At some point I’d rather just carry a power bank when I go camping or something instead of carrying a huge phone daily

I’ve been meaning to install linkwarden to replace using Firefox bookmarks, I haven’t tried it yet but looks great

When i first started self hosting i went through several reinstalls of unraid until I finally got my method down and had a better understanding of what I was doing.

I recently did the same thing with arch on my laptop. The past like two weeks I reinstalled arch like 6 times until I knew what I wanted and how to do it from my notes, I went from arch with plasma to i3wm and now to hyprland so now I can do a minimal install to hyprland and get everything up and going to the point I felt confident enough to do the same to my main home desktop

I think that’s the one i use, I had a few mobile users not be able to watch plex in the past so I installed jellyfin and that so they could go back and forth

No i don’t but some of them send me money every once in a while just because they use plexripper to download from my server to theirs, I’m going to be running the server anyways so people using it feels better than it sitting idle

I use plex mainly but run jellyfin alongside it for people that watch on mobile.

I started with my old desktop that had an Intel cpu with quicksync and put unraid on it, i started with 2tb disk and gradually switched over to 14tb drives now I’m at 100tb total storage.

I have several famy friends coworkers using it now, at first no one was really interested but as streaming prices went up and content got more dispersed people started jumping on board.

Now multiple friends setup their own servers so its really good coverage especially if I need to take mine down for maintenance the wife can keep watching stuff from other people’s servers.

Things you need to find out is if you are behind a cgnat or other isp issues

Wow how did they get that cpu in there

Ive been looking at those anker solix battery systems they supposedly can be used as a ups but haven’t looked into how well and you can plug solar panels into them which was my original goal to reduce the power usage from the grid at least for part of the day

I started with my old gaming rig as a server, any decent intel cpu with quicksync is very good for plex and transcoding saving having to buy a cpu if you went with like a server grade cpu with no igpu

I used nextcloud to replace Google drive, i was using the calendar but ended up using the protonmail one instead

I have immich machine learning and ollama with openwebui

I use immich search a lot to find things like pictures of the side of the road to post on my community !sideoftheroad@lemmy.today

I almost never use the ollama though, not really sure what to do with it other than ask it dumb questions just to see what it says

I use the duckduckgo one when it auto has an answer to something I searched but its not too reliable

Get steam-headless running on there

Like seperate articles based off of topics automatically?

I have grav for a super basic site and blog I never update. Its like flat files of text you can just edit i also use cloudflare tunnel for it

I used lidarr to sync my followed artists from spotify and then just use plex and plexamp for music, all my plex users have access to it also but I think most people still have spotify so it’s just mainly me using it

Dang that’s sucks, I never used it but it’s neat in concept

I use Firefox focus so it wipes every thing when I close it

I rather have an email than a browser notification, email is more passive I can check it when I want to and it’ll be there, browser depending on which machine I’m on is going to get wiped when I close it

Yeah I have the lifetime license from before they switched to a yearly subscription, for me as I was pretty new to the whole thing it just made it super simple to get up and running, now I’m setting up dockers in compose so still learning but being able to just go to the community app store and use the templates to get things up and running right away was super nice, and the ability to upgrade drives as you go as well

My coworker recommended me unraid, so I tried it and similarly I was upgrading to a new gaming rig so my old gaming rig became my server. It was a mini itx i7 and I started with two 2tb hard drives then just went from there. Learning all the arrs by following the ‘trash guides’ then expanding out. A lot of trial and error and slowly upgrading drives over time.

Now I’m close to 100tb of data and have several family members using my plex server as their only streaming service plus a ton of personal stuff like rss and audio books etc
