/hsg/ is about learning and expanding your horizons. Know all about NAS? Learn virtualization. Spun up some VMs? Learn about networking by standing up a OPNsense/PFsense box and configuring some VLANs. There's always more to learn and chances to grow. Think you’re god-tier already? Setup OpenStack and report back.
>What software should I run?
Install Gentoo. Or whatever flavor of *nix is best for the job or most comfy for you. Jellyfin/Emby/Plex to replace Netflix, Nextcloud to replace Googlel, Ampache/Navidrome to replace Spotify, the list goes on. Look at the awesome self-hosted list and ask.
>Why should I have a home server?
De-botnet your life. Learn something new. Serving applications to yourself, your family, and your frens feels good. Put your tech skills to good use for yourself and those close to you. Store their data with proper availability redundancy and backups and serve it back to them with a /comfy/ easy to use interface.

QRD: darling 2019 CJR and B-die @ JEDEC 2666V is bulletproof, buttery smooth, even in 2DPC on a Ryzen IMC. Can post more info if anyone gives a fuck, will leave it at that for now.

I set up Yamtrack tracker integration with Jellyfin.
Now when I finish watching any of my backlogged Movie/TV show it will change its status from "planning" to "complete" in Yamtrack. Previously I used Nextcloud tasks to keep track on movies and was manually adding them and marking them as watched.
I've also migrated my games tracking from HLTB to Yamtrack with about 330 entries.

Never heard of it before. Also not a great sign that I Googled the company and like the second result was a Reddit thread saying that the company has sold their email address info to third parties.

What causes this? I unironically think UNRAID "people" are disgusting, plex gives me the ick, but not as much as UNRAID.
How can you be a free, ownership-loving homelabber, but still a cuck? I just donated to TrueNAS and Jellyfin.

I've tried jirafeau, quickdrop, erugo, zipline, pingvin. Unless I'm clinically retarded none of them can manage all of those things. Is there something else that just works, or is it time to roll my own slop?

People complain about drive failures, but in my experience, they rarely die unless you abuse the absolute shit out of them.

I need to purge a lot of porn off my server is there a good way to manage this? The way I am doing it now is opening a video from the file browser in mpv seeking through it then closing and deleting it from the file browser. This is clumsy for a lot of files is there a better way? Maybe something I can open a folder and delete the video files from inside the media viewer?

I've had two drives die without any abuse. One of them was a 4 TB Seagate IronWolf, and the other one was a https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ST3000DM001 also from Seagate.

then get a thermostat that actually cuts off power to the unit when it gets cold enough, the built in one sounds like it has a minimum threshold set way too high for your needs. you will lose overall efficiency from the short running times and you will have waves of warm and cold instead of a consistent cool temperature, but at least you will have the final say as to when the room gets cold enough.
or, like the other anon said, just get something that fits the spec.

That would work but I would still have to go in and delete them individually from the file browser. If the program generated the thumbnails and let me delete the corresponding file from the image viewer then I would be in business.
I might just have to delete files using stash it will probably be a little bit better than what im doing currently

I think a lot of them bought into a "tech guy" identity but never really developed the skills to actually make the most of that. There was a period where being a tech guy meant buying "gadgets", and you didn't really have to know much about programming or read any documentation to use them, except maybe carry out some arcane button or software invocation in the user manual once at the beginning.
They still hold onto that identity, but technology has largely become more general purpose and more user-customizable, but they aren't actually very good at that, so they use these premade solutions that trigger the "exchanged money for technology" feeling that they associate with their identity.
It's very strange to me. It feels like you go to most selfhosting or homeserver online places and most of the users can't even tie their shoes, let alone tell you anything about how a computer works, but they can list off the specs religiously. They don't know what those specs are for really, but they know they're "better".
They might be able to muddle through a guide, but they don't actually know what any of it does. It's like those arcane invocations they remember from way back when.

The modern day tech guy owns 5 apple products, drives a tesla, and has a dji drone. Maybe if they're supper technical they'll have built their own pc. They learned from Ltt.

Git gud fg1t
Idk probably stop being poor and get drives of the same capacity. Or maybe just take the capacity hit and make the partitions the size of the smallest drive. You can just create another partition with the remaining space on that disk/s and still use it.

Use case for capacity?

If you absolutely must run a collection of e-waste that you didn't even burn-in (if you even know how to), MergeFS and SnapRAID exists.

*Qualcomm. Because it's cheaper, which is a classic Chinese bait and switch after developing brand recognition.

If you absolutely need Wi-Fi 7 and OpenWRT, your only option is the Banana Pi BPI-R4.

Kek I agree for core routing which should be upstreamed, but for AP flexibility it's nice.

OPNsense is pretty nice, although Unbound on it ran like crap for me (really slow resolution speeds with blocklists installed).
After setting up a separate VM with Technitium DNS server on the same Proxmox cluster, performance is so much better, even with just using it with plain forwarder! recommended to everyone
>>
>>108957308
It's a really solid router, if you can use an Intel NIC. You really need to do a lot of trial and error to get it working and have a deep understanding of networking, but it's a fun experience if you like tinkering and slowly getting your projects up and running from the ground up.
As I said on my previous message though, Unbound in my opinion is not as good as a DNS server as Technitium. I'd use both in conjuntion for the best results.

I hate systemd
The fstab generator generates broken units if you include the _netdev option when the filesystem type implicitly causes a dependency on network-online.target (ex. 9p)
This causes circular dependencies which it then arbitrarily starts pruning, causing things to randomly break
Instead of just realizing "oh hmm I declared this unit as requiring the network to come up before mounting, perhaps I can drop this mount option"
Why the fuck do they even recommend /etc/fstab, when their guidance for programmatically generating mounts is to just fall back to manually defining units anyway
