Hey guys! Short time United State Air Force listener here, less then 2 years. I have listed to every episode of LUP, Selfhosted, LAN, and the Extras. I love all of them and can't wait for a north east meet up so I can maybe join. You've sparked my tinkering interest with the wz_mini_hack in episode 88. I'm struggling to find a ethernet to USB adapter that will work though. Can you guys suggest one that's worked for you?  P.S. enjoy the sats, and keep up the great work!

Let's be real. I might as well retract my entry. We all know who's getting that drive.

for hotel rooms, I bought a small Roku that is not a stick, but instead uses a hdmi cable, and use it exclusively for travel. it has my accounts signed in and doesn’t require me to give the hotel any of my streaming account info.

tHAT'S qUAKERS! 1st time ever communicating with any media entity, ever. & ya, long itme listener. :) Everything on a pi! Apache, Jellyfin, Nextcloud, Wikimedia... The Jfin video processing is done on a Nvidia Jetson Nano 2GB and don't tell anyone but... my media is still hosted on a Win7 machine & shared out to the pi. Shhh!!! But hey! That pi is running tailscale and I can acces it from anywhere! Got another 8GB pi running Umbrel w/... well pretty much everything that's not bitcoin related :)

Loving the jellyfin january challenge, I've been using jellyfin myself for a while but never got into anything fancy with it. Seeing all the features you guys use or want has given me some great insight into improving my own setup - and reminded me that it's been a long time since I rewatched ENT

Hi gang, love your Jellyfin January challenge and hope the trend would continue through the year. Regarding donations and supporting projects: last year I decided on a specific amount of $ which I would donate each month to a project which a) I use extensively b) I would be very sad if it dissappeared c) doesn't have a comercial way to get funding. This year, jellyfin takes the funds for the first month :D thank you for the amazing content

Love the show! It’s inspired me to take on some new projects and are starting to require a proper storage solution. I’m considering a consumer NASes from Synology and TerraMaster as well as contemplating building out a server with 4 3.5” drives. What is your opinions on consumer/pro-sumer NAS appliances where size and noise are at the top of my list? Ideally it needs to fit under a nightstand and not keep my wife and I awake at night. Any insight is appreciated, keep up the amazing work!

i can take this one (long-time RAID/NAS user). #1: clean power. you absolutely NEED a UPS. To leave NAS unattended (we all do, right?) you should get them talking to each other. #2 be VERY careful with RAID5. suggest you don't go over 1.5TB each drive. Even 1TB drives will take long time to rebuild any dropped drive. I now use RAID6 so even if a drive fails during an array rebuild, it still chugs away. #3 avoid RAID10, its not 1995 anymore #4 RAID is *NOT* a backup. Offsite backups are king. :)

I ram 3 Intel NUCs with K3S Longhorn uses external 1TB usb hard drives. then I run metal-lb. I run FRR on opnsense my k3s servers peer with opnsense. so when I stand up a new service they ip of the services gets advertised back into my main network and I can then point dns to that ip. I’ve also integrated let’s encrypt for things that want to run behind my ingress service. been stable for about a year now

+1 for Star Trek talk. Also excited for alternative Wyze Cam firmwares - can't wait to try this and get a little more control over stuff I use every day.
