I have a similar setup. I just recently switched to the ASRock Phantom X570 for $100. It's a fantastic board at that price.

The same thing happened to me when I first tried to go there, but it's fine now.

thejevans , 4 months ago to Selfhosted in I hate to ask, but help me spec a build please

If that's the case, then just set up a pipeline to pre-transcode your 4k content to 1080p, so your server doesn't have to handle that on the fly.

thejevans , 4 months ago to Matrix in what should I know before hosting my matrix server (on my PC)?

Use MDAD and save yourself a ton of time and effort. https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy

Are you me? <3

You took the words right out of my mouth.

It's not lost on me lol. The news site is also a .CO domain.

thejevans OP , 4 months ago to Technology in Taliban Shuts Down 'queer.af' Domain, Breaking Mastodon Instance

ICANN is certainly not perfect, but there is a difference between the automatic control that countries have over their ccTLD and the control they have through ICANN.

thejevans OP , 4 months ago to Technology in Taliban Shuts Down 'queer.af' Domain, Breaking Mastodon Instance

The article explains that, yes, they did plan to move...in April. The Taliban government did, in fact, shut them down ahead of that schedule.

thejevans OP , 4 months ago to Technology in Taliban Shuts Down 'queer.af' Domain, Breaking Mastodon Instance

The problem is who controls them. The government of each country can decide at any moment that they want to take control of their TLD and remove any sites that they don't like. It's just not good practice if you want your site to stick around.

thejevans OP , 4 months ago to Technology in Taliban Shuts Down 'queer.af' Domain, Breaking Mastodon Instance

Oh I'm fully aware haha, and the article is on a CO site. At the time I made my account, lemmy.ml seemed to be the best option, even with the poor TLD choice.

thejevans OP , 4 months ago to Technology in Taliban Shuts Down 'queer.af' Domain, Breaking Mastodon Instance

Yeah, I'm really not looking forward to that day.

thejevans , 4 months ago to Selfhosted in New home server: what hypervisor/OS?

I have a lot of services. I use Ansible to manage many of them, so they're all in one VM. I use Home Assistant, which works best when installed as a whole VM or on bare metal. For the remaining services that I have yet to set up with Ansible, I keep the services that need the GPU on one VM, and everything else on another. Finally, I have an LXC container that is my SSH entrypoint and Ansible management system.

I could technically use TrueNAS Scale as a hypervisor for all this, but Proxmox has a lot of quality-of-life features that make it a better hypervisor. I could use Proxmox for ZFS and shares, but TrueNAS has has a lot of quality-of-life features that make it a much better NAS, so I virtualize it.

thejevans , 4 months ago to Selfhosted in New home server: what hypervisor/OS?

If you're using TrueNAS, use RAIDz. Doing anything else negates all the benefits of TrueNAS.

It's very easy to find them with IT mode already flashed so it's plug-and-play.
