  • Which SBC for TV streaming?

    Jump

  • Back in the day I used a raspberry pi 3 for 1080p h.264 and steam link / moonlight. Problem was omxplayer plays up to 1080p60 beautifully, but anything else would struggle. Eventually 'upgraded' to an old laptop to easily YouTube/netflix in the browser too.

  • CopyParty is kind of a great file server

    Jump

  • I fucking love copyparty. It starts simple enough but then the millions of options and configs let you twist it into exactly what you need.

    As someone that runs a server OS that doesn't support docker, it is very refreshing to see a single binary project. It has a focus on being administrator friendly thats really fallen out of fashion these days.

  • Hardware raccomandation for new selfhoster

    Jump

  • I think it would be fine. Friend of mine has Immich on a N100, like you mentioned, the initial ML tasks on a big library takes over 24 hours but once it's done it doesn't need much. I don't have experience running next cloud but the others you mentioned don't need much RAM/CPU.

    ZFS doesn't need much RAM, especially for a two disk 4TB mirror. It soaks up free RAM to use as a cache which makes people think it needs a lot. If the cache is tiny you just end up hitting the actual speed of the HDDs more often, which sounds within your expectations. I dare say you could get by with 8 GB, but 16GB would be plenty.

    I'd only point out if you're looking for it to last 10 years, a neat package like the ugreen might bite you. A more standard diy PC will have more replaceable parts. Would be bigger and more power hungry though.

  • Its a solar powered phone webserver! Made from a pixel 6a, solar panel, and hopes/dreams.

  • That is fricking sick dude!

  • Why is DRM music a thing?

    Jump

  • Does it exist anymore? iTunes went DRM free in 2009. Bandcamp is DRM free. Even streaming services can be readily downloaded from with alternative clients. Who's still selling DRM'd music?

  • I got a new vacuum today.

    Jump

  • Is had my eye on this one for a while. Any good?

  • Apparent issues with ZFS on RPi 5

    Jump

  • Ah kay, definitely not a RAM size problem then.

    iostat -x 5 Will print out per drive stats every 5 seconds. The first output is an average since boot. Check all of the drives have similar values while performing a write. Might be one drive is having problems and slows everything down, hopefully unlikely if they are brand new drives.

    zpool iostat -w Will print out a latency histogram. Check if any have a lot above 1s and if it's in the disk or sync queues. Here's mine with 4 HDDs in z1 working fairly happily for comparison:

    The init_on_alloc=0 kernel flag I mentioned below might still be worth trying.

  • Apparent issues with ZFS on RPi 5

    Jump

  • After some googling:

    Some Linux distributions (at least Debian, Ubuntu) enable init_on_alloc option as security precaution by default. This option can help to prevent possible information leaks and make control-flow bugs that depend on uninitialized values more deterministic.

    Unfortunately, it can lower ARC throughput considerably (see bug).

    If you’re ready to cope with these security risks 6, you may disable it by setting init_on_alloc=0 in the GRUB kernel boot parameters.

    I think it's set to 1 on Raspberry Pi OS, you set it in /boot/cmdline.txtI think.

    Exhaustive ZFS performance tuning guide

  • Apparent issues with ZFS on RPi 5

    Jump

  • sync=disabled will make ZFS write to disk every 5 seconds instead of when software demands it, which maybe explains your LED behavior.

    Jeff Geerling found that writes with Z1 was 74 MB/sec using the Radxa Penta SATA HAT with SSDs. Any HDD should be that fast, the SATA hat is likely the bottleneck.

    Are you performing writes locally, or over smb?

    Can try iostat or zpool iostat to monitor drive writes and latencies, might give a clue.

    How much RAM does the Pi 5 have?

  • Apache2 attack helicopter

  • getting 522 error Cloudflaired + Jellyfin + fail2ban

    Jump

  • My understanding is that it's technically against their TOS but loosely enforced. They don't specify precise limits since they probably change over time and region. Once you get noticed, they'll block your traffic until you pay. Hence you can find people online that have been using it for years no problem, while other folks have been less lucky.

    Basically their business strategy is to offer too-good-to-be-true free services that people start using and relying on, then charging once the bandwidth gets bigger.

    It used to be worse, and all of cloudflare's services were technically limited to HTML files, but selectively enforced. They've since changed and clarified their policy a bit. As far as I've ever heard, they don't give a toss about the legality of your content, unless you're a neo Nazi.

  • getting 522 error Cloudflaired + Jellyfin + fail2ban

    Jump

  • I'm guessing the cloudflared daemon isn't connecting to jellyfin. You want to use http://. Also is jellyfin the hostname of the VM? Using localhost or 127.0.0.1 might be better ways to specify the same VM without relying on DNS for anything.

    Personal opinion, but I wouldn't bother with fail2ban, it's a bit of effort to get it to work with cloudflare tunnel and easy to lock yourself out. Cloudflare's own zero trust feature would be more secure and only need fiddling around cloudflare's dashboard.

  • The Pebble Has Been Brought Back

    Jump

  • It runs basically the same PebbleOS, so they'll work with any app that works with the original Pebbles. They plan to keep using the community app hosting at https://apps.rebble.io/. There's also GadgetBridge that's compatible. Eric mentioned on HN the intention for an official open source library that can be used to make other companion apps too.

  • Australia won’t retaliate against ‘unjustified’ US tariffs on steel and aluminum

    Jump

  • NumdaQA already pointed out you're utterly wrong, but some additional context might help:

    • The opposition says the government should have grovelled more to avoid the tariff, they wouldn't ever retaliate with their own.
    • The Australian Steel industry does not give a shit.

    So while I get it makes sense in Canada, and we are similar countries in a lot of ways, but on this issue we're just at different political places.

  • Why can't we go back to small phones?

    Jump

  • I had a 5 II too, used lineageOS for years, worked great. Doesn't totally solve the battery or fingerprint reader. My screen got the dreaded green lightsaber too. Nail in the coffin was Australia turning off 3G so it can't make calls anymore. (Wasn't officially sold here so they didn't bother loading it with VoLTE profiles)

  • This was Likely Recently Auto-Installed on your Phone.

    Jump

  • Seems weird to have a separate app read sent and received messages? Is it poking holes in the Messages app sandbox?

  • NAS Hardware selection

    Jump

  • Consider something like the aoostar R1 with Intel N100. Small and low power like a commercial consumer NAS but cheaper and you can chuck whatever OS you want.
