our heads around but this is it, and I personally find it quite comforting. It's just very hard to explain why!

  • .DS_Store

    Jump

  • NTFS absolutely supports case sensitivity but, presumably for consistency with FAT and FAT32 (Windows is all about backwards compatibility), and for the sake of Average-Joe-User who's only interaction with the filesystem is opening Word and Excel docs, it doesn't by default.

    All that said, it can be set on a per-directory basis: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/case-sensitivity

  • Plex migration from Windows to Linux

    Jump

  • Just to add to the info so far: while you're spending the effort doing a migration it's worth going the extra few steps and moving to their Docker image. It'll make any future server moves a doddle, not to mention updates etc.

  • Copied from another community: "Hoarder (the name) is being stolen from me"

    Jump

  • Isn't that exactly why so many of these company and app names have missing vowels? Because they can't trademark a word but they can trademark a collection of letters that sounds like a word when spoken aloud. It's really dumb.

  • What HATED or highly disliked movie you ACTUALLY really enjoyed?

    Jump

  • Man I'd forgotten about that film but I also really enjoyed it. It was fully self aware and made no attempt to take itself seriously, and if you're in the right mindset for that then it's a great time.

    Might have to watch it again.

  • I was today years old when it occurred to me that it took three different actresses in Strange New Worlds to play all of Majel Barrett-Roddenberry's roles.

    Jump

  • Also the first thing that popped into my head. I know EVA was just a voice but teenaged me had the hots for her.

  • Nom nom

    Jump

  • I had no idea that people struggled with this so much and have come up with such crazy (to me) ways of figuring it out.

    Most of the world, if asked to write down numbers 1-100 on a line, would do so left to right. The < and > symbols are arrows pointing left and right. To the left the numbers decrease (less than) and to the right the numbers increase (greater than).

    All this stuff about crocodiles and ducks seems like such a bizarre way to remember it!

    Edit: thanks for the comments, it's fascinating to get an insight on how differently people's brains work. Something that seems like such an obvious concept is just as baffling to others as the crocodile is for me.

    To attempt to explain it better though: Say the number you're comparing to is 50. If x is less than that, say 30, then it would appear to the left of 50 in the list and the arrow would point that way <--. If it's greater than 50 then it would be to the right -->

  • Serving my media library to my TV (local network only), i need suggestions

    Jump

  • Third Plex. It's a bit baffling as to why it's got such a bad rep recently because it performs its core function of serving media incredibly well, is super easy (barely an inconvenience) to setup, and there's apps for every conceivable platform.

    Yes there's a few features locked behind a subscription (though they still sell lifetime passes, often at good discounts) and they're trying to "legitimize" with their ad-backed streaming thing, but the core product of local media server is still very much there, and free, and isn't going anywhere.

  • What's the greatest videogame of all time?

    Jump

  • Wolf was Doom's predecessor, yes, but Doom was far more influential. I remember at the time "first person shooter" didn't exist as a genre so everything was just a "Doom clone", even Duke Nukem 3D IIRC.

  • Your favorite lesser known docker container?

    Jump

  • Webtop. Lightweight Linux VMs but in Docker.

  • Me finding absolutely anybody to blame for my personal problems other than myself

    Jump

  • The episode specifically states that this is the case. She'd been chatting with her elderly mentor about old friends dying off and how it's like they never existed, and she'd been mulling this over at the point at which she was sucked into the bubble causing it to manifest.

    It's always seemed stupid and jarring to me, but I imagine they added it in to help people understand the concept.

  • Expanding Synology

    Jump

  • That's... A lot of storage. I'd say your options are, in no particular order:

    • buy a 12 bay NAS.
    • expansion unit. Do it as a separate volume and shuffle cold data onto there.
    • upgrade the drives.

    Failing that you could just have a bit of a purge? If not straight deleting stuff, move things onto an external drive.

    You could also try deduping. There's a script that'll add any drive to the internal "supported" list and also enable dedupe on mechanical drives. The savings were minimal on mine but you might have more luck. https://github.com/007revad/Synology_enable_Deduplication

  • Help me harden my home server

    Jump
    1. Sure but there's no reason to openly advertise that yours has open services behind it.
    2. Absolutely. There are countries that I'm never going to travel there so why would I need to allow access to my stuff from there? If you think it's nonsense then don't use it, but you do you and I'll do me.
    3. See point 3.

    We all need to decide for ourselves what we're comfortable with and what we're not and then implement appropriate measures to suit. I'm not sure why you're arguing with me over how I setup my own services for my own use.

  • Help me harden my home server

    Jump

  • Yes and no? It's not quite as black and white as that though. Yes, they can technically decrypt anything that's been encrypted with a cert that they've issued. But they can't see through any additional encryption layers applied to that traffic (eg. encrypted password vault blobs) or see any traffic on your LAN that's not specifically passing through the tunnel to or from the outside.

    Cloudflare is a massive CDN provider, trusted to do exactly this sort of thing with the private data of equally massive companies, and they're compliant with GDPR and other such regulations. Ultimately, the likelihood that they give the slightest jot about what passes through your tunnel as an individual user is minute, but whether you're comfortable with them handling your data is something only you can decide.

    There's a decent question and answer about the same thing here: https://community.cloudflare.com/t/what-data-does-cloudflare-actually-see/28660

  • Help me harden my home server

    Jump

  • Admittedly I'm paranoid, but I'd be looking to:

    1. Isolate your personal data from any web facing servers as much as possible. I break my own rule here with Immich, but I also...
    2. Use a Cloudflare tunnel instead of opening ports on your router directly. This gets your IP address out of public record.
    3. Use Cloudflare's WAF features to limit ingress to trusted countries at a minimum.
    4. If you can get your head around it, lock things down more with features like Cloudflare device authentication.
    5. Especially if you don't do step 4: Integrate Crowdsec into your Nginx setup to block probes, known bot IPs, and common attack vectors.

    All of the above is free, but past step 2 can be difficult to setup. The peace of mind once it is, however, is worth it to me.
