What?
I’ve popped up a web server and within a day had so many hits on the router (thousands per minute) that performance tanked.
Yea, no, any exposed service will get hammered. Frankly I’m surprised that machine I setup didn’t get hacked.
Interestingly (I just found this out) Android permits 1 VPN connection per user profile.
So I run a VPN in my regular profile, and found my work profile wasn’t using it. So I installed Tailscale there, and it works only in the work profile, while my regular VPN only works in my main profile.
If always assumed VPN config was a system-wide thing.
I’ve tested converting DVDs at different resolutions, and playing them on a 60" screen sitting 6’ away.
720 is just fine. I really can’t tell a difference between 720 and 1080, usually. Surprisingly.
My takeaway: jetflix developed a model that worked. Just need to replicate that many times.
Would probably work well for sharing with family /friends.
Guess we’d need to qualify it with more in our personal libraries that we actually want to watch. Lol
piracy run by a couple random schmucks has an infinitely better service AND content selection than the top 4 corporate streaming services combined"
FTFY 😁
Can Proxmox with some containers/VMs address your needs?
Its what I’m running for a media server (a VM) and some containers for things like Pihole and Syncthing.
Professional self-hosting was the way it was done until SaaS took off over the last 20 years - we just never called it that, because it was the only way to do things at the time.
Now we say things like Cloud or On-Premise. And as another commenter proposed, call it “Private Cloud” to sound fancy (wel, it’s not the same thing, but it sure sounds good!).
To my thinking, self-hosting means consumer-level hosting of services for a person, family, friends, generally at home, with VPS as an alternative server host.
Oh man, this is brilliant!
Haha, everything about that story is awesome, right down to the lost and found Jabra ear bud (does Jabra exist any more? At one time their ear pieces were the best).
Yes, re-silvering takes fucking forever. Even with my little setups (a few TB), it can take a day or two to rebuild one drive in an array. One.
I can only imagine how long a PB array would take.
Lol, sorry, I really tried to make it clear what I was doing, honest, I did! 😄
Yes, I have 3 local devices that replicate to each other, one is RAID5, (well, 2 are, but…not for long). And one of them also does backup to a cloud storage.
Not ideal, because 3 devices are colocated, but it’s what I can do right now. I’m working on a backup solution to include friends and family locations (looking to replicate what Crashplan used to provide in their “backup to friends” solution).
I run RAID5 on one device… BUT only because it replicates data that’s on 2 other local devices AND that data is backed up to a cloud storage.
And I still want it to be RAID 6.
Did you verify the ISO checksum?
There’s a Sync thing client for Mac and iOS(Möbius).
Virtualbox has awful performance issues though.
Use a distro that has native KVM.
get Win10 LTSC. It gets updates 2x/year, has very minimal bloat.
Then get O&O Shutup to reduce bloat even more.
And you can permanently license it using Microsoft’s own scripts.
Yea, more like the kind of thing that boots up once a day, does something (say, is a backup destination for something else) then shuts down.
“Intestines” lol. I like it.
Edit: I meant to reply to the other person saying you needed it on all clients.
Yes, Subnet routing is what’s needed. It works fine.
DDOS can happen just from a script hammering on an exposed port trying to brute force credentials.
