I noticed the article mentioned Dropbox, g drive, and OneDrive and I was curious and from searching around it seems you can also use ftp and ssh. That’s super cool, being able to script an auto backup to my NAS makes this a lot more appealing.

My homelab has been mostly on autopilot for a while. Synology 6 bay running most lighter weight docker stuff (arrstack, immich, etc) and an Intel nuc running heavy stuff (quicksync transcodes for Plex+jf, ollama). Both connected to digitalocean via WG for reverse proxy due to CGNAT.

I had my router SSD either die or get corrupted this past week, haven’t looked much at the old SSD besides trying to extract the config off of it. I ended up just fresh installing opnsense because I didnt have any recent backups (my Synology and nuc back up to rsync.net, but I haven’t gotten around to automated backups for my router since it’s basically a plain config, and my cloud reverse proxy which is just a basic docker compose + small haproxy config). Luckily my homelab reaching out to the cloud reverse proxy means there’s basically no important config on my router anymore, they just need DHCP and a connection.

Besides that the arrstack just chugs along on its own.

I recently figured out I can load jellyfin playback URLs into vrchat video players, either direct stream or through the transcoding pipeline as an m3u8 that live transcodes based on the url parameters you set. This is great because the way watch parties in VRChat works is that everyone in an instance loads the same URL pasted into media players and syncs the playback. That means you need to have a publicly accessible url (preferably with a token of some sort) that can be loaded by an arbitrary number of unique IP addresses simultaneously, which I don’t think is doable with Plex.

I’m now working on a little web app to let me log into Jellyfin, search/browse media, and generate the links with arbitrary or pre-set transcode settings for easy copy/pasting into VRChat. The reason it’s needed is that Jellyfin only provides the original file without transcoding when you use the “copy stream” option, so I believe the only way to get a transcoded stream url currently is to set the web interface to specific settings and grab the URL from the network. But that doesn’t let you set arbitrary stuff like codecs and subtitle burn in and overriding what it thinks you support. So a simple app to construct the URL will make VRChat watch parties a lot easier.

I’d say download everything and keep track of what you can’t find, then rip those because there will probably be people in the data hoarder or lost media communities who would love to hoard and share it.

I think you’ve exactly described why some people need a VPN. My ISP does 3 strikes when they get complaints :/

The new beta timeline is sooo smooth! I finally don’t hate scrolling back to find a specific old photo. The scrolling performance feels completely native to me now.

Run a DHT crawler? It can be a bit resource intensive (I ran magnetico for a while) and it’ll take a while for it to index enough old stuff for the new discoveries to be actually new, but you’d get a fully decentralized continuous feed of newly discovered torrents that doesn’t depend on any centralized infrastructure, just the decentralized bittorrent DHT swarm.

To get a picture of what it looks like, you can check out btdig, it’s the same thing so if you click on “recent findings” at the bottom you’ll see what a recently found feed of DHT looks like.

I think what you want is an EDID emulator with passthrough or whatever it’s called. EDID is how a monitor tells a device what resolution to send and other info. Some cheap HDMI splitters, adapters, audio extractors, etc will let you emulate a specific EDID. One of my audio extractors lets you fake stereo vs surround support to trick the source into sending surround - I think that’s also through EDID - since if you’re trying to extract surround, it might be because your real TVs EDID is for stereo I assume. So you probably want something like that in before the switch so that the laptop always thinks something is plugged in. Your switch seems to be too smart in actually passing through the real monitor’s EDID so the laptop is able to see when it switches.

Open webUI connected to ollama can do this. In openwebui, if you edit any one of your responses, it forks the conversation. You can flip between each branch using the arrows below any of your responses. If you click the 3 dot menu and click overview, it opens a graph view that shows the branches of the conversation visually.

As a point of reference, I have a 5070 ti oc (300W tdp, suggested PSU 700W according to techpowerup) with a ryzen 7 7700 (65W tdp) and I use a Silverstone SFX 700 W 80+ platinum and it works great. I’ve monitored the GPU wattage and it generally doesn’t go above 200ish in practical usage.

Fwiw Anubis is adding a nojs meta refresh challenge that if it doesn’t have issues will soon be the new default challenge

Imo that’s perfectly fine and not idiotic if you have a static IP, no ISP blocked ports / don’t care about using alt ports, and don’t mind people who find your domain knowing your IP.

I did basically that when I had a fiber line but then I added a local haproxy in front to handle additional subdomains. I feel like people gravitate towards recommending that because it works regardless of the answers to the other questions, even their security tolerance if recommending access only over VPN.

I have CGNAT now so reverse proxy in the cloud is my only option, but at least I’m free to reconfigure my LAN or uproot everything and plant it on any other LAN and it’ll all be fine.

This is 99% my setup, just with a traefik container attached to my wifeguard container.

Can recommend especially because I can move apartments any time, not care about CGNAT (my current situation which I predicted would be the case), and easily switch to any backup by sticking my boxes on any network with DHCP that can reach the Internet (like a 4G hotspot or a nanobeam pointed at a public wifi down the road) in a pinch without reconfiguring anything.

It’s time to get with the RCS program, already!

Tell that to my MVNO 😮‍💨

Yes this and also scrubs and smart tests. I have 6 14TB spinning drives and a long smart test takes roughly a week, so running 2 at a time takes close to a month to do all 6 and then it all starts over again, so for half to 75% of the time, 2 of my drives are doing smart tests. Then there’s scrubs which I do monthly. I would consider larger drives if it didn’t mean that my smart/scrub schedule would take more than a month. Rebuilds aren’t too bad, and I have double redundancy for extra peace of mind but I also wouldn’t want that taking much longer either
