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.

Are you me? <3

You took the words right out of my mouth.

thejevans OP ,
@thejevans@lemmy.ml avatar

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

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 ,
@thejevans@lemmy.ml avatar

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

thejevans OP ,
@thejevans@lemmy.ml avatar

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 ,
@thejevans@lemmy.ml avatar

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 ,
@thejevans@lemmy.ml avatar

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.

I use proxmox with truenas scale. It's a great option, but you just have to make sure to pass the hdd controller PCI device through to the VM. This can either be the SATA controller on the motherboard if you can make that work, or a separate PCIe HBA.

thejevans ,
@thejevans@lemmy.ml avatar

You would need a separate controller.

The LSI 9210 8i - IT mode is a great option and can be had for under $50.

thejevans ,
@thejevans@lemmy.ml avatar

Yeah, so the IT mode flash makes it just a JBOD controller, which is what truenas wants. It works with SAS and SATA. You'd need SFF-8086 to SATA cables. (One cable per 4 drives)

thejevans ,
@thejevans@lemmy.ml avatar

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

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

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.

It's not cheap by any means, but MNT Research has done a lot of work for you. You can buy their Reform and Pocket Reform laptops, but also all of their designs are open source, so you can start there and tweak it to your own design if you really want.

Neat! I tried to add my freshrss server and got an error:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN">...

My URL is of the format https://freshrss.example.com, my tls certs are good, and I'm using freshrss version 1.23.0

thejevans ,
@thejevans@lemmy.ml avatar

That did it! Thanks.

@thejevans@lemmy.ml avatar

I used it 2012-2014. It was fairly decent at that time.

I use todo.txt format todo lists.

On desktop, I use sleek, which is FOSS.

On mobile, there are a couple FOSS options, but they all kinda suck, so I use obsidian with a todo.txt plugin that works pretty well for viewing and checking off items.

In the USA, currently roughly 25% of light vehicles on the road are 20 years old or older [1]. The average age of light vehicles on the road is steadily increasing [2]. The current federal target is that 50% of new cars sold in 2030 will be electric [3]. I don't know what you consider "common," but with these data, I wouldn't be surprised if 20% or more of cars on the road in 2050 were still ICE, and this doesn't even take into account larger vehicles like busses and trucks, which tend to stay in operation for much longer [4].

If batteries get significantly cheaper, charging infrastructure gets significantly better, oil & gas pricing starts to include its environmental cost, and public transit becomes much easier for those that really can't afford anything but the cheapest car, then all this might change.

One of the big problems with "ICE vehicles will become unaffordable", is that the ICE cars themselves will get cheaper, and for people with less income, it's the big upfront cost of electric cars that keeps them from switching. If a person cannot afford to pay for an electric car out of pocket (it tends to be difficult for poorer people to get access to loans and for loans to be available for older cars), then they will be forced to pay for gas at whatever price it costs.

That is certainly not the only reason why EVs are still so expensive. Raw materials for batteries are a large portion of their cost. Currently, the cost of many of these raw materials does not account for a living wage for miners or the impacts mining can have on miners and the surrounding environment, and still the raw materials cost is a large portion of the cost of the batteries. Sure, there could be some magic new battery chemistry that circumvents this issue, but it's unreasonable to expect that. The previous data showing drops in car battery prices could keep going down, sure, but it's more complicated than simply economics of scale.

Proxmox w/Debian, TrueNAS Scale, and Home Assistant VMs w/(usually Alpine) Docker containers in some VMs

I'm excited for the premium RSS feed. 404media has some of the best reporting in recent memory, and being able to read the full text of all their articles on my RSS reader, plus having access to an ad-free podcast RSS feed with bonus content makes the $100/year membership price entirely worth it.

Now if only aftermath.site had a full-text premium RSS feed, I'd be all set.

I'm looking for the same thing but with the added difficultly of wanting live collaboration in notes, primarily so I can use it for grocery shopping with my partner, but for other stuff we do together, too. Hedgedoc 2.0 is what I have my eye on the most.

The current Hedgedoc checks boxes 2 and 3 for you, but not box 1. You can check/uncheck checkboxes in view mode, though. I'm at the point now where I don't really care too much about having a wysiwyg editor for my workflow, but I understand if it's not what you need.

They have a demo here: https://demo.hedgedoc.org/

The other biggest downside is how 1.x handles navigating to different notes. It uses a "history" page which works alright, but isn't very organized. 2.0 will include an "explore" page that will be much better.

As others have stated, porkbun + cloudflare + ddclient will do everything you need.
