  Same! Plex pass <100. I’m on a 12900HX now which does well for all h.265 content. The difference is I’m bare metal vs Docker or VM. I’ve got 3 micro PCs all running various things, a couple pis, etc. I like virtualization, but I like separating stuff out to not over utilize, nor worry about 1 system crash taking it all down.

  Never heard of this. I use Yunohost (Y You No Host?) After zimaOS let me down.

  I’m at close to 150TB, with a lot of my movies being 30GB+. Most are DVDs at full uncompressed, and BD rips in h.265. I’ve also still got my LG BD-ROM that I’ve ripped all my UHD discs on, and those are often over 40GB.

  Maybe there was an incompatibility or glitch last time. I’d try it again just in case! Could be a software bug, too. I’ve got an Intel 12900HX in my server. I know AMD are sometimes not as compatible.

  Can I chime in without sounding anti-Plex? Nothing specifically against it, but they’re kind of going bad. Jellyfin is a lot more private and better to host for data control/privacy.

  Don’t get me wrong, Plex of easy to setup, configure, share, etc. with a lot of robust features, but their private equity or venture capitalist money has them selling/sharing data and are cutting out jobs to save money, etc.

  JF gives you the freedom Plex once did before its corruption. I’ve been on Plex 12+years and switched about a year ago.

  Interesting, never heard of the Vero! I’ve been a Plex and JF use for a long time thinking HW options were limited to big box. Or buy a couple year old device and load LineageOS.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[AIT] what is your selfhosted local LLM stack?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh, it could be. I don’t use any online or offline AI tools. I’ve played around with Lumo (from Proton) when it first released bc its/was Mistral for privacy, and work tries to get people on board with AI usage (Copilot).

  Isn’t ollama made by Meta?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is anyone self-hosting their own AI?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Iirc in a documentary, the brain runs on just 13w of electricity, so the more advanced and efficient AI gets, the less power and therefore resources it’ll need. Maybe Johnny’s world is just that advanced lol

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Which domain registry or specific TLD do you prefer, and why?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I use Porkbun for registrar. Many are at cost with no low price intro to lure you in. I pay $17/yr for my unitedwith.me domain. Free private WHO IS, free SSL through LetsEncrypt, cheap WP hosting.
