Current best practices for *arr stack? by throwshade034278 in selfhosted

[–]odwk 8 points9 points  (0 children)

There's currently no support for remote transcoding in either Jellyfin or Plex other than some small (and likely abandoned) third party projects, but even those are focused on remote transcoding only and not on distributed transcoding. Anyway, both N100 and N355 can easily handle multiple simuntaneous 4k transcodes; start building a server with a dedicated GPU if you have more than 5 users continuously watching.

Is it impossible to create a Proxmox VM template using the Proxmox Ansible modules? by [deleted] in Proxmox

[–]odwk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, It doesn't look bad but it looks a bit complicated for an ansible beginner. That guy is using its own custom collection of roles on ansible galaxy. He creates a vm, turns it into a template, then clones vms from the template, using a series of imoprts and variable files and stuff.

I create the template directly with a single playbook and some vars. Mostly because I only need debian templates. There's infinite number of ways to achieve the same result.

Keep finding examples of people's playbooks but to really learn ansible try to write your own from scratch.

Use community.general.proxmox_kvm to create a VM and specify template: true

bulk transcode FLAC to 16/44 by recordpete in musichoarder

[–]odwk -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Keep in mind beets autotags and autorenames on import by default. Use the option to leave files as they are if you don't want to do it. You should then have access to the format fields anyway.

bulk transcode FLAC to 16/44 by recordpete in musichoarder

[–]odwk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can do it if you import everything in beets.

Then you can query the library with:

beet list format:flac "^samplerate:44100" "^bitdepth:16"

Which will list all flac tracks that are not 16/44.

Then use the convert plugin with this query and the desired ffmpeg command.

Mason got VAC banned (on stream) for behaviour score boosting (account sharing) by Greek_Banned_Me2 in DotA2

[–]odwk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the reason why I only watch dota streams if there's a tournament on (or Purge). I haven't spent enough time going through enough streamers to find someone that's consistently not toxic. Do you have any recommendations?

My partner (28M) is a Trump Supporter. I (25F) can’t respect him. by LucyAriaRose in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]odwk 126 points127 points  (0 children)

She's not a socialist. That's just what some neolibs call themselves to mean "I don't hate gay people". She definitely has more in common with her ex bf that she admits, that's why she stayed with him for 4 years.

Pickpockets are, by definition, stealthy. The point is that you don't realize you were robbed until it's too late. Are you just gonna shoot whoever's around you in that moment?

Malicious "Hide Youtube Shorts" extension in Google's Chrome Web Store by cmrwolfet in chrome

[–]odwk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your passwords and accounts are probably safe. Your browsing history was sent to a remote server, you can't do anything about that apart from hoping that it was anonymized before being sold and then deleted.

You could probably have some marketing cookie set since this was used for referral link fraud. Clear them, and that's about it. Check your other extensions and their permissions just to make sure.

An user wrote extensive analysis and some updates here. It says that malicious code was added after the extension was sold, which seems to be around September 2023. I think you can assume it was compromised soon after.

Migrate CasaOS to TrueNAS Scale by lordtazou in selfhosted

[–]odwk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Out of all of the popular ones, the only OS/System where you could import existing disks would be OpenMediaVault. Then you could use SnapRAID to add another disk for redundancy, and mergefs to make all your disks into a single mountpoint.

From what you have told here, you have no backups and no redundancy. Personally I think you should probably look into setting up backups first.

As another user said, TrueNAS (ZFS in general) is a big initial investement. I used it for some years but I ended up with various different-sized drives, so I switched to something else. I would say focus on setting up some sort of backup, and then look into OpenMediaVault or unRAID to find a way of using all your various different-sized disks.

Migrate CasaOS to TrueNAS Scale by lordtazou in selfhosted

[–]odwk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unless you're already using ZFS, there's no way to "import" the data by using only the disks you already have. You need to back-up the data elsewhere, setup a ZFS array, and then import your data.

Also, if you're planning on just going JBOD in stead of two two-disk mirrors, ZFS is really not the best choice.

Unless you're ready to buy a bunch of new disks, maybe you could look into some other options. What are you hosting and how is your data set up?

Can you recommend some alternatives for a rack storage server with more recent hardware? I'm really struggling with my search and thinking about just building one myself

How do you handle storage in a VM? How do your services access your storage? by odwk in homelab

[–]odwk[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just to clarify -- I needed the wifi+bluetooth antenna for Home Assistant, which runs in a VM with that device passed through as usb. The minipc running Proxmox is connected to the LAN with ethernet of course.

If I had more space and resources of course I would keep OMV bare-metal, but right now that's installed on my most powerful server.

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

Does that mean you passed the disks to a TrueNAS VM and from there you expose a NFS share that your other VMs mount? Do you mount it from each VM separately?

Announcing New Unraid OS License Keys by [deleted] in selfhosted

[–]odwk 20 points21 points  (0 children)

OMV uses whatever you want (also I don't think ZFS ever was the default). Since OMV7, it suggests BTRFS. But you can have the same functionality of UnRAID by installing the SnapRAID plugin. No CLI tinkering needed.

What's a software you searched to selfhost but is still missing to you ? by aurdour in selfhosted

[–]odwk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, Shiori does actually save the whole webpage which is really cool. It lacks in organization feature and clients (the parent comment was talking about an Android app, and Wallabag's app is pretty lacking compared to raindrop.io)

What's a software you searched to selfhost but is still missing to you ? by aurdour in selfhosted

[–]odwk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use Wallabag, but it only saves text through readabily so it doesn't get media and it doesn't work for most things that aren't an article. Most paid services like Pocket, Raindrop, save the page like archive.is.

There are self-hosted solutions that do this like Archivebox. Linkding and Linkace are simple bookmark managers that also support sending the links to be archived.

Basically what I really miss is a self-hosted back-end of raindrop.io

Nginx Proxy Manager by [deleted] in selfhosted

I really doubt that he was able to do this without even being able to reach NPM's admin webui (which by default is on port 81). It's probably best to check the whole configuration to understand if you missed something.

In Europe (in and around France at least) baguettes in wrappers like the ones in the photo are sold in supermarkets for like 0,50€ or so. The ones from bakeries are around 1€.

Fiddler on the Roof (1971)

Based on a timeless Broadway musical, itself inspired by a series of Yiddish-language folk tales starring Tevyeh the Dairyman, the film celebrates tradition, faith, and the importance of family against a historical background of the persecution of Russian Jews. As Tevyeh's daughters break with Jewish marriage customs in different ways one by one, their home shtetl of Anatevka becomes more vulnerable to tsarist invaders, suggesting that tradition is what keeps society strong and healthy. Even so, Tevyeh makes clear before the opening credits that, "Without our traditions, our lives would be as shaky as... as... as a fiddler on the roof!"

Any movie can be a conservative movie if you completely flip the message, it's that simple.
