A lot of people self host so they are in control. This is Plex taking away that control, plain and simple.

I don’t know how many people host completely legitimately acquired content in their libraries, but your reasoning is such a cop out. Are you gonna defend them if they start scanning libraries for potentially illegally obtained content and blocking that because it could “put them in legal hot water?”

For what it’s worth you can convert the database to postgres if you want. I tried it out a few weeks ago and went flawlessly.

It bothers me that actually dirty and clean are right next to each other. I would swap ‘only kinda dirty’ with ‘actually dirty’ and reverse the order of all of them. Clean on the left and going progressively dirtier as we move to the right.

Yeah I’ve been using it for about a year and half or so on my main devices and it’s been wonderful. I’m likely going to down the list of supported providers from the gluetun docs and decide from there. Throwing my torrents and all that behind a vpn was the catalyst for signing up so I’ll continue to look for that support first and everything else is secondary.

I’m pretty sure it’s entirely disabled. Their announcement post says it’s being removed and doesn’t call out any exceptions.

I run my clients through a gluetun container with forwarding set up and ever since their announced end of support date (July I think?) I have had 0B uploaded for any of my trackers.

E: realized you may be asking about proton, oops

Wow this is great. I’ve been having trouble getting exit nodes working properly with these two. Sad that mullvad dropped port forwarding though so I’m not sure if I’ll stay with them.

I thought about setting one up for my main server because every time the power went out I’d have to reconfigure the bios for boot order, virtualization, and a few other settings.

I’ve since added a UPS to the mix but ultimately the fix was replacing the cmos battery lol. Had I put one of these together it would be entirely unused these days.

It’s a neat concept and if you need remote bios access it’s great, but people usually overestimate how useful that really is.

Or extreme heat. I’ve got family and friends fleeing Arizona every year

Yeah, it’s kind of ridiculous. At this point my most starred git repos are all patches to get various extensions working on the current gnome release.

I’ve been looking to switch away but nothing I’ve used has had the it factor I want.

Why do you think AdGuard is better than Pihole? I’m not upset with the job Pihole is doing but always looking for improvements.

Yeah I use different VMs to separate out the different containers into arbitrary groups I decided on.

I run my docker containers inside different Debian VMs that are on a couple different Proxmox hosts.

I can’t speak for everyone else, but I run about 6 different VMs solely to run different docker containers. They’re split out by use case, so super critical stuff on one VM, *arr stuff on another, etc. I did this so my tinkering didn’t take down Jellyfin and other services for my wife and kids.

Beyond that I also have two VMs for virtualized pihole running gravity sync on different hosts, and another I intend to use for virtualized opnsense.

Everything is managed via ansible with each docker project in its own forgejo repo.

Yep, my family only had manual vehicles growing up so I had to learn stick just to start driving. AZ here, also mid 30s.

Homelab for me too. Started off with a repurposed gaming PC and exploded into multiple hosts, tons of drives, and an itch to keep expanding

Wow, I had no idea that there was a quote out there that aligns so well with my beliefs. I grew up in a semi religious household but was never forced to go to church. My parents encouraged me to go, not only to theirs but even go with friends that were different religions.

After going to various churches through some really vulnerable times I still don’t subscribe to any religion, but I also can’t bring myself to go full atheist.

Too bad that quote is way too long for a tattoo 🤣

Search it at your own risk.

I like where your head’s at. I’m gonna go with the expecting more indictments angle paired with not being as rich/liquid as he’d like everyone to believe. What an unavoidable situation he’s found himself in.

Lmao, how have I never put that one together?

That’s a valid point I hadn’t considered. Based on a cursory look at how bail bond works, if you go with a bondsman you’re out a certain amount regardless if you show up to court or not.

So if he paid the 200k he’d get almost all of it back after court, minus whatever processing fees the court has. If he goes with the bondsman he forks over 10% and the bondsman covers the other 90%, but he would get nothing back after court. The bondsman gets the full refund and keeps it all.

I can’t imagine the return on that would move the needle much for someone as “rich” as he is. I don’t know though, and I’ll fully admit this is pure speculation.

I appreciate the absolute humility though
