2·4 months agoHow would that work? I couldn’t find it in that post.
38·4 months agoI agree, but most games also have a higher ratio of value to cost. If I buy a game for 50 bucks, I’ll play it for many hours, let’s say 50. So that will be 1 per hour, pretty good. If I buy a new movie, that isn’t available for subscription streaming, that ratio is easily double. If I have a subscription and need another now, that also lowers it’s value. It also comes with lower comfort and ease of consumption, as you mentioned.
Another great example is YouTube premium. I’ll gladly pay 5 or 7 bucks for adfree content, not 14 though. I don’t need YouTube music. So I block ads where I can and donate to creators, if I can afford it. They could have had my money, but they are, simply, greedy.
I also hate it, when deals are altered without my consent. It makes me feel like a sucker, and therefore makes it less likely for me to keep investing.
You most likely won’t utilize these speeds in a home lab, but I understand why you want them. I do too. I settled for 2.5GBit because that was a sweet spot in terms of speed, cost and power draw. In total, I idle at about 60W for following systems:
- Lenovo M90q (i7 10700, 32GB, 3 x 1 TB SSD) running Proxmox, 15W idle
- Custom NAS (Ryzen 2400G, 16GB, 4x12TB HDD)v running Truenas (30W idle)
- Firewall (N5105, 8GB) running OPNsense (8W idle)
- FritzBox 6660 Cable, which functions as a glorified access point, 10W idle
4·4 months agoWeird, isn’t it. A lot of those successful services have cute little mascots. It influences me more than it should.
I know exactly what you mean. I’d also prefer Debian, Mint or Fedora. Each has its weaknesses, but you got to start somewhere. Go for it, then decide for yourself. It’s not that hard to switch again.
I’d be very careful to publicly host Jellyfin. Although not necessarily true, it basically advertises that you’re pirating content while also giving out your IP. Even if you rip your own media, this can still be illegal. Please be careful.
Maybe you can put it behind some authentication or, even better, a VPN.
7·6 months agoFrom what I found, Lemmy is much better in this regard. I’ve gotten lots of helpful answers here, so give it a go! There is also a ton of tutorials on YouTube, I recommend something like this for beginners.

1·6 months agoThank you for your offer, but these are too old for what I want to do with them. Cheers!
Proxmox eats consumer grade SSDs (at least that’s what people are talking about)
Good to know I’m not the only one!
Hej. I need all of that data. And those movies too. But yeah, seems to be the case. Weird, that people buy those drives, when 12tb aren’t that much more expensive. We’ll, but here I am but only because I had an old but okay 4TB drive lying around.
I’d be scared to be ripped off in a lot. Do they show drive stats before sale?
I’ve had great success with used drives so far, mind you I only buy slightly used with lots of remaining warranty… Saved me tons.
There is quite a price difference, at least here in Germany. It easily be double, if not more… I’d love to use SSDs, but can’t afford them right now
I didn’t even think to look at Amazon, but for 12TB, that is an okay to good price. Too bad the 4TB is inappropriately expensive…
Yeah, that seems to be the case. I’ll be on the lookout for official refurbished drives, thanks for your input!
Let me know if you need any help with that. I’m still a beginner, but have used the last few months to learn about cyber security. It can be a daunting subject, but if you get the basics right, you’re probably good. I also hosted without a care for years and was never hacked, but it can/will happen. Here are some pointers!
Get or use a firewall. Iptables, UFW and such are probably good enough. I myself use OPNsense. It can be integrated with Crowdsec, a popular intrusion prevention system. This can be quite a rabbit whole. In the end, you should be able to control who goes where in your network.
Restrict ssh access or don’t allow it at all via internet. Close port 22 and use a VPN, if needed. Don’t allow root access via Ssh, use sudo. Use keys and passphrase login for best security.
Update your stuff regularly. Weekly or bi-weekly, if you can.
Use two factor authentication, where possible. It can be a bit annoying, but improves things dramatically. Long passwords help to, I use random-word-other-word combinations.
If you haven’t, think of a backup strategy. 3 redundant copys on 2 media, one off site.
EDIT: Ich hab folgendes gefunden und das funktioniert, danke an alle und danke an den Verfasser!
Für die Leute, die keine offene Browser Session haben, hier ein kleines, aber funktionales Bash Script, welches im Ausführungsverzeichnis eine
myFedditUserData.jsonerstellt, welche bei anderen Instanzen importiert werden kann.Anforderungen:
sudo apt install -y jqAnleitung:
.shEndung abspeichern, z.B.getMyFedditUsserData.shchmod +x getMyFedditUsserData.shausführen (Namen eventuell anpassen)myFedditUserData.jsonAnmerkung: Das Script ist recht simpel, es wird ein JWT Bearer Token angefragt und als Header bei dem GET Aufruf von https://feddit.de/api/v3/user/export_settings mitgegeben. Wer kein Linux/Mac OS X zur Verfügung hat, kann den Ablauf mit anderen Mitteln nachstellen.
Das Script:
#!/bin/bash # Basic login script for Lemmy API # CHANGE THESE VALUES my_instance="https://feddit.de" # e.g. https://feddit.nl my_username="" # e.g. freamon my_password="" # e.g. hunter2 ######################################################## # Lemmy API version API="api/v3" ######################################################## # Turn off history substitution (avoid errors with ! usage) set +H ######################################################## # Login login() { end_point="user/login" json_data="{\"username_or_email\":\"$my_username\",\"password\":\"$my_password\"}" url="$my_instance/$API/$end_point" curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d "$json_data" "$url" } # Get userdata as JSON getUserData() { end_point="user/export_settings" url="$my_instance/$API/$end_point" curl -H "Authorization: Bearer ${JWT}" "$url" } JWT=$(login | jq -r '.jwt') printf 'JWT Token: %s\n' "$JWT" getUserData | jq > myFedditUserData.json
