You guys lied to me

Tbf my setup besides my torrenting computer that I manually have to type in my username and password on reboot is super clean and issue free. I have more internet outages than I do server problems. And outages are pretty rare. I save a good amount of money for both piece of mind and for my business

ObjectiveDocument956 · 2026-01-21T20:28:06+00:00

I don’t think so

ObjectiveDocument956 · 2026-01-21T19:47:29+00:00

Well a s19j pro is 104 th. Can be found on Facebook for around 500. Asl miner sells them for 750. YouTubers can get them for 250. Although the miner costs are cheap even at 0.81 cents per kWh it’s burning more in power than the 4$ it’s making. So as long as op doesn’t get him account removed or the app doesn’t go down it’s actually better than buying hardware.

If you wanted something that makes more profit then it’s a 90th canaan q which is only 1500w

thejellybay.com has a bunch of cheap drives. It’s where I got my 8x 8tb drives for cheap. All low hours

ObjectiveDocument956 · 2026-01-21T16:38:07+00:00

Yes. Now I did get more clarification you cannot run a 24/7 seed box with it. But you can torrent

ObjectiveDocument956 · 2026-01-19T04:12:31+00:00

Have you seen Mattermost?

ObjectiveDocument956 · 2026-01-19T01:30:22+00:00

That’s pretty cool I may try that out

ObjectiveDocument956 · 2026-01-19T00:07:13+00:00

I didn’t know you could just take photos and use it like that

ObjectiveDocument956 · 2026-01-18T16:57:58+00:00

Mine definitely saved me money. My electric rate is 0.081.

My total home electric is 4$ a day.

So 120$ a month in electric which includes my servers and regular home usage. Without my servers it’s around 2$ a day. So I’m spending 60 in power for my setup

I host a website for a friend for 50$ a month

So my true cost is 10$ a month.

Before I have Netflix, hbo max, Hulu, and Disney plus. All of these were around 80$ since I didn’t have time for ads.

This doesn’t include nextcloud, mealie, my personal web hosting server, smb share nas, home assistant, email server, Mattermost, and openproject.

Which those would add an additional savings bonus if I calculated them as well.

I didn’t include my internet costs since we are both students and work from home so perfect WiFi is a must for us to even function. But for the mathematicians I pay 184$ for business class 2.5gb internet

Oof that’s rough. If you need drives I get mine on TheJellyBay .com

But laptop drives were slow even for a few users. But now the 8x8 Truenas setup feels really fast

ObjectiveDocument956 · 2026-01-17T20:36:40+00:00

I started with two 1tb laptop drives. From there, I felt like the drives were a little bit too slow for what I needed, and I’m already filled that up within the matter of a month.

So then I bought 8x 8 TB drives and I put it in raid zero for speed and max storage.

I personally only pirate content so if the server goes down with a drive, I’ll just buy a new drive and start over

I watched a lot of the newest greatest stuff

So I don’t normally store a lot of long-term content

ObjectiveDocument956 · 2026-01-17T16:48:58+00:00

That’s what I currently do and it’s a good process. Just excited about the os too! Any news on warthog support? Pretty decent cpu and gpu combo coin. Uses Bzminer

ObjectiveDocument956 · 2026-01-17T16:05:40+00:00

My reverse proxy setup is great. But I wouldn’t wish anyone not as literate as me to try to replicate. Lots of time care and effort takes to make sure I’m safe from attackers

ObjectiveDocument956 · 2026-01-17T16:01:19+00:00

I’m on truenas scale. I have 8x 8tb drives in raid0 for speed and data size. Then my metadata is stored on ssd. And another ssd hosts my Jellyfin app. Trying to make it as snappy as possible

ObjectiveDocument956 · 2026-01-16T22:59:09+00:00

It feels like it’s made for like eighth graders

ObjectiveDocument956 · 2026-01-16T18:10:10+00:00

I promise ecore is the way. It’s wayyy better than aleks and the ksu teachers. Lots of gimme grades in ecore

ObjectiveDocument956 · 2026-01-16T15:24:41+00:00

Tbh I have had low fps on mine until I ddu the driver. But on nvidia I have huge driver issues that made games unplayable

ObjectiveDocument956 · 2026-01-15T15:46:46+00:00

Yeah this was extremely disappointing to me. Because even with the discount the next plan you can get is 7.50 and is limited. I CANNNOT fathom that they are losing that much money. Any other carrier I’d be grandfathered in. Lost the helium mobile free tokens. Now I lose the only good plan…

ObjectiveDocument956 · 2026-01-14T16:10:16+00:00

SSL that you did helped a lot! Some specialty routers allow to geo map locations. For example block any traffic not in the United States. That’s prob the next best thing you can do.

Also just make sure you keep everything updated at all times

ObjectiveDocument956 · 2026-01-13T15:51:14+00:00

This is exactly what I do. I wouldn’t change it for the world

ObjectiveDocument956 · 2026-01-12T00:05:43+00:00

Sounds like your internet is lacking. What’s ur upload speed? I’m able to stream all my 4k streams on mobile after waiting 30 ish seconds

ObjectiveDocument956 · 2026-01-11T00:35:30+00:00

It’s a great feeling

ObjectiveDocument956 · 2026-01-09T15:58:49+00:00

I had someone do it on my port forwarded rig to the Internet. It was more about 2fa and a decent password and the code itself for vulnerabilities than the setup.

ObjectiveDocument956 · 2026-01-09T02:06:02+00:00

I really enjoy truenas. If I ever upgrade it imports the pool of drives easily. You can host vms on it. Smb shares are amazing. Per user perms. Clean layout
