I think dd is the right tool for the job. Consider using pv though. It can be much much faster.

Take a look at tubearchivisit. Works great and is in development.

Sonarr prowlarr radarr and many more. These are very powerful media download managers. I recommend using usenet.

One router (opnsense) a big Poe switch and unifi aps made a huge difference. Also wiring Ethernet everywhere helped a lot.

Previously we had devolo mesh plugs.

Ahh nice good to know. For my use case I’d rather not distribute the certificates to all my services.

True multiple drives speed up reads significantly. As long as the videos are sequential read speeds can be very fast (600MB/s) even on one drive though. Results may vary.

I have a ~40TB HDD array and jellyfin is super fast. Just put the database and cache files on a SSD.

For bulk storage of 4k videos with high bitrates HDDs are way cheaper.

Full pass through has no advantage when my reverse proxy terminates ssl and internal services are http only right?

Regardless of fqdn nginx has to decrypt and restream anyways.

I think mixing RAM sticks is mostly fine today. Maybe you won’t get 100% performance but I don’t think it will be very noticeable. You may still run into issues with some capacity combinations depending on the mainboard/cpu. Regarding clock speeds usually all run on the clock of the slowest one.

Matching RAM latency also matters for performance.

When using different capacity RAM channels matter so take care on the order of population.

Reminds me of: https://www.wired.com/story/null-license-plate-landed-one-hacker-ticket-hell/

A guy thought it would be funny to change his license plate to NULL.

At least I have a nice static and proper ipv6 prefix.

However when I asked for a reverse dns entry they could only give me one for ipv4… So now my Mail server only uses ipv4. :-(

There are a few flaws.

There should be a clause forcing it to remain open source. Another clause should be that the license must not be changed. A warrenty and liability disclaimer would be also good. Otherwise a splendid license.

SATA minimum rated connection cycles is 50. 😂

I use it in readonly mode. Works great nice app and great search capabilities.

I use nextcloud and immich in read only mode on top. Works like a charm. I sync my phone over weebdav every night.

My first server was called xenon because I misread Xeon for Xenon but I decided to stick with it. My new server is called argon. For beefy servers I will now go with noble gases. Now that I think about it maybe I will use other elements in the future. Bismut sounds cool.

I have only one cloud VM and called it firstborn. 🤷

All my PCs get names I like Aveline, Elisabeth, Amanda, Eve…

I have yet to decide on a naming scheme for mobile phones.

Networking hardware gets descriptive names for their location and purpose.

Just read it. Awesome. Thanks a lot.

Pid 3386 behave or I am gonna SIGKILL all your children. That’s not an EMPTY THREAT. In fact I will start with the first one RIGHT NOW.

What do I take if I need more example domains on the second level? Do I use otherexample.com?

Thanks for a all the details. Makes perfect sense. I got it to work!
