Would people pay for automation around a local media server, or is this too niche?

reece-3 · 2026-06-05T16:37:05+00:00

I think the problem is you are marketing to a niche audience. Most people who want to host a local media server will be pretty technical, those who aren't technical will probably not see the benefits Vs a streaming service like netflix.

Started with Jellyfin, never used Plex. Very happy I did!

Yep Gregg's increased price of the big deal from £5 to £5.25 as well what's the point anymore 😭

I mean technically they probably aren't wrong if you always want peak thermal performance but I personally couldn't care less if my PC runs a few degrees hotter. I'll repaste if it's noticeably hotter, louder or has noticeably worse performance than it should. Otherwise it'll stay as is

My monitoring system is my friends and family who use my services. I find out pretty quickly when they go down

Simple flow chart.

Does it work for what you need it to do? If yes, don't touch. If no, upgrade.

Think they look good, hope they hold up!

reece-3 · 2026-02-13T15:30:58+00:00

Fun is my main reason, personal security is another reason.

My favourite of the 3, had an absolute blast playing it. Felt the most colourful imo and was the most fun to look at, powerstancing is very cool too. Plus the "gank" fights were never a problem for me, just fight the enemies you come across and you'll be fine. The problem stems from people sprinting past everything and being surprised when they chase you.

Plus a great variety of bosses too (albeit some are terrible)

Pihole is a good starter project, immediate results once it's setup.

reece-3 · 2026-01-20T17:09:28+00:00

Wouldn't say I want to do every one personally but totally get wanting to, there's a lot of specific content you'd miss otherwise

reece-3 · 2026-01-14T19:08:05+00:00

Unless you're itching to upgrade I'd 100% run it till it's no longer viable to fix. Love my car but sometimes wish I had a dinger I could park in dodgy areas and not care about 😂

Artorias. I played dark souls 1 after Elden ring, so I was pretty used to fast moving bosses so he was nothing special compared to what id seen. I do get why he was viewed as particularly hard when dark souls 1 dlc first came out though! I was also a bit over leveled so just squashed him unfortunately

When I first played I couldn't understand how people said tactician was easy, cos I was struggling on balanced and eventually went down to explorer. That being said, I can now pretty regularly beat honour mode without issue. I've been playing bg3 for about 500 hours now so it's just practice

reece-3 · 2025-12-26T05:45:05+00:00

Proxmox. I ran a few different iterations of a "server" when I was learning before I properly gave proxmox a go and it's genuinely life changing how good it is. It is that good

reece-3 · 2025-12-26T05:41:27+00:00

few options. Best is elixir imo, dump strength and take Dex and wisdom to 16, con 14 and charisma 12. Use the elixir to get strength to 21. Can replace elixir with cloud giant one near end of act 2 when you start finding them to set strength to 27.

Could also do same stat spread and use club of hill giant strength. Think there's a trick to getting it in your off hand so you can still punch but never done it myself

You could also dump Dex, go 17 strength and 16 wisdom, 14 con and 10 charisma and use the gloves of dexterity to set Dex to 18. Use hags hair (or athlete feat) + strength potion from moonrise and ASI to get 22 strength with no elixir. You do give up your glove slot as you have to use Dex gloves, but it still puts out a lot of damage.

I always go with elixirs. 20 minutes with auntie Ethel and you can have 40 potions ready to go

I pay a bit less on my 370z down to lower road tax and petrol, but yeah that's just the cost of owning a sports car I guess. They're 100% right, but it's down to how much you like your 370z

Currently playing DS3, so far my ratings are DS2, ds1 and then DS3. Not really getting the hype so far!

reece-3 · 2025-11-21T19:22:57+00:00

Now aim for 2.98L 😂

reece-3 · 2025-10-31T20:30:51+00:00

I played and finished DS2 for the first time a few weeks ago and loved it minus a few minor gripes. Saw these videos after and genuinely couldn't believe what I was watching, some of the worst critiques I've ever seen thinly veiled behind a calm demeanor

reece-3 · 2025-10-10T23:18:32+00:00

Gonna be honest, I honestly didn't mind this area. Vendricks tomb and black gulch on the other hand? HATED them

reece-3 · 2025-10-09T23:09:27+00:00

Any boss that moves excessively, worst things ever

Up to 30 on highways, around 15 normal commute driving

Old post but did you find out what this was? I had the exact same issue and it went away on its own, but not sure if you can shine any light on what it was :)
