If I could muster the mendacity to pump and dump a memecoin, this would be great news.

My server runs Debian VMs in Proxmox on an i7-2600 which has a lower benchmark than the 6600k. I also used the Perfect Media Server guide, and have 2 x 8T data drives pooled with MergerFS with 1 for snapraid parity, these are passed through to the main VM from Proxmox using ‘qm set’. One thing I would often forget after deleting/restoring this VM was to run qm set again after restore, ensuring it has the flag to not back up those drives or else backups will fail and I have to go uncheck the backup option on each drive to fix it.

If I need to spin up another VM for tinkering it’s easy enough to mount the NFS share as a volume with docker compose. Proxmox rarely shows CPU usage go above 50% (average is 10%) and this handles the whole *arr stack plus usenet and torrents in a single VM and compose file. I don’t have GPU passthrough set up because the motherboard on this older rig didn’t support IOMMU, never had issues with Plex or Jellyfin transcoding for Chromecast. I might build a new rig with GPU passthrough support to buffer media faster and selfhost LLMs when I get around to it.

While I agree Apple isn’t the first company we would expect to do this, it’s a good conversation to have given the opaque legalese in most of the terms and conditions we agree to. Cox Media Group told their advertisers they had this ability, and whether or not that was a lie given the dubious legality it demonstrates the intent is there, and should be guarded against.

Is this how some people live? Install Plex or Jellyfin for your own sanity.

If you don’t need realtime parity, I’ve had no issues on my media server running mismatched drives pooled via MergerFS with SnapRAID doing scheduled parity.

The AI lied to me, as I booted a Fedora/Gnome VM and couldn’t find that option. My only other guess would be maybe an extension like this was installed and forgotten about because I tend to do that

Correct, it’s not obvious when first diving in but the main use for RAID is increasing performance and availability by allowing up to a specific number of drive failures. For that to work, ideally in an enterprise you’d have a primary and secondary controller to mitigate that point of failure which is not typical for most homelabs and makes backup even more important.

When I moved into my otherwise shitty apartment, having Google Fiber was the selling point. Paying Comcast a monthly fee for unlimited bandwidth is something I vow never again to do.

Anecdotally, I had good experiences with my Xperia Z3 and Z5 compact phones. They were the only small form-factor phones with waterproofing I could find at the time, the cameras had high frame rates for slow motion, and weren’t painfully difficult to root and get rid of some UI annoyances.

Until it breaks like all these tend to, xManager seems the best method. Here’s a demo. Yes on the VPN although then you’re paying for a VPN or gambling on what the free provider does with your data. Additionally some like Cloudflare’s free WARP VPN, only encrypts traffic and its purpose isn’t to hide your IP address. Private Internet Access is recommended often for a paid VPN, I haven’t used them since switching from torrents to usenet for video and the patched Spotify version for music.
