Yeah depending on what OP wants to do with the machines. I've been gaming on Linux for over a year now on my desktop and haven't had any issues. Especially since they're using AMD cards.

Yeah I agree. I'm trying to be optimistic about whoever we have next isn't going to sell us out or pull a USA. PP doesn't instill much confidence but I just hope he has some heart or desire to do good and not be evil.

Not that I support PP (also I hate that I need to specify that first) but he's got a couple videos on YouTube that I thought were fairly well done addressing a couple things regarding trade and some plans.

Thanks a lot for Immich and for posting here. Much appreciated the hard work this year and helping myself and family on our self hosted journey.

Performance mostly, encoding is better, reducing load on my NAS and using it specifically for storage. Immich performs better as well, it's pretty resource hungry I found. I also am planning to set up Frigate for home security and that's the main reason I wanted something with a bit more power.

I just recently discovered proxmox and am slowly moving my docker containers off my NAS. Picked up a used Intel NUC, i5-8259, 32gb ram, 512gb HDD. It's been great so far, very happy with its ability paired with proxmox.

I downloaded and tested as well and noticed right away there is no sleep timer which I use every night. I actually quite like the audiobook shelf app. It's served my wife and I quite well this past year.

Why is this thread full of people who want the human race to be eradicated? There are good people and beautiful things in this world that humans have been involved in.

I haven't listened to this and not sure if I will but.. Is this the only thing that went poorly for Trump on this? I've seen this posted all over but was Rogan on Trump's side with everything else?

 

My wife bought some Govee Smart LED string lights. We have VLANs setup in our house to isolate IoT devices and setup the new lights on that WiFi. But when we use the app to control them it requires an account and precise and "while using app" location data. The app does not work at all without enabling permissions for location.

Am I being paranoid? This wasn't an initial setup thing the app is unusable without location enabled.

She really wants smart LED lights for outside the house. Is there an option anyone knows of that might be a bit more privacy oriented?

Thanks.

My first time building any sort of furniture. I'm a journeyman redseal carpenter in Canada and spent my career building houses for 15 years and recently started a new job where I have access to a shop and some better tools.

It would be a nice feature to be able to select which installed browser jerboa defaults to opening external links in.

 

I have sonarr, radarr, gluetun and qbittorrent with overseer allowing my family to request movies and automatically download. I only have public indexers in prowlarr (1337x, kickass torrents, etc.)

This NAS also has a lot of important data like photos and documents.

I am used to vetting my torrents pretty thoroughly before downloading but now it's all automatic.

What level of risk am I running with my data when downloading things in this manner? Is there a chance of malware getting onto my NAS? Ransomware? Is the risk pretty minimal?

 
 

“Dry conditions are not new to the Special Areas, but ongoing moisture deficiencies and hot temperatures have devastated crops and pasture throughout the region. Producers are struggling to find enough grass, water, and feed for their cattle. Farmers are facing widespread crop failures. Significant grasshopper infestations are making a very difficult situation worse in many parts of the Special Areas. Declaring an agricultural disaster is one way we can raise awareness of how serious this problem is with the province and with the federal government.” Jordon Christianson, Chair

Synology vs DIY (self.selfhosted)
submitted 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) by Policeshootout to c/selfhosted@lemmy.world
 

I currently use an old (2013?) Intel NUC with a 12TB MyBook plugged in as a simple Plex server. I want to get a NAS. Right now at Amazon or B&H I can get a DS923+ w/ two 16TB HDDS for about $1000.

My main question is if I should try to go the DIY route. Am I going to possibly regret putting all my eggs in the Synology basket? I like the DS923+ because of it's small form factor mainly. But I am sort of keen to use an open source OS like TrueNas.

My main uses are going to be Plex hosting, photo management for myself and wife and data backup. I am a bit of an enthusiast when it comes to electronics. I love messing around with things, trying new software, breaking stuff and fixing it. Are there any major restrictions I am going to experience with Synology? Thanks a bunch!

-edit- Thank you everyone for all the replies! Super helpful, Lemmy rocks :)

I currently use an Ubuntu distro (Mint) with Plex installed serving media to my local network. I installed docker last night so I can test out some photo hosting services.

Is there a benefit to running Plex through docker vs the traditional method?
