It’s also wireguard…

Yeah, I guess I have to accept that Linux will let you do the wrong thing, and (sometimes?) not even ask for confirmation. However, it seems weird to me that the default is not the other way around. Logically, every drive that is not where the system itself is, should be mounted, by default, as non-essential. The fact that the system does the opposite by default is what it baffles me.

The drive that caused a problem was part of a Jbod I had set up, to serve as the partition where my jellyfin library is located. I later discovered it was not my pcie expansion card, but the drive itself that is going bad. It has seen 2271 days of activity, and, apparently, it can’t handle being chock full anymore. After deleting some files it stopped occasionally going off. I can’t remember exactly where I got my guide from, but this one I didn’t use LLM for. I had just searched how to mount a jbod in Fedora 44 on duck, and followed the first result (which seemed okay). Thanks for the heads-up though, I’ll be more careful from now on.

However, these bleeding edges also seem to be the sort of thing that the Linux developers community should iron out of the system for better mainstream adoption of Linux. This is, logically, not how a default should be.

Edit: typos, grammar.

Thanks! I’ll do that today. I did read a lot of the journal (that was how I eventually figured out the problem), but getting to the journal was already a process. What I don’t understand is why super critical errors are hidden away in a log instead of being shoved in my face once they happen.

That’s also a trip. My keyboard is not the standard 104 american layout, because I’m not American, and while using GRUB I had to discover what keys actually stood in for symbols like / and | because it had reverted back to standard layout.

No, but I will now lol

I’ll look into it! Fstab seems like… something.

Yes, I’m building one with old components that I have been buying and saving up for the last three years. I got a good deal on an Arc A310 and that’s the newest thing in that setup, the other stuff is all 8+ years old.

Thanks! I’ll chech these out. I’m planning to start moving things over this weekend, so I’ll take the couple of days till then to learn as much as possible.

What are the downsides of not using proxmox right now? Most people on this thread are recommending it, so even if it’s a little difficult now, but more capable in the long run, I’m up for the challenge.

Yeah, there’s no way I can build another machine in this economy haha Especially because I’m in SA, and here hardware costs 2x-4x

Again people on Lemmy show that they can’t do basic reading and interpretation. For fuck’s sake people, it was obviously sarcasm.

Ah yes, the famous communist fascist… You liberals are just insane.

You do know that above 50 USD taxes are 92% right? Check it out, a product for 1000 reais will have 900 reais in taxes. It’s bonkers. But technically, it has always been like this, but it wasn’t truly enforced/audited. Now that they are collecting the taxes at the point of sale, you pretty much pay for two products to buy one.

Below 50usd the taxes are considerably lower, and just above 50 usd they get a 20 dollars rebate on taxes, so it’s okayish to buy.

I bought a seagate 4tb drive, cheapest 4tb at the time, on Amazon if I’m not mistaken.

Oh, you’re lucky then. NET/Claro locks down all their modens for consumers, and I know that most other ISPs around here do the same.

Nothing of the sort in Brazil. Stuff only gets replaced when broken or completely outdated. And any stuff that might work gets poached by insiders before seeing the light of day. You might get some stuff if you work in IT, out of question for anybody else.

Here people sell 2nd gen I5 + rx 580 pcs as “gamer pc” at 70% the price of a modern system. It’s absolutely bonkers.

Hi fellow Brazilian!

Yeah, second-hand here sucks. You can get x-99 mb + cpu combos on alliexpress for 400 reais though, old xeons are good for server/jellyfin, just not very efficient. For Jellyfin, my biggest money sink is in HDDs. 4tb drives are 700 reais each, and there’s no second-hand refurbished stuff in the market, so you have to buy brand-new. For a GPU I have an ancient 750ti, but I’m looking to buy an intel A310 card if they drop lower than 800 reais. At the very least you’re looking at 3000 reais in pc parts for a server though. Mb + cpu + ram is somewhat cheap if you buy from china through alliexpress, but GPUs are a no go there. Keep in mind that when buying from China you have to avoid products above 60 dollars (around 350 reais) because of the super high taxes. If you want to buy domestically, I’d recommend a b450 AM4 board + a 3200g or something around that. You can avoid buying a dedicated GPU with a 3200g or similar, and get a nice modern platform, but the cpu will be quite weak for game servers, with inadequate support for pcie lanes, memory channels and sata ports though.

Also, for a game server, it’s very likely that you’ll have to work around being behind CGNat. I currently only self host Jellyfin inside my own house because of that, it’s just a huge pain in the ass to deal with it. There are solutions though, I just haven’t bothered. I’m still in the process of buying hard drives, so right now it’s not a huge priority.

Edit 1: wording Edit 2: forgot to talk about psus… Just don’t buy anything chinese. The MSI Mag 650w is the king of cost x benefit here in Brazil, nothing comes close, it’s usually around 300 and rock solid.

I just realized it’s on the post. Sorry for that. This looks like a solid thing, for sure. Since we’re talking, do you ever worry about people making use of the privacy features for nefarious purposes?

Do you have voice calls/group voice calls and streaming already in or in the roadmap?

Do everything outside the walls. I had the same problem in my house, I literally killed all the wires inside the walls and did a whole new installation in an industrial style outside the walls. It’s way better for maintenance purposes anyway.

Yeah, no amount of UPS is gonna fix a problem like that. It’s more than time to rewire their whole electrical grid at home. That’s quite literally a disaster waiting to happen.
