If it’s only 2 TB I’d go ssd.

And don’t get a super cheap one, but something from like Samsung or Sandisk or WD or sth.

You can go PCIe to m.2 pcie nvme.

You can use syncthing to get files from all of your devices to your central server and then use something like FreeFileSync to backup the entire folder structure to another drive.

Hey! I got around to test it with a VGA cable and it fucking works! Watched a Seinfeld episode on it.

Looks sick

What’s that?

What’s that?

It does

Nice - I didn’t have a VGA cable handy but I took it with me and will try when I get my hands on one

EDIT: the LED lights up though

It was outside my dad’s house - It turns out he found it with some old tech in his house and pit it out there hoping someone would take it.

I took it the next time I came.

EDIT: he says it was out there 2 weeks

damn, that seems awfully complicated just to connect to your RSS reader hahah

True.

But I think this semi chaotic reshuffling is also somewhat exciting and reminds me of what I think the early days of online communities were like

I, too think that the change is the thing that has left me hollow.

Thanks. I mean I probably don’t have that threat level, but you are right - it also feels good to have isolation.

The downside was the cost of the 2nd machine (~400$) and running it (~5$/month) and the time involved.

But I tend toward thinking it is the right choice

I haven’t. I always liked to have the possibility to use GNOME on my machine. That wouldn’t work then if I were to have a Ubuntu VM, right?

And do you know if I would I get quicksync access to the i3 for transcoding ?

Thanks

OMG thank you so much : )

I’m trying to talk a lot of friends into using my. Jellyfin and even helped them set up tailscale and all that. But they keep going back to paying Netflix etc.

Also wanna know

Also thought about that a lot. The most important is that your people can access your data. My partner and bestie both have LUKS keys on all of my devices.

Maybe do a test run with them to see if they can actually access it.

Hahaha true for me too that they would struggle

Woooow looking slick
