Fuck!
Turns out my “quantum superposition rifts” where certain spaces (biomes) exist in multiple locations at once allowing seemless passing between worlds, are not as original as i thought.
Well i don’t know how Dan Simmons Explained the science behind it but in effect it would end up very similar.
If you can boot an os from usb (basically the same for all distros) you can try proxmox.
There are these incredibly useful helper scripts that setup entire services in 1-2 copy pasted commands.
https://community-scripts.github.io/ProxmoxVE/
To explain what proxmox is its basicly virtualisation software, it can run vms but also lxc (light linux containers) and share resources very efficiently between all of them
Jellyfin, radarr, sonar. They are all included in the helper scripts, each will be a dedicated lxc.
Its also very easy to setup raid and there own storage format is very efficient.
Its well documented to the point that any decent llm can help you learn whatever you need. In fact its claude that helped me setup my own proper raid on proxmox, also tought me about datasets and how i can make those available to different lxc
Personally i am very hands off with my server, the hardest part is often choosing what ip i want to give a service, i rarely update or mess with it if not strictly necessary.
For hardware i recommend plenty of ram (can Be bought and installed seperatly), more cores is usually better and internal graphics can save you some hassle depending on what you are doing (also allows you to dedicate a Big gpu to some services).
A warning on second hand corporate machines, the performance is often good But quite fans are often an afterthought. I onxe got a beast of machine for free but you could hear it spin from anywhere in my house.
A good practical case is always a blessing when you need to check the insides.
Look you seem sincere but lost, the vast majority of people here are atheists and will not take kindly to advise to study some religious book they never heard of.
Maybe put the religion this is from in the title and try here https://beehaw.org/c/spirituality
There is no point in asking people why they choose to go to hell because they don’t believe in it (or any afterlife). And this does not stop them from trying to live good ethical lives either.
Never heard of this one but i might try it. Looks very clean and practical.
Would probably work better if you pretend You don’t actually now the numbers but instead compare it something else.
About 10 stacked pumpkins or enough to reach things standing on top of my closet.
You don’t need to lie, just find something that is hard to reference to others but sounds tall.
Go to a store and find any double door fridge with your height. Now you are as tall as a big fridge.
Anyway, i find peoples obsession with Height in romance incredibly strange.
The technical term seems to be a JBOD bay. (Just a Bunch Of Disks)
Basic ones are probably usb, ideally you have something that has a SFF port. Modern ones might also have thunderbolt.
Finding a micropc that supports SFF out of the box might be a challenge but some do support pci express cards.
Apparently there also exists something like Oculink which is pci over cable but i know even less about that one.
EDIT: if you look for “Nas enclosure 4bay” you actually do find plenty of options (Jonsbro N3 per example) that allow you to build it all in one unit with a mini-itx board. A nas pretty much just is a pc with special software so this would be what i recommend.
Maybe i miss some perspective here because i never had the spare money to consider a storebought nass. The convenience never sounded like it was worth being locked down to its software.
My server is “just a pc”
I got a case with external drive slots (it also needed to fit a gpu), but i suppose external drive cases also exist that can connect to a micro computer build.
The software is proxmox, which imo is amazing. Its virtualisation and backup software and performs really well and has a proper gui.
I have numerous lxc (linux container that is not a full vm) that each run their own docker with a single service. I can ssh into those from my main system or visit the terminal and other panels in the proxmox gui. Many services host a gui to my network and i could probably make it so cli is minimal but i personally am comfortable with that so…
I also run a few full vms on it, including some windows desktops.
You could probably also host actual Nass software this way.
All of these work well next to eachother and share resources. Snapshots and backups of individual systems or data can be made with ease.
If it doesn’t fit your usecases you can get the off the shelf ones i guess but for others interested here, maybe this helps.
Continue to self host, create a yearly backup on external harddrive which you keep offline at a trusted family members house.
Navidrome is planning on multi user ability, some parts of it already implemented.
But spinning a navidrone service up is so easy (proxmox helper script ftw) you can just spin up multiple side by side with some shared and some private libraries.
Underrated comment, power that sits unused will get preyed on.
Does it make much difference when your still federalised?
If you had not mentioned it i would be unable to tell that you are not on lemmy, i also believe your comments and interactions are still getting indexed by lemmy instances and help their growth.
That said, your instance is alluring to me.
I didn’t know about piefed till now, how big of a switch/change would it be?
I was expecting an article with maybe some pictures of the building process till an eventual shot of a cocks drawn on a wall.
This needs an NSFW tag
Got any of em helper Scripts for proxmox to get gpu passtrough working please? 🥺
I dont think the whole web being like the fediverse is feasible
It does not need to be. “Whole web” being a certain way almost implies it all follows the same standards from which point the people who set and develop those standards become the centralised authority.
I like to think of the internet as simply a carrier of digital information. This can be any information. My vpn tunnel is just as much a part of the whole as a public website.
The way i envision a positive evolution is that more people get involved in running their own network, for themselves, their family, their neighbourhood, a global community they are a part of.
They can use the activitypub protocol, a selfmade protocol or any other they want. The only thing that matters is that the people who need and use the digital information can use it.
The public internet dominated by large players will still exist but it will be (and actually already is) a small portion of everything we use the web for.
Pro gamer move here!
It can still be worse,
I once overheard a group of kindergarteners continually yelling “Skibidi toilet” at repeat.
Do you play Minecraft?
I have yet to watch it but i assume there is very little to connect with if you don’t?
Depending on how old your kids are and if you are not already playing, playing on a local server together is great family time and can provide situations for real bonding aswell as real world educational discussions.
For one by being family and friends supporting those that do have official roles in society. Like a grandma tanking care for grandkids. Or a disabled men always being there to cheer people on at the local sport field.
In another by having freedom to do what they find valuable for their communities, like creating a shared community garden, helping to organize free local events.
And even if they do decide to just sit on the coach and do absolutely fuck all and wait for others to prepare their food, which is scientificaly known to not be what anyone wants to do and cause depression, they still aint doing as much evil and damaging as Bezos is right this moment.
Go watch some star trek, it will help you understand.
And the same goes for all the freeloading animals. They say there are species still left undiscovered in the rain forest, if that is true then surely the fact we dont know they exist means they are not contributing and don’t deserve those trees they live in that could provide real tangable profit. Getting rich by cutting them down that is real value /s
Seriously the notion you need to earn to live, especially in the context where that only means economic labor is toxic and the true negative.
I will remind you that “the economy” itself is increasingly negative towards society, destroying the future for a profit. And that people without jobs still provide plenty of positives if not, less negatives then “successfull” people like board directors and ceo
It’s my first time seeing it and i love it.
Would hardly be the first cringe thing my neurodivergence leads me towards though.
