  • This was the final push that convinced me to rebuild my server from scratch! I started doing so 3 weeks ago :D

    I was running my containers on a single good old Debian, that I replaced with Proxmox. I set up several VM that don’t share anything between them :

    • One for all the services I don’t really care about, like game servers and utilities with no personal data.
    • A second one for services in need of a GPU passthrough (Immich and Jellyfin) and partial access to some of my data (photos and movies in this case)
    • And a third one that gets access to all my personal data, only hosting a container for WebDAV access and a web file browser. I might hide these two services behind a VPN in the future if I feel like doing so, for now it is still to practical to have them freely available…
    • A last VM is running network related app like my reverse proxy.

    I should have done this years ago, but I’m still learning and learning costs time :p

    Next I want to hide all of Internet facing services behind an identity provider/application proxy (I don’t really know if it is the right way to name it ?) like Authentic to totally block access to any content from unauthorized visitors.

    I guess I’ll be mostly fine once this is done ^^




  • Hi there ! If your i5 gen10 can only handle one 4k transcode, you might want to double check if your hardware acceleration parameters are correctly set ^^

    My home server runs on a small Intel N100, a 4k transcode eats up 30% of the CPU at most. I checked, it can transcode 3 streams without any lag, up to 4 transcodings if nothing else is eating the cpu. I’m not using Plex though, I got Jellyfin. I don’t know how Plex handles things.






  • Maybe you’re right, but I also think the difference is due to how the EU is trying to justify this : they say their IR camera will help lower phone use while driving.

    It’s very hard to use the same rhetoric against motorcycles, because you actually always need both hands to drive, making phone use far more hard and risky than with a car.

    And anyway, most motorbike crashes aren’t due to inattention but mostly overspeed, which an IR camera won’t help to deal with.
