Great video. Made me reconsider using mergerfs and snapraid instead of zfs. invidious link.

Thanks for the help. It seams like plasma big screen is back in development and is getting regular pull requests on it’s git repo. I guess we can both just wait for it to have a stable release.

Seems cool, but I don’t really want something unstable considering that other non technical people rely on it.

I might try that as I wait for plasma big screen to be fully ready.

Sorry, I don’t get the joke?

If you want to set-up disk encryption you should probably understand that while the server is booted up as far as I know there will be no disk encryption leaving it completely available for anyone to take data from

Although most people entering your house would probably unplug the laptop and open it at there own home the data could still be valuable if it stays powered up with battery power.

If communism is a complete lack of a state, do you believe communism is possible?

So real!

Thank you for telling me that. I never really thought that communist nations have done good things in the past, I suppose I already knew that about china. But I did not know that about the USSR. There is no education about any good thing communist nations have done well, at least in the curriculum I grew up with. And communism is therefore ingrained in people essentially as a synonym for bad.

I’m assuming your talking about Russia and China I think it very fare to criticise them, considering they are both totalitarian nations which don’t respect the needs of there citizens.

Dang I didn’t know there were successful communist nations in developing countries.

Yeah I need read and write, I will look at posix for Ocis though.

I’ve heard of seafile but i remember something about it turned me off, ocis on the other hand sounds awesome, owncloud but written in go? I will definitely look into that and thanks for the recommendation.

That’s right I need native drive mounting into dolphin and Macos finder. Seafile doesn’t have it for any linux file Explorer which means it won’t work for me.

I think Ocis does have it though.

I haven’t used nextcloud but it seems frustrating that there isn’t any really good selfhosted file cloud. Nextcloud is really chunky and inefficient but it seems to be the best option despite that.

Proxmox definitely has a harder set-up i am currently doing it right now and I’ve found it a bit of a learning curve, but it is definitely the ultimately better and more fun option if you ask me ;)

Someone should correct me if I’m wrong but auto update should be as easy as scheduling the commands for apt or whatever package manager your using to update.

For me at least I never considered a synology nas it seemed like the apple of home servers. Especially when I enjoy building machines anyway there was no point. Although I can definitely see the appeal for some people.

I wonder if there are more open solutions that don’t require building a machine from scratch.

Kubenetes or k3s and some volunteer computing programs. Or mine monaro to offset the power bill of your other servers.

Firefox is the default on Linux. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

It’s sad to see Firefox continue to lose popularity I thought there might be some kind of comeback but no.
