The SSDs are definitely weirder than they are spinny but otherwise it depends. A 7200RPM weird spinny thing is for example more spinny than a 5400RPM but if you take 3 of the 5400RPM in a RAID, then the spinnines is aggregated, making it more spinny than a 7200RPM. But in doing so, you are multiplying the weirdiness, making it exponentially more weird than a single 7200RPM weird spinny thing. This has to do with how the weirdiness particles flow between the spinny things to make sure that you’ll always be able to recover the weirdiness of one of the spinny things from the other spinny things in case of an untimely demise.

• NAS: A weird spinny thing where you store your data. Both over the network.
• RAID: Multiple weird spinny things working together to recover the lost data if one of the weird spinny things dies.
• SSD: A weird spinny thing that doesn’t spin. Currently prohibitively expensive, so can be ignored.
• SMB: A language that computers use to share files from the weird spinny things or printers with each other.
• ZFS: A method that your computer uses to keep track of how and where your files are on the weird spinny things.

It’s not important but I guess it doesn’t support auth? I’ve only got time to do a quick glance right now so I might have missed something.

I think a lot of people’s use cases might be to integrate with other tools in their self-host stack like Authentik (could be solved by adding proxy auth if nothing exists natively) and Nextcloud or other filesharing/storing solutions.

If there aren’t any capabilities like that then it could be food for thought for expansion. Otherwise great job! Right now it’s still an upgrade from various shady PDF tool websites where you still have to download the PDF from your server to upload and process the files.

Yea, I come from Plex. Why do you ask?

Have you checked out the Finamp app? It’s to Jellyfin what Plexamp is to Plex. It’s much better for music that Jellyfin proper.

I’m fully Dockerized (well, uhh… Podmanized) and I’m dual-wielding Plex and Jellyfin. Runs smoothly and both only have read to the content. All management of the media is handled by the *arr stack anyway. I even set up a volume for Plex to throw conversions into that Jellyfin can’t see. I’m currently personally using Jellyfin and I’m waiting for Jellyfin to be good enough (or Plex bad enough…) for the users I share with to switch over.

I can definitely recommend that setup.

Half-Life 4: The Search For The Lost 3.

I see your 4-bay docking station and raise my 20-bay storage server. I even stopped counting how much the hardware costs for it :p

I’m currently looking at onedev.io for personal and startup use but since I haven’t had an opportunity to test it out yet I can’t vouch for it. It looks cool though and seems to have a good rep.

Neither do .dk domains, but in order to determine use the courts will have to be involved. I haven’t heard about a lot of those cases, but I’d guess you can prove use against the person who wants to take the domain. If I have a domain called firstnamelastname.dk it’d be pretty easy to show that I got a mail address at contact@firstnamelastname.dk that’s in use.

I simply don’t get why domain squatting is legal. On my ccTLD it is absolutely illegal meaning you have to forfeit the domain if you don’t use it anymore.

Nextcloud won’t be able to recognise new files if you do it that way. A full scan will be needed before they’ll show up in the web app.

What happened to OpenBoard?

Only lunatics buy drives over 10 TB.

Hey! No need to call us out like that.

I got one shipped to Denmark after brexit and IIRC they handled all the customs and everything.

Ninja edit: It looks like you’ll pay taxes and customs fees on top of it if you order directly, so it might be a good idea to hunt for a reseller: https://discourse.osmc.tv/t/european-orders/96161/2 - apparently I was lucky and happened to order when they were trialling IOSS

The closest I can think of is a Vero from osmc.tv but that’s breaking the 100 mark.

I’ve got the old Vero 4K model and it works like a dream in conjunction with my Jellyfin server (it’s essentially a Kodi box so you can save media on it locally too).

There was some thing about NewPipe not liking that they used the NewPipe name in the app name and a logo that resembled a bit too much. The NewPipe x Sponsorblock dev decided to rebrand to Tubular and everything is as you expect it otherwise.

Unfortunately I don’t have time to find the issue right now, but it was discussed somewhere in their repo.

dba.dk is a pretty popular site for buying used stuff in Denmark, but for electronics I usually go on eBay and sort by EU only (IIRC they removed that option so now the results are tainted with lots of UK gear that’ll be hit with import taxes).

There is though reasons to stray from certain consumer products for server equipment.

If anyone asks you’re just hosting home videos ;) No one can bust you for that.

Any reason those $5/yr in difference are worth the risk?
