  • I’ve got qbit running in the following configuration…

    Core i5-8500T hardware > proxmox > Ubuntu virtual machine > docker > qbit. Currently seeding nearly 500 torrents and using less than 4gigs of ram. Qbit itself is running on ssd, while all torrent files are running on hard drives over SMB share. Something is up with your system.

  • That or they have failing hardware or really bad upload or something. Maybe they’re using a bad client or something. Seems odd for sure.

  • I’m a geek, my wife claimed I love my Wi-Fi more than her (in a playful way) so I said, I love you just as much as my Wi-Fi…. Called her my Wi-Fi… Then it just kinda stuck.

  • Most likely they’ll end up getting rid of that section. So I suggest anyone who is looking to keep that music alive start hoarding them if they haven’t already.

  • I’m part of a private tracker and am hosting some low seeder torrents all the time.m using my servers. If you want I can download them from you, set them to their own category so they don’t get removed and just seed them for ya. Feel free to message me.

  • that's pretty obvious. Their body panels are falling off and showing how little there actually is their vehicles :D

  • Assuming that Tesla goes bankrupt, actually shuts down forever, and shuts its servers down…

    At a minimum someone would have to find out where the software sends and receives data from. Then you’d have to reverse engineer the software to control the vehicles.

    Then you’d have to reprogram the software to send to your C&C server. I don’t think it would really take all that much to host that… it’s getting there that’s difficult.

  • I’d have to have friends across the internet that wanted files first…

  • I’ve been using pinchflat which is essentially a front end for yt-dlp and it’s been working fine for me. Mind you, i have all YouTube traffic from pinchflat running through a vpn to a different country so but that’s because that system also sails the high seas 🏴‍☠️😂

  • Some that I’ve been on and off listening to (because I struggle to consistently listen to anything in particular)

    • UNBIASED politics
    • ChooseFI
    • do it yourself

    There’s a bunch of other financial coaching type podcasts that I’ve listened to, but I haven’t been much in the financial coaching game in a while

  • 100%. That’s how I started, that’s how I continue to operate. Currently have a few HP prodesk and elite desk mini pcs, my old desktop converted to be a proxmox node that runs OPNsense as a vm, and an even older desktop that runs TrueNAS. However, I would like to replace my current truenas system with something newer and lower power as it consumes quite a bit for what it’s doing.

  • “Yit”? From a search of GitHub I’m not seeing a YouTube downloader that rivals yt-dlp.. got a link?

  • Just recently started using it again… but that’s mainly because I found “pinchflat” which gives a great front end for yt-dlp and a bunch of the options. Mainly thought it was a great project that I could use to start archiving channels that I want down the line like all of Demolition Ranch, but I came to realize it’s just a great front end for yt-dlp lol

  • To add:

    • Jeff Geerling
    • Raid Owl
    • Hardware Haven
    • Apalrd Adventures
    • BeardedTinker
    • Craft Computing

    I follow these and some other I can’t think of the name right now, but some great resources!

  • Just found Redirecterr and set that up, but that’s just for me since no one else seems to use Overseerr.

    Purchased a new to me EOL enterprise switch that will enable me to expand my network while replacing existing hardware that is limited. It also enables me to move to 10G networking woot!

  • Find something that interests you, and look at the docs of how to get started. It literally is the easiest way to learn and get involved in self hosting

  • Sounds like you should be good there then!

  • @[email protected] has a great response and also suggests using AdGuard Home instead, which is what I run as well. The biggest benefits the AGH has over PiHole for my family is the fact that you can very easily define a Client and the ips that pertain to that client… so I can define a single client for all of my devices , a single client for each of my kids, etc.

    Then from there I can block specific services like social media platforms per client group or allow them. And similar to PiHole, I can setup all the blocklists that I want and it’ll block them across all clients.

    For my kids, this means it’s blocking all those pesky ads that pop up in games getting them to go and download more mind numbing and draining games…

    Finally, I can keep tabs on my network traffic and see what individual devices are accessing what domains; however, this doesn’t mean that I can see the individual web pages.

    I have two AGH instances setup on two different hosts, and an additional AdGuardHome-sync container that syncs between the two instances, to make sure that all settings are mirrored.

    Activities behind for publishing to an old hostname for my instance before production ready

    Question for everyone…

    Recently I got GeekRoom.Tech fully operational and federating properly. However, before full success, I ran into a lot of issues and at one point had the domain as www.GeekRoom.Tech.

    As you can see (here)[https://grafana.lem.rocks/d/edf3gjrxxnocgd/federation-health-activities-behind?orgId=1&var-instance=All&var-remote_instance=geekroom.tech&var-remote_instance=www.geekroom.tech&var-remote_software=All] the www version of the instance still has a bunch of instances trying to publish to it.

    What is the best way to resolve that? I assume that those instances are actively trying to push activities but are constantly failing, potentially eating up bandwidth for them.

    GeekRoom.Tech icon and banner images needed! Volunteers welcome!

    Hello all, I’m looking to get some icons and header images setup for the GeekRoom.Tech instance and its associated communities.

    Would you be willing to create community images and banner images? It’ll help identify the communities when individuals want to post to these communities and helps create a community brand.

    If you have some ideas of images or want to donate some images that would help the communities stand out, please feel free to link higher quality images to a comment and I’ll check them out.

    Thank you in advance for anyone willing to help contribute!

    Images needed: HomeLab icon and banner DataHoarder icon and banner FAQs icon and banner GeekRoomMeta icon and banner New Here icon and banner

    I’ve got a site icon, but no banner. If you have other options for those images, I’d be happy to put something up there too!

    GeekRoom.Tech De-Federation Policy

    GeekRoom.Tech Federation Policy

    As GeekRoom.Tech is a new lemmy instance, we have not seen any de-federation drama yet, but I want to make a point to address the policy of federation and de-federation in one place, prior to any drama that may eventually happen.

    I am the head admin of GeekRoom.Tech. I have opened this instance to be a safe haven for all individuals that have a passion for technology, technology-related topics, and even those that just need a safe space to migrate from other websites such as Reddit without fear of shareholders forcing changes due to the need to make company profits.

    This policy seeks to address how GeekRoom.Tech approaches de-federation and how we will handle discussions about de-federating from specific instances.

    A Lazy SysAdmin says hi!

    Hello! Just wanted to introduce myself a bit.

    I’m a system administrator during the day working with some PITA IBM products, Linux, and related projects as smaller duties.

    I’m an avid HomeLabber trying to expand my own skill set but also provide a way for people to engage and have meaningful conversations. During my free time I’m usually tinkering with existing self hosted services or trying to setup new ones to enhance my family’s experience or to make life easier in some fashion.

    I have a passion for basically everything technology and learning as much as I can. I realize that as I get older, I’m not picking up on things as fast as I would previously, but I’m going to attribute that to attempting to introduce significantly more complex systems that require more effort, critical thinking, and time to implement.

    Two of my most recent successes in my self hosting journey have been getting this Lemmy instance up and running, and also getting VLANs fully functioning in my home netwo
