I thought self hosting was about learning networking basics like DNS and setting up let’s encrypt.

So much whining in here about the most simple stuff being too complex.

Basically that. I don’t do it much anymore, but it used to be helpful.

Wow, getright! That’s a throwback. I used that in the 90s.

On linux I use aria2c for similar tasks. It can resume http downloads, as well as split them up into multiple threads for faster downloading.

It’s cli-based and powerful (therefore perhaps a bit confusing at first), but there are UIs for it as well for a more get-rightty experience.

I think jdownloader also has some application here, though it’s mostly for getting things from those ad-filled file hosting sites frequently used by those on the high seas

In a moment of weakness and angry clients I once paid uce.

Shortly thereafter my credit card got stolen. That is the one time in my life that has ever happened. It was my business card which rarely get used.

Coincidence? Up to the reader.

Uhm actually the k6-2 took EDO or SDRAM. You won’t get it running with DDR.

I thought illiterate user friendliness was plex’s number 1 feature? That’s what half the comments in here are saying.

Jellyfin or Plex, needs to be done if you want remote connections without a VPN

This is also true about Plex which must also be exposed to the internet

They are not requesting for info on running their own SMTP service that interacts with the greater internet.

Though even if they were, the difficulty is overstated. I’ve run my own for years.

Small ups systems use sealed lead acid so venting isn’t a concern

Complete nonsense. Enterprise drives are better for reliability if you plan on a ton of writes, but ZFS absolutely does not require them in any way.

Next you’ll say it needs ECC RAM

And if you dont have ECC zfs just might save your bacon when a more basic fs would allow corruption

It’s not hard on Debian

I always perfer FOSS whenever possible.

I figure if someone out there is working on a project and wants me to use it, I owe it to them to at least give it a shot.

Occasionally, the proprietary stuff is the only option. And occasionally-occasionally that company isn’t worth supporting or the price is unreasonable or more than I could afford. In which case, perhaps some seas are sailed.

I was doing the same thing, but it’s a whole new world out there because of Proton.

Yep. I’ve been on linux for 20 years now, and haven’t done much PC gaming for that reason, buying consoles instead. A bit of KSP and C:S and other native Linux games, but that’s about it.

Recently got a steamdeck and was like holy shit, almost everything works well now without tweaks.

Went out and bought a GPU for my desktop last week. I’m ready for this era.
