46 watts… but, yea, I expected lower.

But, suppose when its spinning 4x seagate exos, they like their juice.

It apparently doesn’t allow HDD hibernation while containers are running, and doesn’t appear to like to use any sleep states.

Key word, is idle.

Synology… and HDD hibernation don’t really go together very well. If you have containers running, it won’t let the HDDs hibernate at all. And- I have a minio instance running.

That, is a pretty good deal. Better start picking up some MD1200s!

Nope, not at all.

Behind every successful story, is a lot of failures. (or- really rich parents).

I agree, I’d be picking up a bunch of those, if that were the case.

esp32-c6 (supports zigbee), is pretty cheap.

The other admin now “owns” this instance, and hosts it in the EU.

I am just a glorified moderator now.

I’d say, you have a small instance.

I used to host lemmyonline.com, which has somewhere around 50-100 users.

It was upwards of 50-80g of disk space, and it used a pretty good chunk of bandwidth. CPU/Memory requirements were not very high though.

I’d gladly donate a few TB, but Not about to fill my entire array for books i’ll never read…

Yes.

Nope.

Still just feel like a kid, with extra responsibilities, while raising my own kids. Guess sometime around 50 or so i’ll start feeling like an “adult”

Although, at least I call myself a dumbass, after doing something stupid, or wasting money on crap.

Anti-DDOS, eh?

You lost me there. There is no self-hosted anti-ddos solution that is going to be effective… Because any decent DDOS attack, can easily completely overwhelm your WAN connection. (And potentially even your ISP’s upstream(s) )#

It could end up being a shart.

Not a clue.

Maybe they like the pretty dashboard pihole has.

I use vlans to work with it.

unbound as a DNS filter and resolver

Its… worked as a recursive resolver, with filtering/blacklist features for years now?

I saw it through one of the apps which scrapes reddit comments for archival.

Reddit quit making those stats public a while back, sadly

Don’t make the same mistake reddit did, by assuming active users = engagement.

Look at reddit’s stats, active users didn’t drop very drastically when everyone left. However, engagement/comments dropped drastically.

Sorry… watching a sponsored video for world of tanks for the 10th time, or simply safe, or whatever other garbage is there isn’t going to make me want to purchase it.

I value my time… If I didn’t use sponsor block, I’m still going to skip right past it… This, just does it for me.

Well, I use plex, because I have used plex for a decade, and it just works.

That being said, if I were to use an alternative, Jellyfin is quite fantastic. I actually have a pod running it, just in the event that plex pulls a stupid move, causing me to lose faith in its platform.

But, that being said, I like the plex interface more then Jellyfin, and have grown accustomed to it.

Also, Kodi while powerful and extensible… just feels like a bear compared to Jellyfin.
