Can you just move that product to a new URL? What happens?

Wtf, that’s crazy! Why don’t they tell you about this kind of stuff in school?

I stand corrected then! TIL

It’s a voice chat server. That’s all it does. You can’t post images, GIFs etc.

Fine for if you just need voice, but good luck getting people away from discord.

(Used it for WoW before discord)

But if everyone else is down too, you don’t look so bad 🧠

It just needed the AMD compatibility plugin, lots of time wasted until someone pointed that out though.

Good point. I got 1 year of ultimate, with the plan to upgrade to perpetual if it was good (it is!).

The cost of that is still less than the cost would have been to buy new matching drives.

Has a nice UI, let’s me mix and match disks, let’s me host docker containers plus a VM with gpu pass through.

All basically out of the box. (Ok - Pass through was a bastard) All for a one off price.

I don’t know if there are other options that let me do all of that, unraid has always been the one mentioned.

You don’t have an open banking requirement for banks?

Depends on the ISP, my old one just handed out Fritz box routers with nothing locked down. Still using it now with the new ISP!

Having two could be useful - allows you to separate anything that virtual you wants to host from anything real life you wants to host.

(Without having two domains pointing at the same IP)

I did try that once, you can’t catch stack overflow errors in .net at least. Too fundamentally broken.

That’s a lot of useful info, thanks!

What do you want to run in a VM that can’t run in Docker?

a VM with torrent client and a killswitched VPN was the easiest way to get a secure setup. also meant if it ever got virused I could just roll it back. I need to look more into what docker can actually do by the looks of it.

You are the second person to suggest unraid - is it ok to sit on the perpetual license (for a few years at a time), or are the updates really required? It supports GPU passthrough right, so I can have a ‘normal’ linux desktop for gaming while running the other stuff in the background?

TY for the response!

I only know of it from LTT videos I think, not exactly the best endorsement!

That’s a lot of data (relatively)! Are you paying for the unraid license yearly, or just sitting on an old version?

Here ya go: https://selfh.st/apps/

oooh, TY! Now to guess which ones will still be maintained in 5 years 😆

I guess I must as well have a play with some stuff like jellyfin to see if its useful. The ‘server’ in this case would have a 6 year old GPU in it, so should hopefully have enough grunt.

Thanks for the info!

ah sorry, my new ISP gave me a router, but it doesn’t have any VPN functionality on it (Edited OP to make that clear). My old one probably can’t support the speed, and for some reason doesn’t let me change its MAC address, so I can’t use it as the ISP facing device.

I’m paying for a static IP (and to get off cg-nat)

what benefit does a new router give over just putting the VPN software on the RP for example?

That’s some nice documentation - way overkill for what I need though.

Out of interest - Why is the VPS required, and why the mention of a non residential IP address? Could that not all be hosted locally if your ISP has given you a static IP address?
