Replace NAS drives with larger ones and then repopulate data from your backup? That way you get to test your recovery and restore procedure at the same time.
Nothing is hard when you know what you're doing. :)Being able to completely wipe your compute machine and not worry is nice and imo easier.
For only Jellyfin, then I agree - if that is where it stops you could run it all on an N100 integrated motherboard and have a lean sleek system that hosts your files and your streaming server. But when your services starts being too much for the N100 then it's nice to separate it a bit and for me it feels natural to split it between compute/storage.
Separating your services from your storage makes things a lot easier in my opinion.Setup one machine as a NAS and have that manage your (preferably redundant and backuped if storing personal photos or other unique data) storage, then share it to the rest of your selfhosting over nfs and smb.You could either go for a prebuilt NAS like Ugreen NASync DXP2800 or build your own m-itx with a Jonsbo N2 case and an N100 motherboard or whatever you're comfortable with.
Your jellyfin server then accesses the media libraries with a simple mount (/mnt/media). Same with your tdarr server and tdarr nodes.It's much easier to experiment and reinstall services when you have your storage separated from them.
I can't buy a 14tb hdd for that price here in Sweden, but I have no idea about your local prices. Is it new or refurb?
PSUDid some checking and my favourite shop recommends 800W PSU for the 7900 XTX 24 GB GPU so I switched yours out for a Seasonic 1000W - https://hwbusters.com/psus/seasonic-focus-gx-1000-atx-3-2024-psu-review/Seems to be other PSUs with better score according to my link, feel free to read and switch.Gives you lots of power available if you wanna add a bunch of hard drives to it later on when your Jellyfin library grows.
If you wanna own your audiobooks you might wanna check out https://libro.fm/ - they allow you to download the bought audiobook without drm.I gladly accept tips for similar sites when it comes to buying ebooks.
Solarpunk is a rebellion against the structural pessimism in our late visions of how the future will be.Not to say it replaces pessimism with Pollyanna-ish optimism, but with a cautious hopefulness and a daring to tease out the positive potentials in bad situations.Hope that perhaps the grounds of an apocalypse (revelation) might also contain the seeds of something better; something more ecological, liberatory, egalitarian, and vibrant than what came before, if we work hard at cultivating those seeds.
Solarpunk is a movement in speculative fiction, art, fashion, and activism that seeks to answer and embody the question “what does a sustainable civilization look like, and how can we get there?” [...]
We are solarpunks because optimism has been taken away from us and we are trying to take it back.
We are solarpunks because the only other options are denial or despair.
At its core, Solarpunk is a vision of a future that embodies the best of what humanity can achieve: a post-scarcity, post-hierarchy, post-capitalistic world where humanity sees itself as part of nature and clean energy replaces fossil fuels.
The “punk” in Solarpunk is about rebellion, counterculture, post-capitalism, decolonialism and enthusiasm. It is about going in a different direction than the mainstream, which is increasingly going in a scary direction.
I don't know of any good way to view that for all instances at the same time but /instances have a Blocked instances tab you can look through for each and every instance, f.e.https://lemmy.world/instances
mander.xyz states that the main focus of the instance is the natural sciences, and the scope encompasses all of the STEM fields but do already have !philosophy@mander.xyz, !history@mander.xyz and !linguistics@mander.xyz (although those comms aren't very active) so I agree it seems to be a good fit.
