  • Whilst on many things I respect Linus he is always opinionated to the max. I seem to remember him doing the same over hardware raid and then software raid as well over the years - so Linus what would you like us to use for some data security eh? I do have to throw in that this article is also from 2023 - a long time and a whole host of the issues he says are simply not true any longer

  • So you need to understand a bit more about addresses here. If you access the website from the pi it will be http://localhost:5232/ as the address using the defaults. Form another machine it will be http://ipofpi:5232/

    As said below you need to make a file to specify that address, but the defaults given will end up with the above ip addresses. It is a http, not a https as well. So config the address used via the documentation and then access it how you'd like to. This is used because you can, if you wish, specify a different port (5232 is the default)I hope that helps

  • It was ok until he said the AMD chip consumed more power. It is a X3D chip that is pretty much a given, if he'd gone for a none X3D chip he'd have saved quite a bit of power especially at idle. Plus he seems to use an AMD chip like an Intel chip with little or no idea how to tweak its power usage down

  • It is part of that, but youtube is consumed more on tvs than other devices now worldwide. Now that means that the people who now watch YT are less likely to watch LTT because that is not their focus. I mean shorts are a huge part of YT yet most people seem to dislike them.

  • you can force a lot of options still when you upload a video OR provide a link. Plenty do that. For example in the tags add yt:cc=on will force on captions when you play a video

  • Also I have to say that the whole idea of truenas is moving towards enterprise even if you self-host it. They'd much rather you bought a whole system than on your cobbled together old stuff. That's why it is now community edition, a simple way of saying you are gonna get bugs and things that don't work

  • Oh and as if by magic, after I said something I received an email from a client bemoaning about the drop in youtube viewers. She reckons it is not only a drop in viewers but in viewing time as well. Mentioned bloody AI as well just because everybody is

  • I get that - it is never going to replace a true docker setup. However I am pretty happy with what I can achieve on my personal truenas setup, and it is NOT exposed to the web which appears to be perfectly fine.

  • Youtube has seen exactly the same slowdown as everything on the internet. Plenty of people have less time to spend watching videos and being more worried about money (lack of it) whilst also spending more time on other things.i cannot blame one single thing but I have noticed that the complaints about AI being literally everywhere are at the foreground when people moan to me!

  • There are quite a few that allow uploads without charges or subs. But not if you start now, right now because costs have risen so much you cannot possibly cover them if someone comes in and uploads 20 or so high quality high bandwidth sucking videos because well, there isnt really the audience and the money is basically lost... and as said that is where we are. Doesn't help they only really use h.264 and don't get ad revenue. Creators have zero interest in making a video if they don't get something back, either in plenty of views or some income which currently, to be brutal, they have zero chance of achieving on peertube compared to youtube

  • Nextcloud is pushed as an easy to use docker setup these days, heck most people I know who "use" it don't do much with it at all so what database it is using is gonna be way back in their list of priorities...Plus the users outweigh the admins surely (as in those that just install then forget)

  • Wordpress, as mentioned, should cover you for most things, but you have to realise that Wordpress is getting more and more commercialised every day and cheap hosting is probably worse than a bad wordpress site. You can search for free plugins and theme inside wordpress for example, but if you really want to go white label then you will need to look at your own themes or modifying one to suit

  • oh and then there is truenas which will do all that you want and allows installation of things like plex and/or jellyfin automagically

  • If you go down that route then look at zfs which will allow you some redundancy (like raid) raidz1 can tolerate 1 drive dying and radz2 can tolerate 2, but obviously it is not 100% though I have never had a drive failure corrupt a zfs pool in like 10 years, and replacing a drive is easy. This question has, I'm afraid, many answers. zfs on a 3 drive system would run nicely though, and zfs is supported by Ubuntu. But of course we are talking different ways to do things, and this is part of the fun of self hosting!
