  • Eh - maybe - there are definitely hoarders with the ability to absorb 300TB. They’re not common, but they do exist. There are probably close to zero hoarders that could spare 3PB, especially for a collection that they won’t listen to a majority of. It’s like saying that it isn’t worth digitizing wax tube recordings because the source is so low quality. If preservation is the goal, anything is better than nothing.


  • Normally you’re mostly right, but in this case I have to agree that lossy existence is better than lossless absence. 300TB puts it at the upper limit of pro-sumer capacity, but it’s still doable from a personal archive perspective. If you went FLAC lossless, though, you’re looking at 3-6PB. That quantity is almost completely unattainable by hobbyists, and presents challenges even for enterprise entities. This archive is the “photo of the original document” for the collection. It’s not optimal, and there’s a lot of room for improvement, but the alternative is to just not do it at all



  • Ya - or close enough (10.11.3). My LAN networks are my server and workstation subnets (both /24s) and my external NAT (my public ip). I also have my reverse proxy address (from jellyfin’s perspective) in my known proxies. From there, my external users are set to allow remote connections, have passwords set, and are set to “hide this user from login screens” and my internal users are set to NOT allow remote connections and to NOT hide from login screens. After that, i just use my public dns for every device whether it’s internal or external and call it a day


  • You can already do number 2 (with some restrictions). You have to set up your networking tab correctly, use blank passwords, and uncheck “allow remote connections” for the “local” accounts. i have things set up so that external users are forced to log in and local users just pick a profile. If you also add your external users’ IP addresses to the LAN Networks box, they’ll be treated as an internal user too (though how you keep that up to date is a bit more challenging). It’s not precisely the Netflix experience but it works well enough for us

    I guess man, I’m just trying to offer alternatives. We travel enough that we like knowing what we’re gonna get instead of having to worry if we’re going to be the next horror story. The airbnb app makes a point now of assuring you that the price you see is all-inclusive of fees - now why would they do that, I wonder. Ultimately, we’re probably some of the tidiest travelers. We just don’t have time to worry about rules changing at each place depending on how badly the host wants to pocket that cleaning fee





  • Appx and UWP are more packaging (like rpm, deb, msi) formats than an executable format. PE is behind everything in windows and the amount of effort required to change that seems truly Herculean, even for an organization the size of Microsoft. Heck, even executables for windows ARM were PE (as well as UEFI binaries). But even if you assume that they do go forward with something that insane, if they want developers to write software for it, they’ll have to publish the format specs so that gcc and llvm can implement them so that the tens of thousands of existing libraries could be ported



  • Sab might have its own mask settings - it would be worth looking at. Same thing applies here - subtract the mask part from 7 to get the real permissions. In this case, mask 002 translates into 775. This gives the uid and gid that the container is running under (probably defined in a variable somewhere) Read/Write/Execute, but anyone else Read/Execute. The “anyone else” would just be any account on the system (regardless of access method) that didn’t match on the actual uid or gid value.





  • Yeah, I’ve stopped using plex entirely. I was grandfathered in, but it just got to be too much nonsense. The license changes to unRAID don’t meet that bar, IMO. Yeah, the old license model is gone, but “buy once upgrade free forever” is what caused plex to go the route it did. I honestly never expected to get upgrades forever - I assumed that it would have to go one of a few ways for the devs to be able to feed their families, and what they choose is definitely one of the lesser evils. For a lot of use cases, it even makes sense. I stayed on 6.x for probably close to 3 years, so i would have saved money with the new scheme. I’m also willing to admit that if you’re truly dead set on free (both libre and gratis), then there are plenty of solid choices there, too
