The 3b just has USB 2, so even with slow spinning rust, that’s going to be a bottleneck. But it’s probably still plenty fast as a remote storage device for media storage.

Edit: said I didn’t know OP’s use case but in re-reading they did say. Edited accordingly.

On a Pi4.

I was running it on a VM on the home server but then any downtimes that machine had were also HA downtimes. Decided that mattered enough to run it on it’s own hardware.

Maybe self host your own VPN on a VPS and connect the jellyfin server as a client as well as any other devices you want to see that jellyfin server as other clients and configure the VPN server to not override your default routing and to allow clients to see each other? In my head I don’t think that would conflict with your protonVPN connection.

Your traffic would be encrypted between devices so I wouldn’t say https is nessesary and thus no certs needed.

The rubs that occur to me are that I’m not sure you can do this on a free tier VPS which is the only option I see given your financial limitations. And your devices all need to be able to connect to said VPN.

Edit: Slightly less worse English.

Nope. I fiddle until it does what I want. If the thing I’m working on is complex or I’m struggling with it I’ll keep versions of configs. And I back up working configs via an rsync job. Which isn’t a particularly robust solution but I’m content with it for my needs.

For now. (Probably for later, too.)

Probably this is all very reactionary, NVIDIA’s stock will recover and they’ll remain a big player in the LLM space.

But I’m uninterested in LLM’s and would love to see price drops on GPU’s, so i hope there is a longer term moderate market loss for them in this space.

That would suck if so since I obviously utilize it heavily but this doesn’t seem to be the case? Latest release was just a month ago and their github repo is active.

Jellyfin/Plex like many have mentioned.

I personally like Syncthing for petty much everything else. For general file syncing of course. But also with Joplin pointed to a synced directory for notes. With keepass as a password vault. With synced config directories for some apps across devices like newsboat for RSS, and neomutt for email. I also used to use it with rtorrent via a watch directory, though I currently am using a seedbox for that purpose.

VPN (openvpn/wireguard) is a good idea if you want to access your services outside your local network, without exposing them all globally.

I pirated a Prime show I already had access to just the other day out of annoyance because of their ads.

A selection of up to 30 candidates for a ranked choice does sound daunting. Yet despite that 80% of those that voted did complete those sections. That doesn’t sound unreasonable to me.

Edit: mentioned city council specifically. Changed to more generic phrasing.
