One other nice thing with Resilio Sync is that it supports selective sync on an easy per-folder/file basis. While you can sort of do this with Syncthing by using ignore lists, it’s much easier with Resilio since you can just right-click/open files you want to keep on your device.

Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together

I self host a Wordpress site that mostly acts as my design portfolio.

It’s hosted in a Debian VM on a restricted VLAN with caddy handling SSL certificates. Uptime isn’t a huge concern for me since it’s nothing mission critical. It all sits behind a free Cloudflare proxy which allows for my home IP to be hidden.

I think as far as safety goes, I’m comfortable with this setup.

I’d like to think it was a subtle middle finger to Hasbro.

All the rich kids had Gravis Ultrasound.

Nano is more like fast food. It’s easy and convenient, but it makes you feel a little guilty and dirty afterwards.

In any case, I stand by my decision to almost never buy single player games within the first year or even second year of release. I save money and the worst bugs are fixed. If I keep seeing articles about a game popping up everywhere, I become even more sceptical about whether it’s hype that’s warranted.

This is going to be a bit annoying for those of us who do remote tech support for family members.

The next release of TrueNAS SCALE in October is dropping Kubernetes in favour of plain Docker/Docker Compose. That may be worth a look?

When did you last use FreshRSS? It now supports creation of custom feeds using XPath scraping. ie. turn a website into a full RSS feed.

I often wonder how those people function in the real world.

Some people are ‘forced’ to use WhatsApp due to it being the messaging platform of choice for a lot of people.

One caveat worth noting is that as soon as subtitle burn-in comes into play (especially at 4K), then you’ll easily hit 100% CPU usage and encounter stutters. It’s less of an issue if you’re using good clients and have control over that, but may be a problem if you’re sharing with your family and they have problematic playback clients.

Did you try out Nextcloud AIO instead of setting it up manually?

I agree that NC has a lot of problems. It’s a good example of an application that tries to do everything and unsurprisingly doesn’t do many things truly well. With that said, I was surprised that NC AIO ran well for me despite the horror stories of NC I’d always read. I’ll keep using it for now, but I could easily switch back to using Resilio Sync, File Browser, and Photoprism.

My main problems with Syncthing is that there’s no official iOS client and that there’s no easy selective sync (Resilio can do this) - using ignorelists gets annoying if you’ve got a large folder structure and many files/folders that you selectively need to sync.

There are some quirks with docker in LXC. Nothing that can’t be overcome, but docker in a VM is definitely more stable.

Ideally I would, but I don’t have the time to manage 30 different containers.

When I didn’t have kids, I ran everything in separate LXCs. I decided to just move everything to Docker and move on with my life.

Not OP, but I run Docker in LXC because my Proxmox host is an Intel NUC and I only have one graphics card (integrated).

I don’t want to passthrough the iGPU to a VM because then I lose video output for the host. I also don’t want to use SR-IOV for iGPU because it’s buggy and results in garbled output for HDR content. That’s why, in my case, Docker in LXC makes sense.

Obviously if I had a choice, I would prefer to do Docker in a VM with a dedicated GPU passed through.

I’ve done Docker in LXC for about a year and it’s been fine. Not perfect and not as secure as a VM, but it suits my homelab.

I went into Nextcloud expecting to have a terrible experience, especially with slow syncing speeds which seem to be a persistent complaint.

I was pleasantly surprised that syncing for my 3TB dataset which is a mix of documents, design work, photography, and videos, has worked just as quickly as Syncthing and Resilio Sync on local gigabit network.

I run Nextcloud AIO on TrueNAS SCALE in a systemd-nspawn container with ncdata bind mount from NVME and the rest of the data using External Storage plugin locally.

I only use Nextcloud for Memories (photo app), file syncing and file sharing, so my usage of it is relatively light.

Serving pizza and files. What a time to be alive.

mv pizza.01 /srv/mouth/

I imagine if someone had to do it this way for whatever reason, Thunderbolt would be more reliable? Assuming it’s true Thunderbolt using a SATA bridge?
