yeah but it’s hard to find stock photos of cops beating up trees in the Black Forest

It says, “American police, when they find out what “der Schwarzwald” means in english”. “Schwarzwald” means “black forest”

Sounds a lot like what Charlie Kirk said about guns…

I have a similar setup, 3 mini pcs (2 dell, 1 hp) with a second 2.5Gb interface on each and a synology nas.

Initially I used iscsi for storage but I had a couple of annoyances that I encountered:

• At that time, taking snapshots on vms using iscsi storage wasn’t possible.
• My Synology NAS doesn’t have a way to natively install a 2.5Gb interface, so I used a USB 2.5Gb NIC. Occasionally (like one or twice per year, from my recollection) the NIC would stop working and my VMs would lose their storage. Easily fixed by rebooting the Synology and VMs, but annoying none the less.

Because of that I ended up installing an SSD in each node and creating a CEPH storage cluster. No more issues with VMs losing storage and it gave me the ability to create snapshots.

My current environment is 17 LXCs and 4 VMs living in a ceph cluster that runs on each proxmox node. Using PBS, I have backup jobs scheduled across 4 days each week, 2 of the days backup to my nas and the other 2 backup to Backblaze.

I’ve never encountered any noticeable bottlenecks with my current environment so I think you’ll be just fine

It’s Android with a version of the Niagara Launcher running

It took me way too long to figure out that this isnt about the band TesseracT and I was very confused, but now relieved.

When I was in high school I was playing WoW when Wrath came out. I was doing a lot of PUGs so there wasn’t any coordinated voice chat so I HAD to type in order to communicate, so that’s when I really learned to touch-type.

360 for me. All my friends had one and spent soooo much time playing halo 3 and GoW online. Good times

Is this your first CompTIA cert? I took my Sec+ the same year that I did A+ and Net+ and from what I remember there was a lot of overlap. In my opinion, Sec+ was the easiest out of the three so if you’ve passed the others then you’re definitely capable of doing it.

That being said, I got mine in 2010 soooo 🤷

Instead of a Roku Stick, you could use the Google TV Streamer or Apple TV 4K…..…..Amazon's Fire devices are also an option, but I figure anyone with moral qualms against Fox may have similar issues with anything tied to Jeff Bezos.

I got a kick out of the article recommending Google and Apple like they’re the ethical option against Amazon here. Any sane person with moral qualms against Bezos will have plenty about Google and Apple too, so let’s not pretend that any of them are anything less than evil.

As of right now I've used 1.97TB, but I'm usually closer to 1.5TB

So I ask, when you are hosting something that is entirely dependent on a commercial entity to function, is Plex really selfhosting in the spirit of this community?

I understand where you’re coming from but, to me, self hosting is an ethos, not a checklist. If self hosting has to be void of a commercial entity then my services at home that are available externally aren’t self hosted since I have to rely on my ISP for that to work. And all of the electricity for my servers comes from a commercial company so those aren’t self hosted. And using a public domain isn’t self hosting.
