Redirects.

If you try to connect to hypixel.net via port 443, it redirects you to the html page.

If you try to connect to play.hypixel.net via port 25565, it redirects you to the minecraft server.

You can setup proxmox and install android x86 or blissOS in a VM

I think it’s literally called “SQLite”. I haven’t used it though, so idk how good it is…

TrueNAS Scale if you want something simple that just works and Proxmox if you wanna configure/customize stuff with a lot more power under the hood…

Imo, either choice is better than unraid.

doesn’t vscode have an extension that does that?

My question is… why proton drive and not github or codeberg or… literally any VCS?

I was also one of those people who didn’t realize that it copied UUIDs. I only figured that out, because I imagined that I’d have to update the fstab to point to the UUIDs of the partitions on the new drive.

I don’t do full backups, just of the things I really care about

I already have all data I care about backed up, so even if I lose some, it’s not a big deal

I do have backups, I just don’t wanna bother reconfiguring the system and reinstalling everything

Hm, using a smaller block size does make sense, but I imagine that cloning an entire drive with 512 byte blocks is gonna take 10 million years. Especially this one, since the main reason I’m suspecting that it has started failing is because it’s slowed down to the point where it drags down the entire system when even the smallest of loads hit it…

Yeah, but how do I “Just dd it”. I know all about disk destroyer, so I’m a bit terrified of dd and have never really used it like that before…

Yeah, but… how. I’m a bit terrified of dd and have only really used it to make images of drives before…

I mostly use Spotify, but have the flacs of a few albums I really like on navidrome. As for how I got them… Yeah. I do have the for CDs a few of them but I don’t have a CD reader and most of them are completely destroyed, so I feel like piracy is justified for those.

You sell it and buy a normal one /s

150$ is rather ambitious for what you are describing as a custom made low power server. Managing to build something… Anything commercial out of new, hell even refurbished parts that has enough horse power to run anything more than a pihole/DNS server at this price point would be a challenge and a half. If you’re going refurbished/2nd hand, you’re likely gonna spend half of that on just shipping the parts to you.

I believe you are vastly underestimating the price of new low end parts and vastly overestimating the capabilities and availability of old micro servers. I’d say something like this would work at a price range of around 300~400$ (and even that’s ambitious imo).

And even then, that’s a NICHE audience you’d be targeting. It would be people who don’t wanna pay subscriptions, but also don’t wanna be bothered to spend a day or 2 figuring out how to set up a simple linux box on an old computer they have. I’m not saying that audience doesn’t exist, it’s just veeeeery niche.

I’m biased towards TrueNAS scale, because in my experience, it’s been really rock solid, running on bare metal. It also allows you to setup things like Nextcloud/Tailscale/ a lot more, in 1 click from their “app store”. It’s also got all the virtualization bells and whistles. As for ZFS, again, just like everything else, it’s been rock solid and setting up a ZFS pool is pretty much done for you when you install TN Scale.

As for remote access, I’ve always personally done it via a local Wireguard server and can’t really compare it to tailscare or whatever cloudflare does… Because I’ve never used those.

If you need a GPU just for encoding, go on the 2nd hand market and pick up a used Nvidia RTX 2000/3000 card. Intel Arc could also work, but it’s a bit quirky afaik…

I mean, all of my cables are CAT 5e and I can easily pull a gigabit down and up from my NAS… Which has a gigabit NIC, so ig you’re right.

CAT8 40MB/s

I think you went a but overkill with that one, high quality CAT6 cables would have done the same job, but hey, if it works, it works.
