I started on Plex and even considered a lifetime Plex pass, but I felt like it was more interested in showing their content than my content. It was a lot of effort just to show music and movies.

My family and I use jellyfin every day now, and a key thing is it starts off boring but it shows your music, your movies, your books, your photos.

For folks who migrate who were paying, consider a donation to projects you make heavy use of. They don’t usually have big companies behind them and can use the help.

I think Apache has an enterprise resource planning software, but it’s exactly as complex as you’d expect enterprise erp

Depends on the SSD. I’ve only ever had one SSD become read only, and I’ve seen a lot of failed SSDs.

SSDs dominant failure modes of catastrophic failure?

I’ve got a similar problem at home, and I use a really straightforward solution: since the problem manifests on my pcs, I just add my services to the hosts file. It’s particularly good when I’m working on my next cloud, because sometimes you end up with a lot of data moving back and forth, and you don’t really want to hit your router to hit the outside world to hit your internal server when you don’t need it. I just sent it to resolve my main services to the internal IP address, and the best part is that even when the internet is down and DNS isn’t available, my services keep on humming away. I might not even realize.

The n280 is specifically limited since it’s 32-bit, but low powered machines can be useful regardless. Two of the servers in my empire of dirt are atom d2550s, and I’m even able to run proxmox on them (since that model is 64-bit), but in terms of bare metal, they were able to run Matrix conduit, ejabbered, a nostr relay, and for a while my searx and yacy instances. (Though as I recall the cpus lack of instructions eventually stopped me from running searx on that hardware) I think I was even able to run invidious.

If it’s just for you, it would surprise you how much you can do with a very small amount of CPU power.

Another thing that a machine like that might be useful for is a jump box. You can just put a very light distribution on it, and make it accessible to the outside world and one way or the other (secured of course) so you can hop into it if you need to do any remote administration.

The one thing that I found when I was using stuff that was particularly low powered is drive latency matters a lot. If you are using an SSD for storage, even much faster processors end up spending a lot of time sitting there waiting for the spinning hard drive to get to where it needs to be so you can be a lot more efficient with less CPU power.

Runs on hardware that isn’t a supercomputer.

I’m using what it’s forked from, conduit, and I’ve hosted my matrix homeserver on an Intel atom D2550 that’s also doing like 3 other things. When I tried the same with synapse or dendrite, opening a big chat room took a few days.

I use Chromecast with android TV, it’s about perfect with jellyfin, and if I were to domit again I’d probably spend the little extra for the 4k model even though my TV is 1080p (more horsepower). You can run a different homescreen to somewhat degoogle it.

Probably not what you’re looking for given what you’ve lined up here, but I live and breathe with it every day and it’s great, and as an added benefit you can cast from a lot of services or websites as well.

Have you donated to your favorite foss projects this week?

Not saying nothing, but there’s always luanti and voxelibre.

Nextcloud notes is just my life now.

Nextcloud music Also supports subsonic as a protocol, so clients also can be used with that.

The two top ones host invidious, searx, and yacy on one and lotide (what I’m talking to you on) and matrix on the other, they both have Intel Atom D2550s. The bottom one has an Intel Core i5-4570TE, and hosts basically everything else including my reverse proxy server.

At some point I’d like to move to low-end ryzen embeddeds, because they are either as powerful or more powerful than anything I have and remain fanless, but one step at a time (and finding something that powerful that’s inexpensive and scavenged from a roadside sign is tough sometimes)

My whole empire, made almost entirely of parts scavenged from roadside signs. (not a single fan on the whole setup)

The obvious point being that if they’re not going to even run their own mail server, they won’t run their own fediverse server.

“that’s the great part – you don’t!”

But Honestly, it’d be pretty damn cool. I wouldn’t be too surprised to find they don’t even run their own mail server though.

I live by nextcloud news, but I don’t like the new interface.

The other nice thing is it syncs with apps on every platform.

The most important thing for everyone to remember is that if you don’t fully own the thing such that you can install and run it without asking permission, or if it isn’t simply free and open source, then it can go away at any time.

Honestly, if you’re running public facing services, you should run the latest everything you can. There’s a risk that stuff breaks, but at least you’re not having to worry about patched exploits.
