That, is a pretty good deal. Better start picking up some MD1200s!

I’d gladly donate a few TB, but Not about to fill my entire array for books i’ll never read…

Yes.

Anti-DDOS, eh?

You lost me there. There is no self-hosted anti-ddos solution that is going to be effective… Because any decent DDOS attack, can easily completely overwhelm your WAN connection. (And potentially even your ISP’s upstream(s) )#

Not a clue.

Maybe they like the pretty dashboard pihole has.

I use vlans to work with it.

unbound as a DNS filter and resolver

Its… worked as a recursive resolver, with filtering/blacklist features for years now?

Sorry… watching a sponsored video for world of tanks for the 10th time, or simply safe, or whatever other garbage is there isn’t going to make me want to purchase it.

I value my time… If I didn’t use sponsor block, I’m still going to skip right past it… This, just does it for me.

Well, I use plex, because I have used plex for a decade, and it just works.

That being said, if I were to use an alternative, Jellyfin is quite fantastic. I actually have a pod running it, just in the event that plex pulls a stupid move, causing me to lose faith in its platform.

But, that being said, I like the plex interface more then Jellyfin, and have grown accustomed to it.

Also, Kodi while powerful and extensible… just feels like a bear compared to Jellyfin.

high uptime, doesn’t many anything.

SSDs are rated by how much data can be written to them, as flash as finite write-endurance.

They are going to feel pretty damn stupid when nobody can buy/rent/watch/listen to their content and products…

Because, ya know… any product which can play any form of media, has the potential to infringe on IP…

I say, give them EXACTLY what they want. Give them, a week or two with zero profits, and see how quickly they change their tune.

For public projects, I use github build pipelines.

For private, I use ansible.

I don’t think you are helping the case here!

You are just adding another reason as to why I shouldn’t be hosting lemmy from my personal infrastructure.

The root issue here, when your local police department knocks down your door with guns drawn in the US, after you were anonymously reported to the feds-

They aren’t asking questions. If your children don’t get a flashbang to the face during the surprise entry into your home, and your dog doesn’t get shot, you are doing good.

Here in the US, you goto jail first. You get somebody putting fingers up your ass looking for drugs first. You have to post your own bail.

THEN, when you finally get a court date months later, THEN, you can make your case as to why there was CASM content, hosted at your IP.

It is NOT WORTH THE RISK!

Authentik has been fantastic.

Extremely flexible, and customizable. You can tailor the entire workflow.

Also, supports radius, ldap, and a few others. They keep adding new features every month.

Yup. Nope.

Pictrs is just completely disabled now. Rather be safe, then sorry.

For me, that would have been over 15 years ago. Even my NAS from 2014 was pushing 16T or so.

Cloudflare recently added that in the last year or so. Very nice features. In the past, I ended up using amazon SES to replicate that functionality.

Cheaper or not, isn’t a huge factor.

My really expensive sol-ark 12k cannot start my 110v air-compressor.

The issue is, the rated L.R.A. ie, locked rotor amps, how much current it takes to get it started.

My A/C motor, for example, uses around 20 amps @ 240v when running, ie ~5,000w. However, its L.R.A, is 112.0 amps @ 220v, ie- (24,640 watts). Which is more than the peak load my 12k inverter can handle. So- if you tried to start it on the inverter, well, it doesn’t work.

The same principle applies to anything with a motor.

You have to evaluate the L.R.A. Remember, if you have say, a 5,000watt RMS inverter, which can handle a 10k peak- its not going to be able to start something that has a 14,000 startup draw.

Eh,

When you have 50+ feeds, it has a lot of handy features.

Like… blacklisting posts with keywords/regex, tracking things in categories, etc… And- it has a TON of options for configuring things.

The ability to whitelist/blacklist certain posts is quite handy itself. For example- taking a feed like This one and being able to only grab the “update / releases”, and ignore all of the sales, giveaways, and other crap.

The uh, configuration options for the reader you linked are pretty limited in comparison.

Although, it does look nice, its missing the features to boot.
