Reddit Won’t Be the Same. Neither Will the Internet
This is why having a public space organised by ourselves is the way forward. Everything else is just about manipulating you to extract as much as possible value from you.

YSK: While you're on Lemmy/Kbin/Fediverse, you're not "the product" but you're also not "the customer".

To me that's trying to fit something that doesn't belong into a capitalist box.
It just seems unnecessary to me.
It's a place to interact with other human beings, and hopefully we can make that as positive an experience for people as possible.

Getting Plex Pass for 75 USD got me into the ecosystem. Now I promote and help support their product for free.
Satisfied customers still provide value to Plex.

Welcome to [email protected] - What do you selfhost?
Plex+arrs etc Nextcloud Komga SWAG Photoprism HA
128TB.
My main hypervisor is proxmox which runs an unraid vm with the iGPU passed through to accelerate PLEX and disk controllers to manage the storage. I also have 2 Endeavour OS VMs, one that runs Thunderbird and Insync. Another that has a quadro p2000 passed through to tinker with. I also have a homeassistant vm and a proxmox CT running docker.
I'm working up to transitioning the dockers on unraid to a proxmox container but at the same time if it's not broke why fix it.
I also want to mess with networking by putting in OPNsense or pfsense and routing some traffic through a vps.

How did Lemmy.world become more popular than Lemmy.ml?

I've unsubscribed from a couple of communities that did that. They were flooded with content that no one would discuss.

what is the current recommendation for a simple home NAS?
My users interface with my server via plex, smb and Nextcloud.
The guts are pretty complicated but from my users' point of view it's pretty simple.
You should think about what services you plan to offer and go from there.
Be aware that none of the off the shelf products have a good reputation for being secure when providing services outside your network which is when you may want stuff like Nextcloud.

"Pick up and play" portable games?
Secret of Mana SNES is special if you've never played it.
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/psp/934454-jeanne-darc?validate=1 is really good and chilled to play. It's a SRPG that doesn't have a huge learning curve but is still satisfying.

Do you prefer x264 or 265 HEVC?
Reply in thread
The general pattern is that 4k will be x265 and 1080P encodes with DV / HDR10 need to be x265.
But non HDR / DV 1080P and below is x264.
That's what the encoders on the cabal trackers are doing.

And yet these places succeed in creating true archives because they don't allow free loaders
People who think like you do so because you don't appreciate the effort that's put into creating an environment where torrents don't die.
From those top sites stuff can then be spread via people making requests at more accessible trackers.

[Rant] The people - or rather the attitude - of r/piracy
Reply in thread
I'm excited to see what happens, a significant amount of knowledge is moving to a much more democratic platform. If the people who can give useful answers to questions are here others will end up moving here to get access to that.
I know that I'm going to make an effort to help make this place worth using.

What do you use to actually manage your stuff?
Reply in thread
I'm on a dynamic ip and I've been considering doing this just to stop my remote services from being glitchy whenever the ip changes.
But I need to setup pfsense or OPNsense first so I can route everything properly.

What OS do you run on your primary homelab server?
My main hypervisor is proxmox but I have unraid running as a VM on that.

If you want transcoding then you want an Intel processor as their iGPUs can handle plenty of streams without breaking a sweat.
