metronome for the other components to practice playing songs at the right bpm
merthyr1831@lemmy.mlto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•how to set up a remote managed node for momEnglish4·6 days agoYeah even if you’re someone who is super concerned about Jellyfin’s API safety, it’ll likely be less maintenance setting them up on tailscale than duplicating the streaming hardware. But that’s assuming OP’s family are as tech illiterate as mine
I have two 4TB in Raid 10 (ZFS Mirror) and two 8TB as the same. All in TrueNAS Scale.
TrueNAS is pretty good for a basic setup imo!
merthyr1831@lemmy.mlto Linux@lemmy.ml•Does Windows virtual machine crash due to low RAM?English3·9 days agoI would consider creating a swapfile if you have an SSD. There should be countless tutorials for doing it on Ubuntu.
It might mean your windows or Ubuntu install gets sluggish, but even 32GB (less than 10% of a typical storage drive!) of spare swap space can let your active and memory-hogging processes breathe instead of invoking the SystemD-OOM killer. Also, it’s essentially free! You’ll benefit from more RAM though.
For what it’s worth, I think Ubuntu is also fairly aggressive with memory management. I remember complaints that it was a little too hasty to kill user processes under memory-limited scenarios. not sure if that was addressed
merthyr1831@lemmy.mlto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•What are the minimum or recommended requirements for a personal home server?English10·14 days agoA computer. Seriously that’s it. Of course depends on your use case (media servers usually need more than a web host for example)
merthyr1831@lemmy.mlto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Is there a FOSS selfhosteable alternative to iLovePDF?English1·16 days agobig up Stirling. it’s super easy to host and packed with features. one of my favourite apps
merthyr1831@lemmy.mlOPto Programmer Humor@lemmy.ml•I spent a week debugging a build issueEnglish21·20 days agoYup. I got our QA guy to help debug it and he was like “maybe just dont upgrade the dodgy dependency and delete your cache” lmfao yup fixed it
spend a week trawling github and documentation pages only to realise you forgot to delete your cached dependencies
merthyr1831@lemmy.mlto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•3-2-1 Backups: How do you do the 1 offsite backup?English10·21 days agoRsync to a Hetzner storage box. I dont do ALL my data, just the nextcloud data. The rest is…linux ISOs… so I can redownload at my convenience.
Box64 helps a lot with ARM compatibility, but yes less compatible than a comparable 3.2k gaming PC on x86
merthyr1831@lemmy.mlto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Your favorite "one click" self hosted open source app installer/server manager?English2·29 days agodiet pi counts right? most of the software in their managed repo is a straightforward install and largely preconfigured for daily use. It was my first server OS and im very fond of it
merthyr1831@lemmy.mlto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•That's all folks, Plex is starting to charge for sharingEnglish2·30 days agoOh yeah I don’t buy the backwards compat stuff because you can version an API to preserve backwards compatibility to sensible ends.
I’d be very interested to see cases of streaming or copyright lawyers essentially hacking users to litigate them. The only stuff Ive ever seen on snooping by corps on pirates it’s usually collecting PII from public sources like torrent clients without VPN coverage.
merthyr1831@lemmy.mlto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•That's all folks, Plex is starting to charge for sharingEnglish2·30 days agoI know about adblockers but these websites are still usually ass even with them.
I don’t mind battling them for something like an F1 livestream but when you want your own collection of stuff that won’t get randomly shit on by domain seizures or ISP blocking, there’s a reason I’m self hosting my media.
merthyr1831@lemmy.mlto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•That's all folks, Plex is starting to charge for sharingEnglish3·1 month agoThey doubled the price lol. And why pay $80 for something that they have the right to gut at any time?
merthyr1831@lemmy.mlto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•That's all folks, Plex is starting to charge for sharingEnglish4·1 month agoI use a non-rooted docker, reverse proxy, and cloudfare domain. I know Jellyfin has some API security issues but I’m still unconvinced that any of them can be used to escalate to any level that would threaten my server (or even my instance of Jellyfin).
merthyr1831@lemmy.mlto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•That's all folks, Plex is starting to charge for sharingEnglish23·1 month agoYou’re not paying for software maintenance, you’re paying a subscription service to a private company that has already decided to cut back on features that others also thought they were paying to maintain.
If you want to actually pay for software maintenance, migrate to Jellyfin and pay them instead, rather than filtering your payments through middle managers and shareholders first.
merthyr1831@lemmy.mlto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•That's all folks, Plex is starting to charge for sharingEnglish5·1 month agoNo matter how bad someone might think Jellyfin is, it is a million times better than subjecting yourself to endless ad slop on one of these ““free movies”” websites.

It’s a pain but also it’s no surprise that DNS and ipv6 are premium when ipv4 and dynamic IP works so well for 99% of us. Even if you wanna host something publicly there are totally free services and software tools to cover most if not all caveats of not using ipv6 (for now).
I have selfhosted for years and only paid for a domain name recently.
