This dude sounds incredibly dense.

new Netflix documentary series coming in the next decade called “To Make an Arsonist”

TF = (what) the fuck

Sometimes people drop the “what” part

You can buy twice as many drives, though.

Honestly I’d recommend buying refurbished drives and using them in a RAID array so that you can easily replace one for cheap(ish) if it goes bad.

before anyone says “RAID is not a backup” yeah I know but you can’t deny its capability to function as such. 3-2-1 always applies.

Set up an alert for when the drive you want goes on sale/in stock

Hell yes

I’ll gladly help you out with that uhhh problem you’re having

Very serious btw I’m local

If you just want an internal webUI with video playback, I absolutely love MeTube.

It uses yt-dlp as a backend and has a lot of configuration and supports a lot of sites.

Exposing this to the outside isn’t a good idea because of the risk of DMCA or someone abusing your hard drive space

Does it have to be pterodactyl? I have two servers set up with Docker and they were very easy to set up.

I use this: https://github.com/itzg/docker-minecraft-server

Just stock Firefox with the most up to date uBlock Origin (your version) should be sufficient. YouTube has been experimenting lately with some work arounds lately, so maybe you’re one of the few unlucky ones.

If you’re not opposed to doing it yourself, you can sign up for a free trial to Tidal and rip it.

Haha I came here to link this. One of my favorite videos.

So far the closest thing was Plasma Bigscreen, but it’s still in development.

Functionally, it’s the right thing I’m looking for, but it’s not polished enough to fulfill my needs.

If this allowed folders and a GUI for settings, I think it’d be a winner.

Yeah another user mentioned this - definitely my #1 choice if it were fully released.

Oh fuck yeah this looks like the one.

Probably gonna do Fedora + KDE Bigscreen.

EDIT: It’s not released yet due to inactive development… bummer.

Wife would not approve of this because she loses her phone all the time. Also the kids don’t have phones.

I am looking for a solution that can be controlled by my remote

Do you use steam big picture mode?

I’d prefer not integrating Steam too much, since this is a shared computer that my kids also use.

I do like the UI of big picture mode, so if there were something similar that could be used by a remote or controller, that’d be top tier. Steam games could be added in via shortcuts

Correct, only the server owner needs the pass.

This has caused a lot of controversy because it was a free feature since Plex started and they’re now locking it behind a subscription.

If you’re on Android, there’s nzb360. The dev is awesome.

I name my devices after greek gods based on what I’m going in life at the time or after what their purpose is.

I named my first gaming PC “Poseidon” when I was doing ship related work. Now it’s my server.

My gaming PC is “Asclepius”, the Greek god of healing. Built when I got into healthcare.

Hermes, god of messeges, is my lil pi that helps with routing (pihole, pivpn, nginx).

My HTPC is Dionysus, Greek god of wine and parties.

My thinkpad is Persephone cus it looks good but doesn’t do much. I might rename it.

The services that I run on these are just named “device-service” e.g. hermes-nginx
