I started out self hosting with windows server 2012 because my school was a Microsoft and Cisco partner but mostly ran Linux VMs on it using hardware raid. Ran bitwarden, Plex and a wiki plus a VM with a bunch of docker containers. Ran that for about 3 years and now have been on Unraid for 6 or so years and loving it.

Finally going to change my status to federally exempt with my work, this shit is insane what they’re pushing through before midterms

It’s been a while but I used automatic-ripping-machine for a long time and worked well. Definitely going to take a look at this in the coming weeks.

The art of the deal. Which I’ve read so many times I will negotiate you down to just $200 for one of these licenses

I use both at home, mostly plex though and I have about a dozen people who watch remotely and keeping the remote access private and secure I’m not putting jellyfin behind a public reverse proxy. Not feasible to setup wire guard for a dozen people across 4 states and troubleshooting those tunnels when Plex does all that for me. Plus Plex allows them to manage and reset their password without my intervention

You never couldn’t from what they’ve mentioned in the past. Its a full android ROM

Which is not within the bounds they mentioned

They mentioned remote streaming which jellyfin doesn’t have a secure way to do by itself

My work started a trial of Duo and it actually was rather helpful. I liked it better than other teams just copy pasting output from gitlab to claude or something. Integrated well and had the option to hide all of it if you didn’t want any of it.

I have several US V2 plugs from athom.tech and they work great via home assistant. They just sit on WiFi don’t call home and are reliable through hoke assistant

I have a company laptop with win11 that some days can’t go longer than 6 hours without a reboot because something stopped working. The ubuntu machine I use instead I restart once a month

Easy for me but not my aunts, cousins or father in law to setup and use.

They snuck in DoW as a secondary name which didn’t need approval. The official name on contracts is still DoD or I guess if the person wanted they could replace Defense with War but it’s all just a waste of time.

Supreme court and Congress have a lot to catch up on so that would be great.

Thank you I appreciate the info I mentally already shifted to not using amazon for ebooks anymore but there are occasional sales I’ll have to get this new method setup soon.

I just set this up last week to finally organize and dedrm my amazon eBook library I downloaded before they disabled that. Working great so far.

Bitwarden was the second thing I ever self hosted. On a local server on a UPS and hasn’t really been an issue across 7 years. Every so often I save an encrypted JSON on my main laptop to use with keepass if there’s ever an issue where the server is down for a while.

My LG C3 not connected to internet and using an HTPC and Nvidia shield is working great so far.

Thanks for the detailed and thorough response

Right now I’m at 33 with 3 stopped I haven’t used in a while. Also got 3 VMs running. A handful are duplicates eg redis/postgresql/photon/caddy
