7·5 days agoSecurely sharing is simpler on Plex. I can invite anyone with just an email and they have near instant access to an HTTPS encrypted service. I don’t have to deal with setting up a VPN, reverse proxy or ACLs (in the case of something like Tailscale).
Because if I’m watching locally I dont need them, and if I’m watching remotely Plex already offers secure remote viewing 'out of the box`. They give every user an SSL certificate and a public accessible URL at app.plex.tv. They also handle secure user authentication. The new price is stupid, but Jellyfin is not a 1:1 replacement.
A gentle reminder that Jellyin more or less requires you to set up a reverse proxy and a secure VPN to use it outside of your home.
1·15 days agoI mean… I’m almost glad they haven’t figured out the power settings. Imagine if they were all running around with the lids closed and the laptops stuffed into a backpack? It would be a fire waiting to happen.
Oh yeah, for sure. I’m all for more solar. I just hope the scientists continue their research and figure out a way to make the panels without quite so much lead. Or at least make sure the lead can’t leech back into the environment.
All I’m saying is it would make more sense to put them over agricultural land than in parking lots.
Solar panels are less efficient the hotter they get. Heat makes the electrons in the panel bounce around more at rest, which means they can’t be excited as much from the sun’s energy. Throwing them in a concrete desert with hot cars parked underneath would probably affect their performance significantly.
If that’s true, the problem would be storing and transporting it. Sending electricity via wires is massively inefficient and limited in range.
Except that agrivoltaics works out being better for the crops and the panels. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agrivoltaics
The crops part is similar to why grass grows better under trampolines. https://youtu.be/CoDn-1rGcpk
I haven’t used TrueNAS but from what I’m reading it has an option to import existing pools. If you have spare SSD I would yank your windows drive out of the system and try installing Proxmox on the spare drive first. There’s a truenas installation script on that community page I linked in my other post, it says to follow this discussion after it runs. That might be a good starting point.
I hope that barracuda was shucked from a Seagate Expansion lol (that’s where I got all of my barracudas).
Edit: Also yeah you should be able to dual-boot but I wouldn’t recommend it. Linux and Windows bootloaders don’t like to play nice with eachother.
2nd Edit: Added the official PVE Hyper-V migration documentation, but that blog covers it in more detail.
3rd Edit: It looks like there are some important caveats when virtualizing TrueNAS, which I assume you’re familiar with since you have it virtualized already but I wanted to add the TrueNAS virtualization guide just in case. https://www.truenas.com/blog/yes-you-can-virtualize-freenas/
You should be able to migrate most or all of your existing Hyper-V VMs to Proxmox, which would be relatively straight forward. My recommendation would be backing up everything to your TrueNAS (that has the dedicated HBA) then you can wipe your Windows boot drive and install Proxmox. Then you could start by migrating your TrueNAS VM over and passing it’s HBA back to it.
Once you have your NAS working in PVE then you could either migrate/rebuild your other VMs, or look into splitting your services into containers (Proxmox uses LXC natively, but Docker is another option.) There are some great helper scripts to get services spun up quickly so you can minimize downtime.
You didn’t mention how much, if any, experience you have with PVE/Debian and I know from a friend recently switching that some things are a bit more “difficult” than TrueNAS so hit me up if you need anything. The PVE admin documents will be helpful as well.

0·2 months agoWhat is the alternative to systemd? I’m sort of a linux noob when it comes to this deeper level stuff.
1·2 months agoI grew up in the 90s and there were some absolutely unhinged ads during saturday morning cartoons. This spoof is only slightly crazier than an actual capri sun liquid cool commercial.
The extent of the setup for Plex is to log in with your email and password, pick which shared libraries you want to be pinned to your home screen, and then browse. My parents in their 70s were able to figure it out and all I had to do from my end was grant them access to the libraries I wanted to share with a simple check box.
