Yeah, I’m more or less just using NC for a cloud storage with WebDAV. I don’t really need all the other bits. So if NC were modular in that you could install or not the core pieces, that would be great.

Yeah, I love NC but boy is it a pain. If there were a similar but less bulky, less clunky option that wasn’t a pain to maintain, I’d be all over that.

I read about Tailscale securing funding and also was scared enshitification would ensue. I really hope their promise to keep non-enterprise as it is and not claw it back is true. I am way too relient on that now 🫤

It’s openid so it should work. Though their web finger validation wasn’t quite straightforward when I did it.

I just got Authentik set up as my first SSO. Has anyone tried this?

This would just be a way for you to see what qbittorent is doing from your phone. In qbit you’d turn on a few settings and then point this app to what you just turned on, and then see what’s downloading from your phone.

The app isn’t doing anything beyond taking interpreting what your other programs (e.g., qbit, sonarr, radarr, etc) are doing while you’re away. Depending on the program you could also tell it to download something, but that’s all still happening on your laptop. Your phone is just the middle man.

What do you mean? The nzb360 app is just a front end for services you have running on a server somewhere. Are you asking how to run the backend part discreetly?

While I would be open to a trade, I’d be more looking for something like the Synology that I already have, just not so walled garden. I currently have a number of 2.5 and 3.5 inch disks that I’d like to keep using, and I think the Optiplex is more of just a regular desktop than a server?

Huh, I’m also in the PNW. This could work out. I think it’s a bit too much for my needs, and I really don’t have the space for it. That said, I do want to learn how to use it, and get it up and running, etc. But after that I would definitely be looking to get something more practical. And quiet if it’s as loud as people are saying.

Uff, I wouldn’t even know how to ship that without it costing an arm and a leg

Ugh that’s unfortunate, because I do not have an out of the way place to put it. It didn’t make any noise when I plugged it in, but I imagine that comes from the drives when I insert them

Hey, thanks for your advice, and honestly the permission to be okay with not using it. I lost sight of that and it’s a good reminder. I am a little concerned for the noise and power consumption that everyone is talking about, especially since I don’t have an out of the way place to stick it.

That said, while I might ultimately not use it, I will at least learn enough to get it running. And like you said, fail a lot. But if I don’t have anything on it, failure won’t be so painful when I inevitability have to start over.

I’ll have to get some sort of adapter for VGA, and thanks for the talking about idrac. I had seen that mentioned on the server and had no idea what it was. So is the idrac website I’m connecting to like the website on routers used for configuration?

Hey thanks for the advice! Proxmox and TrueNAS seem to be what I should be looking into. Flashing with Rufus I’m familiar enough with, so that I can do. The one thing I don’t have is an out of the way place to put it 🫤 without any drives it didn’t make any noise, but I imagine that all comes from the drives doing their thing.

Thanks for the encouragement! To be honest, while it was a good place to start from its hand holding, I don’t love synology for how walled garden it is. I’ll definitely take a look at TrueNAS and see what that’s like.

What’s the benefit if using silver bullet over Obsidian or logseq?

I haven’t really had any problems with it. We’ve been using it regularly for text, but mostly for voice chat during games. It’s a lot to set up, but I’m using someone’s ansible setup so I just run a few commands and it does its thing and updates in the background.

That’s what I ended up doing for my group that wanted off Discord for privacy reasons. Mobile works fine and I’m also using Schildichat, though I think most of my group is using Element.

Not to detract from your suggestions, but the website portion of the card is clickable. Took me a minute to figure that out.
