$5 servers don't include a GPU for Jellyfin transcoding

just use a tailscale exit node

you should probably include the instructions in your estate document kit

I am on the older side and do not plan to be in another long term relationship. not a helpful answer maybe

Why? It's TCP/UDP connection data for troubleshooting you can turn off. No privacy issue there.

RAID is not a backup because anything happening within that file system happens to both drives immediately.

If you want TLS for your websites/webapps you're gonna need a DNS name to get a cert

i literally do not care about that metadata

They're compressed in x265, most web browsers can decompress that natively ;) Heck, when you watch something on YouTube you are decompressing the content ont he fly

But yes, Jellyfin can also natively transcode formats on the fly if you stick a GPU in there: https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/post-install/transcoding/

- They're not using a VPS, they're using a server hosted inside their house

- Lots of ISPs use CGNAT which means you can't always have direct access, especially on mobile. Tailscale solves that via DERP (https://tailscale.com/docs/reference/derp-servers)

- Static public IP addresses for ingress cost money from the cloud provider, they're not cheap either

- Having a public IP makes the ports open to attackers, using Tailscale the attacker has to hack your tailnet before they can hack your server

- You have to buy a DNS name for your public IP, you don't need one if you use Tailscale thanks to MagicDNS

- Tailscale has a bunch of nice features like Let's Encrypt integration, OAuth support, Tailscale SSH, etc. that make the experience quite nice overall

That all probably fits comfortably in like 12-14GB easily

Yeah I do something similar, a local backup on an external drive that mostly lives in a different place and a last resort backup in glacier

This is also common for people inside China who need to access external internet because:

1. All the VPN providers are blocked anyway

2. You have to disguise your traffic to look like non-VPN commercial traffic, anything that looks obviously like an outbound VPN gets blocked by the Great Firewall

Weirdly, my "Linux ISOs" are compressed in x265 :)

read the OP, they mentioned home servers too

I have an encrypted offsite backup. A lot of people I know with home servers work out a deal with a family member to have cross-backups with each other.

> How are you adding new Linux ISOs?

With qBittorrent.

> Do you prune the ISOs you've already installed somewhere, or are they kept around to be re-installed?

I keep them all. Compression algorithms are pretty good these days, as is storage density.

You can thank Microsoft for killing off S3 sleep support: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OHKKcd3sx2c

No, RAM, GPU and SSD prices are going up week over week, they're only going to get more expensive.

For the hardware you get, it's overpriced. Go look at a prebuilt on Costco.com, for example. I see this on there right now at $1100:

Intel Core Ultra 5 225F - GeForce RTX 5060 - 32GB RAM - 1TB SSD

> Con: Since it's Linux-based I think online games with anti-cheat won't work, which seems like a significant downside in terms of utility.

EAC does work on Linux, but the dev has to set a feature flag per-game. Check the specific games you want to play.

Sure. And regardless, companies shouldn't be allowed to pay immigrants on restrictive visas below market rate.

You must be living under a rock if you think the price of gas or food hasn't changed recently, or that $50k is easy for a family to live on in the US. Or that the price of gas is currently caused by high wages.

And no, I don't live in a major city where rent is $4k.

When they're paying $125k instead of the market rate of $200k + equity, absolutely.

Six figures isn't what it used to be. I know families making low six figures who are struggling financially because the cost of living is so high now, especially food, gasoline, healthcare, and housing.

Whaaaaaat? That's illegal! I'm just an OS enthusiast!

I have some Linux ISOs I ripped myself, but it can be especially hard to find older ISOs from other countries - you usually can't find them on normal websites. It's really nice to have them on my own server and not worry about them disappearing someday.

Like I said, this is on an old desktop PC that I shoved some spare SSDs into. I have a few thousand Linux ISOs on there. I have an rclone job running regular encrypted offsite backups as well, so that my Linux ISOs are safe from hardware issues.

Becuase it is multiple orders of magnitude slower and more expensive to do it with an LLM. Look at Typesafe's Doom demo where they run complex queries tens of times per second for around $7 an hour.

There are classes of problem where this shifts the economics from "paying a human to do this is cheaper than AI" to "the software is now cheaper than the human"

This is useful for classification problems; any time you need to write software that looks at some fuzzy data and needs to make a probabilistic decision. It's far more cost-efficient and performant to use this type of model instead of an LLM.

Before now you had to train a model on your specific classification problem, now these new models don't require any specific training at all to do pretty well on novel problems.

On my home server (just an older desktop PC)

- qBittorrent for "Linux ISOs"

- Jellyfin so I can watch/read/listen to my "Linux ISOs"

- Tailscale so me, my family and friends can watch/read/listen to my "Linux ISOs" from anywhere in the world

- Self hosting my photo albums. Immich is a handy choice for this. Very useful for personal photos you don't want to trust to strange tech companies.

- Gitea for self-hosting git repos for some personal projects I have not open-sourced.

Specifically, it happened a few weeks ago when Typesafe released Jev; this is OpenAI's competitor to Typesafe.
