selfhosted

I recently got it into my head to compare the various popular video codecs in an effort to better understand how av1 works and looks compared to x264 and x265. I also had ideas of using a intel video card to compress a home video security setup, and what levels of compression I would need to get good results....

Hi and hope all are well today. First, thanks in advance for any / all responses. Second, apologies if this isn’t the best place to ask this question....

Nextcloud seems to have a bad reputation around here regarding performance. It never really bothered me, but when a comment on a post here yesterday talked about huge speed gains to be had with Postgres, I got curious and spent a few hours researching and tweaking my setup....

I only download 1080p unless it’s something like LOTR that I’ll splurge on space for. A comedy doesn’t need spectacular visual fidelity....

Buonasera, Mi presento qui perchè non so dove farlo. Sono nuovissimo di Feddit e lo sto provando in paragone a Reddit per lasciare FB. Prima di iscrivermi avevo notato che la qualità dei commenti è davvero elevata (quasi sempre ), quindi stufo di tanto baggianate sono arrivato qui alla mia veneranda età da boomer (sono...

Currently I set up Tailscale in my Synology NAS and I can access selfhosted services on my phone using the Android app. I want to use some services in my work PC too but I’m blocked from installing any software. So my question is, is there any solution that allows me to connect to selfhosted VPN via browser extension? (Just...

I work in tech and am constantly finding solutions to problems, often on other people’s tech blogs, that I think “I should write that down somewhere” and, well, I want to actually start doing that, but I don’t want to pay someone else to host it....

Hi everyone. I’m on the verge of building a new NAS/Media server, and wanted to check here to see if any of you could provide some recommendations based on my goals (below) or your current builds. I currently have a Raspberry Pi 4 running some basic services (Portainer, Home Assistant, Plex, sonarr/radarr/prowlarr, sabnzbd,...

I have started trying out xcp-ng as an alternative to VMWare solutions for virtualization. Currently I have setup 3 VMs of xcp-ng v8.2.1. I have also setup Xen Orxhestra build from source....

I’ve got my main house server that has a number of dockerized applications, including nextcloud-aio. Nextcloud-AIO comes with a built-in backup system using BorgBackups. I’ve had this running and doing my backups, it is probably fine. Notable, it does encrypt the backup....

I tried debugging this issue for hours now but I’m out of ideas. I’m running WireGuard on my OPNsense firewall. It worked flawlessly for about a year but now I’ve gotten a really strange issue....

Hello!...

Hello! I’m currently in the process of seting up an instance (for personal use, testing some stuff). I ran into this issue and while I did find some threads about it, they were not conected to Lemmy and I don’t have any ideas how to solve it myself. For context -> i’m trying to set up the instance on a remote device,...

Hello! This might not be the right community but I’m looking at building a new server and you operate in similar areas and might have experience with this. I’ve got a GPU without video outputs, can I combine that with a CPU without integrated graphics and still get video output from the HDMI located on the motherboard?

Hey fellow Selfhosters! I need some help, I think, and searching isn’t yielding what I’m hoping for....
