  • It’s doable. I personally run my Jellyfin instance publicly available and there’s maybe 3 people who use it regularly. With my internet connection, WAN side users are limited to about 720p but I’ve had the 3 of us all playing different media at the same time on occasion. The main limiting factors on the number of simultaneously active users is how much upload bandwidth you have and how quickly you can transcode video files. Any 10 year old box will be able to handle 1 or 2 users at a time provided it doesn’t need to do a bunch of transcoding. If your building a box, would use a 11th or 12 gen Intel or if you must go AMD, have a graphics card to handle the transcoding. The “build a box” route can probably handle 4 or 5 simultaneous users, possibly more depending on your hardware choices. The main limiting factor in that case would be your upload.


  • You’re panicking. If you want to help, stop.

    Life’s a bitch and then we die. We haven’t done more than get a glimpse of the bad part yet.

    This shit started when everyone started looking to the federal government to solve all their problems. Started caring only about who was President but not paying attention to who was running the schools or local governments. Looking for the easy path instead of the right or best path.

    As long as we still have elections, there is still a chance to turn this country around with minimal bloodshed. But it takes actually paying attention to whom your voting for and not just voting for the letter by their name. And then holding them accountable when they fall short.

    I could go on and on about all of the ways that this can still be turned around, but I’ve got work in seven hours so it’s bedtime.






  • When I was first playing with NC I was using a RPi3 with an external SSD for a drive. Performance was pretty good, but as soon as I tried the same setup in a VM, the performance tanked. The only way I found to avoid the performance penalty was a manual install like it was bare metal, which I didn’t really want to do. My experience with such setups is that they tend to be brittle.

    My understanding was that the performance penalty was caused by the chain of VMs. Proxmox --> Ubuntu VM --> Docker. I don’t know enough about it to say for sure.


  • My NextCloud is running on an old desktop that’s been repurposed into a server. The server is running Proxmox, and NC is running in docker directly on Proxmox using the nextcloud-aio image.

    Found that had better performance than running it in a VM and was less headaches than the other install options.

    I keep thinking about moving it to dedicated hardware, say some sort of mini pc, but it hasn’t been a high priority for me.






  • Just don’t wear it on your sleeve and most folks, (the idiots that care, especially), are unlikely to notice. They look for stereotypes, not facts. Your sexuality isn’t the whole of you, it’s just part of who you are. No need to flaunt it, most of the time. If you have a hobby, interest, or career that stereotypically matches the sex you present as, it’s all the more likely no one will notice, and those few that do, probably won’t care.
