That's a big part of why I wanted one. Sure I can just use a laptop or build a small PC (hardware prices today notwithstanding), but the form factor alone is enough of a motivator for me.

Not particularly, it works great for what it does, but I much prefer the SRM approach. I don't want to use a separate launcher for emulation when Steam is right there.

Honestly the only reason I've clung to Emudeck instead of Retrodeck is because it seems so heavily based on ES-DE which I don't want to use whatsoever. Even their SRM support seems to require favoriting games in ES-DE.

Eh the password stealing shit definitely is but the special conditions for "israel" are hilarious (even if their code is borked and doesn't actually work)

Honestly. I swear this is like the 5th one I've seen in three months

tbf the vast majority of that country support him and everything he stands for, so getting rid of one fascist won't change much

It's good to avoid in general for sure, but having a frontend available is pretty useful for viewing links and such or a small handful of accounts still in that cesspool.

Somehow I never made this connection. I may be stupid.

It's incredible how they had almost 0 scalper protections in place here. Like I think the Deck required a 30 day old account at launch?

A few last hurdles - particularly Fi (lemmy.ml)
 

Over the past year I've been minimizing Google in my life to the point where I could nearly delete my account for good, but I've got two decent roadblocks still - their android calling app, and Google Fi.

The former feels like the only one that actually filters out spam somewhat effectively and transcribes voicemails to text, both key features. The default GrapheneOS phone app didn't seem to compare last I tried.

The bigger hurdle is Google Fi. Frankly in the Northeast US they feel like the only actually affordable carrier, comparable plans at the other big names are practically double the cost or more. I've looked into some smaller carriers, but every single one seems to have some controversy or other dogshit dealbreaker.

Any recommendations for these last two things? It'd be huge to finally break off these last couple things. I don't think I could get to the point where I could totally delete my account (mostly because of a few game logins lmao), but at least I could cut off everything that actually matters.

Nearly all Warframe builds now playable fully offline with selfhosted servers (about.openwf.io)
 

This tool seems to have been around for a while but just got another bump in traffic. Very cool to see, especially from a game preservation standpoint, and especially in the live service hellscape (even if WF is basically the singular example of a live service game that doesn't suck).

I set up a 2013 build last night to try it out and it was remarkably painless to set up, but YMMV.

Been seeing a lot of posts about replacing Spotify and such, so I wrote up a guide on how I did just that (badabingus.ghost.io)

Full disclosure, I'm pretty new to selfhosting myself, and I haven't written a guide like this before, but hopefully this scatterbrained writeup is enough for someone out there lmao

This is just what works for me and how I set it up. Always open to ideas for improvement as well.

Outgrowing the external HDD in less than a month, NAS options? (lemmy.ml)

Started my first home server about 3 weeks ago and I really need to reconsider my storage options, but everything I read about NAS setups is going right over my head. This is gonna be a novel partially because writing this down helps me think through it, and I also just want to be sure I'm on the right track.

Here's my current setup and what I'm looking to do:

  • My server itself is a little HP mini PC. i7, 2 TB SSD, solid little machine so far. Running Proxmox with a single debian VM which houses all my docker containers - I know I'm not using proxmox to its full advantage, but whatever it works for me. I mostly just use it for its backup system.

  • Currently using an 8 TB powered usb external, primarily for media and backup files. Everything else fits directly on the server's internal SSD with plenty of space available, but being able to expand or migrate nextcloud and immich down the road would be nice

  • Coincidentally, I've been using a similar 8 TB external for my desktop for the past 3-4 years. Right now it's just for desktop backups (cachyOS) and storing about 500GB worth of ROMs and growing. I used to use this to expand my steam library, but over the years internal storage has gotten much cheaper so I really don't need to do that any more.

  • I've been reading about external drive shucking, since apparently that's a thing? Seems like my best bet here would be to crack both of these external drives open and slap them into a NAS. 16TB would be plenty for my use.

  • Hardware: while I like the form factor of Synology/Terramaster/etc, seems like the better choice would be to just slap together my own mini-ITX build and throw TrueNAS on it. Easy enough, but what sort of specs should I look for? Since I already have 2 drives to slap in, I'd be looking to spend no more than $200. Alternatively, if I did want the convenience and form factor of a "traditional" NAS, is that reasonable within the budget? From what I've seen it's mostly older models in that price range.

  • I assume I can essentially just mount the NAS like an external drive on both the server and my desktop, is that how it works? For example, Jellyfin on my server is pointed to /mnt/external, could I just mount a NAS to that same directory instead of the USB drive and not have to change a thing on the configuration side?

  • Will adding a NAS into the mix introduce any buffering/latency issues with Jellyfin and Navidrome?

  • What about emulation? I'm going to set up RomM pretty soon along with the web interface for older games, easy enough. But is streaming roms over a NAS even an option I should consider for anything past the Gamecube era?
