Easiest is probably with a DNS firewall to block all Samsung traffic. I recommend NextDNS.

Next level would be using ADB to uninstall tipycally uninstallable-apps.

Final level would be replacing your stock Android with something like LineageOS or eOS. I have no experience with either of those, other than installing eOS to a friend, but I use GrapheneOS and it's such a joy, I can't imagine using any other Android ever.

My previous cellphone was a Samsung with stock Android and the difference with GrapheneOS is insane. I'm talking going Windows-to-Linux-levels of using software that isn't constantly spitting on your face kind of insane.

    Reading some comments have me in awe. 3 people live in our housr and we use 5 kWh, and that feels like a lot already. That's with a gaming PC and a small server.

    We cook with gas and have no AC, so maybe the difference with comments and OP it's due to that, but still, wow.

    Not the best overall, but it's very recent, just 1 week ago. I joined a simracing championship, and it has a solid roaster, including the best player in my country; he's eSports level, top 100 in the world and has represented my country at international level.

    The race was time-based instead of lap-based, which means you don't know exactly how many laps will there be, and it depends on things like leader's pace, whether they change tires, etc . I was fighting top 3, and everybody at the head was fuel saving for +1 lap, which meant they would have to do an extra pitstop. I did the math, and found that saving for +2 laps only in the second stint would save me a few seconds overall, just barely enough to offset the time loss of the aggressive fuel-saving required.

    So anyways, it comes the first pitstop, I decide not to change tires which gains me a few seconds, and end up leading. This dude catches and easily passes me, as I'm almost 6 seconds slower than him, but I keep calm and trust in my strategy. We reach the final lap and he has to box, and the distance between us is small enough so I'm unsure if he'll catch me. When I realize he probably couldn't, I became so anxious that I just forgot to drive lol. In the end, I crossed the finish line ans my engine runs out of fuel 200 meters ahead, but it was enough for me to baaaaarely win him. It felt amazing, specially knowing I had no chance at beating them driving, so I ended up beating them at maths :).

    And can I make an andress like "radar.local"

    I think you also need a reverse proxy for this to work, so your NAS knows that radarr.local has to redirect to Radarr's port. I use nginx-proxy-manager and it feels nice and easy to use.

    Hi :)

    I'm planning on setting up my home server, and I'm feeling a bit lost.

    I currently have a Jellyfin, SSH and Backrest server running on my PC, but want to get some dedicated hardware for it, and increase the services hosted to VPN, Immich, maybe Nextcloud, etc.

    The problem is that I have no idea for what kind of hardware to aim for. I don't know whether I should aim for Rasperri, or MiniPC, or a dedicated rag, or any other thing. My country doesn't have a big second-hand market for server stuff, but I that's also a possibility.

    Some context on my needs:

    • I run 1440p videos on Jellifyn, so my guess is I need H.265 support. Other than that, I think any CPU will do, and don't need a very fast one. Same goes for RAM, maybe 8 GB is enough

    • I feel like I do need at least 2 hard drives (1 for my files, another for backups)

    • The ability of upgrade with better hardware would be appreciated, maybe another hard drive or some extra ram.

    • Preferably, a rather low-energy consumption drive. Maybe 10 W idle? No idea on this front neither.

    • Budget is around $200 USD, excluding hard drives. I can pay extra for drives, or get them later on as I start playing around and scale up.

    • What Linux distro should I use? For security, I want to run everything with Dockers, so I guess it doesn't matter? I'm mildly fluent in Linux, experience with Arch and Debian based.

    Thanks in advance :)
