I mean… they’re not totally wrong.

No idea but there are new and exciting torrent technologies being worked on all the time. Things like DHT nodes or turning off anonymous mode can affect speeds. Your other clients may have different settings enabled or disabled or may not have implemented new protocols.

Can you just give gluetun the wrong info for you vpn server and see if transmission still works?

Figma balls, that is

Nice can you send me the link when you make the torrent?

Well first I’d try turning off pi hole on the server avenue see if it fixes the issue, even though it’s unlikely as pihole should be handling dns requests for your whole network anyway.

Usually with this setup you only need to place your torrent/Usenet download client behind the VPN. Use a container like gluetun and make your download client container a service of gluetun so it only connects though gluetun. The rest of your stack can just access the internet normally.

There should be more info in the jellyseer log file, have a look in your docker directory or have a play with the “docker logs” command and try to recreate the issue. If you kill your jellyseer container then start it

You have to scroll for miles to reach different sections.

You’ll be better off trying to get a proper network attached storage (NAS) rather than an enclosure. Either buy a pre-made one or make one out of parts. That way you can use the network speeds. Or you could get a usb3 pcie card, they are very cheap these days.

Does your “old computer” have usb3 or usb c? If not you’ll find it very slow to access all that data over usb 2

Yes it is

We’ll what do you want to do on your server? Why not just get the same one again?

head over to !selfhosted@lemmy.world and watch any perceived savings evaporate into thin air. along with your spare time… seriously, its great.

it says on that mediasonic link

Important Note: • For eSata connection: Make sure your eSata port Support port multiplier. Most onboard eSata and some eSata PCI-E card only Support up to 5 drives. To see all 8 hard drives in eSata you need a eSata PCIe card that supports 8 drives.

I’m assuming the enclosure doesn’t do any of the raid/array configuration, it just passes data through.

as far as I know only USB and eSata can do port multiplying. I think if you want to get access to all the drives you’ll have to get a pcie card to handle the eSata or just use USB3. eSata (6gb/s) is faster than USB3 (5gb/s) and you might actually manage to saturate the connection trying to read or write to 8 drives though one cable.

in your use case both options are less than desirable but esata (if done correctly) could be faster. USB3 will probably be fine unless you really need that extra gb/s of speed

Edit: It looks like sata port multiplying can exist but its not really supported by manufacturers nor required by the standard so hit and miss as to whether a board can handle it.

So… silicon?

just break the screen off. call it a headless sever.

Me: I got a small plex server going to save money compared to steaming…

Narrator: He did not.

But do antivirus really help with that? Is it going to check for open ports and see if the service listening has a strong password?

You can’t program against social engineering or missconfiguration, and because those are the only real vulnerabilities in Linux there’s no need for antivirus.

I think you’re about to find out that the “belief” that Linux doesn’t need antivirus isn’t just held by everyone in this community, it’s held by the whole Linux community. Hence there being no active projects in the space.

Heck you almost don’t need any antivirus in windows anymore. Just windows defender and half a brain when it comes to what you download.

That’s… not all hand written is it? No one who is good at computers can write that well. We got into this BECAUSE we couldn’t write well, right?

IRC as in Internet relay chat? I haven’t used it but how would it help me get around my loe data cap? I’m trying Robinhood some data not find obscure downloads. Even if someone provided me with some direct download links I still need to spend the data getting it onto my system.
