I have used this card for a couple years.

Pros:

• five m.2 sata slots
• single slot pcie, and short / not extending past top of slot
• incredibly cheap
• mine has been reliable
• no extra power needed
• no pcie bifurcation or other special motherboard features required (works in anything)
• the individual drives do show up as individual drives in Debian for me and can be accessed separately (not a hardware raid card)

Cons:

• pcie 3.0x2 speed in an x16 slot (2GBps)
• doesn’t support m.2 pci
• doesn’t support booting from the installed drives

If all you’re looking for is cheap, quiet, storage, and you don’t mind losing out on total read/write speeds, thisll actually do great just about anywhere.

But yeah, OP. You can’t reliably stop web scrapers from stealing your data. You can only make more difficult and costly to do so, at the expense of your own server, and in the case of anubis, at the expense of your real users.

I plan on switching to a RPI hosted website at some point, so I can add either iocaine or nepanthes to my website. Might as well make most of the data from my website poison to all the scrapers when I get the chance.

Yeah. The corporations with money are always going to beat the casual users without in regards to processing capability.

There are smarter ways to discourage the big companies from taking pictures of your house than by adding speed bumps to your driveway.

POW built in to the web spec would be hell. Making every single device in the world do that extra bit of work would noticeably affect energy use across the planet.

Yep. https://fedia.io/m/selfhosted@lemmy.world/t/3090624/Decreasing-Certificate-Lifetimes-to-45-Days/comment/13237364#entry-comment-13237364

What you’re talking about has existed for decades at this point. Most grey/black hat forums rightfully ban collective ddos tools when they see them. Turns out that the difference between duplicating a copyrighted work, and actively attacking a private server are vastly different, legally speaking, and get prosecuted a lot more forcefully when found.

My dns config options always have at least two spots. Obviously, this means I need two piholes to fill them both up.

More seriously, it has actually saved my network from going down a couple times already.

When you do get around to changing the graphics, maybe you can ditch the ovaries and uterus look of the logo.

Lmao I hadn’t even noticed, but yes, definitely that.

Honestly? Don’t do the whole switch, or even a big switch from a few services to another.

Start small. Very small. Try doing just one service you rely on, like your images or music. Immich just announced their first stable release. I use navidrome for my music. Make sure to test these on a copy of your data, not your actual data.

Once you’ve got one service working as you want it to do, then you can try your hand at another service. This way, you don’t get stuck trying to do everything all at once.

It may be worth considering how much (if any) you want to spend at the start, too. That’ll inform your next immediate task; setting up basic backups for your data. A spare drive is a good start, but it may be worth keeping another one at your parents house, or similar.

You can switch to windows 10 ltsc and keep getting updates for seven more years.

If you aren’t transcoding, and the player is taking too long to cache the video before starting, you might be having some sort of storage issue. You would need to try a couple of different things to figure out what, specifically, is taking so long to send the video out.

The first thing that comes to mind is that your storage is on an SSD, and it is nearly full. An SSD that is nearly full will usually perform much much worse than it would if it had more space to work with. https://pureinfotech.com/why-solid-state-drive-ssd-performance-slows-down/

The next thing that comes to mind is that your files are stored on the same drive that jellyfin transcodes onto, and it is not using an SSD. If you have jellyfin reading from a single drive, jellyfin encoding to that same drive, and also everything else also running, you might be causing your hard drive to seek a lot in order to get everything up and running. You could test this by changing the jellyfin transcode location to a different storage device.

I’ve also found that page and video loading times tend to be directly affected by the storage medium’s seek times. If you had jellyfin installed on the same hard drive as your videos, it will be slower than if you had installed jellyfin on a ssd separate from the drive you store your videos on. This one wouldn’t likely result in minute loading times though.

You should not be having transcode issues with anything less than four concurrent streams on that server. https://www.reddit.com/r/PleX/comments/1ae6683/intel_n100_vs_ryzen_7_1700_1st_gen_an_interesting/

It’s likely that you have hardware transcoding disabled. Enable it, and these issues should go away. This forum post has good settings in jellyfin for an n100, https://forum.jellyfin.org/t-solved-correct-transcoding-settings-for-the-n100-processor

You should be able to find instructions for enabling hardware encoding in your bios by searching for it with your specific device model.

*edit

Handbrake does a bad job of explaining the difference between software encoding and hardware encoding. Or at least, it felt that way to me when I last used it. You likely were trying to software encode your videos, which, while theoretically makes the end result better quality, definitely won’t be quick on an n100. You’ll want to pick the option that has intel quicksync/qsv in it in order to get the most speed out of your handbrake encodes. https://www.reddit.com/r/handbrake/comments/z2m814/comment/kxu2a8x/

My goal was to never need to touch the settings for any of the HVAC units all year round,

I got a lot more luckier than you. I have a single floor, three bedroom place. All I needed to get my setup to an acceptable level was a programmable thermostat.

The other snag was more fundamental - I don’t think it’s possible to have a perfect temperature, even for one person. If I’m sitting still for long periods, I tend to want warmer temps. If I’m cleaning the house, I want cooler temps.

I set my temps for warmer in the afternoon, cooler in the evening/night, and semi-warm again in the morning. It’s not perfect, but it makes getting to sleep and waking up a lot easier.

First of all, only jellyfin has any overhead worth mentioning. Video is big and takes big hardware if you’re doing anything except the bare minimum. Audio support is basically free in comparison.

I actually tried the jellyfin audio streaming before I switched to navidrome. It worked, but all the apps for it were complete shit, or incredibly feature poor. Also, it had terrible album identification support for my library.

It’s all read only, yes, but I just use a group specifically for NAS access and put users that need it in there.

I use the NFS version from the debian repository; not actually sure which one, and didn’t even know that it mattered.

I had issues streaming directly from one device to the other without transcoding on WiFi. (I know you’re wired! Heard me out.)

I found that, although it didn’t fix the issue, it did help to switch from using SMB to NFS. Something about the way the protocol works meant that SMB had enough of an overhead that it worsened my stuttering issues outside of the spotty WiFi connection. For sure it significantly sped up scrubbing access times as well.

It may not be the issue, but it may be a step worth checking just to see if it is a part of the issue.

For what it’s worth, 4k remuxes can have bitrate spikes well exceeding the limits of a single gbps wire. If you have a player with limited memory, or just limited cache settings, this may also be a part of the problem.

I use https://file.pizza. It’s open source and has password protection options and everything.

It’s very much a thing. https://getcrankshaft.com/

Terramaster had some pretty gnarly security issues that they badly handled in the past. No big deal if you keep it walled off from the internet, but their software would never let you know it should be kept away from any internet access.

Also, if you get one of their units that has an ARM chip inside instead of an intel one, there is basically no chance you’re ever going to be able to use anything other than the software that they have by default. This makes the security issues impossible to resolve without completely removing internet access to the device.
