I’m talking about the average person building a media server to cut out monthly streaming or cable costs. They don’t need or even know ZFS.




If you look at what OP posted they were paying only $80, which means they raised to $110 so recently that OP hadn’t even gotten that price increase before they raised it again.


It can be far more than “a few extra bucks.” It’s not just buying more expensive ram, but you need a compatible motherboard and processor as well.



Not sure how you missed out last time they increased the subscription cost. You must have renewed immediately before the increase from $80. That said, I’m out. The Android TV app has been having annoying audio issues and I’ve already cancelled every other service because of pricing.


Lol, it’s owned by Twitter now, it’s just a matter of time.


The rest of the US shouldn’t take any climate refugees from Florida because they’re all anti-semitic.


Next time Rs are in power they are likely to remove democracy from the equation and we won’t see another period of Democrats in power.


This says absolutely nothing new about Gizmodo they haven’t already telegraphed loudly to the world.


Don’t worry, if it translates anything wrong the Gizmodo editors will just insult anyone in the comments who points it out.


It’s also worth pointing out that $1,000 per session cost is probably the least bad thing about dialysis.



Wow, gate keeping self hosting. I guess there’s one in every community.



I am a very big fan. Just be careful which provider you try to use with it as not all are created equal. I have had good luck with AirVPN.


The container connects to the VPN and only the VPN, now you can route whatever docker containers you want through that container as a network. Now that one VPN connection can serve any container you want.


There’s already a pretty recent post about this on the threadiverse. I recommend checking the discussion there as lots of us are not likely to repeat our comments.

I’ve been with namecheap a long long time now. They rarely raise prices and it’s usually because upstream costs go up and everyone is raising prices. I’m a happy customer and ain’t switching. I don’t get bothered for endless upgrades. I only get emails when my domains come up for renewal or on the very rare occasion this happens.


Apple used to brag about how Macs didn’t get viruses. I used to laugh because it wasn’t that they were that much more secur but because their market share was too small to be a profitable target.

Now they’ve cultivated the perfect target user base. A large collection of tech ignorant or adverse people who have lots of money to burn.


It wouldn’t make it too SCOTUS, they’d decline the appeal after lower courts ruled it unconstitutional.


Despite all the problems we have in the United States, this would be struck down in court SO fast due to the first amendment to our constitution. The government making a list of speech you are not allowed to hear is pretty much the most cut and dry violation of that.


I switched when I got tired of not having ad blockers on mobile. Best decision ever. The Internet can be unusable without it.


I’ve also never had that issue. It’s had quite a few updates since I started using it.


Netdata is great and easily deployed via docker. I ran it bare metal before and was also pleased if that’s your preference.




If you watch Andor, this is exactly what one of the lead characters Luthen is trying to accomplish. He’s afraid that if the Empire tightens too slowly that by the time people are upset with the changes it will be too late. So he wants the rebellion to very loudly and publicly attack the Empire to force them to tighten their grip faster which inspires more rebellion.


Yeah, the situation you’re describing is impossible with docker because if you set it up as intended there’s no way for your containers to access the Internet without going through the VPN.


I have been using this for months and really like it. But I will warn people how easy it well it works depends heavily on the provider and protocol you use.

I have some experiences below, but I would just ask the creator of Gluetun what they use because it will be the best documented and supported.

Cyberghost worked well with OpenVPN but they do not allow port forwarding so I switched to PureVPN. PureVPN was awful, they allow port forwarding but you have to use very specific servers and there’s no way to control that with Open VPN on Gluetun because the server list is not up to date. I tried Wireguard and it worked but the slightest connection drop would cause port forwarding to stop working and I would have to redo the connection with new keys and all every time. Eventually it just stopped working no matter what I did and support was kind enough to refund me. I asked for the remainder of my subscription and not only did they not try to argue they gave me a full refund so that’s points for PureVPN.

Right now I’m using AirVPN which works really well. Once in a while port forwarding will stop working. But if I switch to another port it works again, so I just keep two ports open and change things client side and that seems to be the path of least resistance.

Another nice feature of Gluetun is an http proxy you can enable. Handy for private trackers that only let you access it from one IP for downloading and browsing. Just use an automatic proxy switcher in your browser.

Edit: fixed that last bit that was typed off screen on my phone because the kbin mobile site was being funky.



I don’t know about ALL his treasure, but he definitely buried 35 billion dollars in there. Never to be seen again.


That’ll solve all the problems.


How are you scrobbling to last.fm? Is it from substreamer or is there a plugin for Navidrome?

You can automatically replace the tracks downloaded from YouTube using Lidarr and set it to upgrade monitored albums until they’re FLAC.





As someone who works in insurance, this guy sounds like an otherwise ideal customer. The insurance company would be turning down easy profit if they really cancelled his policy for no reason.

This isn’t like denying a claim for shitty reasons. If this company cancelled someone with no claims in a low risk area, they either had a good reason or fucked up.


The video is from the news station doing the story, he’s had plenty of time to stage the yard to make himself look better.


Alternatives to PhotoPrism
Are there any full featured alternatives to PhotoPrism? I'd be happy to support their devs but charging almost $80 a year for basic features like having more than one user is kind of absurd. At that cost I'd rather just pay for the extra dirt cheap storage from Google and keep things there. That said, I'd really love to continue moving everything I can away from the big G and photos is a sticking point because I have a wife and child and other family members who depend on it.
