  • That is a different usecase though. That is simply syncing local musical with a server.

    I do that too because i have an SD card. Just use Syncthing for that. Much faster and less hassle. You can use any music player on your phone that you want, not just one that works with jellyfin.

    If you aren’t streaming music in real time for the majority of time, then do a phone sync, not a streaming server.

    I think it has to do with data differences between self hosters and data hoarders.

    Example: a self hosted with an RPI home assistant setup and a N100 server with some paperwork, photos, nextcloud, and a small jellyfin library.

    A few terabytes of storage and their goal is to replace services they paid for in an efficient manner. Large data transfers will happen extremely rarely and it would be limited in size, likely for backing up some important documents or family photos. Maybe they have a few hundred Mbit internet max.

    Vs

    A data hoarder with 500TB of raid array storage that indexes all media possible, has every retail game sold for multiple consoles, has taken 10k RAW photos, has multiple daily and weekly backups to different VPS storages, hosts a public website, has >gigabit internet, and is seeding 500 torrents at a given time.

    I would venture to guess that option 1 is the vast majority of cases in selfhosting, and 10Gb networking is much more expensive for limited benefit for them.

    Now on a data hoarding community, option 2 would be a reasonable assumption and could benefit greatly from 10Gb.

    Also 10Gb is great for companies, which are less likely to be posting on a self hosted community.




  • Do you have the Intel drivers installed on your machine? Are GuC and HuC working?

    sudo reboot
    sudo dmesg | grep i915
    sudo cat /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/gt/uc/guc_info
    sudo cat /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/gt/uc/huc_info
    

    On Debian I had to manually download the i915 full driver Zip, extract it, take out the Intel drivers, and put it in /usr/lib/firmware

    Then hardware acceleration worked on my Arc380.

    If you use QSV, your CPU iGPU will be the one that can use it, so make sure to set your render device in docker to the iGPU and not the RTX 2060

    Capitalists making use of and profiting from socialist programs and structure is a tale as old as capitalism.

    Pharma as an example. Crowdsourced research, government funding with money from the people only to be bought by a capitalist corpo where they do the last 10% of the work by industrialization, jack up the price by 1000x, and take 100% of the profits and don’t even pay back their fair share in taxes, and then get a state-sponsered monopoly for an outrageous period.



  • To be fair, if something is open by default or very easy to enable without informing about the risks, tons of people will have it exposed without thinking.

    It isn’t that “tons of people do it so it is normal and perfectly fine” but more “people don’t realize.” It also uses some nontrivial amount of resources to process and block those attempts, even if they never have a chance of getting in.

    There is yet a reason I can find to have it forwarded for home use. Need to ssh into a machine to fix it? VPN.

    There are plenty of secure web-based tools to manage your server without a VPN also.





  • There is one neat trick: don’t expose SSH.

    There is still not a reason anyone has been able to give for 99% of self-hosters to expose SSH.

    If you need to access your machine via ssh while on the go. Wireguard to your local network, use SSH. Done. Unless you are running an always-up public facing site, the amount of times you have to access your machine that can’t wait until after work is very low anyway.

    Bots will scan all ports. That is just how it works. Less than 22, but you will still get spammed. Why force your computer to go through the fail2ban loop and take up resources when it is simply not needed at all and you can block it on another machine?



  • Solid works does the same thing though. Not crashing but even opening a simple model takes ages in solid works and the vast majority of things are single threaded there.

    Whenever we screen share a part in solidworks, it is literally 5-10 minutes of the meeting taken up by waiting for it to complete visual operations, load things in, and assembly constrainy computing.

    And you pay a shit ton of money for solidworks. Freecad also has these problems, but it is surprisingly not extremely worse than some professional cad software outside of crashing. Topo naming problem, UI, and crashing was definitely the worst thing about it. Apparently 2 of those 3 are getting fixed now.

    If you want to build it yourself, you have to decide on size.

    Are you trying to keep it as small as possible?

    Do you want a dedicated GPU for multiple jellyfin streams? (Definitely get the Intel A380, cheap and an encoding beast)

    If you don’t want to start a rack and don’t want to go with a prebuilt NUC, there are 2 PC cases I would recommend.

    Node 304 and Node 804.

    Node 304 is mini-ITX (1 PCIe slot, 1 M.2 slot for boot OS, 4 HDDs, SFX-L PSU, and great cooling)

    Node 804 is micro-ATX (2 PCIe slots, 2 M.2 slots, 8-10 HDDs, ATX PSU, and 2 chambers for the HDDs to stay cool)

    Why do you want a N100? Is electricity very expensive where you are that idle power is a big factor? Because desktop CPUs are more powerful and the CPUs can idle down to 10W or so without a GPU and they can have way more RAM.

    Tldr; go with prebuilt NUC or go with a desktop CPU for a custom build.


  • As a part-time sysadmin at my small company. We use Altium and Solidworks, so we need windows.

    I have 10x more windows problems than Linux problems like a bug for around 5 or so people where a windows update would disable the microphone, but every single microphone menu and setting would say it is enabled and working properly. You HAD to use their troubleshooter (which they are now phasing out, wtf) in order for it to be auto fixed. So soon it will probably be replaced by something else that won’t fix the issue.

    0 information online about it, 501 different way to fix audio issues, none of which work.

    Nowadays the only problems that I have with Linux are slight bugs or user errors, honestly.
