  • I saw sharrr the other day which apparently can be self hosted and uses cryptography / expiracy / single download / multi part downloads to make it hard to find a compete file if an attacker even has host access, it also encrypts the file prior to uploading to the server and only you on the client side have the encryption.

    That said, this is all according to the architecture of the service, not sure about security in practice.






  • Using the igpu might be problematic for transcoding if you need that. I’d recommend older intel / Asus NUCs if you want a mini PC. 3 year warranty, built for Enterprise, tall version has room for a 7mm tall sata SSD or HDD along with nvme m.2 SSD.

    I think if you do Asus 12gen + they have another m.2 slot though it is the smaller one 2242. Doing all this you can upgrade it to 64GB RAM, 8TB m.2 2280, 8TB SATA SSSD, and 1TB M.2 2242. In homelab especially with mini PCs the limit is usually RAM / storage rather than CPU.

    I got 4 11th gen with 64 GB RAM each and 32TB of SSD storage. I recommend avoiding QLC SSD as much as possible. Aim for TLC , MLC, or SLC. Higher storage capacity tends to be QLC or TLC, QLC has shortest endurance and slowest speeds.










  • Yeah I want to switch when other implementations catch up. Unfortunately I think that will be some more time especially since you can’t migrate from synapse and have to start from fresh. One day though!

    I did the same for Lemmy at one point then found out all the configs are mapped to environment variables my convention. My Lemmy setup is the most advanced, but it has HA postgres, and all of its modules separated and HA. The proxy setup for it in k8s was rough but I eventually got it working directly on ingress-nginx too.




  • Server CPUs are built for the workload (hosting / background services) rather than desktop applications for consumer PCs. That being said generally your going to be more limited in disk / ram than CPU unless if you have some specific needs.

    In my setup, my server resources are averaging 10% cpu, 54% memory, and ~70% storage. I’m running 4 PCs, 8 cores each so 32 cores, currently on memory I got 2x64GB and 2x16GB so 160GB ram. Between CPU and RAM I am utilizing basically 3.2 cores worth of processing and 86GB of ram. Most of my ram is going to postgres databases for speed improvement and it takes off load from the CPU.
