Nowhere near as big as yours. I haven’t bothered checking, but probably something like 100 movies and about the same number of TV shows (only a handful of series). It consists pretty much only of what I’ve ripped from physical media, plus a handful of things my SO uploaded. Total storage is about 2TB, and mostly DVDs w/ a handful of Blurays. Rips are full quality, and mostly ripped from MakeMKV, with a handful ripped w/ Handbrake.

We don’t watch a ton, but I do order new stuff periodically, so it slowly grows (most recent addition is Adventure Time).

Yeah, I always run Raspbian. It’s stable and let’s me largely forget about it.

Or just close off the most common vectors, such as disabling root ssh login, doing key-only SSH auth, and block traffic from regions of the world you don’t need to support.

Yup, we don’t have IPv6, so we’d need a VPN or something to do that.

You can based on the port.

Yeah, this is why I reuse my old PC parts. Here’s my rough history:

1. Built PC w/ old AM3 board for personal use
2. Upgraded to AM4, used AM3 build for NAS (just bought drives)
3. Upgraded CPU and mobo (wanted mini-ITX), and upgraded NAS to AM5 (did need some RAM)

My NAS power draw was cut in half from 2-3, and it’ll probably be cut again when I upgrade my PC again.

Old PC parts FTW!

Yeah, I’m liking it so far, but I’m still very much in the testing phase, I don’t have any “real” data in it yet.

Isn’t that what 802.1x is for? If you really want to lock down your network, there are options.

I’m not OP and am a dev, but also prefer flat files. Here’s my reasoning:

• versioning - I use snapshots in my filesystem (BTRFS), which is more than enough, and have a git hosting solution for things I care about more
• sync is plenty fast on OCIS and Samba, it’s just kinda slow on Nextcloud; I’m sure Seafile is better, but it’s not something I do frequently anyway, especially since backups from devices is automatic and uses a different, fast system
• incremental - not my use case, most of my files either never change (movies) or are small (text flees)

My main concerns with Seafile specifically are:

• developed by a Chinese company and doesn’t seem particularly open to contributions
• mostly written in C, so there’s a good chance of security vulnerabilities
• documentation about the disk format isn’t very open, so third party tools don’t really exist
• main target is larger orgs, so I’m unlikely to get very good support

With flat files, I can easily switch to a different service if my needs change.

Here’s what I’ve used and can recommend:

• samba - just a network share
• Nextcloud - full featured cloud suite (calendar, contacts, etc)
• owncloud infinite scale (OCIS) or the Euro fork Open Cloud - the POSIX driver has a flat file structure and still supports users and shared data; OCIS is designed for larger installations, but running on a smaller, single instance totally works too

Since you rejected NextCloud, check out the other two. I’m switching from NextCloud to OCIS right now, and I may end up using OpenCloud if development looks stable.

I assume you’re talking about Kauffman, who is the founder of LBRY, but that relationship ended when LBRY lost a lawsuit and Odysee was acquired. It is decentralized, using arweave for video hosting and a blockchain for video metadata.

The main issue w/ Odysee is its near complete lack of moderation, which allows extremists, conspiracy theorists, and other undesirables to earn money. This is because Odysee gives creators the power to moderate their channels, unlike YouTube where most of that is reserved for the platform itself. Odysee is about as free-speech as you get, and that unfortunately allows less desirable content.

My understanding is that Odysee is essentially what you get if you have P2P (not federated) PeerTube w/ a profit motive.

I need to move mine, my current solution kinda sucks.

People keep saying they want an alternative to YouTube, but then reject every alternative that exists.

Odyssee and other YouTube alternatives tend to host far right content because that content was banned on YouTube, so those creators flocked to the alternative platforms. The sites themselves aren’t exactly encouraging that content, it’s just where people end up due to the loose rules. The best way to fight extremism on an alternative platform is to post less extreme content and drown out the less desirable content.

That’s basically what happened here on Lemmy. At the start, it was mostly tankies and far left extremists, and gradually it became more mainstream as more mainstream leftists ditched Reddit and joined Lemmy.

If you want an alternative to YouTube to succeed, you need to use alternative platforms that already exist.

Sure, but other platforms do exist, and he could post to those as well as YouTube. Other creators do, such as Gardiner Bryant to PeerTube and Louis Rossmann to Odyssee.

If he really hated Google, wouldn’t he be motivated to invest his time into its competitors? Maybe he does, idk, I didn’t watch the video because I’m not a fan of his style and I generally try to avoid YouTube.

Same, but this isn’t that, so I won’t bother.

How can he be done with Google and still posting YouTube videos?

You can run it rootful, then it behaves just like Docker.

Lol, that’s some dangerous waters you’re treading in.

I use HAProxy and Caddy, and for different reasons:

• HAProxy - sni-based proxying to devices on my VPN; lives on my VPS
• Caddy - TLS-trunking (and cert renewal) per device and reverse proxy in front of containers

It works really well. My router is configured as a DNS server to route my domains to my local network, so I get to use TLS even on my LAN, which is neat.
