Yeah guess what happens when access starts to be app-only?

Is it? I just had a basic $5 a month machine so didn’t look too hard at it.

Vultr has been pretty good.

The universe in Star Flight. Which fit on a 720k floppy disk. Nothing else has really measured up to that lost in a huge place feeling since.

Massive data storage streaming and backup and game servers. Disk space and CPU and bandwidth for that in the cloud would be…a lot. A lot a lot, vs a $150 rack server off EBay and a pile of used SAS drives.

Power is pretty cheap here though. All my machines run at about 150-250 watts total, that can add up if your costs are high.

Also I just like my stuff here instead of somewhere else.

What, thats crazy. I am always updating libraries from the app after getting subs or whatever

Pfsense with pfblocker in a VM. Works wonders. Pipe fail2ban to pfblocker for extra goodness.

Does it run lineage, because that is the only way I’ll touch Samsung’s abysmal OS ever again

Something something Vegemite sandwich

Soldered in there :) also max 8 GB memory. I only paid like $30 for this box including the $10 for four used drives, I’m not expecting it to run Crysis.

To be extra clear, it was released in 2010 or something. This thing is 15 years old!

Encryption slows it down a lot. It’s just a Turion II

I’ve got a N40L running TrueNAS. It is slow for mass transfers but at about 40-60mbps transfer speeds it is plenty fast for file usage (jellyfin libraries etc.) Right now it’s just a secondary but it is quiet and uses little power. You can get 3.5 to 2.5 adapters and use ssds for even quieter use.

In other words don’t be afraid to trawl around on eBay and experiment.

I have zero things Apple. Does it need Apple stuff to work? And is Jellyfin available?

I had a script that did it. Reddit kept restoring them and I kept running thr script, finally most of it stuck

Do you have a Roku? Mine is losing its mind that it can’t phone home, and all those ad settings are off.
