Whoa, reported.

Idk. I thought the whole point was to keep people in the Google ecosystem.

If you are technical you could run an android VM at home and then just remote into it when needed

You are right. I was thinking they provided better login services, but in reality the best they can do is force a port and offload your certs.

I advise strongly against advertising jellyfin directly to the Internet. Maybe through a reverse proxy, but based on the question I have to say no.

The world has been a darker place for the past ten years.

Honestly, I used to seek out Linux for beginners, Linux for dummies, and Linux+ guides. It’s all relatively similar information. The first two may start a little lower and the Linux+ guide should dig a bit deeper.

Do web searches for terms that you don’t understand, and feel free to ask when you have conflicting information. We love to answer questions where you already tried solving it yourself and bicker about the answer.

I advise strongly against dropping it. That’s only handy if you need to recover data. A shock will most likely reduce the life of the drive. If it doesn’t work as expected after my advice, do not put data on it.

My thought is that the USB enclosure may not have enough power up spin up the drive. I have had up purchase separate ac adapters in the past to spin up mechanical drives for exactly this reason.

The easiest test is to just put it inside a machine with standard cabling and power it up. If it works, it’s your enclosure. If not, move on. Don’t use it.

If it works fine in the system, get a different enclosure. This one should work.

I think you have significantly improved since the first one. It flows much better.

Find a used one for sale. Bonus points if it has any kind of management. Replace the battery. If at all possible, have it unmount the drive at a certain percentage.

Knowing me I would harvest nightshade. I hear it tastes great, but nobody ever asks for seconds.

I have nfs shares on my truenas for my docker containers on proxmox. I put the info in my guest’s fstab and they usually mount at boot to /srv folders I created and specified.

It’s wonderful! I could see this hanging in on someone’s house.

No criticism here, but it occurs to me that the first artistic task here is composing the still life.

I purchase a bunch of machines off government auction, patch then up, and pass them back out for very little. Anything with 4 cores and 8 GB memory should do it. If you can get something with DDR4, that’s a big step. Bonus points of it was made after 2018.

Frame it. Put it where you can see it when you paint. Not to shame you or as a negative, but there were a lot of things learned all at once. It will take some time to take them all in. Only you know what it says, and it might take some time for you to get it all. Maybe you hate it now, but it is currently your most valuable work.

I started with docker desktop on Linux thinking it was the easiest way to get started. It initially ran well, but I started having weird stability issues. Moving to the cli resolved this. Relying on the documentation and web searches will help you quickly gain familiarity.

$60 seems to be the comparable price. I’d buy now before there is a run on PSUs.

It manages your services at boot and allows you to start and restart them. If the HAL is the buffer between the kernel and the hardware, then systemd provides a layer between the kernel and the user/services. It’s a super generic answer full of holes, but it’s easy to start with

Woof, good theory. There is (or at least used to be) a section of board next to the CPU that controls the voltage, inherently controlling the internal clock speed and the FSB. As the temps increased, resistances and compositions possibly changed, causing that area to perform out of spec, theoretically damaging the board, CPU and memory.

Just to be safe though, I would not trust that PSU either. Another idea is that the PSU was malfunctioning and sent inconsistent voltages, resulting in a multi-component failure.

If you were a business that could afford to gamble on it I’d say risk it. $50 is a low cost for peace of mind. That PSU can go to local market at $10, with a disclaimer.
