Mihon is great right up until you’re trying to read ultra high quality manga with screentones. Mihon doesn’t have modern scaling algorithms, so anything significantly larger than your screen resolution will moiré like crazy.

$20 Walmart Onn 4k. Degoogle it if you want or just slap smarttube and jellyfin/plex on it.

If you’re leaving Plex because it’s subscribeware, Emby is also subscribeware.

And now, that feature costs $240. Suddenly, jumping through hoops to configure Jellyfin’s external SSO plugin becomes a lot more rewarding.

it’s Element/Matrix if we’re lucky. Revolt is just another Discord - surely this single company will last! With Element/Matrix being an open protocol, it won’t be a “platform” you have to leave when it goes corporate.

All my video media that’s easier to replace than preserve is on my NAS running openmediavault with mergerfs. If I lose a drive I can always just, you know, torrent the tv show again.

My main PC (everything except the Steam game install directory) is backed up through KopiaUI to a folder on that mergerfs array that contains media that’s difficult/impossible to replace. Daily incremental backups.

That folder is mounted on my PC through DOKAN, which tells Windows OS that it’s a local resource (it does this more thoroughly than just assigning a drive letter to a NAS folder through Windows’ built-in system). The PC, including the “sensitive NAS media” folder, is then backed up to Backblaze’s personal backup service ($99/yr, unlimited size with one-year versioning). The DOKAN step is required for this, since Backblaze doesn’t support mounted NAS drives or non-Windows systems (presumably they don’t want to use space on versioned encrypted backups of hundred-terabyte pirate movie collections).

Oh, and my phone does one-way Syncthing to my PC, thus putting its files on the PC for Kopia and Backblaze to do their thing.

Reddit was like that for ages before they implemented i.redd.it and v.redd.it. it’s the whole reason Imgur even exists, Reddit wouldn’t let you “upload an image” and would only aggregate comments and upvotes for links to external content.

That said, this Plebbit project raises more red flags than a Danish standing army.

I thought RAID1 enabled faster reads too, because both drives have the complete file. Writes don’t get a speed bump ofc, since those are still bottlenecked by the slowest single drive in the array

Check that your client is whitelisted by the tracker. Some trackers wait to approve the newest versions of qBittorrent.

I don’t run anything on the server because I don’t need to. I have my home server mounted as a network drive in Windows, so I just point Kopia’s database at a folder in there. It’s stored as an encrypted backup, and I’ve got the config for Kopia backed up in a few places (and the encryption key as well) so if the worst case scenario happens to my PC I’ll just reinstall Kopia on a fresh windows install + HDD, restore the config from the backup, then restore the backup.

I also have a backup target to an older 8TB drive that I leave with a friend and update whenever he visits for extra safety, if my whole apartment with my PC and server burns down I’ll at least be able to have an outdated snapshot and lose only a month or so instead of decades.

KopiaUI is fantastic and easy to use. I used to run Duplicati but it had database issues that kept coming up and forcing a sixty-hour rebuild process every couple weeks and I wasn’t happy with the idea of my PC potentially failing during one of those six days per month.

Child sexual abuse material - underage porn. For obvious reasons, you don’t want this to be something you’re hosting automatically out of your basement server.

Isn’t using an alternate discord client bannable under Discord TOS?
