Everything works except Thunderbolt/USB4 and Video output via USB-C

I wouldn’t use it as a NAS if you plan to use NVMe SSDs for fast storage (since you can’t connect them via USB4), but if you only plan on using SATA SSDs or mechanical drives, USB 3 should be fine. Other than that, everything you would need in a server is there and works flawlessly.

You can install Linux on ARM-based Macs too:

Sure, but you did you download them, listen to them and then delete them, or did you keep them around for archival purposes? Because it’s rather untypical to re-listen to a podcast episode many times, which you might do with music.

I don’t know, I also use DDG because I can’t find a better alternative. I thought you had a better recommendation 😂

The only thing that comes to my mind is 4get, a proxy for DDG which is a little better for your privacy, since you don’t have to trust DDG as much. But it lacks some features like DDG’s Bangs.

There’s also LibreY, a fork of LibreX, which acts as a proxy for Google. Still not great though. The one thing I really like about it, it that it also has a built-in torrent search feature.

I think the best option is SearXNG, you can configure which search engines you want to use, and you can access DDG bangs by using two exclamation marks (e.g. !!yt for YouTube)

Unfortunately there’s no good self-hostable search engine with a good web crawler

What do you use?

Gone?

Why did you download podcasts?

When I finally got a seedbox and started downloading massive amounts of movies, TV shows, games and music (first to the seedbox, then archived everything on my home NAS, deleted everything with lots of seeders from the seedbox to save space, and now I only use it for either new stuff I want to download, or seeding content with very few or no seeders)

Are people sending $5 every now and then

That’s still better than nothing I guess

You can actually unlock LUKS from another machine over SSH: https://www.cyberciti.biz/security/how-to-unlock-luks-using-dropbear-ssh-keys-remotely-in-linux/

I’m pretty happy with this solution

You can use Roundcube for web mail

Just want to try out self-hosting Ente. I’ve used their cloud-hosted service in the past, and I liked it. Now I discovered that it can be fully self-hosted. But Immich is great as well, I haven’t had any issues with it.

Just want to mention that TrueNAS is FOSS and unRAID is not. And I wouldn’t necessarily say that unRAID is much easier.

• Home Assistant
  There’s no fucking way I’m using a cloud service to control parts of my home, that just feels so wrong to me on so many levels

• Nextcloud
  There’s no way I’m saving my files on someone else’s computer (the Cloud). Even with encryption, it’s expensive. Hard drives are cheap. Put them in a server, install Nextcloud and you have your private, cheap, independent cloud service.

• Immich (currently migrating to Ente) for my photos

• Jellyfin + arr Stack
  I’m not paying $100/month for 5 different streaming services to have access to all the content I like.

• Navidrome for my (pirated) music

• Audiobookshelf for audiobooks and podcasts

• Pi-Hole with Unbound set up as a recursive resolver, cause why should I trust someone else with DNS?

I also self-host Matrix or Revolt servers as well as game servers for me and my friends, because it’s much cheaper than getting VPS or a hosted option, and I already have this server that I use for a bunch of other stuff, so I can also just use it for that.

It can even be self-hosted https://help.ente.io/self-hosting/

Both are great. Unraid makes things really easy with their Community Apps feature. On the technical side, I prefer TrueNAS Scale because it’s based on Debian, whereas Unraid is based on Slackware Linux. TrueNAS Scale is fully FOSS, whereas big parts of Unraid are proprietary. But there are more guides and tutorials for Unraid, as it seems to be the more popular option. If you’re going to install Unraid, definitely check out Spaceinvader One on YouTube, he’s got some awesome videos on the topic.

Sign the petition! Not sure if it is going to make any difference, but it just takes a couple of minutes. https://www.change.org/p/let-readers-read-an-open-letter-to-the-publishers-in-hachette-v-internet-archive

Unraid would be my first suggestion as well. But if you prefer something FOSS, check out TrueNAS Scale. (It is important that you go with TrueNAS Scale, not Core. TrueNAS Core is the continuation of the former FreeNAS, which is based on FreeBSD. Since it’s not a Linux system, it doesn’t support Docker. TrueNAS Scale is based on Debian Linux and much closer to Unraid, it has full support for KVM Virtualization and Docker containers.)
