For the same reason as WiFi supposedly making people sick.

To be clear, what I mean by that is “its utter horse shit”.

Yeah there is no way I’d think “asterisk” with that logo, especially with an organization that is anti-everything in human sexuality. Aside from the one thing I’d agree with but they don’t seem to actually be interested in stopping.

Personally, I keep storage and compute separate, makes it easier to maintain IMO. Where I have done it on a single box, ive just gone with a regular old Debian box and dropped in the drives.

I am considering playing with rockstor on a spare beige box I have, but basically the same separation of storage and compute will apply.

Do you think you can’t have an AMD GPU with an Intel board and iGPU?

Because you absolutely can. This is a non-issue.

That doesnt really change what I’m saying here…

I mean, thats what my quadros are. There is an Intel igpu plus the quadro, I find it more efficient because I can dedicate them to tasks more easily.

I agree sr-iov being better adopted would be great, but I also realize I’m not really a candidate either, I find the split approach best for my needs.

Depends on the model.

I can say for jellyfin transcoding, the igpu is plenty. The quadros only get used for transcoding and some misc cad use and other such things.

Given the recommended GPU w/ HDR specs for Sunshine - Intel HD Graphics 730 or higher - thats easily accomplished, even used. I couldn’t say how well it runs though as I don’t use it myself.

I’ve got three with quadros in them.

There are definitely options. No youre not shoving a full size GPU in there, but there are options.

Almost my entire (excessive) setup is a bunch of used, off lease tiny/mini/micros.

Most ive bought for about $100, then tossed some minor upgrades to like an m2 ssd, maxing out ram, etc, so under $200 altogether historically. Clustered with proxmox, so I even have high availability.

Yes, minis are great. Just do storage elsewhere, which can be a NAS or a generic box you load up with drives.

The titanic.

We dont need to raise it up or anything. Just leave it where its at and send them over.

15mph max is a bit disappointing, I’d like to see 20-25 to at least compete with my legs, but I’m down for something like this.

So unfortunate…

That he made it to 83.

What I think is missing here from the argument is the community garden.

We grow (well, my wife does the bulk of the effort if I’m being honest, the jungle of vines out there I fully credit to her) a good amount of food. Herbs, beans, cucumbers, squashes, lettuce, tomato, carrot… Every trip we grab more than we can use, or it will just go to waste.

We share with others who garden and some who don’t, but around us do. They also give us kale, varieties of berries, and others that we don’t grow.

You don’t need a lot of plants to end up producing more than you can realistically use, even getting creative with their use (we’ve started making a lot of syrups). Sharing with your local community can make this all even more efficient, making better use of what’s been planted.

Which is a long AF, adhd-laden way of saying “Community gardens / sharing is even better with efficiency imo”

Wireguard site-to-site, they already had an OK router I recommended to them so not much effort there.

Our National Parks are amazing!

For now.

Plex is a good example that does just that (not on my rec list but a good example) along with many business grade IPTV and media streaming products (think digital signage).

I’d really love to rework JF to do it, but structurally it wouldn’t work, you’d need a management service in front of it.

Remember that we’re talking about a server on your local network, and a device on the local network to make the connection for the stream. We aren’t talking about streaming over the internet.

• Client looks up server via DNS
• Client connects to public IP
• Client handshakes to server
• Server announces to client available connections (public, local)
• Client continues connections with local address

There is no need for tailscale or anything, this is a local connection. The only thing the public address is doing is the initial call to the server.

The good ones… Are not cheap (if someone knows a cheap option though, I’d be happy to add it to my own repertoire!)

For me, I backup with:

• A second NAS
• a clone to a NAS at two other homes (family), which also sync to mine
• Encrypted backups to generic cloud storage

Edited to add:

You dont need to backup everything.

What is being backed up by me at all the locations above:

• Content I can’t replace (home photos, movies, etc)
• Configs for services
• Personal documents and other such data.
• etc

Aside from the home movies, its not a huge amount of data. Lots of VHS conversions of graduations, Christmases, etc of long past.

Locally I back up more to the second NAS including:

• Content I can replace but this is faster
• Full backups of VMs
• LXC snapshots
• etc

So while I have a huge amount of storage at home, what’s needed elsewhere is not anywhere near as much.

Depends on the server obviously, but most will pass off their local once the initial handshake is made.

Once that is done, DNS isnt relevant anymore.

Edit: This is especially true for media (movies, TV) servers.
