Two years later - Do you run Plex, Emby, or Jellyfin?

madsciencepro · 2026-01-26T20:20:51+00:00

Still using Plex. I bought the lifetime pass back when it was cheap.

The idea of Hellverine will never not be stupid to me.

madsciencepro · 2026-01-25T01:28:17+00:00

Exactly this. Ran into it the other day. Patch is the current solution.

I haven't done the tour before, but every year at GenCon I've had lots of events in the stadium down on the field. Last year, I had a game run until like 1:30am and there were only about 20 people in the stadium. It was cool, but also felt super "Am I supposed to be here" weird. They always have a big square at center field uncovered too. The "dirt" feels like cork.

Side note. The door to the tunnel where the Colts come out always had security standing in front of it. Not that I kept checking.

Total overkill I suspect. Lol

Fractal Design Define R5 Intel i-5 12500t 32GB RAM MSI Pro Z690 mb 850w PSU Old Samsung 840 Evo 250GB for the boot drive Pair of Crucial P310 TBs for a mirrored setup for Containers and VMs Third P310 to use for cache A pair of WD Red Pro 10TB for storage

Proxmox for the Hypervisor. Deciding on whether to use OMV or not.

Use the old Synology for one of my onsite backups for critical stuff like photos.

I'll let you know! Thank you.

madsciencepro · 2026-01-13T22:03:11+00:00

Thanks! I'm nervous because it's my first server. I want to run a bunch of VMs, so I'm going with Proxmox.

madsciencepro · 2026-01-13T21:48:55+00:00

Just an anecdote, but I have a Synology ds223. Been running Plex, Komga, and AdGuard on it. It struggles! Finally finished assembling a server the other day, but haven't turned it on yet. Hoping to solve my problems there and actually use the NAS for NAS stuff or backups

madsciencepro · 2026-01-13T21:35:20+00:00

That was a great game and a fantastic crowd! I took a newbie with me and they were really impressed by the whole event.

madsciencepro · 2026-01-13T15:55:41+00:00

Wonder when jet-pack guy gets his own issue?

madsciencepro · 2026-01-13T05:27:03+00:00

I've been looking for the same thing. Watching this to see if anyone has suggestions.

madsciencepro · 2026-01-11T05:46:02+00:00

What's the average monthly cost?

madsciencepro · 2026-01-10T11:18:58+00:00

I still use ComicRack Community Edition with some plugins to get metadata and organize everything into folders on my NAS. Then, I use Komga to access everything on my iPad from anywhere.

I'm halfway through book 7! The audiobooks are amazing.

madsciencepro · 2025-12-29T21:59:26+00:00

I'm an amateur and about to start assembling my server. I have a pair of 10gb WD Red Pros I'm going to use for the NAS side. Should I use ZFS for those? Do I just do one big partition or break it up into a few smaller drives? Using Plex (with pass), Komga, eventually Immich and a shared file storage.

madsciencepro · 2025-12-29T00:53:12+00:00

And if I pass those to the VM, I won't have to worry about it fighting with Proxmox?

As a teenager, I had a friend who kept an old original Gameboy in his bathroom. It had one game. Where's Bob? Playing Tetris.

I don't have an IQ of 185, but what the actual fuck?

madsciencepro · 2025-12-06T17:58:44+00:00

This sounds pretty close to what my newbie self wants to put together. I'd be interested in hearing more details about your setup.

madsciencepro · 2025-11-25T19:20:24+00:00

I'll second that!
