DAS is 1:1, It’s more or less like just connecting en external hard drive to your computer.

SAN can do some crazier stuff. You can take arrays and attach them to LUN’s and to sign lungs to separate computers. You have fiber optic routing and virtual networks, sometimes iSCSI. But that stuff is extremely expensive and power hungry and did I mention extremely expensive

NAS is basically just a computer with disks attached to it sharing the data through one of her protocols you need.

For home gaming, even sharing with a extended family, truenas, unraid, or just a computer with ZFS is ideal.

ZFS is the elite but slightly harder way to do it. Your volumes all need to be the same size even if your disks are different sizes. There’s regular maintenance that needs to be applied, But it’s very fast and very flexible and very easy to expand.

Unraid is very slow but very flexible, the discs aren’t in a raid they’re in a JBOD, so really really slow, But if you lose one disc all you’ve lost is the data on that disk, and you can run up to two parity discs. As long as you’re parity drives are larger than your largest data drive.

Truenas is more of an unraid type situation but with a ZFS. Both unraid and truenas support virtualization and/or containers for running applications and give you nice metrics and meters and stuff.

You can hand roll with Debian, ZFS, docker and proxmox.

I think DAS is pretty much dead. If you have a ton of ephemeral data, and you need to do high speed work on it It’s a reasonable solution. But I think for the most part eight terabyte nvme has made it pretty niche.

I’ve already left most of that. But I still have an Android phone that can’t survive without most of that.

NFC payments, wearables.

Getting rid of my custom domain workspace OAuth is a freaking nightmare.

Porque no los dos?

There is no functional difference between them scraping you systematically and them coming to you on behalf of user. They’re coming to scrape you either way, being asked by someone is just going to make them do it in a smarter fashion.

Also, if you’re not using Gemini, damned if Google.com doesn’t search you with it anyway. They want these AIs trained bad, sooner or later almost all searching will be done through AI. There will eventually be no option.

You are correct that blocking all AI calls well eventually make your search results not work.

So if you want organic traffic, you have to allow ai scraping eventually. You’re just going to get diminishing returns until a point.

The secret is to make awful doughnuts with da bomb spiked filling and offer them a compliment doughnut when they arrive. Water is $3, soda is $4, and milk/soy milk is $5.

Oh, Plex has the risk. A vulnerability in Plex is how LastPass lost all their source code. A vulnerability in Tautulli which he had ported outside surfaced his auth token, then he was able to use the auth token to get into Plex and they were able to hit an rce vulnerability and pull the entire git repo the guy had locally.

The key difference is Plex at least has a security team and their name on the line with their investors.

I don’t need a bed, but an air mattress is a HARD no.

I’d rather sleep on a clear carpet with a blanket.

Legal yeah, but it doesn’t stop … thousands? tens of thousands? of random porn sites. There’s no shortage of community driven porn at the moment. Federated solutions only seem to pop up when there’s sufficient non-legal censorship of community-driven content.

This pretty much HAS to exist.

We really need to thank Microsoft. They’re pushing a LOT of people to try out the free stuff.

but, think of it… RACING STRIPES!!! or FLAMES!!!

You use bamboo skewers to mount the things off the bottom and dampen vibration. mabey use an internal flap and bent the disks out the front and the PSU out the back. If you have enough cardboard, you could even bend it a bit and do like a jet engine with the fan sticking out the front.

cardboard papercraft homelab… I almost want to get rid of my 42 U rand and make a voltron now.

IKR, WTF reads manpages. probably boils rabbits in their spare time.

Just needs a 10" cardboard box with proper holes

I hadn’t been to the optometrist in forever. When my reading vision finally went, I went ahead and got checked got an exact prescription stylish comfortable frames relatively inexpensive with insurance. Then I went out and bought +1 +2 and +2.5

I keep the spare one in my car, the spare two is In my backpack I do fine electronics work every now and then

The 2.5 lives on my workbench I can get real damn close to something to see what the hell’s going on, much better than even when I had decent reading vision.

Glasses suck, but they’re also pretty cool.

I mean, it’s the preferable timeline to what we’re experiencing now in the US.

A lot of neophyte self hosters Will try running the binary in Windows instead. Experienced self hosters will indeed use docker.

Then out of the ones that are using docker some of them will set it up as privileged.

And then how many of those people actually make read-only versus how many just add the path and don’t think about it.

Don’t confuse your good practices with what the average person will do.

I’ve heard jellyfin has a lot of security issues

The biggest known stuff I saw on their GitHub is that a number of the exposed service URLs under the hood don’t require auth. So, it’s open-source with known requirements, you can tell easily from the outside that it’s running, and you can cause it to activate a LOT of packages without logging in. That’s a zero-day in any package that can be passed a payload away from disaster.

AS far as TVOS, I’m kinda surprised swiftfin doesn’t service you.

They are, however, absolutely thrilled that the smallest resistor package is now ~ 1x the plank length on the narrow side.

Location sensor would be a good minimum bar.

A custom card for your app that is just basically a iframe into your app with auth would also be pretty decent. Your version of a map looks really nice.

Maybe surfacing metrics of distance traveled or number of geolocations.

I’ll have to install the app and play around with it to make other recommendations but those are the first things that come to mind.

AWS has an r4.8xlarge 244gb ram with 32 vcores for $2.13 an hour If they can handle Linux. $2.81 an hour for windows.

Agreed, most of the actual problems seemed to be in reporting. I saw some cobol stuff that went to 1900. There were a few things where 00 wasn’t an option, But mostly it was just really heinously written stuff that wasn’t expected to be in service even in the '90s.
