ZFS absolutely does not require them in any way.

Who said it does? Also regarding Proxmox:

ZFS is great, but to take advantage of it’s positives you need the right drives, consumer drives get eaten alive as @[email protected] mentioned and your IO delay will be unbearable. I use Intel enterprise SSDs and have no issues.

I’ve ran jitsi for 4 years now. You can keep your personal variables in an environment file that doesn’t really change and pull down a new compose file whenever you want to update. Ever since the switch to docker from native install it has made things much easier to maintain. I’m using a lxc with debian 12. 4 cores and 4gb ram. The only reason I’ve allocated that many resources is because we use it to record a podcast with anywhere from 4 to 10 people on the server at a time. As far as bitrate, resolution, etc, that’s all handled within your env file. You’d have to look at the docs to see what’s available for you to choose from.

Before you buy anything, put some of the same content that buffers on a USB stick or powered drive and play it directly from the pi4. Also connect via ethernet to your router from another PC and check your dl speed from the NFS share.

Ollama without a GPU is pretty useless unless you’re using with Apple silicon. I’d just get rid of it until you get a GPU.

Elaborate on why samba is bad when it comes to security? Like list a bunch of links like this or write a paragraph summarizing them like a chatbot?

NFS does symlinks but they have to be configured correctly.

Samba may have not given you issues in the past, but it also doesn’t give you any security.

Also never use samba. At the very least use NFS.

This is where the nature of federation really shines. .ml is one of the biggest lemmy communities? It doesn’t have to be. In fact as lemmy is still so new and various situations continue to shake out I would wager that in a few years time the top current communities will be replaced. And later on those will be replaced. Censorship resistance is built into ActivityPub by virtue of its decentralization.

You’ll want to use a reverse proxy with separate domains/subdomains for each service.

It’s extremely light to run, and very easy to install and upgrade. I ran one for just myself without open registrations. The only con is that the community (self-hostable) version doesn’t allow js due to “safety reasons” so in order to have something like comments for your blog you have to either perform several janky CSS hacks or adjust the source code yourself. The only reason I chose wf was because of federation, but I eventually switched to standard WordPress with the federation plugin and now have comments and whatever else I want.

I started using Frigate and thought about going the Coral route but realized you didn’t need them if you have a relatively recent Intel CPU (6th gen or newer) as OpenVino with the iGPU is pretty much on par https://github.com/blakeblackshear/frigate/discussions/5742 .

A lot of the newer SBCs are being shipped with integrated NPUs/TPUs now as well. I would get a Coral if I were to use an older SBC or RPi or older PC as a camera server for object detection. Currently I have an ESP32-CAM watching a bird feeder but that feed goes to a modern server for bird species recognition but I could see a Coral as an option.

When you say you want more, what do you mean?

I like Librum for reading, as far as finding https://lemmy.ml/c/piracy may know

The project was part of the company’s In-App Action Panel (IAPP) program, which used a technique for “intercepting and decrypting” encrypted app traffic from users of Snapchat, and later from users of YouTube and Amazon, the consumers’ lawyers wrote in the document.

Looks like they didn’t decrypt anything, just used MitM spyware.

Traffic take longer? You’re talking about milliseconds. Also Wake On Lan has been baked into BIOS’s and Network cards for years so there’s no need to waste power. Is the issue that you just don’t have a PC? Regardless, if this is the path you want to take I think it’s a cool learning experience and I’m interested in seeing how it turns out.

But searxng is a search engine you access from a web browser, why aren’t you hosting it at home and accessing it from your phone via url?

I’m currently using it on v14, works fine.
