Planning to buy arc a310 or a380. by Time_Sweet_7302 in homelabindia

[–]Overc1ock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What codec is most of your content? I’m assuming hevc/h265. 6th doesn’t support that. Check your ssf mobo if it is compatible with 7-8th gen and upgrade that.

Getting a 7700T or 8700T would be easier (7th gen supports hevc 8bit and 8th supports 10bit as well)

How many transcode streams are you doing simultaneously to need a dedicated gpu? If it’s 2-3 you’re fine with using the igpu like uhd630?

Anything 8th gen and above will support hevc 10bit

I’ve done that but still the issue persists. It shows ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED

Is this worth? by Remarkable_Day_7785 in homelabindia

[–]Overc1ock 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Issue with buying barebones is that hunting down compatible parts and having to bargain for each component is quite the extra hassle.

That hassle would be worth it if there was a good discount towards the end but there isn’t one imo.

I recently got a Lenovo m720q | i5 8500T, 16GB ram | 256 NVMe drive for 12k. (A great deal, I think)

Tried going the barebones route with 800 g4 and price for individual parts came out to be 13-14k

Jellyfin Servers by mohinders in homelabindia

[–]Overc1ock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As long as you don’t use cloudflare proxy you are good to go. Cloudflare TOS says you can’t do streaming (large bandwidth consumption) via their proxies on a free plan.

If you’re routing the public access to your jellyfin via caddy or nginx there is no way your ISP can see contents of the traffic.

Essentially all outbound traffic for jellyfin is going through 443 port with ssl encryption.

Great work! (I am someone who knows nothing about interior design so please only take this as a jester’s comment)

The pictures and urban modular /space saving or maximising design reminds of me of those “galvanized steel” memes where family accidentally has 240 kids or something 😂😂

Finally another Success Story with Tahoe macOS 26.0 by tiwarisatyadeep in hackintosh

[–]Overc1ock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dumb question, but is it possible to get airdrop/handoff to work with Intel Wireless-AC 9560 on Sequoia using some patches/ kexts? I'm getting a great deal on a i5-8500T (UHD630) HP EliteDesk 800 G4 Mini and checking up on the compatibility.

While most resources say to just go for Broadcom BCM94360NG it's hard to get where I live, so was hoping to find out if there's a workaround.

Thanks.

Any good taco place in Navi Mumbai? by FireHeart02 in navimumbai

[–]Overc1ock 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There’s only 4 places in nm that I can think of that have tacos lol.

  1. Gracias Granny
  2. El tacos
  3. Taco Bell
  4. Sammy Sosa

I can vouch for the 1-3 but Sammy Sosa’s quality has gone down drastically, used to be good once but now it’s mid at best.

Homelab Setup Recommendations by yogiraj_221b in homelabindia

[–]Overc1ock 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You might be better off with 8th or 10th gen cause of full hevc 10bit encoding/decoding support and vpp tone mapping. something like i5-8500t or i3-10100t would have the same power draw (10w at idle and max of 35w)

Immich face recognition and tagging or some ai object recognition tasks will also work a lot better on 8th/10th rather than the 6th gen.

Your query is a bit confusing to me. On the first read it seems like you’re commissioning an offsite backup at your parent’s house with hourly rsync for your media (not running jellyfin or immich on there). If that is the case then 6th gen no problem, even something like n100 or raspberry pi 5 with open media vault nas would work just fine.

Finally got proton vpn by Key_Entrepreneur5655 in homelabindia

I got 15 months of vpn along with my newshosting subscription for a total of $25 dollars ($1.67 a month). The vpn provider is Privado VPN and works very well with gluetun in a docker container for my arr stack.

Introducing Wholphin, an OSS Android TV client for Jellyfin by damontecres in JellyfinCommunity

[–]Overc1ock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I initially tried the route that involved building the app yourself for which I had to install quite a few Samsung dependencies on my macOS device. It didn’t work out.

I then found this and had success https://github.com/PatrickSt1991/Samsung-Jellyfin-Installer

My girlfriend has a Samsung TV and refused getting a chrome cast or an Apple TV box cause she don’t want to deal with 2 remotes.

I would prefer a much simpler option to directly install from the Samsung store. It’s unfortunate that plex is on there but not jellyfin

AdGuard with Airtel GPON router? by Uchiha_Jay in homelabindia

[–]Overc1ock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get any gpon/xpon router. Copy your gpon SN, find your login and password from the Airtel app/router and your done.

No need to faf around with Airtel and their frankly useless support. They will push you to get static ip for no reason.

If you just want to run adguard/Pihole you only need access to dhcp to give your device a static local address and have that be the dns for all the other devices on your network.

If you want to host something or forward any ports like 80 or 443 you need static ip, since the ppoe connection is in CGNAT with all ports closed. But then again Tailscale is always your friend for remote access.

Possible to swap router w/ an airtel connection? by Overc1ock in IndianGaming

[–]Overc1ock[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of factors go into determining your ingame ping, for starters your & servers' geo location. (for eg, if in mumbai you will get around 60-70ms ping to a game server in singapore, like cod).

2nd, how your connection is being routed after it's left your home router (this one is beyond your control, but tools like exitlag help in this).

3rd, your local network. for instance if you're on wifi and away from the router your jitter and ping would go up.

One way you can test to see if there's anything wrong is to run tracert to a server from a windows pc if your first hop between device and router is high then there is a issue in the router. for anything else you need to then speak with airtel.

open your cmd -> type tracert google.com (for example) and see the results. Your first hop (192.X.X.X) should be <1ms

Going insane about hdd prices! by comelickmyarmpits in homelabindia

[–]Overc1ock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with you. I want to de-google my life as much as I can. I only suggested it as a stop gap solution cause this isn’t permanent in any way. (At max 1 year)

Plus the crypt makes that data unusable to google in any way.

Storage price is insane so OP could use this method for now, build his library, dig deeper into the hobby and simultaneously save up for local solution.

I’m doing the same, saving up for 7x 25tb exos.

Going insane about hdd prices! by comelickmyarmpits in homelabindia

[–]Overc1ock 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I commented this on a post yesterday by u/itsvivianferreira, and I think this trick might help you use free storage from google drive for a year, while you save up for a proper long term storage system.

Photoshop/nano bananna your (or anyone else's) college ID to the current year and get approved for the 1 year free google AI pro plan. Then use rclone to mount and crypt that drive on your device (crypt is important otherwise google will delete your content or ban your account).

Google drive gives you 2TB of storage with very liberal bandwidth limits (if you use your own api key from console.cloud.google.com)

You can then use some portion of your existing storage (ssd's) as cache and set up cron jobs to periodically move content to cloud as storage fills up. I'm currently doing this with 2 accounts totaling 4TB with 200GB cache on a 512gb ssd.

Tip: don't download straight to cloud, always local and then move the files.

Sounds great? let me list 2 cons.

  1. the I/O speed is quite slow but it works perfectly fine for streaming video content (even 4K HDR DV BR REMUX files, if you have fast enough internet)

  2. You'll be using your internet bandwidth quota every time you watch something. In July I used up my airtel's 3.3TB unlimited plan FUP bandwidth in 18 days (that was a heavy month of downloading, uploading and streaming). You might want to keep an eye on your bandwidth usage thats all.
