  • Building my first NAS: Assistance on part selection please

  • Yeah, I've stopped using plex entirely. I was grandfathered in, but it just got to be too much nonsense. The license changes to unRAID don't meet that bar, IMO. Yeah, the old license model is gone, but "buy once upgrade free forever" is what caused plex to go the route it did. I honestly never expected to get upgrades forever - I assumed that it would have to go one of a few ways for the devs to be able to feed their families, and what they choose is definitely one of the lesser evils. For a lot of use cases, it even makes sense. I stayed on 6.x for probably close to 3 years, so i would have saved money with the new scheme. I'm also willing to admit that if you're truly dead set on free (both libre and gratis), then there are plenty of solid choices there, too

  • Yeah, they did something goofy with it, but they're at least trying to not be nakedly evil. I got in when it was just a perpetual license, but the new model isn't as bad as a lot of people think. TrueNAS is good too - I use the enterprise version at work and it's done well. The biggest differences are that the Ent. version doesn't expose containers or lxc so i don't know how that works, and TrueNAS/ZFS requires same-size disks where unRAID allows mixing sizes while retaining up to 2 parity disks. At work, I buy specific drives, so zfs is great - at home I buy what's affordable, so zfs isn't so good. I also saw one of your other comments, and unRAID supports hardware pass-through to containers, so exposing your AMD iGPU to jellyfin should be pretty simple. I can't speak to how TNas would handle that

  • I'll make the obligatory unRAID suggestion. It fits a lot of less intensive scenarios like what you're describing. It does carry a cost, and the licensing model is "interesting", but it has top-tier ease of use, especially around container apps. It would also allow you to use that 1tb ssd as a cache drive since the OS would run from usb (well, in-memory but stored on usb). You can also trial it for free for 30 days and if you don't like it, there's plenty of good suggestions in the thread already

  • What's up, selfhosters? It's self hosting Sunday!

  • Everything is just peachy this week except that I'm still trying to sort out why my I'm unable to access the internet when I'm connected to my unraid wireguard instance.

    I am also finally ready to ditch my plex instance, too. Got some self-inflicted permissions issues sorted and it's been smooth sailing for long enough that I'm ready to make the switch

  • For real. It's a ton of fun when you have a Linux server presenting a SMB share and you get a folder called MyFolder and one called MYFOLDER. Take a guess about what happens in that situation. I guarantee it's different

  • Walmart just leveled with Americans: China won’t be paying for Trump’s tariffs, in all likelihood you will

    Jump

  • Oh for sure, I should have clarified that I was really speaking to the products that already have a US-based manufacturing presence and already have to compete with imports. Ramping up domestic production on things that aren't already manufactured here because of the demented ramblings of a guy who (ostensibly) won't be around in 4 years is just asking for your business to go under

    Current imported price: $30

    Current locally made price: $35

    New imported price: $70

  • Major IT outage affecting banks, airlines, media outlets across the world

  • You wildly underestimate most corporate IT security's obsession with pushing updates to products like this as soon as they release. They also often have the power to make such nonsense the law of the land, regardless of what best practices dictate. Maybe this incident will shed some light on how bad of an idea auto updates are and get C-levels to do something about it, but even if they do, it'll only last until the next time someone gets compromised by a flaw that was fixed in a dot-release
