What checks and balances might be eroded today compared to 2017?

Nobody appreciates a Kindergarten Cop joke around here I guess

I’m psyched for you! I just researched hardware benchmarks and ordered a new AMD laptop and planned to run Linux. But I didn’t research well, because the Wifi card doesn’t have official drivers yet and I couldn’t be bothered to learn to edit, make from source, and load alternate drivers, so I retreated to Win10 for a little. I’ll try again later.

OK don’t lynch me, but has anyone tried on Docker for Windows? Since this is Linux first, it looks like a lot of the environment paths are Linux-only. It solves a need for me, but I haven’t dived into switching fully to Linux gaming.

I liked What because their values shone through by making everyone contribute at least once. The other privates I have are just higher quality public trackers, to me.

This is actually what lead me to set up a software RAID - my family is primarily Windows and I didn’t want to remember if the files were on D:, F:, G:, K:, etc. I’d rather have a root folder that’s extendable.

Same combo, can use it on android (and probably iOS), windows, linux; the plugins really extend Obsidian’s abilities.

Ha, Rentals on Plex sure didn’t evoke their intended reaction from me. Agreed on the Verge article, too. Thanks for sharing!

Awesome to see, good luck to you!

If you’re looking for tips, I’d try to set up Prowlarr first if you intend to use it, it’ll save some reconfiguration down the line.

Though I don’t find anything as complex as mounting and permissions in the *arrs, haha.

But my favorite part about tinkering with home servers is just learning a little at a time, expanding naturally. It’s easy to find guides that are the “ultimate, best server configs”, but unless you understand what benefits they’re offering, you can’t really determine what fits best for YOUR needs.

I started with CouchPotato on Windows years ago and now have *arrs running through docker on headless boxes and keep adding on fun services.

kill -9

Just tested, thanks for the suggestion! It killed a few instances of rsync, but there are two apparently stuck open. I issued reboot and the system seemed to hang while waiting for rsync to be killed and failed to unmount the zpool.

I believe there’s another issue. ZFS has been using nearly all RAM (which is fine, I only need RAM for system and ZFS anyway, there’s nothing else running on this box), but I was pretty convinced while I was looking that I don’t have dedup turned on. Thanks for your suggestions and links!

I did, great suggestion. It never recovered.

Thank you! I ended up connecting them directly to the main board and had the same result with rsync, eventually the zpool becomes inaccessible until reboot (ofc there may be other ways to recover it without reboot).

Awesome, thanks for giving some clues. It’s a new build, but I didn’t focus hugely on RAM, I think it’s only 32GB. I’ll try this out.

Edit: I did some reading about L2ARC, so pending some of these tests, I’m planning to get up to 64gb ram and then extend with an l2arc SSD, assuming no other hardware errors.

They’re Seagate Exos, https://www.seagate.com/products/cmr-smr-list/ and appear to be CMR

Excited for you! I’m going from 1x 12tb USB drive to 4x internal 18tb drives. I’m building the NAS from scratch and keeping my other server for its current services (mostly Plex). My parts have been defective though, so it’s all just sitting waiting for a replacement mobo.

You can show more ads with more quantity, any ad driven platform will trend that way.

Yep, sure enough nVidia 1650 laptop GPU. I tried the proprietary drivers, forced so many versions of VKD3D and DXVK to try for better performance. Oh well, my next box will have an AMD GPU.

I was on Mint and primarily using Lutris, but tried many different WINE runners. I would have tried Ubuntu, which I think is a little closer to upstream updates, but I only had a 4gb USB stick to install from. For games, I tried Horizon: Zero Dawn (which I finally got to open, but it was running 0-3 FPS), Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, and Baldur’s Gate II (which seemed to work). I’m not giving up forever, my next gaming tower will likely run linux of some type. I do lots of self-hosting on a Ubuntu PC, so I’m pro-Linux. Just ran out of patience with the laptop!

Man, I just tried for a few weeks and just had no luck on the games I was trying. It maybe is there for most people, but I still ended up in the “google for commands that might resolve these weird crashes / errors” and building random packages from source. However, I tried on a gaming laptop, which have notoriously had worse support than standard discrete cards. I wonder if my experience would have been different with a standard PC. I also recognize that Steam is the answer for a lot of people, but I just don’t have that many Steam games.
