not so much the variant but the tooling you’ll use…

ie, ive been usin docker+portainer

my fav setup is kodi, emby, minecraft… all the arrs’ running in containers on mint no problem. i suspect any docker compatible variant would work, but mint is groovy.

kinda smells like truenas with its datasets

i have this idea that communities should be created due to some actual pressure… as a solution to a group needing a home away from some general purpose stream… like when star trek memes took over the main memes channels and thus, required that signal be extracted into its own community…

you cant just build a community and hope the content creators will come… they must already need a home.

do you rent or own?

hehehhehe

i spose…

my anecdote;

ive been runnin drives like this for 30 years. ive literally never had a cold storage drive go bad out of the case… mostly because their hourly use rate is kept so incredibly low. even back in the day of very unreliable drives…

they even retain their data better than modern ssds

3 methods for me…

1. (daily) live nas backup (I have 2 of these mirrored for giggles)
2. (90 days) cold, manual copy of nas data to drive stored in pelican case
3. (live) cheap cloud storage of essential data in backblaze encrypted vault (duplicati)

this is one of the primary pillars of the u.s. democracy people.

if this falls, the u.s. should be officially declared a fascist state. there will be nothing from preventing the u.s. government from crushing any and all media it deems unworthy including and specifically your personal blogs.

this is removal of freedom of speech with extra steps to pretend like its not.

its harder than it looks

i would just point out that lemmy is merely a single platform swimming in the fediverse content waters… there are other options that provide differing features while interacting with the same or more content. see https://fedidb.com/

im an mbin cheerleader

dont forget its the fediverse, it exists somewhere;

i disagree that tor or tor-level anonymity is some magical requirement to defeat corporations.

you speak as if lemmy isnt a bunch of independent instances. maybe step outside the lemmy tree and take a look at the ap forest

sometimes… the 911 operators had machines that connected to a shitload of audio sources simultaneously… think all emergency service radio bands (police/fire/sheriff) as well as the land-lines and cellular networks… this was back before texting to 911 was a thing.

i was always testing external radios and phone sources. the cell providers were the worst (at the time)… sometimes 911 would work for Primeco but not Verizon or whatever so each cell provider had to be tested independently.

it was just weird first doing it as i grew up terrified i would accidentally dial 911.

i got a job working tech support for 911 and had to make test calls regularly from different sources

the fediverse is incredibly public.

its like having your own little radio station broadcasting into the void. once those waves hit the air you cant take it back.

deletes/edits are niceties… but the fact is you put it on the fediverse and everyone else gets to decide what to do with it.

i got kicked out of scouts for calling it boring, useless and stupid… I say ‘kicked’ but it was more likely a mutual decision.

mormons are boring

Dudes got 1.5 billion. theyre good

yes my world will burn when they crack into my jellyfin instance and magically break out of its docker container and then what? goo nowhere on its vlan?

literally thousands of self-hosted jellyfin/emby instances and the support forums are just chocked full of people getting hacked via it! so many!

oh wait, no there arent

oh noes! im so ddead!
