>>108895265I installed nextcloud.Now what?I'm not interested in the file upload/sync feature since smb works fine for me.What else can it be used for?
>>108895338I'm in the same camp desu. Nextcloud's UI isn't very good and it was annoyibgbto set up, but now I'm wondering why use it over focused alternatives. I would use it with foid's icloud, but it seems like you can't really replace icloud as a lot of features people like wouldn't be integrated. Also read some reviews of people getting all their images raped out of existence, so I'm cautios to use it.

>haven't updated opnsense in while>after a reboot I'm on 25.7>expecting more updates>have to pick new dhcp service to transition to 26>also affects dnsI assume the dnsmasq is the way to go, but this had me confused for a moment thinking I would have to put unbound into forwarding or something. But if dnsmasq is a stop-gap for eventually going with kea, should I maybe just set up that instead? However, does this complicate dhcp static mappings a lot?
People where right in the beginningThis does look better the "correct" orientation.Coolers are still too big to use all the RAM slots, like that it matters with 16gb is $80 nowThis is the final solution for narrow ILM coolers, years after they where relevant for anything.
>>108895338Since you don't want files, almost nothing.It's super heavy and unoptimised as well. Junk software with good will and maybe some PR among the people who use it (or as I suspect, do not use it but think they might one day).

I have a HDD with some (104) bad sectors but it's only has 1716h of usage. It used to be an external HDD, maybe some sectors were damaged then? Is it safe to use?
>>108896662I switched to dnsmasq using homenetworkguy's guide without issue. Now to ensure the firewall rules and port forwarding goes smoothly. Luckily I don't have NAT reflection set on any port forwarding rules, so that shouldn't be an issue (saw some leddit thread on it).

Why does Jellyfin not support any sort of SSO?
>>108898851Wait, so my plan to use an SSO different from Pangolin's built-in one is doomed from the start? Guess I'll just stick with bypass auth rules for specific IPs then... Definitely not trusting Jellyfin's login screen alone, lmao.

>>108898848Are you asking about hardware? Software? What is your question?
>>108899293Software, things to run or online backups to grab to help manage and make more comfortable a family home that can be reasonably assumed to have food, water, and electricity, but no internet, in case of an emergency. I'm already planning on adding Assistant or something similar to manage existing smart home devices and energy output, and Grocy to keep track of current stocks of the non-perishables, but I'm wondering if there's anything I'm missing. Hardware is going to be something cobbled together from spare mid-range computer parts

Do you expose your self hosted apps to the internet?Seems very risky but lots of public networks block UDP punch holing so tailscale / zerotier don't work.

Hmm, how much of a sin is this configuration with ECC UDIMMs? 2x8GB 1R 2666V Hynix2x8GB 1R 2666V SamsungBoth kits are pair matched 2019 DOMs and I want to run it on Ryzen Pro.
>>108900494Looks fine to me?Just running with jedec speeds and timings?Not all mobos advertise ecc support, so you might have to check that part.
>>108895338One usecase I've found is creating file drops for family and friends. My aunty wanted me to edit some videos together so I created a share folder and sent her the link. Process is very smooth.
>>108900511>Just running with jedec speeds and timings? dead stock jedec speed/timings. It's cheap for me to do this x4 setup, but I wondered if the technicality of 'less IMC stress' with 2x16GB was even consequential.>Not all mobos advertise ecc supportyeah already made sure of that, pretty much only ASRock supports it properly.
I've had frigate setup and running for about a month now and I really like it. Currently only have two cameras but I'm planning on adding two more. I would like better AI detections though. I have an Arc A380, what should my expectations be? I'd like it to differentiate different animals, recognise people and faces better and record licence plates better. Eventually I want it to read my motorcycle licence plate, pass that on to home assistant which will then open my shed for me. Does anyone here pay for frigate+ for the better models?
>>108900554>IMC stressIn my wildly uninformed opinion IMC stress only matters if you're pushing clock speeds or cutting down timings.Maybe if you'd been using one of those sodimms into dimm adapters which obviously increase the trace length, inductance, and capacitance might the IMC's ability to produce clean signal edges matter.>>108900554>ecc support>ASRockGigabyte too.
>>108900612>clock speeds or cutting down timingsIn this case I'm more worried about differences in signalling over the topology due to the different ICs. Normally I'd care less, but obviously this application demands stability. >sodimms into dimm adapterswouldn't dream of it, all standard DIMMs>Gigabyte too.Yeah Gigabyte and Asus also have support, but it's more variable. MSI flat out doesn't support it anywhere. Overall ASRock seems to have more boards and granular ECC-related settings exposed than the former afaik.
>>108900647>differences in signalling over the topology due to the different ICsPractical experience is probably the best way to figure out whether this is a real concern or not.Memtest86 it.Try it and see over a longer term if you see any ecc errors.For example: Leaving 2 out of your 4 slots blank means reflections.And yet the system can obviously handle that.
I need to buy an HBA for my upcoming server build, but I've been procrastinating on it since I don't want to buy a fake but I also don't wanna overpay (e.g. import from the States).
>>108900867hba is mostly a meme unless you've ran out of sata ports in the motherboard
>>108901049I'm planning on six drives initially, maybe a seventh one soon after (I have a spare drive that I might use), and with the possibility to add more since I have at least eight HDD bays available without doing anything to my case. If I get a 5.25" backplane or a used HDD tray for my case, there'll be even more bays available.Browsing PCPartPicker, there's not really an abundance of 6+/8+ SATA ports on motherboards. Not really that surprised, most people don't need that many. My gaming PC has zero in use.
Ok this is a really retarded question but why does networking matter? I understand why NAS's like Synology, Terramaster, Ugreen etc exist and understand that they all have different OS that fit different preferences or they DIY and use some server OS on older or dedicated machines they already own, I also understand why people prioritize various types of drives depending on the speed or amount of storage needed. However I am completely lost on why anything is needed other than the ISP provided hardware from a networking side. Does their ISP not give them firewall edit access or something? If you already have a wifi password and then there is another password to login to your NAS's files (this login can have 2fa as well) is that not already secure why do you need to split your network if you have multiple layers of security for the files already?
>>108901188Lets say you want security cameras in your house. We'll be extremely conservative and just say 2 cameras. >Your PC>Server>2 CamerasYou're already at 4 devices and I haven't mentioned backup server, gaming consoles, anyone else's PC. Unless your router from the ISP has 8 ethernet connections you will likely need a switch.
>>108901188>why anything is needed other than the ISP provided hardware from a networking sideHere's part of an answer.Writing generically; an ISP's objectives:- cheap- cut down on support calls- support a minimal number of scenarios- bare minimum needed to provide their service- collect and sell your browsing history- use a slice of local bandwidth to run a wifi access point for their wifi-roaming customers
>>108897159yea
>>108901464Switches are the one thing I do understand since it solves a simple problem of just needing more connections. >>108901475>support a minimal number of scenariosIn what scenarios would you need non-isp related hardware excluding switches. >collect and sell your browsing historyFair enough, I get why people would want this private but all the sites are encrypted it's not like they are seeing the content of what I'm browsing so I don't think I'd care.>use a slice of local bandwidth to run a wifi access point for their wifi-roaming customersAhhhh ok. This makes a lot of sense, xfinity used to do this when I had them but I'm using verizon now and I haven't seen anything like that since.
>>108901188>However I am completely lost on why anything is needed other than the ISP provided hardware from a networking side.For the price that my ISP will sell me a router, I can buy a much better Unifi one instead. At least the latter one will have a Wireguard server built in.
What's the simplest backup strategy for my RAIDz2 array? I don't really think I need cold backups of my entire media library when the qbittorrent container can just redownload everything (personal rips would still be backed up), so I'd only keep cold backups of containers and archives of personal data. Is zfs sending ~4 TB to an external HDD every month and storing it at another place my best bet? I don't want to spend thousands when 2-disk redundancy is enough of a safe bet imo. All the important bi-weekly container backups are already stored both on my server and my desktop for host redundancy, so an external off-site backup would mean I'd have three copies total. Still a noob in the art of backups.
>>108899979>>108897745it was a strange, strange occurence. couldn't see what exactly happened, but the data was orphaned, and Navidrome/Docker had nothing to do with it. I've got it all back now but man that was fucking bizarre.Think I'll use that harddrive I got yesterday for a much needed backup.I wish things weren't so expensive these days

>>108895908Serious question is someone at Nvidia paying the Arc team to sabotage themselves? What the fuck is wrong with them.
>>108901957Why would you be sending 4TB every month? The whole point of send and receive is that you can send only the differentials between snapshots. If in a given month you have 100GB of diffs, you send that. If the next month it's 300MB, you send that. If you're downloading/generating 4TB of data every month, you're probably in the realm of needing hundreds of TB of storage, which it doesn't sound like you are.
>>108903523I see, but>There is an official LDAP plugin at leaIsn't that good enough then? I don't use SSO yet but I plan on setting it up, that's why I'm asking.
>>108904145Not sure as I haven't decided how I want to set things up either. I use Pocket ID, and Jellyfin is the only service I want to run that doesn't just werk with OIDC/Pocket ID. Pocket ID can integrate with LLDAP but I'm not sure what value I'd get out of LDAP when I only need user/pass for one service anyway.
>>108902980>If you are into AI stuff I'm a snailcat and would prefer to stay away from Google. I was thinking about some deep archive service that AWS and BackBlaze offer to safe costs, but I'm afraid of the store now decrypt later schizophrenia. I was thinking about an external WD drive, but I'm not sure.>>108903987>Why would you be sending 4TB every month?Sorry, I meant the offsite backup would total at around 4 TB with monthly incremental sends in the ballpark of ~10 GB.
>>108904386>but I'm afraid of the store now decrypt later schizophreniaIf you're afraid of that any cloud based storage is out of the question, frankly most typical offsite storage is out of the question at that point.That said if you decide to go with cloud shit REALLY compare costs because as far as I know BB doesn't charge for ingress/egress AWS most certainly does.

>>108901693I used to think like you, ISP router seemed just fine to me. 4 1Gbit LAN ports, never had problems with the WiFi, and it's included with the price where I live.However, I've been wanting more privacy and started self hosting some things since everything is going to shit real fast and as soon as I read about DNS and resolvers I understood. My ISP router does not allow changing the DNS, I want to run pihole/unbound combo and I can't. Changing DNS IP should be a fucking non-issue. And then I find out they're DNS blocking fucking Plex from people.I'm going to have my own router soon and I can't even ditch my ISPs equipment, only set it on "bridge mode" because the modem is in the router. Fuckers must be spying every step of the way...
>>108900752>Try it and seeSo it seems... So it seems... I will report back my findings once I run validation>>108903105>am I a retard for wanting to coreboot it?Probably >why?Because it's an exceedingly extreme threat profile to account for and Coreboot retains many proprietary blobs anyway, it's not a silver bullet. Worry about your OS and network security or even getting experience configuring things first. For a client machine like a laptop that's mobile, there might be an argument for Coreboot I guess. Ultimately you're going to get pwned connecting to the internet way before a literal fed breaks into your place and evil maids your machines.>>108903550>is someone at Nvidia paying the Arc team to sabotage themselves?The Arc team (hardware team at least) is actually great and has done great work. It's leadership that's abysmal and wants to turn Intel into backwater company that churns out NPU slop. All the work they got done was because of Gelsinger and not Lip-Bu Tan mind you.Putting this praise aside, they probably needed one more gen and a continued push to develop broader software support. Sadly we won't see that given the market climate and Intel's position in it.
>>108906057>Sadly we won't see that given the market climate and Intel's position in it.Probably. Which sucks dick because I did consider Arc cards for two recent server upgrades (were still running on ancient 900 series GTX) but decided against it and I hate to say that was apparently the right decision.Gimping vGPU on the gaming cards? Okay. Gimping vGPU on the pro series cards after launch with a fucking driver update? Why even fucking bother with Arc at this point?I want them to succeed but they just keep making the worst decisions.
>>108906215>I did consider Arc cards for two recent server upgradesEven for the praise that I outlined, I don't exactly feel like being a free beta tester either lol. >Gimping vGPU on the pro series cards after launch with a fucking driver update?This doesn't surprise me, Intel has been fucking everyone in the ass for a while rugpulling a lot of NIC driver pages. Presumably to stop people flashing Intel's generic firmware to OEM cards to get SR-IOV and other features. >I want them to succeed but they just keep making the worst decisions.Yeah.. any good work from the hardware side (as I pointed out) gets completely nuked by the software and leadership side.
>Connecting to my server through Mint's filesystem to just move some stuff over>With the way this works, the server is basically seen as an external drive>Earlier I was messing with external storage on Steam >Suddenly these two wires cross and I get a random idea: Could I add my own server as external storage?>Turns out I can, Steam seemingly has no issue with itIs this something people actually do? It sounds horribly wretched and the load times must suck but I'm morbidly curious about it. Using my home server for vidya would be a nice bit of extra storage since I always seem to be low
>>108906057thanks, if you indulge me there's another stupid idea I've had. as of now I'm only really considering using it for storing media and backups, thinking of just direct connecting to the server through a nic and doing any seeding on my desktop itself.
>>108906969>Is this something people actually do?kind of, the most common scenario is to store in the server small games that load fast, like indies or emulators/roms, you could always split and decide which goes to the server and which stays
>>108899863Top 3 repos hit are javascript UI elements and a dead repository for WIZnet with no existing CI (in all likelyhood just a public archive with no Actions-held secrets).

>>108906969Just use a 10GbE link, would work fine.
weird issue, curious if anyone else has encountered itI have a truenas box running on my old i7-8700k system, 7x 18TB drives on a dell perc HBA flashed to passthrough modethe mobo has an intel i219-V gigabit adapter built in, but the rest of my network is 2.5GbE, so I installed an i225-V PCIe adapter and it seemingly works fine, I can transfer files at ~285MB/s no problem, system is stable etc. (I initially tried a TP-Link 2.5GbE PCIe card but caused full-on system crashes in both truenas CORE and SCALE)the issue I've noticed is, while watching anime, the framerate is sometimes inconsistent. it's particularly noticeable in slow panning shots, as if the video will pause for a frame or 3 and then skip ahead. MPC-HC (using MPC video renderer) reports 0 dropped frames, but the present time does drop from 4ms to 0 when it happens. If I rewind and play it back, it occasionally reoccurs, but often not. it seems to happen more often in low bitrate videos (like crunchyroll rips) rather than bluray remuxes.I thought only the i226-V was bad thanks to OP, but some quick googling shows the i225 also has issues, though those seem to be full connection loss rather than whatever this ismy only guess is that it's dropping connection for an extremely short period, or mangling network packets and resending them without any other noticeable errorfor now I've removed the PCIe adapter and switched back to the mobo i219 connection, waiting to see if the issue persists but it was really inconsistent before so it'll take a while before I'm confident it's gonealternatively, is there any reliable 2.5GbE PCIe card? (particularly for truenas SCALE?)
>>108907563>Total Ratio: 8.651I thought you said it was serving well.
>>108907809Use madVR and turn off hardware decoding.It's probably not a network error since running out of buffer should really result in more that a frame or two.

>>108908587the cooler mounting holes for the very small ones is mostly propietary so you cant fit some 115x cooler for example. your only choice is like capping the max cpu at 80% of its speed like 2ghz and it will never go past 60C even in the hot summer

(particularly for truenas SCALE?)I wish I could help you as I went through this myself few years ago and I had a list of good adapters which I dont have anymore, but I just said fuck it and upgraded to dual 10G sfp+ cards and was well worth it considering how much power rj45>1G cards are sucking for just being on.
>>108906969Like the others have said you can use a 10gb link and get just as fast as local HDDsYou can actually get faster if you use an FS like ZFS or any other one with RAM and SSD caching.At that point you can have an HDD array that you can pull 1GB/s+ and have automatic caching to faster storage. Depending on how big the cache is you will load a game from HDD initially but any other time afterwards it'll be sata SSD performance in load times.
