I’m on their free tier. If you don’t have a domain you need to get one, but CloudFlare does offer domain registration basically at-cost.
Because I’m on free, I can’t break down my analytics like a paid account can. i can say though that for the past 30 days my account has generated 886k requests and 47.56GB of bandwidth. I can’t tell you how much of that is nextcloud and how much is other stuff, like audiobookshelf, but hopefully this helps answer you.

100% this. I have one running in a lxc, and I expose it to the world through a CloudFlare tunnel so I needn’t worry about dyndns or people probing my public IP.

For basic hosting of stuff+storage management, TrueNAS has a highly polished product that lets you install docker containers with ease.

They have a curated collection that includes every piece of software you mentioned, plus the ability to install dockerhub images as ‘custom’ images.

Originally I started with a single Pentium 4 with 4x1.5TB disks, and it’s grown over time. Now at home I have 2 TrueNAS machines giving me 80TB of storage, and 3 HP elitedesk Minis running proxmox for general VMs.
I also have a managed switch, which lets me pipe the raw Internet into it, and deliver it to the proxmox hosts so I can run a virtual router with high-availability.

OpenZFS, which TrueNAS uses as its primary storage filesystem, has recently gained the ability to increase existing disk arrays by adding additional disks (as opposed to replacing all disks with larger ones) and this makes it even more flexible for future growth.

I will say though, that if the machine is dated and you load up ‘all the things’ in it, you might not be impressed by performance, so be sure to manage your expectations.

I also suggest that you consider making yourself a roadmap, so that you can plan out what hardware you’ll need to implement the ‘next big thing’

Also - the steamlink you mentioned - I’m not sure what you’re chasing there exactly, but if your steam rig is already in your home, the only thing you can do to improve latency is provide Ethernet to both the streaming sender and receiver.

Good luck!

It’s not FOSS, but you can use Plex for it. The PlexAmp app is very good.

Ok so what is pangolin? I’m only familiar with the animal and its role in the pandemic.

That was clever. Thanks for the share.

I’m sorry. I agree with you that your take is valid. I once had to explain to the assistant to the CFO why it was a bad idea to whitelist a gambling website (“they’re doing a fun play for the world Cup that uses points instead of real money’”) for the team handling customer card payments…and even then she still wanted it done until I told her she had to officially sign a release accepting responsibility for negative outcomes.

I’m not sure New Zealand is real. It’s not on my maps.

He had one of the few treatable forms of pancreatic cancer and skipped the only known treatment in favour of homeopathic.

If he had “normal” pancreatic cancer I’d maybe give him some slack. It’s just not treatable. But what he had was probably survivable had he treated it immediately.

Well, if there’s only 2 switches then 2x 2-way is enough. Otherwise, it’s (n-2)x 3-way switches plus 2x 2-way.

“nevermind, it’s fine, it turned off by itself when I made a right-hand turn”

Yes, I have the where-does-this-thing-go drawer, for food prep items that don’t fit elsewhere, and also the junk drawer which includes things like

• Lighter
• Weird long plyers
• Twine
• Self-fusing rubber tape
• Random rubber bands
• Twist ties that came with electronics
• A random assortment of sharpies in various states of abuse
• A weird scissor thing with a blade at 90° to a flat piece of steel
• Random Lego pieces
• Batteries that are good but not in packaging
• Hearing aid batteries (noone in our house has hearing aids)
• A single 12"x18" piece of Scotch Brite

• An iPod charger (FireWire)
• An iPhone charger (usb)
• 2 sets of analog headphones
• A dishwasher cleaning tablet

So…there you go.

Sorta like linear vs. circular polarization in radio transmissions?

Didn’t Borat do this?

Dude, Rick isn’t dead. His wife died in '91 and he retired so he could be a stay-at-home dad.

Man someone doesn’t like this vein of discussion.

Anyway, I don’t know what the admin staffing looks like, or what availability they have. I do think when there’s multiple posts from other instances specifically criticizing lemmy.world (including posts detailing post removal etc.) hitting the top of the feed, that 3 days of silence isn’t a good look.

A response when the topic was first blowing up and something that either better justifies the mods’ actions or justifies actions taken to address mods.

A very weak response, and several days late. Not impressed.

I genuinely think so. He’s a piece of shit, it’s obvious to everyone not wearing an ostrich costume, and yet he was voted in.
