Racist people be like…

Get two external hard drives and swap them into a fire safe occasionally.

That way if there’s a need to evacuate you can just grab the fire safe and run.

It’s literally brought up in the video. Watch it before commenting.

Watch the video, it’s more complicated than that from a legal aspect.

This guy is on your side, but knows the law backwards and forward on the subject.

Steam Big Picture Mode allows you to install non steam apps.

I use qbittorrent, and even popular or legitimate torrents get zero uploads.

Can you explain how this works? My seeding is garbage and I’m not sure how to set it up to work better.

Seeding is crippled due to no port forwarding. You can download, you just can’t really share back.

Powered off it uses almost twice the energy of my server.

That’s insane.

You have to get the file from Amazon first in a format that deDRM works on. That’s the trouble here.

Kindle for PC still works, but you have to find an old version and disable updates.

I have Plex running alongside Jellyfin.

When transcoding video, Plex uses an extra 5 watts of power. Jellyfin uses an extra 55 watts.

Jellyfin also has security holes for accessing videos via URL without being authenticated.

I don’t feel like Jellyfin is ready for being exposed to the internet.

I had a 212j for about 10 years before I got a 720+.

The j series are so underpowered the dashboard took literal minutes to load.

The + series is extremely energy efficient, but still powerful. I was running a Plex server along with a Terraria server on it and had no hiccups.

Now they were designed nearly a decade apart, but still. The + series is the way to go, don’t get anything else if you go with Synology.

There’s no such thing as too simple to document. If you spent time learning how to install it, you’ll need to relearn it if you want to make any changes in the future. If you don’t leave at least some notes as to why you make some decisions, you’ll have to redo your work.

It’s also good to make notes on every configuration setting. That forces you to understand why the settings are the way they are. If you have a -f in a docker config and you don’t have any understanding of why that’s there, you might not know if it’s a development flag for getting things set up, or if it’s a critical part of your environment.

It is especially important if any of those parts are exposed to the public Internet. You might have a config set to allow unauthenticated connections and not know it.

Just waiting for it to hit $20. I already played it through once, so I’m definitely not paying more than that to play again.

There is an API that you can call to sync Kobo e-readers with calibre.

It just depends on if this would work with your current thoughts on how your app works.

I would be interested in something that can sync with Calibre-Web

Kinda cool how the configs work, but it feels like you need to rely a little too much on having premade configs available for the things you want to do.

He’s talking about how Jeff said he needs a dishwasher because hand washing dishes takes 1.5 hours a day otherwise (and is a waste of water and energy)
