My plan is 500 gigs down, but my computer (Ethernet wired to the server) gets transferal speeds of about 4 megs down. Super cool

What generalization? You mean the widely accepted pain that comes from it?

I respect your opinion, but I’ll pass

Not be “that guy”, but new pirates beware: Jackett doesn’t work for everybody

Trust me, you don’t want to get instructions from me. Just look at my post/comment history haha everything I touch breaks in ways that are hard to diagnose. I had to reach out to tech support, they got back to me in <12hrs

Second on that. The whole “it just works” slogan was frustrating when it didn’t work at first, but once it finally for running it was great

I like the idea and I appreciate pushing efficiency as far as one can, but looking at that makes me feel like I’d get frustrated just getting the OS to boot properly

Holy shit, that’s genius. I saved your comment for reference. This is probably how I’ll end up learning to make these things work

In my limited experience, that’s pretty accurate unfortunately. But with so many Debian tools becoming more popular, I bet that attitude will change soon

Can you give me some case use examples for VMs like that? My VM knowledge stops at emulating OSs for software compatibility and running old Windows versions for gaming.

Best place to learn the basic Linux I’d need to get this off the ground?

Also a sick option

Holy shit, that hardware is disgustingly cheap. This is my number one option so far, thank you!

That’s a pretty cool solution, honestly. I’m considering all options here! I’d hate to invest then find out there are more cost-effective options or that I somehow limited the server’s potential.

I know, I know…but it’s good, faithful hardware and I want it to go to a good use.

Really good point. Is a Pi recommendable for selfhosting?

My plan is to keep the bare minimum on the boot drive required to get these services running. This is probably a Linux crowd, but I don’t speak the language and would rather keep it all in Windows if I can help it

Yeah, that’s kinda what I was afraid of. Thanks for looking out, that link was a 404 by the way

It’s currently running RedHat, I just don’t have any ideas for what to do with it. Running a server for anything more than NAS is new to me

Yes, but the stock voice recorder on my phone hides the data behind root access. I’m a musician, so those recordings are precious to me.
